250R's & Glamis Dunes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2020
- I took the '86 ATC 250R and '88 Fourtrax 250R to the Imperial Sand Dunes in Glamis, California.
I've waited my whole life to get an old ATC and TRX 250R into the high dunes. I don't pretend to be on the riding level of the experts of Glamis, but man, we sure had fun. We rode deep into the high dunes for some amazing rides up the big walls and deep bowls. We also photographed a bunch of cool vehicles along the way.
Special thanks to everyone in the Invasion crew. I hope you all enjoy watching this video as much as I enjoyed making it!

I've been going to the dunes since I was a little kid, and this is the best video about the dunes I've ever seen.
Thank you. Glad you liked it. There is gonna be another video coming soon which you will also enjoy.
I agree! 👍👍👍
God I miss those days! it's been 30 years. Started off on a honda 70 3wheeler at the age of 5 and last rode a Kawasaki Tecate 250 at 13. Good times!
Love hearing stories like that. I was on a 200x when I was 13. I would love to had gotten on a Tecate!!!!! Thanks for watching my friend. This video is for everybody who rode back in the day!!!
@@RetroRiders_250R_Magazine It was my dad's bike, but he'd let me ride it when I'd get bored on my 185S lol. Good stuff!
Wow. For a few minutes in September of 2023, at 4am, i was transported back to 1987. Chain link fence over a fire pit, slabs of carne asada for dinner, crispy tortillas...
Hahaha love it!!!! Thanks for watching
Great storytelling. I love your enthusiasm. Awesome mix of stills and live action. What a great video! Man I loved it! Just so well done, beginning to end.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to write a comment.
Awesome video great pic
Glad you enjoyed it! My friends are actually out in Glamis right now while I’m working this weekend in Denver :/
Good storyteller man. I'm just a 12 year old kid who absolutely loves riding quads. My dad introduced me at 7 and I was hooked. My dream quad is a red 250r like yours. I'm actually traveling to dumont California for new years. My family goes every year. I get more excited for the new years trip then Christmas.
Heck yeah man! Glad to hear guys are still interested in the 250Rs. I hope you get one someday and I think it will be everything you ever wanted. Have a great trip with the family and thanks for watching!
I used to have 3 250R
I used to cut the reed stop's off and put in a new set of boysen reed's. One had a high volume water pump.
One 250r still had the original grips still on it , that was an 85
I wish I still had that 85 , it was still tight
Great job on your video 👍
I love hearing about the modifications from back in the day. It’s fun having 250s- I always enjoy the conversations when I drive them around places and strangers wanna talk about them. Thanks for watching!
Longlivethefourtrax250r
Hell yeah brother. If you ever have time, Episode One is entirely about my Fourtrax 250R.
So appreciate you guys bringing back to heritage man which is nothing ain't like it so awesome Thank you bring back a lot of memories always stay safe 🤜🤛🤘💪✌️.
Great video!! Thanks for sharing.
Hey, thanks for the feedback. More to come in the near future!
just got 86 250r im 15 and this has been my dream for a bit but this video made me even more excited to ride in the dunes good vid man.
Congratulations on getting a 250R! These bikes really shine in the dunes. If you ever ride there, I want you to come back to this thread and tell me how you liked it. Thx for watching.
@@RetroRiders_250R_Magazine oh yeah go to glamis every year this Trx250r will be a blast I bet man!
What a great video you put together...I enjoyed all of it! Long live the old school machines! 👍✌
Hey thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I try and make videos about riding that capture the fun of old machines.
Those ATC are super cool. Awesome video, congrats.
Thanks man! I’m really happy with my bikes. Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Great video!!!! Don't know your age but shout out to Black Water!!! Ever been? Great experience!!!
Jake, I know the Black Water. I know the Swamp Duck, the mud fleas, and the Highway 93 river crossing. Never went but man, it would be awesome. Honestly, I’m not sure what bike I’d run… probably my Fourtrax?
Awesome video! Loved the 250r’s and the 350x’s.
Hey, thanks! Glad you liked it. Yeah, love the 250R and 350X. The R's have always gotten their due credit but it seems like the 350X has only been getting it more recently.
Excellent video, Beautiful Machines!
Thanks Lucas! Is that a quadracer you ride?
Such a cool story, thank you!!!
Thank you for the compliment. I glad you enjoyed it.
Glad you liked it. Thank you for the compliment.
Awesome video! Been 20 years since I've been there, makes me want to go back.
I'm so glad you liked it. This video is for everybody but I figured that folks who were there during the old school would really be able to relate to it.
I had to sell my car, a High Jumper Sand Sprite VI in 85 when I moved to Nor Cal. Wasn't going to waste a good car on Pismo! Back when I as still a Glamis Beach bumb a lot of the guys rode the 250 . A friend once loaned me a 350 four stroke, that trike made me look like I knew how to ride!
Another thing going on when I first started to dune was the swap of the 400 RD into the 90 atc frame.
It must have been badass to live out there for a while. I love those stories about the culture back in the day, and all the various vehicles. What are you riding/driving these days?
Outstanding video presentation! Love Glamis. 👍👍👍
Hey thanks for taking the time to watch and write a comment. I’ve got some more videos of dunes I’ll be posting sometime this year.
@@RetroRiders_250R_Magazine, that’s great brother. I’m 45, I used to go to Glamis 5 times a year when I was younger. Rode Honda 150, then 250R. Just retired from the Navy after doing 24 years. Your video really struck a nerve with me. Maybe now I can make my way back out to the desert.
Cool vid. I am still rockin my 85 250r and 87 trx 250r too. These two bikes were my childhood dream bikes as well. ✌
I was just showing off my bikes to a friend last night. I love how they are classic rides at this point but they are still sooo fast. Honda was just way ahead of their time.
Great video, great narration, even the music had an 80's feel to it..👍...from a 25yr + Glamis Duner. Next stop Dumont ?
Oh cool, glad you liked it. Yeah, I've been riding my whole life, but I'm definitely not on the level of the local duners. So... I'm going back to Glamis next week for some filming of another rider and then I'm not sure what's next. I have friends who've been telling me to get to Dumont so I think I'll get there sometime in 2021. Living in Denver, these trips require a lot planning.
I am from the north eastern and we just don't have much big sand. Always wanted big dunes ripping it up. On the to do list. This channel makes me miss my 350x bad!
Bro, I really appreciate you taking the time to look at my channel. Many more videos on the way! I’ve got (2) more 250R videos that are almost done.
It is my absolute dream to ride Glamis! Since I as a little boy. Live on the east coast,I hope it happens 🤞
There are two parts to the trip: Riding in Glamis and having your dream bike. If you can line them both up, it’s the trip of a lifetime.
What an awesome video! Great storytelling, great still photos and action video clips, very well done! I'm from Tucson, my family went to Buttercup in Yuma every year for Easter from 1982 until about 1989. As a kid I started on a Honda ATC 110, quickly moved up to the ATC 200s that my mom bought new in 1985, to the 200x that my brother and uncle had and later to the 250r that my brother and uncle got. Later in life I also had my own 200x, 350x and xr600 dirt bike. I ended up crashing the 200x because I blacked out from dehydration while I was going 45-50 MPH, veered off the trail and hit a tree head on which broke four vertebrae in my neck, pinched my spinal cord and left me paralyzed from the chest down. I miss riding so much and I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't go back to the sand dunes as an adult! We stopped going to the sand dunes and started going to Rocky Point instead. There's one sand dune in rocky point that's great but it's not the same experience as Buttercup or Glamis, that's for sure! Anyways, thanks for the awesome video!
Hey, thank you. And thanks for sharing your story. Wanna know something? I’m from Tucson! I used to ride a 200X in the Rillito River wayyy back in the day! Small world.
I’ve still never gone riding in Rocky Point. We used to go ride ATC’s in Kino Bay.
@@RetroRiders_250R_Magazine No problem! I thought you were from Tucson, I heard your mention of it in the video. That's funny, I rode the 1985 200S that my mom bought brand new up and down the Rillito river, all the way to shit creek. LOL! I also used to ride my 1971 Honda SL 350 enduro that I bought for $50.00 up and down the Rillito river... That's funny, definitely a small world! I got paralyzed out off of Tangerine road on the trail that we always called "Box Canyon" that dead ended in the Tortalita mountains, there was remnants of an old house and a concrete pool all the way at the end. It was always my favorite place until it turned into a housing development... Pisses me off! Thanks again for the great video, I appreciate it!
@@krisjato Yeah, so I used to ride the 200x in the Rillito all the way between Sabino Canyon road and Craycroft. We'd also go ride our MX bikes out at Wilmont, over by the AirForce base.
Sorry to hear about your accident.
@@RetroRiders_250R_Magazine That's awesome, man! I was at the other end of town, riding in the Rillito from La Cholla all the way past I-10 to the Santa Cruz river and then down the Santa Cruz for miles! We would also go the other way in the Rillito, heading east, going at least to 1st avenue. I used to take my XR600R out to Kolb and Los Reales, just north of the IBM plant when it was still there. Such great memories! I rode that old 1971 SL 350 enduro in the Rillito more than the ATC's, it was a blast! I was very impressed with that bike, especially because I only paid $50.00 for it, I had some really good races with my brother's 1986 ATC 250r that he bought brand new! I sure miss those days, that's for sure!
Thank you, sir, I appreciate that! It is what it is, it's been over 20 years, I'm used to it now!
Awsome video love all the content nice job I enjoyed whaching it.
Hey thanks Bruce! I’ve been too busy this last year to edit much but I’ll get some more videos up for you guys during the holidays. See you in the dunes sometime!
Long Live Honda, ATC and TRX Love them Both ! Super Cool VideoI wish Texas had Sand like Glamis /Sand Mountain etc.
Man, love hanging out in Texas- great state. Sorry you guys don't have the dunes like Glamis.And yes, Long live the Honda 250R's. See you around!
Great video! Was a fun year 2020 was. One more week and we are heading out for the 2021 Invasion!
Yeah, it was a super fun trip. I wish I could be there with you guys next week. Take some pictures and have a good time!
With 30 subs this is really good better than I can do and most youtubers you deserve more!!
I make the videos I would want to watch, so yeah, we’ll see if other people want to watch them too. Thanks for the support. Appreciate it.
@@RetroRiders_250R_Magazine Yeye i subed very nice edits and me at 150 subs I cant even edit lol
Great video sir, thank you for all that hard work and man your 250r is sexy, I’ve been looking for an older banshee but after seeing your Honda, I may just go that route!!!
Yeah, I can certainly appreciate a nice Banshee. I'd say they have just as much of a cult following as the 250R's. That said, it's always nice to have another rider in the 250R clubs, so I'm hoping you get the R!
I need to go to glamis, ive been going to dumont dunes for some time now and those are incredible dunes also, but glamis is much larger i see. Hondas for life. Im thankful i was able to purchase a trx 450r (05) before they discontinued them. Nice video.
I’d love to have bought a TRX 450 new, if I had, I’d never sell it. And yes, come ride in Glamis- you’ll love it!
Very cool!! Love this video, I was born nearby in Brawley. Been going to the dunes my whole life. Can’t wait to go back in a few weeks! Glad you enjoyed it!!...and I see you met our buddy Harry!! Super rad, glamis is all about family. Love to see this stuff.
Glad you liked it. Yeah, Harry was super cool. He goes "It's tough you know? I’m not just the owner... I'm also the driver, the mechanic and the fundraising committee." Ha! I think we can all relate to that.
@@RetroRiders_250R_Magazinejust got my ATC 70 running yesterday for my six year old doing some laps in the backyard me and my big dumb butt pulled out my 250R 85 since the last machine out of 20 you should bring out to do some circle rat Lab Spina ATC 70 got loose flat by cookies got a purple bruise on my butt cheek wife said you got to sell it I said no way we're going to the dunes this winter
@@RetroRiders_250R_Magazine what jet size did you use on your 250R ATC and can you do a jetting video by the way awesome vid
@@TURKEYMAN60185 I keep all that stuff written down in my manual but I wanna say it was a 160 main jet. Now, keep in mind, mine has a FMF fatty gold pipe and a spark arrest muffler on it. Your jetting can also be influenced by little stuff like whether or not you have a lid on your air box.
Yes, I’ve been planning to do a video on jetting for a while now.
@@TURKEYMAN60185 Back to the dunes! I don’t care how advanced other vehicles become, my primary dune vehicle will always be my ATC250R.
Love this stuff dude
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. I'll keep it coming then.
Awesome Video Andrew!! Great footage!
My man, thanks so much. Same to you.
Oh hell yeah brother! Arizona is the place to be for trail riding, not so much for dunes, though. You’ve deserved a sub!
Yeah, grew up in AZ, did nothing but play in the desert and go look at scorpions all day. God how I envied those boys who grew up in Yuma. I wanted to be one of them!
Nice video. I've been going to Glamis since the mid 70s. I'm riding a 1985 ATC250 that I actually purchased brand new. Lotsa hours on it, lotsa money into it! Still love it! You guys had some really interesting trikes out there, particularly the Husky.
BTW, only 50 gallons of fuel for 4 bikes and 4 days? Man, you guys need to ride more! That's barely more than a tank per day per bike. We go thru at least 2 tanks per day! Although in September, it is pretty hot out there, so...
@retroriders This is by far the coolest diner video I’ve seen! Hey you gotta check out dumont dunes California. Not too far from glamis. That place is where I’ve grown up riding. The thanksgivings there are amazing. It’s an awesome place. I have yet to check out glamis, it is certainly on my bucket list.
Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it. I have a friend who's been trying to get me out to the Dumont Dunes for a while now. I'll def head out there someone soon.
This was so cool man I can’t wait to go!
Glad I can get some fellow riders pumped to head out there! It’s like paradise.
@@RetroRiders_250R_Magazine it really is! You did an amazing job on the video it’s going to take me a bit to get out there hence I’m on the east coast but will make way soon!
@@BostonBanshee Drop me a line when you go. Maybe we can ride together
@@RetroRiders_250R_Magazine sounds good man !
I want to go! I have a old CR500R
I had an '89 CR 250 that I loved. A CR500 would be an amazing dune bike. I've always wanted one.
Great Video.
In 2 weeks it will be my 34th Season, and you guys covered everything, except going to Legendary Boardsmanville.🍻
Y'all come back now.
And I saw that Husky conversion bike it Dirt Wheels Mag.👍
MxB 53 Hey thanks, glad you enjoyed it! And yes, that was Brad’s conversion you saw in dirt wheels. That’s crazy that you could recognize it. We’re heading back to Glamis in November. Might make another video, we’ll see. Later this month I’m gonna release another video that will have some more down riding and other stuff too.
@@RetroRiders_250R_Magazine You'd BETTER make a another video if you go to Glamis. 👍
And an FYI, Veterans Day Weekend is the beat weekend to go, they have an AWESOME Ceremony at the Flagpole at 11:11am on the Nov. 14th.
Thousands of folks show up to see the event....A Must See ! 🇺🇸👌
@@mxb5346 For sure. I have a concept for a new video to shoot in Glamis. I did not know about the ceremony at the Flagpole, I'll see if we can attend. Thanks very much for the idea.
Definitely on my bucket list. Made my 250r dream come true 2 years ago and picking up an lt500 project quad tomorrow. Someday they will both cross the border and hit up the dunes down that way. Awesome vid buddy
Oh man, I’m jealous. I’ve wanted the 500 for a while. I’ve never ridden one but I think it would be a phenomenal dune bike. Thank you for watching and best of luck with your Zilla!
@@RetroRiders_250R_Magazine I haven't even seen one in person yet. Old 2 strokes are very rare where I live, haven't even ran into another 250r anytime Ive been out everyone's got newer 4 strokes but do they ever look when they see me roll up on my R. Best part is my 32 year old R eats pretty much any 450 I run into
@@mr.mackey6370 Yesss! I know exactly what you’re talking about. My 250 gets tons of looks. And then when they see us start shredding? Forget about it. Most guys don’t realize how good these old race bikes can move. And don’t get me started on the smell- love that 32:1 smell!
@@RetroRiders_250R_Magazine when I was a kid there was a spot people use to ride at all the time. Would jump on my ol 86 200s every morning I could and head there. Crisp cool morning air with the smell of 2 stoke lingering
From what I’ve heard the Oldsmobile hill was called that because the only vehicle to make it up it was in Oldsmobile powered dune buggy
Would have been awesome to be the first person to make it up. I love looking at old pics of vehicles back in the day.
Yes
Awesome! I really want a trx 250 r
Glad you liked it. I hope you get a TRX250R someday. The more I ride mine and work on it, the more I am impressed with the machine. Honda was firing on all cylinders when they built it.
Kinda surprised he didnt say anything about the blaster lol
Grew up riding my dad's 85 250r. Two speeds, 1st and oh fuck! He still owns the bike he bought off the showroom floor. Never been opened, never rebuilt. Damn thing still starts 2nd kick to this day.
Dang man! I've never owned a new machine. That is so cool. 250R's are my favorite. They were the first bikes I loved as a kid and my enthusiasm for them has only grown.
Nice video
Hey thanks man. Appreciate it!
awesome video! thanks for the time and effort. However, I must comment on how right around 8:50, you showed a 350x pulling up with the sound of a 2 stroke. I must say thats some cheap hollywood deception sir. haha cheers!
I know the shot you are talking about. I was sitting on my 250R and it was idling while I filmed Jake pulling up. If you watch it again, you’ll hear my bike idle and Jake’s 4-stroke pull up. No Hollywood smoke mirrors in my videos! Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!
Such a bad Video bro! I just purchased a 1983 200x, can't wait to ride it out there.
Thanks for taking the time to watch my video! I’m glad you enjoyed it. And congratulations on getting that 200x. For me, the 200x will always be special. My neighborhood let me ride his and it changed me life!!!! I believe it’s the best all purpose trike ever made. I’ll see you in the dunes someday!
Been wanting to go there for years just never found the time to. Let me know next time you go. Id love to go out and get a ride with a large group of other atc guys. I have 2 250r's
Heck yeah, I’ll ride with you sometime. Your 250’s would really shine out there. Those bikes are sooo sweet in the dunes. I think we’re gonna go back sometime in October. You’re welcome to join. Thanks for watching!
Hell ya! My life goal is to get out there from Massachusetts some day!
Heck yeah man. Don’t forget, you can always fly into California and then rent a camper and a quad/razor. I know it’s a long drive to haul your own toys from the East Coast. Thx for watching!
@@RetroRiders_250R_Magazine yesir 2800miles one way..il be taking 2-3weeks off work haha..probly a once in a lifetime trip I'm looking forward to the many stops along the way! Great idea though..but it's a lifetime goal to go across the country just need few more years to get everything ready lol
@@evan1kx125 It really is a once in a lifetime type of trip. And having your own machines? Nothing beats that. Glad to hear you've got a plan. I'll see you in the dunes someday.
Nice video. Where to find ATC250R or TRX250R for sale? How do you compare them to ATC350X power wise?
Not sure where you live, but...You can find a ATC or TRX 250R if you just watch some of the sales pages on social media platforms. They aren't super common, but they are out there. I've got several friends with 350X's. I'm impressed with them. It's a different type of power and it depends how you ride them but I will say that when the hills get REALLY steep, like CHOKE Cherry, the 250R shines and the 350 hits its absolute limits.
What size paddles you got on the TRX? Seemed like they handled Glamis and St. Anthony pretty well. And I’m sure the fact you can really ride helps too! 😁👍
The TRX has 20x10.00 - 8 and they have 8 paddles. I really like them because they have the right amount of spin, grip and slide that I'm looking for. Those tires on the back of the ATC will bite like crazy but they have almost no spin, which makes certain moves harder. Thanks for watching!
@@RetroRiders_250R_Magazine Thanks, appreciate it. Hope you keep up the great videos! 👍
tri Z is DOPE! was the fastest back then..
My friend Jake has 2 and I’ve ridden them. Much different ergo. Super hot engine. I do like them.
FNA Brother
What would you do with a collection of seven TRX 250 R’s
clyde cox I’d make a video about them. Show the differences between the years, talk about the mods, sit back, drink a beer and admire my collection.
I if I had seven I know one thing, I would want 8.
I bought a 10 hour 1985 tri Z with a broken clutch case been sitting in barn since 85 ten hours or less
Brand new basically
Holy smokes. That’s wild. I’ve been hearing stories like that all my life. Still hoping I’m the guy who gets the next Honda ATC 250r new in crate... hey, a guy can have dreams, right?
Need a spare headlight cowling for that 88 trx250r? Got one
You spotted the one of the part the bike I haven’t addressed yet. Ha! I can’t decide what I’m gonna do about headlight. I’ve been planning to do some type of LED but I really haven’t got a game plan yet. Advice?
I was always told there’s an old Oldsmobile that got stuck on the hill and just got buried over time been around 250R’s since I was in diapers I have one of my parents 87 Trx’s that they bought brand new and it’s been with us ever since I’ll never get rid of it
The folklore of Glamis is too cool. I have heard that rumor about the Oldsmobile that might be buried.
I’m jealous of you guys who have a bike that was bought new and is still in the family. That would be a great family heirloom.
@@RetroRiders_250R_Magazine well hopefully you can start that with your bikes and your kids when they get older
@@randyosborne6381 That’s the plan!
Haha broke a chain at little Sahara Oklahoma and a ls swapped pro charged jeep towed me back to camp!
Yeah right? Jeeps always come rescue us riders. It's in their contract!
12:45 is that an 81?
It's definitely a G1, but I'm really not sure if it's '81 or '82.
When are you going to Glamis again
Hard to say, but no plans for the upcoming season. I’ve been riding dunes in St Anthony a lot these last few years.
Thanks I was just wondering because we go every February and it would be awesome to see you there

guy rides up on a 350x with 250r sound dubbed ...lol c'mon man ...?lol
Wrong. There is zero engine audio being overdubbed. Are you talking about the hill climb at 18:30? While they were going up the hill to my right, there was a different rider on a 250R, going up the hill to my left, and the camera was picking up his audio. You will see him enter the frame of view at 18:45.

@@craigbielsky115 Ohhh, I gotcha. That’s def a 250R you hear. It’s mine. When I filmed Jake riding over to me, I was sitting on my bike and it was idling.
