Amargosa Info
I really liked Amargosa. It's fun to try new areas and get away from just Dumont & Glamis.
If you are willing to drive a bit further, try Crescent Dunes.

Armagosa!!!...(shhhhh!!!)
That's my local sand dunes and we try to keep it a secret BR>No but really...it's a great place with some pretty steep dunes. Comp is much steeper than Dumont's...but its a great place to go and test new stuff!
99tjrockcrawler-What do you ride?? I was in Phoenix this weekend but a couple of my friends went out with the new rail they just finished. It was bare metal with no paint job, and just their 1915 VW engine to test out. Did you see em??

Armagosa is is no where near Pahrump or Dumont :
Armagosa-----------------1hr20------------------- VEGAS --------------------1hr40--------------------Dumont
Totally opposite from each other.

We will be going to armagosa this weekend. Anybody else going there??
Posted by: 99tjrockcrawler
Armagosa is kinda close to dumont. It is just outside of Pahrump, NV. I would guess about 60 or 70 miles from dumont. It is on 95 north about 90 miles north of vegas.
Have you got the muzzy 2 into1 exhaust? How do you like it? Is that the only exhaust you have run or can you compare to others? How much faster did they make it? Very noticeable?

Armagosa IS CLOSE to Pahrump...only 45 miles as the crow flys..not much further on the highway..Directions.only 76 miles from Armagosa to Dumont. Directions.So yes they are close in my book.

I have an orange V-Force(wife) and KX500(mine) There were several rails out there this weekend but I did not see one that was bare metal.
I like to try and keep it quiet about those dunes too but just trying to be friendly

take 95 noth for about 90 miles. after you pass the gas stations in armagosa, turn left on valley view road(i think about 8-10 miles past gas stations) you will see the dunes. make a right on dirt road about 3 or 4 miles up.

Where is Armagosa? Is it near Dumont? Never heard of that name for a riding area.

Ahh, Pahrump. I used to get some good fireworks out there. Is it good riding? What kind of riding is it. Any dunes? I can't compare the pipes to other aftermarket ones, but compared to stock it rips. The soud is great. I had 2 seperate groups of riders flag me down to ask what I did to the engine.
