When I bought this Ivanpah, I fully intended it to be the last buggy I ever bought. However since plans always seem to change, I have arranged to purchase Popeye the Welder's buggy that he is bringing over for NABX. I know tax refund checks will be available soon, so get yourself a really safe and fast buggy for a bargain.

This buggy was purchased in early summer 2010 and being stainless, is as good as a new one right now. To date, this is the only brushed finish Ivanpah buggy ever built. If you scratched the finish, it would be easy to restore to an even brushed finish. This buggy can last you a lifetime.

I've been over 38 mph with this buggy on a beach on the Outer Banks of NC and it was a peaceful easy feeling with no stress or instability. A few weeks later, I was riding with Angus on Jekyll Island and realizing I was all tensed up with an 8.6m Reactor II pulling hard, decided to see if it was necessary to be tense. At 32 mph I gradually lifted my feet off the pegs and the buggy didn't even notice. It just kept on in a straight line as it had been. Unlike other buggies, if you get overpowered you can just let the kite drag you sideways. The siderails are high enough to just let the kite pull you with all tires sliding while you ride out the gust. I've always felt very safe and secure in this buggy.

What a nice snag! Both the Ivanpah and Popeye's buggy. You are a lucky man! Congrats!

Thanks Rich. Yes, I've felt lucky to have the Ivanpah since the day I got it. I would buy another one if for some reason I wasn't able to get Popeye's buggy.

I'll also point out if it wasn't clear, that this buggy can run either barrow tires or the bigfoot tires. There are pictures of it both ways in flickr.

OMG!! Just when I thought I had everything I wanted!!!

My problem with the Ivanpah... I park it on the beach and point the front wheel to the side to keep it from rolling on the gently sloped beach, but gravity alone will self-center the wheel (it's that stable) and off it goes towards the Atlantic. Gotta tell Kent to build in a parking brake. The thing is like a lazy-boy recliner on railroad tracks.

It's interesting to examine the tracks on the beach after being dragged sideways at full speed when over-powered with nary a care. gotta get pics of the rooster-tail's flying off the tires.

Chris, who wears the pants at your house anyway? You gonna just let her push you around that way? Just for the record, I wear the pants at my house every time she says its ok.

Hold on, I'll ask...

Angus,

Get a kite stake and run a bungee cord from the kite stake to the small holes in the front axle plates, use a carabiner on the stake and just hook the hooks into both sides of the front fork. That will keep the buggy where you left it. We do the same here on the lakebed as the winds will blow your buggy away in the night.

Those extra holes also make the perfect place to hook onto when strapping your buggy to the truck.

We just kick a little sand behind the tire to keep it from rolling down the beach, works for me so far! Might not be so easy on the hardpack I guess!

Chris, you ok? I have someone interested if you didn't restore order at home.

Chris made the mistake of saying not asking! He's still a bit dizzy!!:o
Man Chris I wish you were heading up to WBB this spring. You are at fault for my new toy and I thought you might like to try it!:wee:

So then I told her, "I'll be damned if I let you tell me what I can and can't buy! I'm a grown damn man!"

And then she cried. So, No, I can't buy it Bobby. Her Kung Foo is very powerful...

Whatcha Get Dude? (Sorry for the hijack Bobby)

PL Guerilla 13m complete and ready to fly. Depower, All your fault!!
Man that would go real good with... An IVANPAH Buggy. Wish I had more money. That buggy is awsome I've sat in Coremans. Wicked comfy. (end hyjack)

That buggy is a very sweet ride, and so far is the only buggy I have made with the brushed stainless look. It came out awesome!

The price on this buggy is a super great deal as retail, this buggy runs over 2K without the extra's that Bob is throwing in.

Someone should snatch this one up quickly. This buggy is made for NABX and speed!

I really look forward to expanding my limits I had last year in a smaller lighter buggy to the opportunities available to me this year at Nabx in this ultra secure and stable buggy.

Buggy is sold pending payment.

Who's the lucky devil?

I think it best to let the buyer speak out. I will say it looks like it's going to Texas though.

I am the lucky guy.

I realize that as a newbie this might be a huge step up (from my Peter Lynn XR+) , but I am looking forward to learning from all you guys.

Gary

Congrats Gary, you will be spoiled forever getting a nice buggy like this early on. You should progress quickly not having to be timid because you're worried about getting dragged off of or out of the buggy. You could get in trouble with this one but you'd have to really mess up worse than you would a basic buggy.

I'm not sure I can even quantify the delta from and XR+ You'll love this buggy!
