First post skeezers!!



Sportbikebandit, keep that trail groomed for us later this summer. Looks like a moderately good time.





Are Mormons allowed to lane-split? I'll come up and give 'em a lesson or two.

Get back to work you heathen. After that A-bomb you produced in the cab of the MO truck this week I'll have no more gruff from da likes of u. I think something like that masterpiece of yo's must have killed the trees in some of the photos except in that case a volcano was probably involved or sumthin. I dunno.

Home sweet home. Haven't had the chance to ride in the River of No Return; only done it on my feet to date. Nice one, sporty-man.

Are there any nice wineries or places to go antiquing along the route?

 

[nokneedragin]

Beautiful, Thanks, I needed a nice scenic place to NOT be able to go to any time soon. Lucky [email protected]ble grumble mutter mutter....

Alright, this cinches it. I'm getting that KLR 650 I've been lusting after before the summer is fully underway!

Way too cool Martin. This is just the kind of trail I've been looking for to take my DR on.

Good job, it reminds me when I lived in Baker Nevada & the places we could go. I'm leaning toward a Vstrom 650 to go with my Road King and stories like this make it irresistable.

Great article, Martin. You should come down to Canyonlands sometime and run the White Rim trail around Island in the Sky. It's almost as long. Don't try it in summer, though.

 

[Buzglyd]

Is there a good Starbucks along the way?

 

[seruzawa]

I've got an old steel percolator and a sterno stove. Will that do?

 

[longride]

Closest to "off road" here is a gravel alley. That or one of the local pothole strewn roads. Now taking the Geezer down that thing would be an adventure. Buz, ya up for it??

 

[sportbike_pilot]

I think I have done that trail and it is a BLAST.



This summer we are going to ride from Snowville UT to British Columbia on dirtbikes. All fire roads and single track with the Magruder thrown in the middle. The most fun you can have offroad.



And for apres ride entertainment I'll introduce Buzz as "my metrosexual friend from California" to some of the good old boys in Elk City.

Go do a few laps around Wrigley field when the Cardinals come to town. I hear the infield is less than smooth then.

Throw in a purple couch, some halogen lighting and a few bad Joni Mitchell records and I think we're on to something.



I'll bring the Nutmeg!

 

[sportbike_pilot]

I'll have a couple of tobacco chewing, horse beating, fire fighting women with packs of camels rolled up in the sleeves of their tee shirts all ready for you.

 

[seruzawa]

There's usually an idiot or two who tries to do the trail in Ford Exploder or some similar phony ORV and gets stuck. You could use the back seat for the couch.



No Joni Mitchell. You'll have to settle for Howlin' Wolf.

I can get this stuff free at the Adventure rider web site

 

[Buzglyd]

I did take the Ducati down a rutted dirt road where we rode for the naked bike story. Right near that Indian Casino.



It was quite an adventure even if it was only about a half mile. Michelin Pilot Sports aren't a real good off road tire.

Great read Martin. You picked the right bike to do it on.



Only option I'd ask for would be a scabbard to hold my VZ24 (in 7.92 x 57).



And a big chrome luggage rack to haul back them tasty critters.
