I have had this in my phone for the last 5 years. Big Bear Recovery 909-222-0265. Met him at a coffee shop in BB one morning. Well equipped Jeep, knew every trail up there. Not going to even comment on the KLR rider.

Missed it - Maxima SM

Robert, what two stroke oil do you use?

Lithium battery - Shorai is a great one - The Enduro Shop stocks them

Mammoth Area can be fun for exploring. Take a look around Sherwin Creek, there are lots of snow mobile trails that are all open, some OHV, lots of Dual Sport. Ride back into town when done. Kid/Wife friendly and the air temp is typically nice. Also Mesquite, that is quite a drive and not as much to do for the Kids/Wife and its getting hot out there.

Glad to hear he is doing well. I did see he was putting some serious hours in baja and he was quite a way south for a while as well. I breezed through his IG posts and noticed one which stated no more trophy girls on enduro360, he set up a new page for the them.... looks like he may have moved on from enduro360

Thanks, he has typically been able to keep up his site while taking caring for his tour stuff- just strange to see the page inactive for several months. Hoping it wasn't an injury. I will take a look at IG

Know most of you keep track of other like minded forums. Any idea what happy with Chilly White's page, appears to be several months with no updates... strange

No affiliation - an in county (Encinitas) boot resole shop - been replacing mx boots soles for a while. FYI - http://www.factoryresole.com

Agreed, Ben has done a nice job with the store and has a fairly large selection of bike bags, klim gear, bd lights, etc ... quite a few of the necessary items to go for a long/multi day ride. Most of the items we use are quite specific and have a relatively small sales audience, the store has a surprising amount of them. I am happy to support, in live in NC so close by, good people, not a corporate shopping mall of junk items. It was nice to meet you Kelly, Ken, and Tracy.

They are nice tires

Robert, does Golden Tyre have a moose that will fill the 216AA completely? I have yet to use a moose in one, but received a new 216AA today and looks like it's going to take a moose and an 1/8 to a 1/4 of second one. Will the tire wash around width wide in a Michelin moose?

Bruce - take a look at the reviews for the Golden Tyre 216AA Fat Tire / Steamroller. I have had better results with it. 650's like to push steer, lots of rear skidding needed, this should tire should help some. Ty Davis just received a new shipment - they will go fast - FYI.

Congratulations! I can only imagine the enjoyment you have seeing the truck run and drive again. Lots of memories and history right there -- The truck is smiling as well

These are some simple observations to help - there will be table/s with helpful folks to load the Gps tracks in your handheld Gps the evening before the event and perhaps early the day of. The tracks are not sent out over the internet and please be respectful of the event coordinator by not posting them. The most important part of the Gps and the tracks - are knowing how to use you handheld Gps- being able to (Garmin) "show tracks" "hide tracks" etc. If you have not used you Gps, and are not all that familiar with it, take it in the car on the way to work and make a track, then follow it...etc. As far a the roll chart... you will need an accurate odometer and it helps to be familiar or somewhat familiar with the area. If you get out of sorts and confused with the where you are, you may need to be able to improvise and simple work you way to the next main point. (Note: there are also very accurate maps included at sign up- take a look familiarize yourself the evening before with the route). Typically, there are few hard cores who leave real early (still dark.. 6ish am) most leave 7-8. Everyone I have meet at these rides are all really good people and have no problem with you riding with them. Look for bikes similar in size (weight) to yours as they will be more willing to have you join in. . You literally can ride a good portion of the the ride on asphalt as a bypass - as there are only a few areas which are truly remote. Unfortunately, I cant make it this year, or i would be happy to lead a group myself... and I typically ride solo. This club has a strong group of dedicated sweep riders which will insure you are not left out there. Also, there are two great lunches with super host and a big rider turn out. If you haven't meet anyone on the ride yet, you will certainly meet them there. Hope this helps!
