I did this solo in 2011 on my KLR650, I didn't do any "Hard Ways" and it still kicked my arse. F'n roll chart was 14 feet long (They do GPS uploads but mine was too old) it was my first time using a roll chart, and I only got lost once. Not bad. I grunted, cursed, pushed, rode hard, rode easy, stopped a few times to rest, had lunch at about the 1/2 way point, and about 9 hours after I stared, I was sipping suds back at the convention center and walking kinda funny. I am glad to hear they have added an Adventure Bike route, it will open the fun to many more riders and keep the participation up. It's definitely a fun event, with great organizers, that will give you a workout. Especially on a big bike. Have fun, cause I can't make it

Exactly what I was thinking.

Did you meet the owner? He's quite a character. I went up there a couple of years ago with a Yamaha FJR group that I belong to, the owner gave us a tour and talked about some of the bikes. He then pulled out one of his old looking Ducatis and went riding with us. Don't know how old it was but it looked and sounded old. Great little winery that any motorcycle enthusiast would enjoy.

Major douchebag.

It's almost monkey time...

...and me.

Mike Colishaw has moved his shop and is having an open house and a Mini-Tech day for KLR650 bikes tomorrow May 25th, details on his site. http://eaglemike.com/

Careful what filter you use, No-Toil delamimated the seams on my UNI and another guy had this happen. I've read several reports of No-Toil not behaving well with non-NoToil filters. However, it seems to work great with No-Toil filters.

It runs the gamut, I've been on half day rides or rides that end up in Beatty for lunch. My last trip we took a loop that left in the morning and we didn't get back till after sunset and didn't see civilization the whole time. Be Prepared.

Getting closer....

Yeah, I saw that some time ago. Pretty cool story.

I wanted a Norton for as long at I can remember (since 1975) maybe it's time...

Fixed...sorta. It's got to be one of these maps http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=death+valley+maps&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=4383926415&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=550605&hvnetw=g&hvrand=282772787778666515&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&ref=pd_sl_5zg4fnbl23_b I got the original link from someone else and don't recall which actual map he recommends.

The core days are Jan 30 - Feb 4 some will arrive sooner and some will leave later, like bluefin2na and his 7 day adventure
