Well, I made my Australian remember run this days. I started on Friday diving Country road to Primm NV, where I run into Pet from Oceanside on the 66. He told me about a XLADV meeting in Kelso (Hole in the Wall Campground) and that Tracie will do the catering. So I crushed the XLADV party with a donation. I stay only one night and took off in the morning to Pioneer town NV. After a second coffee, I felt that I need more dirt and decided to ride to Primm to the dry lake. I got direction and went on my way. The way down to the dry lake gave me some trouble and reaches the Lake bed made me feel good. I went on the throttle and had some good speed when I decided to go back on the powerline road. To lay the bike down takes 1 second, to pick it up 4 hours. 1 hour I tried it by myself and 3 hours walking to the Primm casino and get some help. Lucky there had a MX race and some members of the “Shamrock Race team” drove out with me and pulled the bike back on the dry bed. After a total of 5 hour, I had recovered, repacked and got back on the road. Since time where running out, I hit I 15 for 4.5miles to get to the Nipton road and heading east. The night I spend on Lake Mead near Searchlight. Next morning after a good Breakfast, I went south to Lake Haversu and then on the 66 to Kingman. Warning, never drive to Oatmen on a Weekend. There were 1000 car clubs, rally’s and HD coming from Kingman and blocking the Town. I made it via 66 to Seligman, (Dirt to) Perkinsville, Jeromes and Camp Verde, where I spend the night. On Monday morning I attacked the “Mogollon Trail FR300” a nice trail but rough and corrugated. Back on the AZ 260,273,249 and south on the 191. The 191 is needed to get the flat spots from your tire and make them round again. I ended up in Clifton, just past the Morenci Cooper and Gold mine Town. This Mine is Min(d)blowing. Tuesday: From here I went NW on the 70 with every possible Byway. Made it to the Roosevelt, Apache Trail, Tortilla Flat, Florence, Casa Grande Maricopa and Gila Bend. Today I started with dirt from Hyder to the Yuma proving ground, riding the field and canal roads. I made it save home by 2 PM with only 4.2 miles Highway. Ride Byway, Not Highway
