Bagstr 287 Posted July 20, 2016 Sneeker, Looks goood, Which Plate, small bike or the 600? How would you characterize the east vs west side. Is this one of your Explore the Unknown rides? At my limit for questions. Hope it was or will be a good time. Bags Edit; Nice Video, Thanks for the editing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sneeker 29 Posted July 20, 2016 The 650R is the machine. Need every CC when riding miles between 9k and11k. I don't think the pig will be too big for the trails. This is an unknown ride for me, although generally familiar with the area. In this case, instead of drawing the tracks from scratch, I grabbed a bunch of tracks off of GPSxchange, cut and welded them together to fit my need, and added a few custom twists. So, technically 85% of this ride has been pre-run on moto by a dude called CountDown on GPSxchange. East vs west? The east side will have more open country and higher elevation. The west side will be in the Sierra proper, more woodsy. The video is not mine. When researching the area I found that Youtoob and made it my goal to capture what's on there in my ride. I am 100% confident I have achieved that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagstr 287 Posted July 21, 2016 The Bagstr is desperately working to tour the Gravelly Range and Centennial Valley in Montana. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Gravelly+Range+Rd,+Ennis,+MT+59729/@45.0511584,-112.1205725,10z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x5350f371511398e3:0xcabec858ede1823e!8m2!3d45.0511584!4d-111.8404158?hl=en Technically not that challenging but outrageous views.

A good start is to get a copy of California Trail Map. http://www.californiatrailmap.com/ Also get a copy of the Sierra National Forest map. PM me and I can send you some tracks.
