The Randy Trip That Never Happened

Recommended Posts

I got home today around 3:30 from a fun weekend on big bikes.  We started out Friday and met at JaJa place and headed out to Borrego Springs and made our way through Brawley out to Yuma for lunch then into Picacho to camp for the night.  Next day KOFA to Big Eye Mine, Fishers Landing for dinner the Pirate camp off of RedCloud Mine Rd.  I will write more but just got done cleaning up bike and putting away camping gear, dead tired.  I had a fun time with all of you guys that went.  

Please guys chime in and post your pictures

Made it home by 4:30 after a stop at Aqua Caliente Hot spring in Anza Borego State park. Hope that every body else made it home safe.

The timing couldn't have been much better....good weather, small crowds at the places we went and great people on the ride.  I hit the road early on Sunday and stopped on the way home and got some riding in at Lark Canyon with Bob and Paul.  I'm ready to ride again, let's go!

I’m sure glad someone documented one of the 14(?) getoffs?

Was a great weekend getaway, thanks to all. I’ll be posting some more of my photos a bit later.

Oh no no no.  Don't be confused.  This was a skinny bike, 250 class and under ride.  We just decided to throw our pigs into the sand and gravel and pretend they were capable.

I have a new dent in the tank on the left, and a nice scar on the right.  Proof of Use I call it.

I didn't know I could do a NacNac on a Super Tenere until that ride.

I had to use my google-fu to learn the term, but dang . . . that must have been right before that fall you decided to call a recovery.

Those pea gravel spots near the mine are pretty gnarly on a big bike.

If my bike fell (and that's a big IF) and nobody saw it......did it really happen?

Have you ever hauled around a piece of gear for years and then suddenly noticed something you hadn’t seen before?

You guys are all champs in my book for sticking it out even if you did not make it to the end of the ride because that is not an easy ride when you are riding pigs.  Saturday night I had two coor's beers,  a hamburger and half of my frys for dinner, left fishers to camp.  As soon as I had camp setup I went to bed, Roy, JaJa, and Brian all said I was sawing some loud noises all night long.  I was in my tent by 8:30 and did not wake up until 6am.  I was one tired rider.  I will put together a northern ride of KOFA soon, that hopefully will be as epic.  The epic part of the ride was all of you who helped each other out when needed, that is what made it such a great ride.  Until next time.

I signed up for Yoga in hopes that will help my bones and mussels with this riding....... I have to boys because I am doing another Alaska ride and this one will be for the books.   Look forward to seeing you on January 18th
