alyeska 50 Posted February 3, 2018 Im trying to soften up the new ktm so Im thinking a moab trip is in order. I will be taking a toyhauler capable of hauling 6 bikes (with truck bed) and I only have 2 of us going so we have room for 4 more bikes. I am open to dates in March whatever works best for the group since I don't have anything planned for march, I have a friend in moab who owns a long standing motorcycle business so we will have some support for repairs etc if needed. trails will be onion creek, white rim, and a few others, would like to leave on a Friday morning and return home on a Monday so my buddy only misses 2 days of work. I will have lodging for up to 6 persons (buy your own evening booze) in the toybox which will keep expenses pretty low, just take care of yourself or we can do group meals and split it. If interested shoot me a pm with your dates and we will try to make it happen, All riding will be exploring and we are not going to set the trail on fire, bikes must be plated with insurance and some park fees may be required but the ride is free to moab.

HacksawPete 7 Posted February 8, 2018 Wow, I've always wanted to go to Moab. I'm riding in Texas on March 10th and I'm open otherwise. Plated and insured. I'd like to do a video. A group of guys having fun and riding safely in an awesome place sounds like good material for video project. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alyeska 50 Posted February 8, 2018 Its good riding there, I have go pro video ot the white rim on KLRS what a beast for that trail! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alyeska 50 Posted February 8, 2018 Dates are firmed up, leave march 16 return return march 21. The only problem I have is that I only have 3 seats in the front of my truck if more than 3 go we will need a vehicle for passengers, I could always throw a seat and belts in the bed but it would be cold!

alyeska 50 Posted February 8, 2018 Please get with me on a firm yes so I can plan on sleeping space in toybox, we will be full hookup so shower and bath are not a problem, just bring your cooler cuz my fridge isn't that big, I usually do my grocery shopping when I get there.

TrophyHunter 15 Posted February 9, 2018 I'll be cking my calendar and the one I usually don't know about. I'll be going further N after if I go, so hauling my own bike, etc. I have the truck set up for camping, but facilities would be nice. Letcha know as soon as I get the "other" calendar checked.

HacksawPete 7 Posted February 9, 2018 I'll drive my 04 150 crew cab and drag my tiny toy hauler that only has two bunks. Could take at least two riders and gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alyeska 50 Posted February 9, 2018 Everyone that is in we can come to a consensus on campground in town or up on the hill, I know there are other spots but I usually stay at slickrock or the rv park about 3 miles north of moab, that park has great trail access but its a ways to stagger back to camp from town!

TrophyHunter 15 Posted February 10, 2018 Links to the options? Full hookups for you would be good. On site facilities are always helpful. Not much of a drinker, so "stumble distance" isn't on my checklist. "Designated Driver" could be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slaugo 35 Posted February 11, 2018 I’m still in if there’s room? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alyeska 50 Posted February 12, 2018 I decided to rent a diesel truck from Miramar truck for the trip, my old ford would make it but its slow, plus the truck I rent will have a crew cab for more room. I have not found much in the way of open camping for a large rig so rv park is probably how its going to go. I know of a few who have a pub right in front of them and that's always a bonus!
