  1. I have the Mosko Moto Backcountry 35L Pannier Kit and the Backcountry Duffle/Pack I have used many times on my KTM 1190 R. They are great quality but very expensive. I was wondering when a company would come out with a less expensive version. My Mosko duffle is pretty big, too big really, on the back and I went to a smaller waterproof bag. The 35L Pannier side bags are great. I can't tell in the pictures if the Mosko Quality is $300.00 better though?
  2. I will be riding my KTM 1190 Adventure R. What I can tell from the map the only semi long road section is at the beginning of section 6. The only real sand will be in the first section we do which will be section 2. When you are 100% in go to this website and sign up for the ride. It's all free just easier for me to track who is going. Thanks.

    How do I

    How do I make the subject line of my post bold? I tried using the "B" bold tab but no go?
  4. The NVBDR is a scenic ride across Nevada, beginning in Oatman, AZ, and finishing in Jarbidge, NV. I plan to start this ride in Pahrump NV. Created for dual-sport and adventure motorcyclists, this 900-mile south-to-north route primarily uses dirt roads to lead riders through Nevada’s expansive deserts, open sagebrush valleys, and seemingly endless mountain ranges. Ride dates September 23rd to September 30th 2017. The Plan is to leave from Temecula on Saturday morning September 23rd and hightail it to Pahrump, Nevada which is about a 4.5 hour ride. This will put us at the beginning of section 2. Section 1 is allot of sand and will be to hot in Sept. Decision point: Do we jump on section 2 or what till next day? Once we hit section 3 the elevation will make it nice and cool. I am also open to doing this ride North to South. It is a 10 hour ride to Jarbidge NV from Temecula if we start at the north end of the route. Once we start we should be able to do one section a day except day two which we will do a little more than one section. This will depend on Hotel and Camping locations. I want this to be a fun and stress free ride. If we see something cool We can stop and check it out. I do not want to camp every night but Hotel it at least two nights. We should arrive in Jarbidge, NV, the end of the trip, by Friday. That gives us two days to get home via the hard ball road. It is 10 hours from Jarbidge to Temecula for reference. We would leave Saturday morning to head home. I plan to be home Saturday sometime to rest Sunday. If we do this ride backwards starting in Jarbidge NV and riding South than we would still end in Pahrump NV or you could ball out whenever you wanted to. I am flexible. This is not a real hard ride even for big bikes. Here is a link to the Website for more info. NVBDR Webpage To download the GPS tracks look on the right side of the NVBDR webpage under NVBDR Information. Second link down. If you plan to go you should probe buy a hard Map for $14.00. Purchase Map or CD Here. Let's do this! This will be a GREAT ride. Cost for the ride will be be food, Fuel and when we stay at a Hotel. Tracks are free. I am in no way affiliated with the NVBDR web-page and I am not making any money on this ride. Contact me at 760-419-1847.
  5. YA Both times. The hardest part was getting my bike up after I dropped it. Took me about an hour. I had to rap my tow strap around the hand grip and pull with my body so the wheels would drop down into the rut. That was the only way I could move the beast. Had to do it for the front and back.
  6. Not really bad. I did break my mirror and scratched the hell out of my cash bars! That's what they are for anyway and I have KTM orange paint. No problem.
  7. Great thanks. California Dual Sport Riders meetup has 14 people that signed on to ride. Most should have submitted forms already.
  8. Is it possible to register and pay the day of the event?
  9. I added this event to the So Cal Dirt Bike meetup group and the California Dual Sport Meetup group website. We will see how many people we can get to come and support.
  10. This ride is only two weeks away if anyone want to join me.
  11. I would love to do this ride with you. Unfortunately I am doing the CAT starting that same weekend on my 1190. That is a great area to ride and I don't get out there often enough.
  12. Sounds good let me know and when I get the tracks I will send them over to you.
  13. Just read your ride report and it was outstanding. I did this same route the month before except we jumped on the TAT at the end of the AZBDR and took that into Vegas. I also would love to do this ride again taking a little more time. We did the AZBDR and the TAT into Vegas in seven days. I did not see it mentioned but how did you guys like that first sand section or did you take the bypass? Great write up we have many of the same pictures!
  14. My plan is to leave Saturday morning 5th of November and jump on GPS Kevin's CAT trail were it crosses the 371. I want to ride the route as far as we can till Saturday morning the 12th. On Saturday morning I plan to jump on pavement and hi-diddle it back home. Hopefully being able to rest on Sunday. I will bring camping gear and camp some nights and hotel it others. I do not plan on killing myself to make a certain mileage for the day. What ever we make we make. This is a TEST ride to validate GPS Kevin's tracks so we might do some exploring also? Test riders will need to record gps tracklog information as they ride each section, take key pictures along the way and write a short description for each ride section. I will be riding my KTM 1190 Adventure R. If you are planning on going contact me and I will get you the tracks or contact GPS Kevin for them. You will be one of the first people to ride this new route! Any questions give me a call. 760-419-1847 More Info can be found here on this ride. SO What is the CAT? The CAT is just like AZBDR or other Back Country Discovery Routes except you cannot buy a fancy map at this time. The California Adventure Trail (CAT) is a remote motorcycle route consisting of a mix of dirt roads and back paved roads. The route was designed for adventure motorcycles and dual sport motorcycles but it is also well suited for Jeeps and 4x4s. There are Red, Green and Blue options. The CAT starts at the Mexico border and travels to the Oregon border. In the south, the route follows through the Mountains of Cuyamaca, San Jacinto and Big Bear. In the middle part of the state the route follows the famous Sierra Nevada mountain range and in the north, the route follows the Cascade Range. These are some of the best and most remote routes in the west. The route is best traveled in the summer and fall; late spring can also be good in light snow years. ( We will not be doing the whole route) The CAT route has been designed with options for difficulty levels depending on your skill level and desires. The main CAT trail is shown on maps in blue. Some sections can be tough and during those sections riders have an option to take green or easier paved routes. For advanced riders on smaller dual sport bikes I have added some tough options, even singletrack in places. These red options are not recommended for larger bikes or Jeeps.
