You know where we’re at. Roll in, throw a bag on the picnic table and pour 2 fingers of Rye. We’ll leave the light on for you.

It wasn’t my fault. @danrider sold me that pile of ----.

From 3 sisters trailhead down to Eagle creek. Or vice versa.

Dammit Tom, you keep that up and I’ll leave Woodford Reserve home and bring you some Old Crow instead.

..... um ..... John, if you don't come to camp you'll never get to see the "super-simple moto travel kitchen and cookery kit" and it's marvelous use-ification. You'll wander the universe on your motor sickle bouncing along with clanking pots and pans and excessive gadgetry for the rest of your life having missed an example of pure camp kitchen genius. Seriously though, I've had the privelege of sharing probably a hundred campfires with riders over the years. Nobody ever shows up to talk politics or other controversial topics. We all go there to unwind and forget the worlds problems. You bring the salt, I'll bring the pepper and we are gonna have an awesome time!

That’s it. Nobody is gonna top that. We can close the thread. 😂

Worst stage dancing, ever. Shoulda got him 5-7 in the slammer.

My how times have changed... ok ok, back to our scheduled program now.

1 and 2 can stay back in camp for that.

Udo, come home. Go on the Noobs camp out with us, and tell the story around the campfire.

This looks like fun.

Fair enough question for anyone really. I don’t think it’s important to be exact because that’s impossible for most of us to judge ourselves. It’s all relative. I know that if I’m on a 1250 and others are on 300-500’s, they are going to be waiting for me if it’s technical. And vice versa if it’s highway. Stopping for pics is a GREAT descriptor as it speaks to your pace and frame of mind. Mixing a pic-taker with a mile eater doesn’t make for a happy couple.

I’ve created a monster.

I absolutely fricken will do no such thing. You wanna see the magic you gotta come to camp. just remember, less is more.

If anyone has gear needs, gear to loan, or gear to sell for this event, post up for it Here.

The sausage sounds a treat, but since this is an "intro to moto camp" event, I'll bring my super-simple moto travel kitchen and cookery kit and display feats of culinary majestery (I made that up).

@padu, is that the R80 or the R40 on your bike?

And that, my friend, is why I love the big bikes.

Here's the .gpx track Tom described. If you enjoy such things ... plop it into your unit and follow along as we eat Toms dust. Indian Flats Intro to Moto Camping.gpx

Tom, GREAT route and destination for this event. I've ridden through Indian Flats CG many times but never stayed there. Glad to see it open for us! Udo has a GREAT adventure story about that place . . . but I'm gonna let him tell it. DSM8 - me thinks you didn't follow Toms route with your Google-foo.

Me too. Ducati beat them to the punch. The germans should've had a 750/850 rally(ish) bike out years ago. Yami's T7 was a great step in the right direction, but still not a bike most ADV travelers want. I'm looking for long term reviews on your bike. I'm thinking it could be the (closest to) unicorn for 500+ mile days on pavement, to get to the good and dirty stuff.

Ducati is hitting the ADV world hot with that Desert X! I thought as of last year they were going to run hard at BMW with the Multi. I expected them to bullet proof it a little more and reinforce the subframe. This DesertX seems like a way better idea.

Or sometimes I’m just really in the mood for a hot tub.
