I would like to ride also. See you behind Kendall's. I have a white 4runner with Husky 501 and large desert tank.

I'm in.

From the hints you dropped I think I know your intentions. I have done this route on a mountain bike numerous times but never on a moto. The "tracks" can get quite rough and narrow in a few spots and a fall could result in a major disaster at few of the high points. It can be done but care must be taken and the old '"architecture" is worth the trip. Tntmo the 450 would be the best tool for this adventure. Good luck!

I'm in too.

Lurking...

I've heard many good comments about golden tyre. I guess i'll have to give them a shot when the desert IT wears out.

Reguarding tires: I've been happy with the Maxxis Desert IT

Congratulations! That's a great bike. Things on my list of mods would be: Baja Designs squadron LED headlight skid plate Large capacity fuel tank Replace the stock DOT tires with some good off road knobbys New front and/or rear sprockets to change gearing I think the 2018's don't have a kick start but you can add one as an option. Nice to have a back up just in case. Get out there and ride. Enjoy your new moto.

Unable to make this one.

Sounds like a great ride. I won't be able to make this one.

Great ride! I enjoyed it. The added adventure up arroyo seco del diablo was worth the effort.

OK, I've tweeted my schedule on Thursday so I will be there. I'll have minimal time for social hour post ride. See you in the morning.

I'm in. See you in the morning.

Thursday works for me.

I would like to do this ride but can't. I've already made plans to take the 4 wheelers from Ocotillo Wells to Superstition Mt. do some shooting at the range then hit the mountain for some 4x4 action. Also doing operation desert fun event on Saturday.

I'll be there. See you @ 0800

I would like to make this ride. I had minor metal in the trans oil after last weeks ride but nothing too bad. I took off the side cover to inspect the clutch and primary gears and everything looks normal. Bike is now back together and I'm riding to work today and maybe put a few more miles on it Thursday and take another oil sample. I'm not ready to completely tear it down and split cases until there are symptoms or a lot more metal. I spoke with a person that knows ktm 530's and he said not to worry about it. Just change the oil and keep an eye on it. I'll keep you posted.

Bike is loaded in the truck. I will be there too.

I've made other plans for the day. We'll have to do it another time.

I guess the ride is off. Bagstr, best of luck returning to a state of mechanical well being. If anyone else is doing this ride chime in and I'll be there.

Oh Dang! That sucks.

I would like to join in on the fun. I'll see you at Kendall's @ 0800.

Run it.

ratz FYI Saturday (May 20th) morning is the annual Ramona parade so Main St. will be closed from 9:00am - 12:00pm. They have detours but traffic is always a mess. Best if you get through town before 9:00am. I would like to join you on the ride but gotta work tomorrow. Enjoy the ride.

Sounds like a good ride. I'll be there.
