  1. That looks like a great run. Did you all have to ride a lot of freeways or mainly back roads? I ask as with my 390 Adv I can't do much freeway riding.
  2. Thanks again for the KTM jacket Brian!
  3. Dibs on the KTM orange jacket. Text sent. Marco

    Preferred app for finding open trails?

    I use Onx offroad on my phone and have had pretty good luck getting around in SD county back roads. It did show some locked state/county gates. https://www.onxmaps.com/offroad/app
  5. Just a public service announcement. Was riding into work today (I cut through Marlesta St. near Mesa College). It was super foggy and the road was a little damp. Making a downhill right turn across some cross walk painted "hash marks. Rear tire broke traction on those painted lines and boom. Low sided it. No damage except a bent brake lever and a sore bottom. I remember talking to a city road paint crew years back, the guy said when they paint they sprinkle sand on the top of the wet paint, after months/years of vehicles driving over it, the sand layer gets worn away and all that is left is ice slick paint.
  6. Sounds very tempting Randy. I looked around for the route but didn't have any luck. The map showed a red boxed in area to BoLA. Is BoLA the turn around checkpoint or end?
  7. Cheers, You might try McCain Valley ORV area. There is a nice shady campground (BLM) called Cottonwood. Nice enough and still at around 4500' elevation. https://www.blm.gov/node/101576#:~:text=No group camping sites are,and Fire Protection for regulations.
  8. Beautiful country up there!!! Thanks for the photos.

    Thoughts on a Ford Turbo Diesel?

    Avoid the 6.4 L powdersmoke diesel as well. Way too many issues at least from what I've read.

    From street to dirt

    Welcome to the forum. Nice bike! Corral canyon is a great place that's not as hot as the desert now. Just be careful on weekends, a lot of UTVs, Jeeps etc. coming around blind corners. You'll need a US forest adventure pass. I recommend get the yearly at Big 5 sporting goods.
  11. Wow super beautiful country up there. Are you close to Vernal by chance? I've been reading a lot of posts on ADVrider about this OnX offroad map application. Might be something to get you the missing trail details. https://www.onxmaps.com/offroad/app
  12. I came across Tecate (pickup truck) a week ago (yes Mother's day) around 11:45 AM. 2.5 hour wait. Plenty of bikes were riding along the wall and splitting lanes to the front towards the right turn.
  13. Great photos! It blows my mind that those guys used to ride those Triumphs, Nortons, BSAs etc. out in our deserts and down Baja. I think Steve McQueen rode the Mexican 1000 on a Triumph. https://ormhof.org/steve-mcqueen
