Ha, We are all snobs in our own particular way. 😲

Thanks Randy, Quite a story.

Guys, This looks like an excellent Moto with low hours. Put a set of George’s Gobblers on the forks and you have about the best suspension available. My ‘16 450 is still an excellent Dualsport, with better suspension than the new bikes. One man’s opinion 👀

That road is tricky because of all the rain channels and many tight turns. For me, not a place to carry a lot of speed. As my eyes aged (71), seeing clearly the details became a problem. Note that the injury sight is in the shade. Transitions, I.e. in and out of shade at speed became a crap shoot. The good news is that there is help available. After three eye surgeries, the details have returned and my riding has improved. Plus, I feel much more in control. Bagstr, On the Trail.

Glad you are back on the trail. 💪

A serious adventure. Thanks for the report. 👀

And just as a reminder, Why do we need radio comms? A. We don’t want to loose anyone out on the ride. B. We want to be Johnny of the spot if a rider goes down. C. The comms allow the ride to Flow smoothly and efficiently. Especially in adverse conditions, I.e. Dust, traffic or different preferred pace. D. Finally, If you are the only rider without comm, what position does that put the others in? They have to waste valuable brainpower looking out for you. E. Essentially, you are out with group because you would like to know what they have to say.

Thanks for the work Mr. Amgems. Good advice regarding the PTTs. Those are the most difficult to fit properly.

Pickiing Up on this thread,,, Zub, I thought you were contacting PMB for intel. Rugged Radio or PCI are sources for quality Comm gear. Noise cancelling microphone, military grade cabling and better ear speakers and ear buds. I find the earbuds work better for my hearing audio spectrum. As noted above, a pull down face shield makes for less volume needed and better quality output to your team. I am to only member of my team that uses Yaesu as they are Cheap. I just appreciate quality. Boa fang or whatever Amazon garbage that is current gets the job done for most riders. All this is for straight comm only. I don’t mix music or phone calls with riding. The sand is hard enough without picking up a call. For that talk to PMB or others qualified to speak to it. 🚶‍♂️

Call Scott and chat. Go with a buddy or two, it gets remote really fast. Also, do not overlook the Abajo Mtns nearby. National Forest stuff 10k plus which affects when you go.

Reminds me of guys I have seen sand washes. 🚶‍♂️

👀 🍭. 😎 Congratulations on completion of the course. Look forward to seeing you on the trail. 🚶‍♂️

In deed, There is. Much to see in the Park, from the legal two track. 👀
