X-country-Rider 0 Posted November 11, 2011 I LOVE the XC, but... you been up Oriflamme on it yet? No not yet i spent a week riding around Monache Meadows in the Sierras so i don't think it will be a big deal. I'm wondering how it will do with the sand at the bottom.

Ben Cool look for a guy with a yellow jacket on a White Tiger 800 XC. You've probably seen my Yellow BMW G650 for sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
X-country-Rider 0 Posted November 11, 2011 Nice pics. nch I really like my CJ2A at Butterfield. It is only there during Desert Dash. The Picture of my Xcountry in front of Butterfield Ranch was from the 2009 Desert Dash as well. Your jeep pic came up on a Google Search. I was trying to find a pic from somewhere other than the Butterfield Ranch Resort web site. I didn't want to make a Butterfield commercial Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
X-country-Rider 0 Posted November 11, 2011 Nice!!! Welcome to SDAR...and props for taking that big bike up some of that stuff... I haven't ridden the whole route on the Tiger 800 XC yet but i don't expect to many issues the tiger handles this type of route fairly well. Its actually better off road in many ways than my BMW G650. its got a better suspension more ground clearance and a 21inch front wheel that makes the rougher stuff more forgiving to ride. Of course its much heaver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
X-country-Rider 0 Posted November 11, 2011 Now that you veteran San Diego adventure riders have taken a look at the route do you think its optimal for a two day mid range route for ADV Bikes? The one problem i had was connecting Viejas Grade at Alpine to Otay Mountain Truck trail in Dulzura. The connections is all pavement I couldn't find a suitable dirt piece in between. Is there a better way? I want the route to be fun for the KTM 990, BMW F800GS and Tiger 800 XC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteelRain 0 Posted November 11, 2011 If my Sunday ride falls through I plan to hit this on the GSAdv. I will let you know what I think. However, I have a similar route to this, though less miles, that is a good 3/4 day ride. My riding on the big bikes typically is more agressive than others so that may skew the results.

Can you take pictures along the route especially of the areas that others may find challenging? I'm really interested in your feedback taking a big adventure bike on Santa Ysabel Truck Trail and Orriflame Canyon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
X-country-Rider 0 Posted November 12, 2011 I LOVE the XC, but... you been up Oriflamme on it yet? Just went up Orriflame Canyon today and posted the pictures over on ADVRider on the thread. Fun Ride no issues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

X-country-Rider 0 Posted November 18, 2011 I just noticed a dirt road through Santa Ysabel Indian Reservation called BIA Rd 51. This could chop out a long boring strip of pavement. Any one ride this road? Its off the 79. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eddie 0 Posted November 18, 2011 Careful on indian lands. They take trespassing pretty seriously I just noticed a dirt road through Santa Ysabel Indian Reservation called BIA Rd 51. This could chop out a long boring strip of pavement. Any one ride this road? Its off the 79 and looks to be near the casino. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteelRain 0 Posted November 18, 2011 Very true. I know that there is some rinding to be had in that area very near to that location but I am unsure of the legality. I was happy to go to the Desert last week, but if somebody wants to get together in December (preferably on a weekday) to ride this I am fairly sure I could find some time. Careful on indian lands.
