Made reservations this morning, looking forward to meeting some more fellow riders from SDAR. Do I need to pack extra fuel with my 120ish mile range?

Nope. ~100 mile range is good. Where did you book your reservation? AVI or Laughlin?

Suppose a guy had a big bike- is there an interesting way to ride to Bullhead City?

Even if it took a day or two?

You could ride to Barstow and then take Mojave Rd. for ~165 miles to the CO. River

I only know of 2 people who committed/made reservations for the proposed "Club Ride" :blink:<_<

Screw it.........I'm going to bail/cancel and defer it til TBD next Fall......I need to switch focus and prep water toys for Spring/Summer deployment......plus, Kathy is now heading out with me that weekend.....it would be "politically unwise" for me to blow off spending time with Kathy ( :girl_devil: ) and also blow off taking care of house/water toy chores to ride motos with a group of....."2" :mellow: .....that would also leave me ill prepared for our return 2 weeks later to play in the river with the kids :thumbsdown_anim:

So, stay tuned for the next opportunity......hopefully more folks will jump on the bandwagon in the Fall......

I was all set to join until my riding budget got cut after my wife's job took a hit with the sequestration cuts. Thanks for trying to organize this and hopefully you will try again in the fall.

I did that on my big adventure bike (XR 680L), loved the ride, left Carlsbad at 4:00

Was an easy day, when I got there, I couldn't wait to get home, though!

Waiting to see confirmed date

11/7-10 is a confirmed timeframe since I have Friday the 8th off from work.......I understand some folks may opt to come out Friday night so they don't need to burn a vacation day......those folks may opt to ride only Sat. or Sat/Sun morning then split......I'll be heading out Thursday night and riding big loops on Friday/Sat......just clean up the house and drive home on Sunday......

I modified the initial post to reflect the proper dates.

well, if it involves mostly dirt, I am.

Also willing to pitch in for gas if someone has room in the truck. (rather do option#1 though)

either way I'm trying to make it up there, thanks for putting this together CD!

Crawdaddy.. I am in! I am good for Thursday afternoon - Sunday as well. How does the night bike storage thing work at the AVI? I have some vehicle options as well, happy to haul some bikes... But this post looks kinda quiet. Let me / us know, i will need to make a reservation. Thanks

Any insight into tent camping (IE boondocking) in the area, close to the river would be cool? I've never been out that way so I'm clueless. If I get my bike going and dialed in time I would love to join, would probably be a friday night bonzi out and sunday afternoon bail if the stars align. Thanks for the grand tour offer!! :good:/>/>

Edit(10-20-13): The xr is feeling better than ever. Got the engine back together and all seems to be well, rode ol Betsy 30 miles today, forgot how fun it is! wwoOHHHa!
