I have everything I would need packed on the bike but larger bags are in my future for sure. I really want to go on this and bust my moto camping cherry, but I am moving my dad into a memory care facility on Saturday afternoon. Probably not good to ride when my thoughts and emotions are scattered all over the place. Dementia is a horrible disease. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wierdrider 187 Posted June 6, 2019 I’m real sorry, my dad had dementia also. It is horrible! If there’s anything I can do, please feel free to reach out. 🙏🏻 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tntmo 882 Posted June 6, 2019 I might be able to pull this off. Something a fat bike (Super Tenere) should do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oracle 195 Posted June 7, 2019 OK, guys, we are a go. Please be at my house around 1:30 to 1:45. I've PM'd my address to those that needed it. For those driving a cage, the gate code is #5150. For those riding, there is a horse access opening to the left of the gate you can just ride through. There are a lot of horses in my neighborhood....and horse people are weird...they don't like anything but horses and the especially don't like hoodilums on murder cycles...so easy on the braaaps as you come through the 'hood. We'll be KSU at 2. It would be nice if everyone had a full tank, or at least enough to make it 70 miles, which will get us to Anza. If not, no biggie, we'll stop in town and top off. The route from Ramona to Anza is at least 60% dirt. When we get to Anza, we'll fill up again, grab some beer/food/water...whatever we need. From Anza it's an easy 10 miles of pavement east to another 5 miles or so of graded fire road up to the top of Santa Rosa. The elevation is over 8000 feet so keep that in mind. Any questions, hit me up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I once saw a stack of three rotopax bungeed to the back of a bike. Yep. I ruined a perfectly good Belstaff jacket back in the day doing that. I want to try one of these rides on my 500 using a backpack. See if this could work or would it be too much weight on the shoulders /top heavy, etc......
