Oracle 195 Posted September 29, 2019 8 hours ago, SaMaKi said: I may be able to make it as I may have the day off tomorrow! How steep and severe are we talking? Does it require some serious skills on a 1290? Any route, plan or trails I can look up to see how hard they are? There are sections of the Pinyon trail that will be no fun at all on a 1290. Lots of sand, some steep rutted hills, rocky technical sections. Save this for another day when you are not trying to keep up with good riders on small bikes, just my advise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oracle 195 Posted September 29, 2019 BTW, guys, don't wait for me...I've got my own thing going. Was just mentioning that I'd be out there and we might run into each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have looked up Pinyon Trail and the squeeze + the heart attack hill definitely looked challenging. I was hoping to meet with a few of you guys to give me a little more details and then see if I was gonna follow or turn around. I guess I’ll just turn around.

Took riverside dr when I heard a bike around but didn’t see anybody. If I had, I would’ve probably pulled over just to say hi and make it up to my riding all the way up there for nothing. I got there at 6:45 and left at around 7:20. Would’ve been nice to at least say hi to a few of you. Anyhow....next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This ride has a lot of mountain (CDP), forest (CNF), and dez (ABSDP) action. There's 3 gas stations and 4 food places , . We also have a Chase truck on call and I have a sweet new hydration system . Pokey , what's the wiring issue? I only fix motorcycles for a living. Maybe I can help. Sorry was dealing with the big family issues. A molex for the lights is damaged. 6 wires Wires broke right at the crimp, so it will just take time to pin everything out and install a new molex. Thanks for the offer, I can handle the wiring, its just finding the time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
