350thumper 336 Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Here is me guiding the group through the dezert on an awesome adventure stopping to explain how a huge creek flowed thru Here on the middle of summer. Here a pic of me getting some. My bike looped out and did a 180 in air. I'm OK. It was fun. I should of stayed to the left.

ECDave 91 Posted November 7, 2022 The "Badlands" was a tough little wash trail that had everything you could ever want in a ride. Rocks burried in deep deep sand, hill climbs, deep deep sand, knife edge down hill death trail, soft places to fall over and plenty of sunshine! The shot of the hill climb makes me look better than I am!! about 1 second after the picture was taken, my brain told the rest of my body that it could not make the 4 foot vertical climb at the top of the hill. Too much self preservation? Chicken S#%T? I guess I cant say "I need to get used to the new bike" when Darren gets on it and rips it up the hill!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
350thumper 336 Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) In this photo I was trying to do some trick photography for everyone back home on their computer that is injured... I'm not as good as wierdrider . It does show how green the dezert is Here's a pic of just a few dudes going riding relaxing with that feeling of being a little tired and enjoying the peaceful dezert on motorcycles. Mike is seen here with a folding chair to kick back and relax in style .. Zubb style rating 2 points. I guess they used that water tower to fill the trains steam engines back when they weren't using diesel. Edited December 3, 2022 by 350thumper 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SANRider 71 Posted November 7, 2022 Must be something wrong with my camera, because I could have sworn this hill was 3 times higher and twice as steep 😂 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm not mistaken, this was taken shortly after and immediately proceeding Dave finding a couple of those "soft places to fall over". Full disclosure - I found my own soft spot to fall over about 100 yards down the wash. 😂 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bfar33 165 Posted November 7, 2022 If that hill is steeper than it looks I'm not sure I wanna see it in person. 😳 And I'm not sure if we find the soft spots or if they find us. Seems like a type of fate in my experience. The universe insists I remain humbled, especially if I'm on a nice bike haha. (Have some bruised ribs from Saturday to prove it) Looks like an incredible ride! Hope you're not done posting up pictures. I'm borrowing a buddies FE501 this winter and this is the type of stuff I want to do with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
