Kris 0 Posted April 11, 2010 What kind of fuel range is going to be needed on this ride. I am waiting for another replacement for my leaking IMS tank. I only get about 65 miles out of the stock tank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsfox 0 Posted April 11, 2010 What kind of fuel range is going to be needed on this ride. I am waiting for another replacement for my leaking IMS tank. I only get about 65 miles out of the stock tank. day 2 dash, I think it was under 50 to the first fuel and then about the same to the next....if I drive support truck, should be no issue at all, as I can carry gas and be on the other side of split mountain....

KTMrad 508 Posted April 13, 2010 Details......meet at Stagecoach Trails RV Park at 7:30am Sunday April 18th. Riders meeting at 8am, all riders out on the trail by 8:30am. Lunch in Borrego Springs at your choice of Carlee's or the Taco Shop across the street (on corner of Christmas Circle). www.stagecoachtrails.com 7878 Great Southern Overland Stage Route Julian, CA 92036 (760) 765-3765 $3.00 parking fee at Stagecoach Trails....if you need to use their facilities, they want people to pay for that also. Don't know how many riders, since there's no way to track who is going to show up from Moto Forza and GP Motorcycles. I'm guessing 40 to 50 riders.....hope not more, could be less. GPS Tracks will be provided.....if you want GPS ahead of time, please PM me your e-mail addresses and I'll e-mail them to you on Saturday night. OR, for people not on the site, please use the contact e-mail or phone number in the Contacts on the Main Page, so I can get you the tracks ahead of time. Route will be the same, or similar to Day 2 of Desert Dash. 90 miles maximum to gas, with an emergency gas detour to the Blu Inn for gas (then about 55 miles maximum). OR, may have all riders go to the Blu Inn and alter the route slightly so it's different than the Desert Dash. We will break up into groups, depending on number of riders who show up. May need on the spot volunteers with GPS's to be leaders of different groups. This ride can be done by a novice, but it's not an easy ride for a novice, will be challenging in places/sections. Sand and rocks in places. Finish at Stagecoach Trails. Total ride about 120 miles. Hope that answers it all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulmbowers 236 Posted April 13, 2010 Excellent, PM sent. I'll likely park across the street and the usual meeting spot and ride over the Stagecoach Trails. I'm hoping to lead one group with N2TM as sweep. 146.505 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did some squats yesterday evening at the gym, worked on the bike and all of a sudden, shooting pain in my back after i lifted the xr650l onto the work stand. Taking it easy today. Crossing my fingers that it will be better by sunday! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
