KTMrad 508 Posted March 6, 2007 From our High Sierra exploration ride, July 2006. Just What can you do with an Adventure Bike ?? Mad Mike on his R1200GS, up in the High Sierra at about 10,000 feet. My friend Dale helping Mike get through the rocks.... Gotta love single track on an Adventure Bike !! I'm on the 950 here....... Mad Mike continuing on the loooong downhill section Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KTMrad 508 Posted March 6, 2007 A washed out canyon, on the way into the White Mountains near Bishop, CA., from July 2006. This was perhaps the most difficult riding I've done so far on the 950..... Dale helping me out....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandiegoland 0 Posted March 6, 2007 One more for the "Beasts"... When I didn't know any better... Deep in the Dulzura "pink gate" area... end of the road! Old 1875 Stage Route northeast of Barrett Junction. Pre-skidplate. First bottoming out on the DL650. Lucky spot to hit. Lunar Crater, NV. The packmule takes 2UP to 11,800 feet on Engineers Pass in CO. Riding the snowmelt the whole way up was like riding in a little stream at times. NW Nevada. A deep little nasty that was the end of the road for all 2WDs... and for that matter, all but one 4WD we saw beyond that point. Lisa scavanged us up a 2x6 that I am lining up on.

KTMrad 508 Posted March 6, 2007 Now, I understand challenge is fun!! but, it seems like extreme challenge to me on your adventure big bike... is this also fun?? Yep....sometimes we get our ass kicked, but always afterwards we say, "wow, that was awesome" !! To me, it's overcoming the challenge. I always look back at these tough rides with nothing but great memories. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brett 0 Posted March 7, 2007 Brett and I rode a Nasty trail called the John Bull trail in Big Bear. Brett is Crazy when it comes to Gnarly trails Toona God that's funny!You know, before you posted I was looking at those photos, but decided they didn't compare to "Radical-Rad". That was a great trip! I remember mustering up the courage for that vertical drop. We regretted not taking pictures of the REALLY TOUGH STUFF , but it's indelibly imprinted in my mind. I wanna go back, dude ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
