Great ride, great pics. You're undermining my reasons for disliking nevada. . . .

Do you put HD tubes in the 17" tires? Are 17s more or less susceptible to flats?
Holy cow - great pix!
Most Excellent. :ride
When the end of the world comes, I`m hanging out with you guys. I was showing someone your pictures and rantng about my lack of adventures, all they could say was "don`t they work?"
Can`t wait to see what you set up for Fall trips.
:applause Thanks, Woodschick! :cool
This was a long report and the photos weren't as good as some others I've done. Don't know what happened to the quality, but it could have something to do with me not knowing crap about my camera and not wearing my glasses when riding. I also had some issues when downloading them to the hosting sight. At any rate, I'd like to thank everyone for wading through the endless photos You guys are tough!

The beauty of the area really comes through though in your pictures- I always appreciate pictures that show a great trip, they don't need to be perfect masterpieces.
I probably missed this earlier on, but do you guys use maps, or gps, or homing pigeons or animal magnetism to roam around and find your way back at the end of the day or the end of the trip?

(trying to figure out when I can head to nevada for 5 or so days of wandering around)
Thanks! It ain't Canada, but it's still pretty cool :cool
:laughing Yeah, the end of the world doesn't scare me much. Our off-road- worthy bikes are always pepared for a quick escape, as is the Pleasure Palace van. :nerd
We both work, but we've kind of maneuvered our lives into a postion that allows fun trips. Being child-free makes it a lot easier :teeth It also helps that we are both on the same page when it comes to what we like to do in our spare time. The only discussion beforehand is in regards to whether it'll be the big bikes like on this trip, the plated dirtbikes for dirty dualsporting or the 2-strokes on trails :ride I refer to this as being well-rounded with diverse hobbies :laughing
What I do for a living doesn't really matter to me. It helps that I really enjoy my job, but it's only a means to an end, as my "real" life happens outside of work hours. Most important to me is time off and having enough money to ride my bikes. I'll never be rich with this attitude (well, maybe we would be if we quit riding...) and I have heard the whispers of "lack of ambition" and "wasted potential" in regards to how I live my life, but I don't think it's coincidence that I happen to be the happiest person I know arty Yeah, we'll probably be living on aluminum cans when we get old, but we'll have a ton of good memories to feast on. Can't remember where I saw it, but I like the saying "When your life flashes before you, make sure you've got something good to watch."
The pleasure was all mine, flying hun!

I love to hear that people are still out there using a compass and map. Often the right tool for the job, IMHO (but then I have a degree in geography, so what would you expect).
I do like a nice frosting of snow, now you've got me thinking. . . .
