sounds like a plan. Could even start out at the same location like the Wickenburg ride and ride east over to table mesa road without getting on the highway at all. Ride some on the gas pipe line trail which is basically flat to table mesa rd.

that sounds interesting, how many miles would you estimate it is from surprise to TMR?

I think culcune might need a hand to purchase a bike ,he is always posting info about new models ,and helping everybody ,he is pretty much furniture in this place ,and can’t be seen riding a plastic scooter in public (well at least with covid he can wear a big mask so nobody recognizes him ),and with all his friends in the biz he can probably wrangle himself a deal on a bike .Its been done for others ,so it’s his turn I figure .Anybody know how to set it up ,I will donate towards it no problem .

User RD1959 has an RX-3 for sale in Monroe, North Carolina. I say we all chip in to pick that up for Culcune, and a little extra for a one-way plane ticket and then have him moto-vlog the ride back to Yuma... http://www.chinariders.net/attachmen...1&d=1602474261

Not sure either. Just a thought to throw out there. Maybe he could chime in and defend himself from our designs.

Gentlemen, thank you! I really appreciate the offer!! I am waiting on a Worker's Comp settlement from the side job I had delivering pizzas when I lived for a relatively brief time in L.A. That should put me on a Lifan X-Pect If all goes as planned, I will ride it out from Kronik Racing outside L.A. to Yuma while filming it with a GoPro. The only thing is I doubt this will happen before November 9th's ride. My longer term goal is to get you guys out this way to ride portions of the Arizona Peace Trail. I know it crosses under I-10 in either La Paz or Mohave counties, so that could be a possible starting point since it would be easiest for you guys to meet up. But I am getting ahead of myself, and thanks for thinking of me!! I wouldn't mind riding an RX3 from NC to Yuma.

Can a former RX3 owner join on my KTM 390 Adv?

I have a motorcycle carrier which could go on the Jeep. I also have a Rubicon Gladiator, so another option for recovery if needed.

I'm very possibly in,
But, going to try to ride a "Champion125" and have no gear except gloves,
a street helmet that's older than the box of dirt Dracula sleeps in,
And a light jacket...
If anything's a problem I can sit it out.
J

Ready to create another "Story Time With J" video! lol

(edit)
I should have said
"I don't own any riding gear, armor, dirt jacket/pants, etc."
I'm coming loaded for bear, gas can, spare tubes/patch kit,
tool kit, spare bulbs, mirrors, first aid kit, as much as I can carry...
And of course, a charged cell phone, and spare battery ( Thanks Tom Mix)

Not to worry, the trails last time weren't that bad. A light jacket, a decent pair of jeans, some gloves and a pair of boots will be just fine. My gloves come off the shelf at Lowe's, they're the reinforced mechanics kind. I'm not even going to bother with my riding boots this year. I have a vented armored jacket I picked up from CycleGear a couple years back, too. I did replace my lid a few months back, but that was just good practice after my toddler decided to see how far he could throw my old one. Looking forward to seeing you there!

I'm a snowbird, living in Chandler in the winter. I plan on getting a bike in AZ when I get there, but I don't think I'd have it ready by the 7th. Looks like a fun trip for you guys.
