What about mid nov similar to last year. This summer heat just doesn't want to let up yet.

TJ picked up his plane tickets yesterday for the 7th. I think that Culcune and I are both well set up for then, too (but I certainly wouldn't presume to speak for Culcune). More middle of the month won't work for me since it looks like I have to go back east and smooth some things out with my rental properties and I want to be back in time for Thanksgiving.

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.

Nov 7th sounds good for me.

Your drone footage of pipeline trail was cool. I think your drone setup would work out well.

I believe that was Nick Corona. I, sadly, don't have a drone... :(

You guys want to meet at the same location on Nov 7th 2020?

Emerikol 10-12-2020 11:03 PM

Same location is just fine for TJ and I. I think Culcune is going to be borrowing my Hawk. So far it's looking like TJ will be on the DR, Culcune will be borrowing my Hawk, and I'll be rocking out with the Ural. What time should we plan to meet? If we go earlier in the morning, we'll be able to do the ride and get lunch before splitting up and heading back to our respective hidey-holes.

Bring it on! The more the merrier!

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.

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. :ohno: 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.

How about the meeting up window would be from 8M TO 9AM. Leave at 9:15am

That should be fine for us.
