Training for the Desert 100
Roger and I hammered ourselves over about 70 miles of desert riding yesterday to help train for out upcoming race. That's about a zillion whoops, little jumps, and lots of sand. I've got blisters but other than that we both feel great.
Roger and Hannibal tearing up the sand. I rode his bike yesterday and as fast as my YZ400F is, his KX450 will eat it's lunch. Roger demonstrating a landing technique he accidently discovered at the base of an especially steep dune. The bikes have to rest sometimes. Roger The Racer. Roger and Hannibal are the speck towards the center of the picture. I took this from the top of a dune to show some perspective of the desert.

What mirror are you using, Doc? Do you have one, or two mirrors?

Its the one that came with the Tusk kit. An Acerbis, I think. Even though it's mounted under the handlebar it works very well! You look back between your side and arm. Sounds awkward but really isn't. If I used the bike more on the road I'd get a Spudmount for my mirror.

Thanks for the reply, Doc. I thought it might be that mirror. Is it an actual Acerbis mirror, or the Tusk version of said mirror? Did you mount one, or two of the mirrors?
