I am painfully jealous of you guys. I was stuck in Phoenix on a work trip I did not want to go on, and this is the first I've seen of the trip. Winter is very slow for us and I could have gotten the day off easily had I been in town. I even have six days off I have to use-or-lose by the end...

Greg, it's great to see you tackling your "Dream DR650" projects this winter. I do foresee one big problem though... how will the rest of us keep up with this 725cc monster? Jared

That really sums up what I'll remember most about the trip... the speed of travel! I think you need to lay off the Rockstars for breakfast! I'm already looking forward to a return trip in the spring, and possibly a trip to St. George sometime the new year. Jared

Day 3: Getting up on day three was the most difficult - not because of the weather or knowing it would require packing up our camp, but because we were so SORE! We needed to get an early start, because it would be our last day and we had to be back in time to break camp and drive home. It...

All in all, we'd done a 150 mile ride together and then I had done a 20 mile solo that day. It was probably triple the amount of miles I had ever logged in the dirt in a single day, and I was incredibly sore and tired. But, what a day! As I waited for sleep to come, I could not stop wondering...

Day 2: Fortunately, our prayers were answered and we got up Saturday morning to much fairer weather. Everything was still wet from the relentless rains from yesterday, but the skies had partially cleared and the rain was no longer falling. Today was going to be our big, full day on the bikes...

Okay, okay. I'll get off my sore, ruined butt and try to put into words something that can't really be described in words. I'll be borrowing heavily from Greg's photos, as I only managed to snap 7 photos on my BlackBerry. Day 1: We arrived at Canyonlands Campground at 12:10PM and were...

So...? Any fatalities?

Well... we're here! I would just like to preface the story of our adventure by stating this... Never before today have I been on a motorcycle looking like I just climbed out of a swimming pool with my gear on. Holy mother of monsoon rainfall! :eek2: More to come...

I found the answer on this. The E model you have does put out 200W, but the K model I have only puts out 150W. Bummer! Jared

Tent site at Canyonlands it is then. I think we can squeeze two vehicles in, if not I can find a place to ditch the truck most likely. I'll be in a more "budget conscious" tent on the ground. We can just show up I'm sure. Noon works for me. That puts me hitting the road at 7am with time...

So you are bringing the WRR? I figured you'd bring the 250F, but I'm sure the newness of the 250R is eating at you! I'm almost as excited to see that thing in action as you are. I'll be stopping at Rocky Mountain ATV on the way down to pick up a some new grips, a smaller front sprocket, and...

This is getting close! I spent all last night going over the bike. I changed all the fluids, lubed everything I could think of, looked for loose bolts, etc. I also installed the skidplate, and the IMS 4 gallon tank which came with the bike. The tank looked just awful... having started as...

Thanks much for the info! It's quickly becoming set in stone for this coming weekend... October 22-24th. Can you swing it on short notice? It would be fun to have 3-5 of us! Jared

I don't think I can stay through Monday. I just took Thu-Fri off last week for a Moab trip and will be taking off this Friday as well. I must be going through some kind of awesome phase, going to Moab two weekends in a row! I am still running the stock tank but the bike came with a used...

While I don't fit squarely into either of these categories, I'm certainly not a ballsy, pro-level rider either. The helmet cam youtube videos I've watched certainly look pretty hairy! Jared

My two days of riding in St. George with no idea where to ride totally sucked. Just miles and miles of endless, small desert hills. I would love to see what trails Dixie has to offer. You ought to plan/host a ride a little later into the winter months when it's too darn cold to ride up north...

I should probably stick around for my kids on Halloween, and I have a thing on Nov 6th. But, I am free this upcoming weekend, Oct 22-24th, which is Friday thru Monday. Any takers? Jared

I wanted to start a thread to toss out ideas for the next big ride. I've missed the last couple (meaning I've never made one yet!) and wanted to get things rolling for another trip before it gets too cold. I'd say we have around three weeks max to make this happen, or we're looking at the...

We're heading down in a few hours so will be wheeling Thursday thru Sunday morning. We're open to whatever runs from Golden Spike to easy stuff and don't have a group to hang with. Give us a call at 801 - 920 - three zero four four. Hope to see somebody there! Jared
