Dirt Brike Trip To Mojave Desert
Permalink  
 


Are there any dirt bike riders out there? I will be going out to the Mojave Desert in California, the Dove Spring HOV area on October 8 to October 16. Dove Spring is about 30 miles north of the town of Mojave on highway 14. We have a lot of fun out there.

I used to do some back in the day, but sex, drugs and rock and roll did me in (well two out of the three anyway).  biggrin

Hey man, what can I say...I survived the 60's.

That photo of me in the snow was taken last April; we were in the bright star wilderness area at 7,000 Feet in elevation.

 

Here are some more photos taken last April.

No problem Jim, some people can only remember what they use’s to do. Riding motorcycle, sex, family, friend’s, and single malt scotch what else is there?

Dennis,
  Even though I do not ride, I am an admirer of Harley's. I still hope to some day own one but until then I just dream of them.
  Had a good neighbor that ran a Honda "Thumper" 350 used it for traveling to work during the week and rode dirt on weekends.  What type of Bike are you running? 
Enjoyed the pictures.

Dennis,
  Nice list of bikes, is that 1800 honda's 6 cylinder? I heard that it is a smooth runner but to quiet for me wink  The other two I know they have the spunk to handle what ever is given to them.

  Truth be told...My first love for cycles was the 1972 Honda 350, it wasn't until my tour to Thailand that I started to have a love for Harley's

Richard, The VTX1800R is an 1800cc big V Twin like the Harley. My first bike was a Honda 150 Dream That I got in 1971, I paid $75 for it.

Dennis,
  Mistake from my last post...it was a Honda 750 must be that old age thing confuse  I had heard that Hopnda and other Japenise bikes were following the style of Harley.
  For me I think I will stay looking for the 80 cubic inch Harley V-twin, 1800cc's just seem to much for thease "Old Bones" to handle giggle.gif 

  Keep the rubber on the road my friend, I'll talk to you later on

I did crash one time but I did not get hurt. We had one new guy that broke his arm will bad. He was trying to keep up with the fast guy and driving above his ability. In the photos we were waiting for one of the guy to bring back a truck to load his bike up and take it back to camp.
