The new steel horse... KTM 1.0

Wow, what was up with the Harley on that muddy road?

I have a cheap bike rack too, works pretty well, but it's a PITA getting the bike up onto it because the reciever is so high and the ramp is so short.

FYI, T.Low, the rack could be tightened up by welding beads onto the tube and grinding them down so they *just* fit into the reciever. I haven't done it to my rack yet, but I have done it to a loose drop hitch and it worked well.

Great idea, thanks.

I think it is there to remind us that sometimes we may overthink what our minimum equipments requirements really are.

They were a group of Swedes out for a ride. There had been some rain in the area and the wash was flooded. Usually it's no big deal.

Can't argue with that.

Were they caught in front of it and had to get out. Or they just decided to Press On Regardless?

Got a little Moab in...

Sweet!

Have you been hauling it on the back of the rover all week?

I actually left it in Moab while I went to the San Juans and Monument Valley... I'll be back in Moab tomorrow for a quick ride before I head to Escalante, Utah for the rest of the month.

Hooked up with Aaron in Moab last week and he helped me scout locations for my National Geographic shoot.

Castle Valley Overlook.

This is Suzy. She is the matriarch of one of the nine families that actually lives in Monument Valley. She is 96 years old, weaves every day and hasn't been into town in over 5 years.​

Nice.

Can you tell us more about the work for NatGeo?

 

[sinuhexavier]

It's just a job... A good one... But still just a job...

I'm talking about TIGHT woods and technical singletrack. Not gonna happen on a 640/950 unless you're just a total savage. I know I couldn't pilot my XR650R 1/2 the places we take our smaller woods bikes.

Nice ride report, I love those rides, our moto, no one dies! At the end of the weekend if we all make it out, its all good!!!:victory::bike_rider:
