Ok, after the Thanksgiving trip, i am one of the many hooked on Death Valley and itching to go back. Also, it was the first time i have got to use my cold weather gear since i have lived on the "Left Coast". I am itching to do more cold weather/high altitude/snow camping. I propose the first...

Ok, we were recently in DV and had some folks giving us some crap for having firewood saying that fires are strictly forbidden and such. On my map is says that GROUND fires are prohibited. I took that as fires on the ground, as to not catch and spread. We brought a steel drum (with feet on...

Well, i finally got the chance to pilot a 450hp Baja Race Car!!! A good friend of mine built this thing from SCRATCH over the last 3 years. Its basically a SCORE Class 1 car with sand tires on it for the dunes! Every single inch of this tube, aluminum sheeting, wiring, everything was done by...

Well, it was one amazing trip, but due to one of the guys who was bringing the trad gear back out at the last minute, we were only able to get one "sport" climb in. It was our first time in J-Tree and sure not to be the last! Its an amazing place with lots to see and do! We also did the...

Continuing our quest to ride as many of the cool dual sport trails in So Cal as possible, my friend Jay and I decided to explore the Black Canyon Trail and the Sutherland Dam this AM! This is a great trail network for any Dual Sport bike and/or Slightly modified 4x4! All of the trails/roads...

And now it begins........ Picked up a new toy yesterday. Found a leftover 06 XR650L Dualsport at a local dealer that a friend of mines marina does all of the watercraft purchases and service through. Got a SMOKING deal on it and it only has 00000.7 miles! :D Anyway, it will be used for long...

Curious what you guys are running for pressure in your tires when fully loaded on paved and fire roads? I got Load D rated 305 MTR's and wondering what others think is a proper PSI? They seem to have a decent "bulge" going on at 34pis and it kinda concerns me for wear. Thoughts? Thanks

Thought i would start this thread to prevent the infamous 36 buns and no hot dogs or 6 cans of propane but no grill scenario. List of what i am bringing (sharing type items): (1) Baja Almanac (1) AAA Baja Map (1) Baja Tourist Guide Book (2) Small bundles of firewood from the grocery store (can...

I lost time and motivation to build my custom unit, so i bit the bullet and bought one, and am very glad i did!!! I usually dont post mods that are "Store Bought" or that are common, but i couldnt resist expressing how damn impressed i am with this thing. I picked it up used from a fellow 80...

Hey Guys I am itching to get back out and do some more exploring in that area that we just scratched the surface on awhile ago. Brian, Mark and I found an awesome place to camp that could comfortably accomodate a decent amount of rigs. Thinking of trying to get a group (would like to limit it...

Hey Guys Been doing some serious thinking lately and i am going to get back into riding/racing dirtbikes. As much as i love my 80, i am thinking i might have to sell it for a double cab toyota pickup truck. Been looking at the tundras, but there is not much aftermarket support for them and...
