We just returned from a 1900 mile, 10 day cruise of the mountains in SE Oregon and N. Nevada.

The whole report can be seen here: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=591721

Sorry, it's taken almost as long as the ride to post or else I'd put it here too.

No flats, never ran out of fuel, one big crash (no serious injuries), one broken Bell Moto 8 helmet (the bike wasn't even running), wild life galore, hundreds of water crossings and more flowers than we've seen in years.

On day 7 of this ride in Nevada, we bumped into a couple righteous Toyota rigs from this site. Jack was one fellas' name and he pointed to a line on my map that we would never have found without his beta. "Do yourself a favor and ride this 20 mile piece of ridge top 2 track". That was going through our heads as we found the line and explored most of the dead end 'cherry stems' along the way just to be thorough. Thanks very much for that! :)

I've been riding out there for the last 18 years and this was the best trip yet!

I just spent hours reading your thread on ADV... very nice photos and story!!! :victory:

I used to be on ADV rider several years ago before the 4x4s stole my attention. My big pig GS1150 has been neglected & ignored ☹ I need to put some knobbies on that thing and get it into the backcountry (not as rugged as your trip).

Welcome to ExPo Portal. :sombrero:

Great meeting up with you. I think we both scored big time with each others suggested routes. Truly incredible trips.

Thanks for the positives, just picked up a KTM 950s model yesterday. Our ride out there would've been significantly different on twins but we now know what we CAN'T or shouldn't attempt on the big bikes so it should be easy to put together a big bike loop out there this fall.
