I have the IMS 4 gallon tank on my DRZ and I am getting 225 miles out of it. What tanks are you looking at?
As for tires I just put a Dunlop D606 on the back and a Pirelli XCHM up front. I have 550 Baja miles on the tires so far with some street and they are hooking up pretty good in the loose...
I'm booked. The Suite for 3 days is cheaper than pulling my toy hauler up there :yahoo:
Brad/Don - I may be taking a trip up there for a weekend before March so if you want me to do any intel gathering let me know.
I'm in. I will book something as soon as I can decide if I am taking the toy hauler or getting a room.
Anyone else going to bring a trailer and stay in the rv park?
Ocotillo Wells to San Felipe and back :bike:
My father in law has a house in Baja that we have been going to for years. We have always wanted to ride there but never had the right bikes to pull it off. After a few months of planning we were able to finally make it happen.

Now go look at your rims and swingarm. I did ACH a few weeks ago and there was a strech of newly oiled pavement. It took me 3 hours of scrubbing to get that oil off my bike :angry:
Awesome report. I'm bummed about missing the ride today.
If you have time go watch the Baja race.We go every year :clapping:
Heres my boy at the Baja 500 in March trying to help pit
What is the date of your day two ride? That is one of my favorite loops around here and if possible I may try to join you. I have a few sick days I need to burn anyway ;)
Feedback for your day 2 from /Irvine to Frazier Park. This will keep you off the freeway and be alot more fun and scenic.

A good lunch stop is the Rock Inn before Frazier Park

I will be working the show with my wife again this year. I won't make the ride in with you all but I will see you there :D
Bike Bandit will give you your ticket price back with a gift card.

I've never stayed in the park but I have stayed at the Stagecoach Casino in Beatty just outside of DV. Nothing fancy and alot cheaper than 400 bucks.

I cant make the ride but here is the address of the starbucks in Redlands. You will want to take the 15 to the 10 and exit Orange St.

Glad to hear it won't be one of your normal "squeezing by a bus" or "Catching a falling FJR" rides :P
I will be out of town and can't make it but hope you have a nice ride anyway. I was up there yesterday and the weather was perfect.
I found a 3.9 gallon IMS tank for my DRZ on Ebay for 100 bucks. I can easily go 180-200 miles. It's not pretty but it does its job and protects my radiators. I had to fork out 250 for the 3 gallon tank for my wifes KLX. Haven't tested the range yet but I'm hoping for at least 150 miles.
