You're right. It's snowing right now.

Looking at the map there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of choices for rides staying on the pavement.

Yeah it is limited on the street, we have many more choices with the back unpaved roads. Mid Feb - April or Oct-Nov is better for strictly street as you can loop over to Big Pine on 395 or down to Valley of Fire or Red Rocks near Vegas. Of course we'd love to see you anyway Ray.

Damn it! I'll be busy with a new job but I could sure use a mid winter ride.

New job? How come all the guys who retire keep working when they should be riding....

You have a couple bikes that would enjoy Death Valley.

I have failed as a counselor, must be the poor example I have set over the past 14 years of retired bliss! JSNS

John, you didn't fail, I just stumbled a little. The job didn't work out ( interfered with my life, motorcycle school and riding schedule, and they thought I should come to work 5 days a week WTF? ), so I'm in the planning stage to make this event, a Moab ride with other midwesterners in April, or YFO in September.

 

[FJRay]

So is anybody else bringing street bikes??

If I had the bucks I would buy one of the many KLR's on Craigslist and do the ride and sell it when I got back.

Define suitable?

As of now you are the lone street rider thinking about showing up.

Bunch of porch pooch's around here Ray

If the weather cooperates we may show up. I'll make an extra effort if Ray shows!

You might have to go way south to get west.

I really wanted to do this, but managment reminded me that we're going skiing at Whistler that weekend. You all have fun.

...and it doesn't have a 'magic button' either!

Titus Canyon is not to be missed. Have been on Saline Valley Road multiple times. Both North and South Pass might have snow/ice this time of year so rider beware. I'll see if I can get a trailer to haul my KLR650 down. Sounds like a good time.

 

[FJRay]

Looking better for me. My daughter in Vegas wants to go for a ride so if she can get a couple days off during the week I'll probably load up the White Whale or the FJR and head down. will know for sure this weekend.

Book your room and come on down. Hunter Mountain back in 2011

Cool Ray, keep us posted. Here's a nice warm picture.

 

[FJRay]

Looks like I'm in. Will call and book a room in the morning. Now I need to check bearings and brakes on the trailer and decide which bike to bring. Be there on the 23rd.

In for 3 nights,see you all on the 23rd!
