NAFO 2016 Official Thread

Yes Don I did see that on street view.

Detroit to Durango is a tad over 1600 miles one way - day and a half each way - maybe I can shame FJRFarrier into some sort of twisted IBR ride out and back...

 

[HotRodZilla]

That's what I do every time you dorks convince me to go east and get rained on. An IBR day and a shorter day. Easy peasy!!

Got this listed on my calendar at work. Planning on seeing Durango again; in 1993, it was covered in snow, but that was the point. Rode the Million Dollar Highway to ski in Telluride for one day, and probably shit myself four times driving back on it -- with a sleeping family, in the snow, well after dark.

Just to clarify, and if I can read past all the bullshit in this thread....

NAFO 2016

JULY 28-31 2016

DURANGO, COLORADO

HOTEL (SCENE OF THE CRIME) STILL PENDING

Sum it up?

I'm in. Not that it matters...

 

[HotRodZilla]

Yes, Erixun...That's it.

 

[Cruzin]

I know why the train guy wants Durango

The Moki Dugway, a little bit of dirt riding, is within reach of Durango too.

Day ride to Moki

wrong place in this picture

Moki Dugway info

That is a neat road, I found that on my way to NM in 2008

1925mi for me, and that's all slab. The trailering sounds better every time I think about Kansas and crossing the plains.

hmmmm

https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/165403-nafo-2016-official-thread/page-1 Yo erixun, since BeemerDonS is the "Brains" and HotRodZilla is the "Brawn": I will move all pertinent information required for booking NAFO to the very first page of this thread under Post #5.

As "El Pendejo Grande" develops NAFO more, it'll be moved to #5 on Page One. Also after first of the year I'll start a New NAFO Header for an Attendance List that I will maintain, so a participant can easily see which of his Weirdo FJR Forum Friends will be in Durango Colorado ese! JSNS!

Plan A would be to trailer out Ray & my bike and save the tires on the bikes for the tasty bits.

I've already decided to put the South Africa trip on hold for another year so that I can do CFR, the Red Lodge Rendezvous and NAFO. Along with the dirt bike stuff here in Ontario it is going to be a busy riding season in 2016.

 

[Top_Speed1]

Retirement must be nice! All kidding aside, enjoy it while you still can. Heck, book a few more even.

 

[extrememarine]

I'm torn now. Seeing some of the off road pictures makes me want to trailer the DRZ out, but the vacation bank is not that robust.

But it will be a BB1500 out and back.

That's what I do every time you dorks convince me to go east and get rained on. An IBR day and a shorter day. Easy peasy!!

 

[stealth1]

Hmmm. Google shows fastest route to Durango ts 6 hrs 54 min.

With some creative road choices I should be able to stretch that to 14 hrs.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.......................... stop it you're killing me.

I was wondering how long it would take someone to catch that. HAHA! Your right on top of it there today Yamafitter.

 

[PapaUtah]

"Brains" and "Brawn"....too damn funny...more like Chazz Michael Michaels and Jimmy MacElroy...

 

[LittleJon]

1885 miles for me. I would love to make this, but I don't see it happening this time around. Unless I, or Joe, wins the lottery. In which case, I will off the same thing that he did. Double our odds...

Jon, I have this beauty "just sitting" in my side yard. 28ft, w tie down cleats, should easily be enough room for 6 bikes plus gear!

....We could share the diesel-fuel tab; out there n back!?

 

[LittleJon]

Oh, man. I'm going to have to do some thinking/talking. It's not the miles in the saddle that would be the issue. Just the time. It wouldn't feel right to burn a week+ of vacation time without the family. But maybe... just maybe.... I don't think I'd have to twist Mel's arm to take a trip to Colorado. There may be other factors that I'm not seeing just yet. I'll float it out now. Lots of time to plan.

 

[LittleJon]

Guess I should have talked to the boss first. I told her where and when....

She said:

"Can we go!?!"

I think she'll be spending the evening looking for camping spots en route.

So I guess I'm a strong maybe.
