Default Yay first ride report!

Not as exciting as deej's, him being in a place with...green things? What are those called? Trees I think?

Just some desert behind my house with my broham. All that beautiful scenery in the pictures is going to be turned into housing, it's actually quite sad...

On top of a giant sand pile they use for housing foundation. The mountain way in the back is sloan canyon, it has Petroglyphs dating back ~3000 B.C

Hint: Don't ride on the side of a sand hill with a supermoto. You WILL get stuck

All in all a fun ride, only my brother's second time out in the desert. No one got hurt! And he only stalled once, pretty good since we even tackled sugar sand. Hopefully the next ride I can mount the go-pro and follow the power line road seen in the pictures above and get some video! The go pro doesn't take very good pictures at a distance


One more for good measure

It is indeed, riding by yourself is never as fun!

Thanks! It's even better now that I fixed the oil leak that coated my engine with grime. Turns out when I put the big bore kit on 5? months ago, my valve cover gasket got pinched in the front of the motor and oil was spewing out the front

You guys are all making me jealous with these pictures! Here in Northern Ontario we still have 6 feet of snow plus more coming, and my bike is still in pieces in my garage! Anyways great picture bud I would love to have desserts like this in Canada!
