I'll go 5/25, if I can get my bike running again. The normally reliable Big Blue Ox lost all spark all of a sudden last week. I suspect the ignition stator.

I'd like to join in on this ride. I read the previous years ride reports and this is the kind of riding I like to do. Should be fun to join others who like to do the same.

FWIW, I have put 25K miles on the 06 I bought new. I ride it very hard both on and off road. It still runs very well. The only problems I have had were a dead ignition stator (around 15K), an oil...

I recommend the Heart Lake/Flat Tops area. Go North at Dotsero a couple of miles up the river, turn left on Coffee Pot Road. There are lots of miles of 4x4 roads to explore up there.
