12-28-12 BIG or SMALL BIKE BOMB RUN 2

Meet in Congress 9:00 am Sat. Jan. 5th, very cold:eek1:eek1. Across to Parker & time permitting around the Dam & ride powerline rd. over to 95. Down to Vidal Junc. 62 back to Parker & home. Fast dirt, some slab. Big bike, little bike who cares, just for fun

Quick question. How far from Parker to Prescott? Is there dirt roads all the way?

Will try & describe. Milage to Parker I would guess about 120? Overall milage for the route I had in mind maybe 325? The recent snow & rain will require more pavement. Head south through Yarnell instead of Camp Wood Rd to Bagdad as the mud gets excessive quickly. Dirt, sand, rocks & sand washes almost all the way from Alamo Rd & 93 to Parker. Hope this answers a bit.

120 miles is about as far as I can go without fueling. Is there a gas stop in between?

Probably 80 max between gas stops. I would tell you to ride your Hodaka but I sold my 71 Super Rat 2 years ago.

Wow... Nice Super Rat...
Those were the days "Hodaka's" of all sizes. My old Combat Wombat would be sucking air at 80 miles on a moderate enduro. The Thunder Dog could keep chug'n for about 100 mile of most any off-road terrain.
Sounds like a good ride, Have fun !

I'd say its time for a chain!

If it would have had a chain I would of kept it

Very cool. I had mine when I was a kid. I am thinking about going on the ride to Parker. I need to see if I can rearrange some things

Tom, how fast do you plan to run the dirt roads? I did a trip with a couple of KTM's out to sheeps crossing and 70 + MPH is above my comfort and talent level right now.

I am betting your a better/faster rider than I. I like to keep moving at a pace I can have fun & not kill myself. PS I don't own a KTM so that knocks off about 20 MPH

Tom, I am going to pass on this trip. Couldn't re-arrange my plans for Friday so I took a little trip today. New River to Table Mesa rd/ FR 41 to FR 24 back through Cave Creek. Froze my butt off on any strech over 40 MPH

Wind chill of 13 degrees here this am. Will go another day:eek1

Rescheduled to Sat. Jan. 5th.

New date Sat. Jan. 5th. Same starting spot, same time.

Any takers?

Sign up today. Huge discounts for those signing up early

Tom where do you meet in congress? I haven't been there but I can't imagine it's too big

Gas station, intersection 89 & 71.

Is the ride still on?
