No really you need a tweezers to find the fuel after 90 miles. the tank is 2.4 gal getting 45mpg making me look desperate at 100 miles. Just added 4X4L bottles which can get me out of trouble ~ 45miles. Looked at Gold Camp not sure how they live over there they don't have a gas station that I can tell.

Place your bets.

A big thanks goes out to Cyberdos for helping get back into dirt riding. He had to put up with falling fuel bottles and my general noobness. I had a great time!

Any of you wankers ever ridden out to Swansea? It's a ghost town out near Alamo. I'm pondering a jaunt out there some time soon.

Alamo lake. It's on the other end of the world from you. Go to Wenden and turn North.

I did the last AARG ride out there. Smoking 100mph dirt super highway darn near the whole way. I'd be bored stiff on my 450, but it was a high-speed slice of heaven on the GSA. Good camp spot, too.

F800ekelley · 11-29-2012, 07:22 AM

Anyone up for a ride this sat?

Yes. And Yes again. I'm still planning on a trip or two all the way to Havasu and back, probably sometime after the first of the year.

Unrelated: Would anybody be interested in a bunch of patchable tubes? I have a few I have been meaning to patch and keep as spares but I just don't see that happening. Free to a good home.

swansea is a great ride for a bike like the busa,,,,, no really, its an easy dirt rd but a great destination. you can make a pretty awesome loop continuing from swansea, across the bill williams, to signal and out the big sandy river. good scenery out there and quite a bit of mining history if you look for it.

scottcolbath · 12-07-2012, 05:40 PM

Sounds like Swansea will be a destination during the week for me the last week in December. I'm on vacation and want to get out there.

So pick a day. This is on my "want to ride" list. I bet I can talk Big-E and MonteK into this.

Start with breakfast at your place Scott?
