    Does anyone in Utah county or near AF Canyon have an impact gun they could help a brother out? I'm cashed out on this build and need to take off the clutch basket for a stretched cam chain.
    Two two four-730-two right two four.

    Beers on me!

    Well we did a tour around Stansbury Island. Not too much to see...stopped for a cold beverage and pizza at the Dead Dog Saloon in Grantsville. After that we meandered south to the Pony Express Trail, had a photo op at Simpson Springs, then blazed home. Stopping at 5-Mile Pass for a little MX before being pulled over for speeding, no ticket:deal, VERY nice Sheriff :D.

    Now it's time to plan next weekend :wings:ricky

    Did you ride a loop around Stansbury Island? I've ridden up the west side, but the signs kinda discouraged me from pressing on, so I turned back south and rode farther west.

    Did you take the 1190 or the 530? I'm out of the country for the next 10 days, but would like to join in on a future big bike ride.

    The plan was to ride the entire island and cut across the causeway to Black Mountains and New Foundland. NO luck though. The signs and the BIG iron gate with camera was deterrent enough for us. We rode back to the trail area near the fork and rode east but all the trails ended. We didn't find a trail that circled the island.

    From Delle, head west and there are roads that follow the Cedar Mtn Wilderness south to WhiteRocks... Finding the roads and navigating is the fun part. Mostly dirt roads, but there's some more playful stuff in there.

    Cross off the bucket list while you can....gates with cameras are the newest form of censorship.

    New bike is out of "break-in" period and threatens to rip my arms off. A lot lighter (and hence faster!) than the Vstrom. Did a little tour Sunday.

    FYI: SLC/Yosemite/Sequoia/PCH/San Diego tour July 17-19 if you plan that far ahead. 99% street.

    Nice looking bike. I don't see many of these out there.

    A buddy and I went out the short PE section from 5 mile to Faust and then up Johnsons so he could play with the suspension on his new Triumph Explorer on Sunday. Didn't see any other riders out, was perfectly good weather. :evil

    It'll be getting 50/50 knobbies once the stock tires are through.

    Kev, wow it has the Ninja engine it, no wonder it pulls so hard. Pretty cool / congrats man!

    Walrus, are there cameras on those gates now you're saying?
