DVDAZE 2015 Death Valley Daze Jan 29-Feb 1

Where is it? Route? I'm always up for new stuff, but have zero interest in pavement as I'll be on the small bike.

It's north and east of Furnace Creek.

There are a lot of 4wd and off road events based there, I'd like to go see what all the hubbub is about.

It's only about a 220 mile round trip, but that's straight from Google and (I think) on pavement. I know there are a bunch of dirt roads there, I'll do more research in the next couple of weeks, but I'm planning on rocking the 800.

I'm not a dirt bike purist, I like riding big, heavy bikes where they shouldn't go.

I mean, I can ride smaller bikes off road, but so can everybody else.

Cool, keep me updated.

And remember who you're talking to re: big bikes and where they shouldn't go.

I'm just more lazy these days to be frank, and am tired of bending wheels and breaking other parts on the pig.

Coupon Code for 10% off ..... Sssshhhhh! NE24HR I heard about it on facebook. And so did you!

Hah - Didn't I already say. I was gonna leave her at the resort? Don't worry plenty of "us" time.

Thank you very much for the info! Making reservations ASAP for 2016.

Yer all a bunch of cards gonna really miss ya'll in 2015 at all the different non-events.

The 950 is almost ready, just some assembly required...

The little bike is ready.

The 640 is always ready!

Stu, Gillafunk and I plan to attend. I would be interested in doing a ride to Goldfield. According to a recent post in the Saline Valley forum there are 3 ways to get there. Some sandier than the others

Golar wash 2012

I want some of that so bad... looks like fun. Can't wait. I changed my schedule so I should be arriving Wednesday afternoon now.

That has been graded as of March. A mini van can go through it now.

NPS spoils all the fun... but a good storm will fix that!

another thread someone has said the opposite.

well, I guess we'll all see when we see it.

Seeing that we can see... See what I did there?

I'll have to get some smoked lens's for my goggles so not to be blinded by you guys.

don't be skeered

Actually in some cases it's the mining companies The rise in gold prices have made it lucrative for some of the claims to be reactivated. Pleasant Canyon was graded last time I went up it a few years ago. Was a bummer

Buuuurp

I went through Goler last weekend. A minivan cannot make it but it's not terrible - stockish jeeps went right up it. It's just loose gravel/sand leading to the rock so keep your momentum and don't fishtail into it sideways like when I blitzed it.

I rode it in early March 2014 (must have been after it was graded) and didn't even notice / couldn't tell where the steps should have been.



We also hit snow/ice/soupy mud on Hunter Mtn but it was a fun challenge and passable - recommended!
