Welcome to the Two Wheeled Texans community! 
Feel free to hang out and lurk as long as you like. However, we would like to encourage you to 
After several years of riding into BBRSP and being very restricted we spent last weekend actually touring around.
I thought this info may be helpful to all wanting to go and visit.
The place to start is at the visitor center at Sauceda, the main Ranch HQ.
We met the Park Superintendant there, a very nice guy that I had previously traded emails with,and learned all about the new policies.
The recent change in Public Use Plan now allows street legal M/C access everywhere all other legal vehicles could previously go. Certainly not before time.
Before you get out the Google Earth and MapSource software and salivate all over the keyboard at the immense number of visible trails/dirt roads in the Park be advised that many of the original Ranch roads are now closed to all vehicles and are hiking trails only. That means no M/C on the hiking trails.
The only map that really means anything in BBRSP is the one they will give you at Sauceda.
When you get to Sauceda you'll need to pay your $3.00 daily fee and also get a Special Use Permit, at no extra charge, that lets you travel the primitive roads and 4 wheel drive roads, in addition to the general access roads.
The map they have will show you where the hiking trail heads are although when you get there they may not be marked. Do not ride on the hiking trails!
Hiking trails are any one that is shown as a single dashed line.
Richard has documented a ride they did and it turns out to be the only loop of any consequense in the Park. You'll find it under "King Kong Hill"
It's a great trail and well worth the ride.
All the other primitive roads end at a hiking trail head. There are two trail heads in the Solitario and the trail dead ends at both.
If you call ahead you can arrange a lunch at the bunkhouse.
The nearest gas is about 35 miles away in Presidio. The only entrance to the park is off Casa Piedra Rd off Hwy 170 from the South or Hwy 169 from Marfa in the North. None of the roads, including the road to Sauceda are paved. It's very remote but well worth the effort to get there.
One of our group flies his private plane in from Albuquerque. The BBRSP has a paved airstrip. The rest of us just ride in!
Go check it out and be sure to stop at Sauceda and visit. Everyone there is very friendly and happy to see more of the public visiting the greatest State Park in Texas.
