RG you never dropped your KTM ridding with me last year, what happened?
Looks like a great reminder why I am taking the Husky this trip
Will be riding Tincup, Napoleon Pass, Cumberland Pass, Alpine Tunnel, Hancock Pass, Tomichi Pass and Grizzly Lake on Friday the 18th!!! Thanks for sharing the video.
The Mexican station across from Del Rio (and others) were not limited by the USA limit of 50,000 watts of power, so their signal could be heard a looong way aways.
We get this little electrical coop magazine each month that occasionally has a pretty cool story in it. Here's one about the old border radio days.

I've heard that people all over the US could listen - but only at night. The radio waves would "skip" and carry from coast to coast... and beyond.
_RG_ - Is there an old railroad tunnel up there by any chance?
You guys need to ride some single track around there......its crazy!!
Man, that video was exhausting to watch. Thanks for sharing.
A buddy and I did the dirt/rock up to Tincup about 2 years ago. Fully loaded with everything including camping gear. It was in the fog and if I'd seen the dropoff I'd have probably turned around. As it was, we could fly along blind and happy. By the time we got around to Lake City, we were so tired we rented Razors and did Engineer, Cinnamon, and the others in that area the next day. One of the greatest single days we had,...we could drift and bang the Razors into mountainsides without a care in the world. Felt like Rally drivers.
