I may have a spare DR650 available...
Would be perfect, how much would you want to rent it?

I have a friend with a KTM200 2 stroke wondering about this trip. Would not be the ideal bike but is it workable for this ride? Plated.
Tagging a 300 is easy, if you have any questions holler.I took my KDX220 in 2015 and had a blast. Vinny and I trailered to the east side of the NP and rode RR, Glenn Springs, Black Gap and back to RR. You can leave a truck/trailer in just about any parking lot in the park to avoid the long pavement sections.
I may have the 300 tagged in time.
Well the good thing is I got my bike fixed. The bad is I won't know my work schedule until mid march. I'm gonna pray to the motorcycle gods.
I'm afraid to ask how much it cost. As for the work, it will be there when you get back.

On another note - Triumph Tiger 800 XCX or Suzuki DRZ400?
If anyone is planning a ride on Pinto Canyon Road, I am in.
Looking forward to this, it will be my first time out there on the dirt!
Does anyone know anything about the Rancho Topango Campgrounds?
Yep, I've camped there and am doing so this trip. Nice - general campground set up with hot water showers and restrooms. Nice fire ring area.
I took off to go this year, but I've never camped off a bike and I don't even have everything, All I have is a bike and a tent. Still don't have bags or anything to carry anything with. Thought about trailering the bike this year. That way I can take what ever I think I may need and if something happens and I mess up the bike I can get it home.
The other thing I'm worried about is tires. I don't know how the stock tires will be off road. Guess I wont know until I take it off road. Maybe tomorrow.
Guess I need to get a hitch on the car.
Thanks. I'm still awaiting a callback from Study Butte, but there are options. Chisos Mining Co. has one big room left for $129/night (sleeps 4 with one king size and a futon) and Retro Rents has several options from $85 to $120-something.Did you call the places directly? I have always had better luck. Big Bend Lodge at the gas station in Study Butte`s #432-371-2218 thats the front desk..
I can tell you from experience with the stock tires, they are not good off road!! I assume they are the Dunlop Trail Wings? (aka: Death Wings). On my 2013 DR650, I logged maybe 500 miles on them before I took them off!
I have never been to BB but I have been to Colorado and the D606's worked very well. I am going to try the Kenda's K270's for BB, people on here recommend them.
thats my 2 cents......
