do we have any gps tracks or routes planned?
I am on the same schedule as you My real name is Mike 512 738 1667 Call or text meI just bought a sweet Honda CRF450X and it needs some basic set up including plating...Im gonna try to come down wednesday to at least Fort Stockton and then resume on to Terlingua on Thursday morn to set up camp. Would love to get in a short ride Thursday evening before the Fajita Dinner.
Ive got a camping site in Terlingua with water and elec right behind the store...
Im from San Antonio...my TWT name is INFIDEL and my real name is Trace. Ive ridden with many of you on several TARA events in the past. I had a DR650 but wanted something lighter for the sands of Big Bend and Im excited about this new Honda CRF450X...
Im looking for riders of moderate speed to ride with on Friday and Saturday. Ive been to Big Bend before but have only ridden River Road. Im looking to tackle Old Ore, Black Gap and possibly King Kong Hill over in the State Park...
Im interested in a great ride, meeting fun people to ride with in the future.
I have ridden a huge variety of bikes for 40 years and loved them all...but im not a bike elitist. I buy most of mine used on Craigslist so I can afford to own a few... I will help you up if you crash and would hope for the same. I like to stop along the way and take in the scenery and snap a few photos.
Im 59 so a moderate pace and schedule will be the plan. Hope to see you there. Anyone is welcome to ride with me and can text me at 210-392-7980 anytime to meet up.
Question,
This is my first trip to BBSP, so I was wondering are most of y'all taking 2 bikes ? It appears there are instances where a lighter 450 is what some are preferring. I ride a 800 Tiger so I was concerned on the weight. Any answers would be appreciated.
That d606 would be ideal! I just need enough rubber to get back to el paso. I brought rear tire but needed front.Doh!
Depends on what type of riding you want to do. I lean toward mostly dirt when I go to Big Bend so I only bring a lighter dirt bike. If you want to do street and dirt, bring both. Heavy bikes no fun in sand and technical stuff.
You should be fine, there's only 1 semi rough ledge, and it's not bad.I ride a Tiger 800XC as well and have never ridden out at BBNP, for a pretty capable rider how difficult would Black Gap be on an adv bike? Note that i'll hardly have any luggage on the bike at all.

Found a new tire in Alpine this afternoon. Thanks aren't enough for those who looked or are bringing tires! I'll buy you guys a beer or six!
