Interested, just depends on when and how long. Are you planning on riding or trailering. Done the Mexican Hat and Moki Dugway area twice. Would like to do Burr.
Yes thank you
Currently looking at second or 3rd week of September
Burr is on the list for sure
September 10 days
Im riding out and back lord willing
I'd be up for it - of course I'd just have to meet up someplace.
White Rim I've done on dirt bikes, be a handful on a big bike though.

GSA
If I had a GSA I’d be up for riding out there and back but not sure I wanna do that on the 890, I’d burn up a set of tires just getting out there lol.
I’m running Dunlop trailmax mission’s
They are good off road and on and super high mileage
Truck or trailer will get you out there
Yea I’d likely throw the bike in the bed of the truck and roll. I have a wedding in Tulsa the weekend of 9/9-9/11. I should be free after that.
What tires are you running?
Im burning down a set of TKC80's at the moment, the rear maybe has another 300-500 miles in it before it's completely shot, that'll happen in the next month or so. I have a MotoZ RallZ for the rear and their new Dual Venture for the front that will be going on once the TKC80's are dead. Word is the new Dual Venture has extremely good tread life and being that it's bi-directional you can flip it over once it starts wear for another 30-50% life. In my experience with the rear RallZ I should see 2000-3000 miles out of it but slab time will obviously make it wear faster.
Been looking at motoz
My dunlops will go 12k
I like the Motoz GPS tires I've got on right now. The front is new to me, but I've been happy with it so far. The rear is great. I'm expecting 8000 out of my current one. Already have another standing by.
What bike
MotoZ are fantastic tires, pretty much every model they make. The only tire I like more on the small bikes is Goldentyre but we are talking full on knobbies there.
'19 Africa Twin. My frame is reference is the TKC80 I was running before on the front too. Really feels about the same off pavement but better on at the ~36psi I tend to run. The GPS is the only rear I've run in the Africa Twin besides the stock one. I sometimes wish the center strip wasn't solid, but I wonder how much tire life you'd lose if it wasn't.
If I’m able to go I’ll be riding from Olney. Camping as much as possible along the way. It’s on my calendar.
I have been to Gooseneck State park once (very short visit), Moki Dugway twice and Muley point once. These are all, have to see locations. I will be leading a group of CMA state leadership back to this area the first week of May. Planning on camping at Muley point or Gooseneck state park. Will see how that works out.
What time frame is this trip going to encompass?

Be aware, I was there last year and the lady in the gas station laughed when I asked if the ferry was open. She then told me it had been open two days in the past year. I've tried to cross on the ferry four times in the last 15 years and it has been closed all four times. There is a paved road that goes from Bullfrog to highway 95. Highway 95 is a much prettier ride than taking the ferry to 276.
