A look at the back of the KTM 950 Adventure shows
how narrow this competent bike is.
The flora was also beautiful!

| This was the
most difficult section of the ride. Down hill
with a few pebbles tossed in! |
 |
| Mike,
leading the riders down the rocky canyon. |
 |
 |
Jun is parking his bike to give Craig
a hand. Many of the riders dropped their
bikes and everybody was there to offer to help right the monster bikes. |
 |
This is Mike doing an excellent job of
getting his bike down this narrow, steep and rocky trail! |
 |
Mike is focusing on the rocks.
There is no way to avoid the rocks. You just
try and hit the smaller rocks and avoid the larger rocks.
On these 500 pound bikes it is more difficult then
it looks. |
 |
Craig bites the dust
rocks one more time.Just to the left of his
windshield is a huge drop-off!
Fatigue is setting in among all the riders. |
Riding this bike was an experience I
will remember for many years!
| The darn KTM
950 kept getting in the way of many of the pictures that were taken!
There was a filming crew in this old hotel, filming a
movie. |
 |
| Myself, Adam
and Jim. |
 |
| This is
where we spent the 3 nights. Panamint Resort
and Lodge! |
 |
| Thought I
would get a picture of the BMW photographers.
Adam and Tom. |
 |
 |
This is Will a
unknown rider executing a rocky downhill trail.
The unknown rider claimed his feet never touched the
ground.
SURE! |
 |
Jun has the big KTM in total control
executing the same hill! The KTM is a
competent bike, and Jun is doing a great job of handling it! |
| This was a
first time experience for all the riders in the group.
We rode in excess of 1 mile in this old mine!
It was actual trail riding inside a mountain. |
 |
| This is
Will, Jun and I about 1/2 mile underground.
When we turned the lights off, it was the darkest thing I had ever
experienced! |
 |
 |
No comment!
This is Dave.............. |
| Six of us
rode home through Bodfish (that is the Kern river in the background).
Adam, Mike, Jun, Dave and Debbie. |
 |
Jun's dirt and street skills make me
proud. He has developed into an excellent rider.
Looking for him to join the "Big Dog"
ride in Colorado this year!
He is ready.
Again, a special thanks to
Dave and Tom from Malcolm Smith Motorsports,
Jim from RawHyde
and Will from KTM.
You all made a great weekend for us all!
