It was perfect yesterday, about 55, light breeze. Perfect Trails out this way for the bike. A few Tricky spots with some deep sand and some rocks, but nothing insurmountable. Throw it the Raptor and head on out

We ride in very deep sand a lot so no problem there and yes that's perfect temps too
Looks like fantastic riding We're in East Texas and spend most time riding in tight woods but do get out in New Mexico desert 3 or 4 times a year and love it

If y’all ever get out this way there are ENDLESS Trails. You can ride clear across the state on an adventure bike.
We were doing Titus Canyon in Death Valley several years ago. This poor guy came through on one of those Heavy Azzzz BMW 1200 Adventure Bikes. The Mfing pea-gravel was 12-18” deep. Poor dude kept dropping it, picking it up, dropping it, Picking it up….it may have been his first trip? Not a good Trail if your new riding that monster. It was killing my back watching him

My brother and I rode a good bit around Pioche many years ago so yes I'm sure you couldn ride it all in a lifetime
Our desert / dual sport bikes are KTM 500''s so yeah no Beemer for me in that kind of riding

I’m sure some of y’all think “How my Fning Desert shots is he going to show us, it’s all Mfing Desert!?” I’m just Riding the Backroads and Trails, taking you along for the ride. A lot of my shots are redundant, a slight change in angle, background or lighting, sorry, that’s the amateur photographer in me coming out.
I try to find the beauty in every mile I drive, the next mile is never guaranteed..
The Desert is Amazing and Incredibly Beautiful, as well as Deadly…

December in The Desert…
I’m still sticking close to the Crib because of my knee pain, but it’s either, head out to the Desert or Loose my mind…


Cracks me up because it's true! If you didn't spend half your life jumping out of perfectly good airplanes John your knees would be fine! LMAO
