What's it say?Lonely place with a bit of irony. View attachment 104699View attachment 104700
I understand this a lot more now! Next time. The Playa was so full of smoke as I came down to Fields you couldn't see anything!You ought to go up through Plush and into the Hart Refuge. Great hot springs, then onto French Glen and do the Steens loop north to south. Then down to Fields for a milk shake. From there head north along the Alvord. Ride on the Playa for a bit then head along the East Steens road north to Crane Hot Springs. If you want more???
I ran into a guy on this trip that was having horrible problems and went into a dealership and traded it in for a new one. The dealer knew he was in a spot and he payed FULL MSRP! Gave him 9200 for his 2020 GS1250 Ralley as it had an unsolvable problem. Kept throwing codes and dying. I told him to call Mother BMW and start a lemon law case... which he did.As long as they're not on the side of the road or in the shop for repairs, Beemers are great bikes. Fantastic to ride. I just can't rationalize their "pay to play" with their reliability.
Must be a regional thing. H-D is our most seen brand. Followed by 'Wings. Beemers are fairly rare.. . . . in the last 11,000 miles of this trip the majority of bikes seen (1000's) the BMW is the majority brand.
Yes, I am talking adventure bikes. From Alaska down the west coast and then in the mountains going north to Oregon and ID.Must be a regional thing. H-D is our most seen brand. Followed by 'Wings. Beemers are fairly rare.

Duh, I should have considered where you went. But as it turns out, H-D is still the most seen. I see the PA more than I see any other brands ADV bike. There's even one, maybe two, that live in my area. I've only seen 2 GS this year, and one was restored and likely saw even less dirt than my bike. It's been years since I've seen a Super Tenere in the wild. But this part of Texas is not a destination, or on the way to a destination.Yes, I am talking adventure bikes.

No, the flies were free... and numerous!Wow I'm impressed (totally) from the bike purchase to the build to this trip - did you pay for the fly on your burger ?
Keep reporting back !
Interesting... been through Lusk many a time on US 20.Mother Featherlegs - Wikipedia

Expert section was a bit tricky in a couple places, side x sides chew it up. View attachment 104746View attachment 104747
Beautiful scenery and much open grazing in the desert and up in the mountains. Cow pies galore, bike isn’t muddy just sh_tty.

Sand caught me here, too fast and too much pack.

Then I did some of the Black Hills BDR-X on the way back home.
Looks like you had an adventure. Glad you survived a couple drops. Not sure I would do some of that solo. You know how much I love sand (and cow piles). Pictures rarely do the rough sections justice. I thought Steve might go back with you.View attachment 104744
