Short ride in the desert

[bryanchurch06]

I lowered the air pressure 5 pds front and back and went for a short ride in the desert around the Rv Park, I did better than I expected with the stock tires. The deep sand parts I paddled thru. Thinking about getting a gopro and learning to post a few videos.

Looks like a nice desert ride. Watch out for that Wile E Coyote, always out there up to no good

Seen a lot of roadrunners, no coyotes yet. It's the cactus I worry about

Awesome view. I’m a mess in sand. The stock tires, mine at least, hate it.

I'm forced to do the opposite of the recommended power up, shift the weight to rear wheel and go. I have to slow down and occasionally put a foot down. I'm hoping putting a 300x17 front and back helps a little. I hope to get a lot better over the next yr here.

We have a lot of deep sand my way. I still have the stock tires mounted but have 2 other types waiting. I haven’t ventured into the sand yet. However, having gotten my Ural stuck in sand before, getting a sub-300lb bike will surely be easier to muscle out than an 800lb one.

You don't have a 2 ton cable winch and a hundred feet of good rope in the trunk?

I’d need a sand anchor, too. Nothing to winch off in the desert

What you don"t have the spare and the shovel

Good point
