Moabiker's Tall Tales

Nice assortment of bikes there Moabite,
Couple a KTM's Maybe?, a DR650? the NC Honda. Oh and a good old KLR650, I love them, still thinking of buying one.

Yeah noticed that one, be a bit of a handful offroad I'm thinking.


Got your moneys worth there I reckon Moabite ;)
I had lots tread before trying to keep up with the canadians. Forgot motorcycles are not all trials bikes and can go faster than 10 mph...
...that guy on big katoom does major off road with that bike..he off road colorado mountains...no thanks, i rather have nimble ride than epic push tale.
...this is where i sent the 7 canadians...have not seem them in 2 days...think they camp at halfway point...find out tomorrow.

...it is a fun place to visit...seriously should consider as xs650 rally spot some year or a great spot to bring wifey and kids...really so much to see without even riding...i was here over 10 years before i even went into the 2 national parks there so much to see just on BLM land. (National parks here are spectacular...i go regularly now, sooo much exploring but must follow all rules or get in serious trouble, and in some places way too crowded.) My fav is national forest, not the parks plus there are hundreds of miles of all kinda trails from mild to wild on BLM land(where most of off road riding is).

...my friend and his buds had no difficulties riding slickrock and hells revenge and we went up and down a lot of big steep hills...very impressive how easily friend rode 750 there...these guys all really good riders and was fun riding scorpa 4 tricks with them...a 750cc to 70cc , and 500+ lbs to 80 lb bike spread...

...Scorpa 4tricks got a chance to show its stuff compared to big bikes and that it extremely capable on big hills and little bike is actually the King of the Hills here!!! Other bikes on hills go up or down, 4tricks ride figure 8 on sides of hills...

Beautiful!

BTW I have a question on the young person with the pink helmet on the 4-wheeler - how the heck did he/she get that thing down into that hole filled with water in the first place?
