    that crossing looks like nothing, no bike should have problems with going thru there, except for 50s etc and cheese's old rm250

    they don't make them like they used to, suggest to him to try using 95 octane, it might help!

    i had a 79 xr that didn't like water so i flipped it into the river... piece of shit, i'm still dark about what that bike put me through.

    Anyway.. on topic, this'll be my fourth Desret storm and i wouldn't miss it for anything. What someone else said about camping there is very true, it's an awesome laugh. And you can test out your hangovered riding skills on the sunday

    Ha ha the old RM at the river. I've never been so pissed off with a bike in my life. Waiting for an hour for Sam to go back and get some tools......... With a RM upside down to drain the water out of where ever the fuck it got and it breaking down 10 more times on the way back.... Fuck I have Suzuki bikes.

    Cool.
    It's on then!
    Better get practicing my riding. I'm still getting a handle on the Rmz.
    It's much faster than my other bike ( A street magic)

    I'll get there eventually.
