AZ HoonFEST Checklist

Post by AlisoBob »

This is not a "Fun" ride.....

At my riding level, there are times it feels allot like this...



Its all rideable, riding it at a fast pace is what I have difficulty in....

YOUR EQUIPMENT MUST BE TIP-TOP!!

Heavy Duty tubes, and fresh tires are highly recommended.

Skid plates and handgards are too....

If you have a dented pipe in the garage, put it on.

You want to carry 100oz water MINIMUM!!!!!

I spoke with Trace today.... He rode yesterday.... Had a GREAT TIME!!!!

A great time = 35 miles, in 4 1/2 hours.


:twisted:

My best advise in to make sure you and your machine is in great shape, and nothing is going to fall off ( Brit) .

At times, you will be 15 miles from the truck, and there is no " Chicken Out" or " Limp Mode" road back.

I did the math once..... Something like 4 years x 20 bikes x 2 days x 30 miles = 4800 bike miles. We have never left a bike in the desert yet!!!! ( dont be the first.......)

Once you start a loop, you finish a loop. Period. If you want to bitch about it , do so back at the staging area. Bitching on the trail is bad form and reduces th amount of help your likely to need and receive.

I think there are going to be two groups....

"A to B+" riders

"B- to C" riders

I'm not trying to scare anyone out of this, but rather hype you up for it!!

Be sure to ask any and all questions before hand.

This is a great ride, and you will be amazed at what you and your bike are capable of...

What Bob says it true of course, but to be honest, the C type stuff is doable by all and quite a bit of fun. :twisted: I want to reiterate what he said on a few MANDATORY points however:

100 OZ WATER CARRYING CAPABILITY IS A MUST (CAMELBACK)

HANDGUARDS (BARKBUSTER STYLE W/SHIELDS ARE IDEAL)

We have mucho cholla cactii here, and even the slightest brush-by will have you looking like a pin cushion. Hand guards eliminate much drama and are not optional for a first timer.

It's a good idea to bring a leatherman with you and keep it in your Camelback...it is the ideal on-trail cactus spine remover.

I look forward to meeting many of you who I have not already had the pleasure of riding with. It will likely be my first time back on a bike in two years! I'll ride sweep on the D loop Bobby. :lol:

I can bring AF hardware or cover sets too if anyone is thinking of picking something up and want to save on shipping.

I know its a long way off and the economy is in a world of shit but, is there plans for 2010? I would love to come out and ride with some people that know the land. Also, is there any requirements on out of state bikes that I would have to take care of before hand?
