There is a Mojave to State Line run on September 27th 2008. I went to their last one (went as a support vehicle) and had a good time..
It is a well run event, that they have been puting on for years. It is run by Monaghan Motorsports in Tehachapi. It has primarily been Motorcycles & ATV's.
The last event had UTV's (for the first time) and there were approx 10 of them. This time it will triple or quadruple or more.

Starts in Mojave
There are 4 check in points.
Kramer Junction (4 corners)
Yermo
Baker
State Line

The longest run is between Yermo and Baker and is approx 80 miles..

Each of the check-in points is fully accesable for any support vehicle.

Some run it hard, some take their time, its up to you. You can cruise it in a stock suspension vehicle, or run hard if you have the suspension and gonads to do so..

They have a chase truck, permits, Medi Vac on stand by, Etc....
There is a rider banquet after at Buffalo Bills.. And most spend the night there..

They start out with a drivers meeting at their shop in Tehachapi.

They give you a map and support phone numbers, including the chase truck at the drivers meeting.

The phone number for their shop is 661-823-0733

I went as a support vehicle with the guys from MB Products last time, and I believe they are going to sponsor some sort of BBQ lunch at Yermo this time..

Each of the check points turns into a mini camp for the support vehicles, and is suitable and easy to get to, for wives, girlfriends etc

If I remember right it was approx $50 and included a tee shirt..





Sounds like it would be hell but and awsome experience

What are you thinking of riding? You'd need a dez tank for either one.

I was thinking of using the AF and just making sure we had someone in a 4x4 following us with gas.

if you want to do it i might ride with ya brit.. I have been wanting to make that journey for a while now.. You could crash at my pad to recover after the ride if ya want I live about 20 min from stateline

If I do it im just gonna drop the $25 for a room at stateline and get shitfaced there

ohhhhkaaaaay

Dude if we do this ride have you got any idea how tired we are gonna be? Im prolly gonna crawl off my bike, leave it where ever I stop then park at the bar gear and all

its about 200 miles or so.. yes even with the big cushy comfy seat of the 500 i will still have ape ass and will want to crawl straight to a bathtub or pool strip down adn soak for hours.. I just hope being the end of september the temps cool down... im not down for crossin a effin desert in the middle of the day when its over 100+

Is there any way to prerun Yermo to Baker?

Dont know man, in this heat it would be suicide. I think its mostly powerline roads and desert trails.

My bike won't make that leg without refueling at about 45 miles maybe I'll call the promoter?

My AF will do 30-40 miles on a tank.

It will do a little more than 40 I'm sure so what are you gonna do about fuel?

Like I said a few posts back im wondering if we could get someone with a 4x4 to either tag behind us or meet us at pre determined spots 30 miles apart.



Im by no means 100% doing this ride I just saw it this morning and figured it would be an adventure

The last time I did a ride like this the "Phantom Duck" was around and we went from Barstow to Vegas and I was riding and XR500 in a CJ craddle frame it's been awhile...

You can hide gas cans along the way. That way nobody misses the ride!
