    Hi all: My bike has been yelling at me to go out again since Baja, so I lubed the chain, filled the tank and went on what I'll call "Bob's Brashaw blast to Blythe and back". From No. Shore of Salton Sea the trail (nice road) goes to the alfalfa fields in Blythe. Then highway into town (I was alone and a little spooked at this point not knowing where I was), then I saw the 10 fwy. and a gas station, 91mi. by now. Had an energy bar lunch, then found some one in their front yard that told me of a dirt road that led to Wiley's Well road and back to Bradshaw. Wiley's Well road!!! A manicured 3 lane wide flat smooth road with some gentle sweepers and a 15mph. speed limit !!! Yeah like that's gonna happen on the 610 But being alone I kept it just below 90 (86 actual), then picked up Bradshaw and headed back. The road and terrain was HAUNTINGLY like the road to Alfoncias, almost to the point of having flashbacks!!! Had a blast and the bike ran flawlessly !! enjoy the pics...

    Wonder how the BLM will blame the off roaders for old missles littering the desert??????

    Is that bullet holes in the unexploded ordinance? :busted: Yahoo! It looks like you had an excellent ride and this is a great time of year for the low desert.

    Looks like a fun ride on the right bike for it. Nice. Thanks for sharing. :cheers:

    - seeing your seat makes the month wait to get mine done from Creeper all that much harder.

    Stroker Ace has one of the nicest seats I've ever seen.

    No, really! :lol:

    He even has a little Timerider pocket where he stashes TicTac's in case he runs into a rider with breath that isn't exactly lemony fresh:D


    Nice write-up, SA. I wish we'd been able to ride last weekend. I was busy recovering from the nasty cold I felt coming on Saturday night in Bay of LA.
