    Are any of these riders members here on Cafe Husky? What happens to all of the bikes and equipment when something like this happens? Glad to here they got a quick response.

    I don't really understand how NINE bikes run out of gas. Seems to me at some point before you get to 'bingo fuel' You empty the bikes into one or two and send those guys back to get some bottles.

    No?

    this story is little bit off/unclear in details , first by some of the names being misspelled and the actual story

    I posted it as an example on why its a good idea to have comm when out in the boonies.

    yes they did get heloed out, but those guys they knew exactly where they were, they are all Baja pros as well as (well if you see the names you know),,, there is more to the story but that is for them to tell, all I know is hearsay (from good people in the know)

    I posted it just for the safety example, situations can happen to the best so "be prepared", they were, and all is well.

    I am sure they stashed the bikes and have all ready trucked down to retrieve them, (that is only my thought), because our crew has done that sort of thing.

    Wait, what? They got the bikes back already?

    Aw man...so much for that two-wheeled ransom to be. *canceling finders keepers alert and tossing ramp and straps back in the garage :banghead:*
