After a long run down the valley, we came to the waterfall.

I'm too big of a pussy to ride down it.

Since the bikes were down, it was a good time for a rest.

Back to being dressed, we climbed back up to the ridgeline, and stopped here to let my bike stop boiling.

That was all the ride shots. I do have video from the entire ride on Sunday, and I'll get that up in the next couple days.

We got back to camp, and leisurely packed up. When we left, I backed up, and as I pulled forward to leave, I felt a big jolt, and then the coach just didn't want to go. So, I got out, and started walking around the rig, and then came to this.

This story, I'll finish tomorrow. :wave:
 
Nice job. I really like it up at CC but I have not been there for a year or so. The last I heard was that they were closing some of it off because of a weed. :noidea: What ever happened to that BS? I have failed in the riding also as I have not been on the bike since Pres Day weekend. You hear that Rez, you are not alone.

No enforcement yet. :hifive:
My guess is I would have to get out of 2bnd gear to ride this area with you :panic: :faint:

This area was a lot of 2nd gear.:smirk:

I had a blow out on my TH on the way home... looks like a complete 3 tire exchange. I already have a new tire from last years blow out that makes the 4th. :foul:

Great report. :ride: Never seizes to amaze me at all the stuff that's out in the dez. :shocked:

BTW that trailer is pretty slick looking. You ever weigh it?
 

James

Staff member
No, I haven't weighed it, but I'm guessing around 1500 pounds, plus the 1500 I put on it, would make the MH towing 3000-3500 pounds.:noidea:
Seriously? I'd have said it would be way more than that. Heck the bikes themselves are ~700 lbs. I was told that my little trailer was ~6-700 pounds and it's a single axle with a wood floor and open sides. :noidea:

BTW what actually happened to it?

Once I had it stripped down as far as I was going, it was 510 pounds. According to steel weight charts, I put on 900 pounds of steel. Add a 100 pounds for the aluminum boxes, pretty close to 1500 pounds.:noidea:

Interesting, I'll see if I can get mine weighed somewhere because now I'm really curious. :lol:

So how does the POS MH tow that heavy trailer? What was the cause of it stopping when you were moving out of the spot and what is the picture of the trailer tire telling me?
