Dirt Road Riding on my RV250

Arizona Highways Magazine has a recent article about good drives. One of them is close to Tucson, so off I went. It was about 100 miles, total, from my house. About 40 miles of this were dirt road. Over all, the dirt quality was pretty good and I found that the worst of it was at the beginning. There was some very deep sand in places, but I manged to keep the bike upright the whole ride.

Points of interest on this ride:
The "town" of Mescal, actually a western movie set
Aqua Verde Castle
Great desert scenery raning from 2000 to 4500 feet elevation

My last dirt ride, my starter went out and left me stranded. I had better luck this time. I brought my go-pro with me and shot some video. I'll be writing up the ride for my blog soon, but for now, I do have the video up on you tube:

Yeah, nice music choice ...Good ride. I love my dual-sport for that very reason... I like to see you ( like me) doing it on what you are riding.

I've been thinking about a dual sport, but the money just isn't there right now. I'm keeping the idea on "the back burner" though.

I don't like not being able to go somewhere just because I'm on a scooter, so I go anyway.
