Arizona Traverse: Who will be the first moto to complete the route?

This sounds like an awesome trip. If I had the right gear for a multi day trip like this I would be all over it. I think it would be fun on my crf450x. Besides, I can't ride for a couple more months at least due to an AC joint seperation from a crash in Colorado earlier this summer.

You really don't need much...I take a fraction of what dhackney has listed on his thread. You don't need a tent, a stove, pots, panniers...etc. This is from a 1600 mile trip in Baja we did in 7 days. Would of been done a day or two earlier but we had some minor mechanicals. I packed fairly light and still had too much. Most trips you run past towns, can get supplies along the way, you have to get fuel...99% of the time the fuel stop has what you need.

It looks like you are the only member to commit with confidence. Send me a PM and we will get the ball rolling!

I'm ready to go -- Scott, do you have a better map than the one you posted earlier?

Something that breaks down the different segments, i.e. a point-to-point deal?

Just did waterpump and solid-state fuel pump, so I'll just throw on a set of D606s and drag over what I can't ride

Sorry I can get that amount of time until November after Thanksgiving.

It looked like steadycam off the back of a moto. i.e., shooter sitting backwards pillion.

Regardless, it was well shot.

it was definately a camera on a string, whatever thats called, it travels between a tree crotch in one shot and if you watch closely you can see it travel in elevation following an arch a couple times. way cool technology and style everytime i see something like that. i also really like the driven motor on tracks thing that is getting more popular.


scott i am down to do it, i have the resources and the time i just dont know if i will do the photo and daily logging justice it deserves. looking at the map i would hazzerd a guess that i have run the majority of the route sans the extreme southern end.

if LTfuzz falls through for some reason lemme know.

Sounds like a fantastic adventure. I wish I had the Bike and the Time.

Couldn't you both do it? I see 3-4 guys being ideal. Couple with GoPros, a handheld video camera...and everyone with a camera to combine resources.

Heck I would do the route for free if the time worked out...too busy right now...could only get 5 days off max right now, and that is pushing it. Crazy season right now.

Like the camera on a cable they use for Pro football games...cool stuff that is for sure!

Definitely. The more the merrier!

I love writing so I will definitely be able to document the trip to that extent.

Let's do it together!
