It's 80 miles to the nearest gas-----and we have only 65 miles of gas left !!!!!

"Kenny-----I think that is a UFO" !!!!
Find about all of this as 2 old farts started the 2nd weekend in April, 2002 and rode their dualsports (street legal dirt bikes) from Moab Utah, to the Grand Canyon over a 10 day trip. Yeh, I know its only 350 miles by the way the crow flies---but we chaulked up over 1,800 miles of great scenic riding thru the trails, washes, canyons, slick rock, backroads, mountain passes, and jeep trails of Southern Utah and Northern Arizona. We rode in below freezing temperatures, and the heat of the desert getting snowed on several times in the process. We rode over and thru deep snow drifts several times and were the first motorized vehicles over 2 mountain passes-----2 others were impassable by us because of extremely deep snow. We rode with no support vehicle at all--and had to be prepared for anything mother nature threw at us. And even tho the North rim of the Grand Canyon was closed for the winter----find out how we got there anyway as there was no way we were going to "Bust".
Here are the two riders below in the Lockhart Basin of Utah by the Green river. Kenny Gibbons is on a highly modified Suzuki DR650 and Mark Sampson on a basically stock Suzuki DRZ400S.
