Member Contributer GutsyGibbon Posted May 8, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted May 8, 2006 First off: I apologize if you were hoping to see a coast to coast road trip report here. My VFR got new shoes yesterday, and I took it out for a spin today. It was a rather short, 330 miles round trip from SD. I managed to snap a few pics to share Joshua Tree National Park Califirnia Great day at the park. The main attraction- Joshua tree, and ofcourse the VFR Another random pic. On my way back, it was windy like hell, the windmills make a good pic, but wind sucks! The premium gas at Joshua was almost $4 ... ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you do many miles on hwy 395? What kind of shape was it in? There was a bit of construction when i did it last. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I live in SD, so I do not need to take the 395. I took I15, I215, CA60, I10, and CA62. Did some riding within the national park, and came back to SD the same way. I love the roads inside the park. A couple years back they were repairing the roads, now it is in great shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I love the roads inside the park. You should get a dualsport bike, then. Check this tour out (hope you don't mind the thread hijack!

Check this tour out (hope you don't mind the thread hijack! B) )http://www.dualsportbc.com/forums/forum11/1827.html <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe a dualsport as a second bike, for a camping trip should be fun. I cannot think of replacing my VFR and lose the comfort on asphalted roads. Actually, I meant I like the asphalted roads inside the park :D Threre is ample space to pull out at all the picture spots. Even though there is loose gravel all around the park, the roads are free from gravel. A couple years back me and my wife rented quads, and did some off roading near Joshua. It was a lot of fun.

The Phantom Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 It looks like an awesome place to ride regardless of bike! My brother spent a week in Death Valley a few years back and said it looked great for dirtbiking. He was there with Australian army regiment 6RAR doing exercises with US army.
