loaded up truck sunday and got out of the heat for awhile. took scooter and did some single track around the peaks. had and interesting conversation with a ranger.
new AZ state law. any motorized vehicle on the fsr roads or even the single track trails must be registered and have a MC street legal plate plate on them. must also have a OHV stamp or tag on that plate. now it dosent have to pass inspection to be street legal, head-tail light, t/s, brake light mirror etc. but it must be plated.
the good news is they are not shutting down the forest in sept like origianlly planned. they are going keep the area open and preform their 'evaluation" of the area.
there were more mountain bikes on the trails than i think ive ever seen. most were already off the trail watching us "freight train" by. but i did have some that wouldnt move off the trail when coming in opposite direction, now i understand that its just as much their trail as mine but some of these guys are gonna get hurt.
anyways, the weather was awesome, light showers, mid 80's and breezy
