Right on Chris, my Mojave Road trips are epic!!! We usually have quite a few guys come down from NorCal every year!! Hope you can make it!!

I'm here! I'm here! Finally I can post on this site. Hey Robert, I think by having this the official thread, you can pull more people onto this site. I heard of this site and a couple of the 120 guys are on here, but I never really checked it out. heh heh.

Anyhow, bringing my question from the other forum to here. How deep is the water crossing? Worst case scenario... The water is uber high due to some flash flood or whatever. Can I somehow sneak around to the other side without getting my tires wet? Yes Yes!!! I am a chicken sh!t. If it was local, I wouldn't mind smashing around, but so far from home, I become very hesitant with a lot of things.

Yeah Vinh, there is a water crossing on the last day. You'll have no problems at all!!! I've taken many stock trucks through there over the years, no worries.

Woody's problem last year, was that he didn't either hear me or didn't pay attention when I radioed back to let everyone know Not to go fast through the water that day, as the water was deeper that day than usual!! Of course......we all know what happened there!!!

Anyway, don't be afraid Grasshopper..........you'll be just fine!!!!! Besides, your air box is higher than ours anyway!!!

[Sprung17]

So we need to have our own portable bathroom thingy? Ooooh. That'll give me a reason to pick up that pop up changing room shower bathroom thing thingy.

Shit....who did you get you truck from???

Anyway, trails are easy to moderate. You can get by without sliders, but they are an inexpensive thing to protect your truck!!

I have every NVTTORA Easter Mojave trip in the trip reporting forums.......search and check them out!!

[lexwoody]

Sorry guys! Work won't and this trip is not getting a long. I will sit this one out. But, will make the one late this year. Have fun.

[crhannig]

Been to Sturgis.......it's overrated......wayyyyy too many damn people!!!!!

Can't believe you're still riding that damn bike after the accident!!!!

People never learn!!

Take your four wheels and be safer!!! Get a little dirt on you!!!

[crhannig]

Well I have been in car accidents before too, and yet I still drive.

As for Sturgis, I am going so I can say I have been there, done that.

Now back on topic....

Difference between a crash on a bike and a car, at least you're somehow still alive!!!
Anyway, not going to start another bike or no bike crap....I'll stay with my four tires on the ground thank you very much!!!
Maybe you can make the 6th annual Toy120 Mojave Road trip in September!!

I rode for years - grew up with bikes.... I was fortunate - On the way home from the hospital from my last accident (ran off road into double guard rail by a guy that was late to work!) I went by an accident where 3 guys racing tee boned a Ford Taurus - all 3 died. I watched that clean up for about 1.5 hours saying to myself "I have too much I want to do to waste it on that thrill. About a week later I went to Knotts Berry Farm (by myself) and rode Montezuma's Revenge about 40 times saying to myself, I will find other ways to fill the need for the bike rush!

I recently lost my friend since 3rd grade - a 17 yr old pulled out in front of him. He traded his leg for ~ $million and an addiction to pain killers.
