[QUOTE="Tony Eeds, post: 779001, member: 32023"] Photos for Day 01 and 02 have been posted. There will be more to follow. Click on the [url=http://www.dirtrider.net/teamdrn/][b][u]DRNs Photo Gallery[/u][/b][u][/u][/url] and sort by latest and you should find my name at or near the top. Enjoy! For the record ... Day 01 photographs were taken with a Canon Elph 4.1 MP pocket camera Day 02 photographs (and the balance) were taken with a Canon EOS D30 4.1 MP SLR camera with a 28mm~200mm F1:3.5~5.6 lens and circular polarizer filter. I chose to move to my SLR because the light was too strong and the polarizer filter does a great job cutting down haze and glare from desert phtographs. I will add more photos soon. For anyone that wants a copy, I have all 300+ that I can burn to a CD. Shoot me an email or PM for info on how to get a copy. I hope thay can do Moab justice. We dropped the main a couple of sizes (175 if remember correctly) and raised the needle one clip on my 200. The 400 was fine and never missed a beat. Four stroke bikes don't seem to be as affected by the altitude (Moab probably averages 5500~6000 ft with Dallas being at 900ft). Regarding tires, almost any tire will likely work as the traction is better than riding on the street. Picture 60 grit sandpaper and you have the idea. Zero wheelspin on slickrock. I don't think I would put a new tire on for Moab. A new tire would not be needed unless your knobs are almost gone. There was some soft sand so a fairly good tire is required, but clearly not a new tire. One last thought regarding preparation. The place is rocky, so be sure and have a skid plate and pipe guard (2 strokes) because you will hear rocks being lifted up by your front tire and flung at your cases a lot! I managed to taco my pipe on my 200 and am going to have to order a new one. This pipe gets put on the shelf for the next trip to Moab. :yeehaw: Regarding experience ... there is a great deal of variety and riding available for all levels of experience. I will leave the burden answer to others ... I "felt" like a burden many times, but always tried to keep laughing. Why don't we just start planning for next March/April? Works for me! :aj: [/QUOTE]
