Request;
Can we get an update on the Hunter Mtn Teakettle Racetrack Ubehebe Crater ride for mileage?
I need to know if I have the range and don't want to lock up a spot if I don't.

Thanks

[spafxer]

What's at ubehebe ?

If you're talking fuel you have your choice Beatty, Furnace Creek, or Stovepipe Wells 87 only.

The crater.

I think he was looking for route mileage for that ride sign up. Perhaps someone can estimate the loop distance. From memory, leaving PSR, and coming back through StovePipe Wells, I'm guessing about 140-150? Maybe it's not that far.

Correct, I'm on a TE449 Husky and my range with add on tank is 90 miles tops. Fudgypup is listed as the ride leader and said he would provide the details days ago, I now see he's been banned from ADV?

He can post up his details on the official Rally Group Ride sign-up site, here. Or I'll get all the details of his ride and post it here for you.
Also if you ride with him, you wont have a problem with gas, he has plenty extra, GSA1200.

[browneye]

Yes, Eric has been banned for some time. We'll get you a close estimate for distance on that loop.

For DV you really want at least 150 mile range. Most of the routes/loops are over 100miles, many are 125-135, some are longer. There's generally quite a bit of high-speed dirt or hiway involved.

Gas carrying options are GL Mojave - drop a couple of msr liter bottles in the side bags. Add two more to a backpack. That's easy to carry and should give you about 150 miles.

I'm on a TE630, low fuel light comes on at about 110. With a 1.5gl Kolpin pax on the rack it gives me at least another 65 miles. Lately the bike has been getting close to 50mpg.

I see if I can figure out a mount for a rotopax.
Or, Ill just bring the tiger.
Thanks for the help

I'm confused about this entire event registration. I think there's a waiting list and I think I already asked to be included however now I can't find that waiting list. So forgive me if someone has already put me on the list. If not and I didn't do it correctly then here is my information. If I need to place the information somewhere else please inform me as to where.

Hi Joe,

You are on the waiting list (#3 on the list). Please check post #4 on page 1.

[NSFW]

folks, let's wait for the ride leaders to post their route and mileage.

personally, i will not wander riding alone far from camp if my bike has less than 100 miles of fuel range. if you're stuck with a small gas tank, there are nearby places you can check out, like darwin and ballarat. and like browneye suggested - bring a rotopax or gas container to increase your fuel range.

give the mc economy a little boost, "just tanks" and other vendors here at adv will give a discount...http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=431761

solomotoparts is our official vendor partner for this event. check out the website, i'm sure there's something for you and your bike there. i will ask for a discount code and will post it on page 1.

i posted some milestones on page 1, post #3. will add more later.
