This ride finally happened today, it was great.About 40 bikes showed up, half were AdvRider members.Here's a few pictures of my bike at the meetup, I haven't posted many pics yett this summer so for a reminder that's the Volcano Flame Outlet exhaust, Zx10r mirrors, Givi e30 and I used my tailbag as a back rest.

Here's a few bikes that parked near me.

The route we took

They split everyone up into 5 groups, nobody wanted to ride with group 1 because it was 4 friends used to riding together that was planning on hauling ***.I thought it was a joke because of the bikes, 2 klr's, a shadow and a HD but....The Shadow ended up off the road 3 or 4 times I don't have a clue how the guy lived through that ride.Lots of wet sand/fine gravel on these roads and the guy leading was a Hungarian guy that moved here 15 years ago for amateur mx, so he just went faster the rougher the road got.

Here's the group I rode with, one of the klr's was at the pumps refueling.

Group 2 arriving for a pit stop as we depart.

This is the meet up area, the rest of the pics explain themselves.
