Or smart and careful. Its all perspective.Yikes, color me with cowardly yellow; I doubt I've ever gone over 50 mph on gravel.

Tell me more about this dirt road between Caliente and Vegas. I need to get out and explore more of the dirt areas around me...On the S10? 70 whatever MPH. There is a dirt road that saves you around 30 miles from Vegas to Caliente its well maintained better than any fire road you have ever been on. Its flat and straight with long sight lines for much of it. Also near zero chance of running into LEO.
(175 MPH in a Z06 at the Salt Flats if we are counting 4 wheels)
On 93 heading towards Alamo. There is a dirt road off to the right Kane Springs Road not sure how it is marked these days Used to have a decent sign. 36.962371770774425, -114.97076348493941 (cut and paste that into google)Tell me more about this dirt road between Caliente and Vegas.

STOP! You make me jealous, I want dirt roads too .On 93 heading towards Alamo. There is a dirt road off to the right Kane Springs Road not sure how it is marked these days Used to have a decent sign. 36.962371770774425, -114.97076348493941 (cut and paste that into google)
Nice well maintained will drop you on the back side of Elgin and becomes a paved road there at the apple orchard. If you haven't been to the area go stop by the school for a quick look around. From Elgin to Caliente is a pretty canyon road worth the trip alone.
Another trip to consider is Adaven (Nevada backwards) Alpaca farms, free range cattle, decent stream and campground/picnic spot Tons of dirt roads up there that are more or less maintained to some degree. Nothing I wouldn't hesitate to take a stock accord on. The roads up there flop back and forth between 375 and 318 so you can't get too lost. Abandoned mines and ranches all over.
I thought it was a parallel, not a horizontal-twin??Old shot but I'll do 30 pulling a trailer.
Of course there was that one time . . .
Yeah - You'll remember that I knew I was in trouble when out of the corner of my eye I saw the trailer was about to pass me.The problem is when you're doing 30 and the trailer starts doing 35.
When you see that happening just move to the pillion seat. You're about to be taken for a ride.Yeah - You'll remember that I knew I was in trouble when out of the corner of my eye I saw the trailer was about to pass me.

I recommend you simply go down to the Mead Substation and take Burro Wash Road out to the cove through the slot canyons. That is not far from where you live and you can spend all day riding and even make your way to Lake Mohave via sand washes. I really miss riding out there. Of course I don't recommend the Super Tenere for that!Tell me more about this dirt road between Caliente and Vegas. I need to get out and explore more of the dirt areas around me...
At last! An honest man!3.2 mph.
I didn't know KTM did trailers.The problem is when you're doing 30 and the trailer starts doing 35.
I dislike having a small top case on my KTM. I'm sure not going to hobble it with a trailer. It's the kind of bike that needs to run free.I didn't know KTM did trailers.
Right now, the only vehicle I have is my 2011 4x4 Tacoma. I haven't had the ST for a few years and I just sold my quad. It threw me off on my last trip to Dumont last month, and since i'm turning 50 this year, I decided that was enough. I did put down a deposit on a Polaris RS1, but the earliest I will see that is July...I recommend you simply go down to the Mead Substation and take Burro Wash Road out to the cove through the slot canyons.

Nothing wrong with that decision. The Polaris is going to be a blast. A buddy of mine has one and and it is the perfect desert runner!! Dumont dunes can be brutal for sure!!.
