Looks like honda needs to fit Speed Racer tires so you guys can drive on the side of the wall.
Or is this showing that the p1k has the same “suspension geometry error” as the talon?
Edit: I might need a speed racer wrap for the Mighty P500...

Exploring some possibilities for my SxS on my mountain bike today started out promising...
But turned out to be a dead end.
Seeing this mature elk was worth the effort though.

Found some new to me stuff today.

Buckle up boyz, we're about to venture into the nose bleed seats. 
I'm about to find out how steep and rocky this is. Tree line is at 11,500, give or take a few, I'm a bit above that, these are the tough ones.
Vistas? we haz 'em - I think that's Australia on the horizon -
The road to Red Cone -
Closer -
Ruh roh -
Dat's a loooong dam way down der, you won't stop bouncing til Denver -
Out the other window -
Was it worth it? OH HELL YEAH!!!
What's the sign say? Red Cone Peak Elev. 12,801 -
More of my trusty steed -
This I did NOT EXPECT. It's a STEEP downhill, I was riding the ridge on the left, straddling the snow, keeping all 4 tires on the rocks but decided it was time to get back on the road. As you can see, this wasn't fresh snow (which I was betting on), it's been driven and the right track has turned to ice. The rest of this descent was crossed up, butt to the right, trying to keep my speed down without locking up tires. The season is over here, we're getting snow this weekend, you can see it in the clouds. 😢
This is a one way trail, you'll see why inna minit - that's my way out.
OMG!!! There's no going up this without tearing the crap out of the road. I rode up it on a 400 2 stroke before they
made it one way and it took me several tries.
Hangin' from my seat belt -
It's much steeper than it looks, not a problem in a SxS but engine braking isn't going to get it - especially in one a dem KRX's.

Some days its about exploring new trails and finding new things. Others, it's just about getting out into the desert. Today it's just about getting out. Familiar trails and beautiful scenery...
Got to visit some areas yesterday on the east side of the San Pedro river called the Holy Joe loop.

I've used this guy's blog as kind of a checklist in the past. And hopefully the future...
Did you spot that big horn sheep just below the ridgeline and to the right of center? Looks like a good size one.
No, I was just taking panorama shots.
Access from Copper Creek is on Rug Road and Carpet Hill. You can bypass Carpet hill by access from Cowboy Miller road to get to Rug Road. Table Mt. mine is interesting and when we got to Parsons Cabin we saw that road crews were smoothing out the continuing road to the NE. At that point we turned around and went up Carpet Hill and did Bluebird mine before dropping back into Copper Creek and onto Mammoth.

Is rug road as bad as some jeep sites describe it?
The only part of it that was fairly rough was the Carpet Hill portion. Our group of three machines were in four wheel low lock for the entire length of it going down and back up. Going down was worse than the return trip back up. Lots of loose big rocks.

I think my 1st trip over there (whenever that happens), I might do the Cowboy miller (or whatever it's called) bypass. The turkey creek area sounds more interesting...

Sure thing.
How is cowboy miller road? Can I stage somewhere up it, or do I need to do it closer to pavement?
