        More Pics:





        This was the first section where we have to climb














        Took a break here. And to my bad the cross winds was too high it blew my helmet away. I was taken by surprise since I had kept the helmet on the mirror. It had gopro and bluetooth on it. Luckily nothing much happened to both even after and 50ft fall and roll. Only the clamp of the gopro broke, but the cam and bluetooth was safe.


        Even after that the wind was too much that the bike itself started moving from this position.








        there goes my helmet

                Awesome ride and pics! Utah is one pretty place, in my list of places to visit. I have driven through Utah, but never visited.
                Curious, how was the v-storm while off-roading especially with the pillion? The off-road part looked adventurous especially with a passenger.

                  There is quite a lot of outdoor activities you can do here be it be on 2 wheel, 4 wheel or on foot. Its amazing !.

                  To my surprise bike performed really well. I got 80-20 tire installed before the trip. And it really helped.
                  If I had a better front tire it would have be much more easier. While riding on sand the front was not predictable so had to be extremely careful, because one small mistake can take you to down the valley. I really cannot judge the bike completely for offroad capability as I was not riding alone. Single you could do a little more faster and would have been more fun and also would get to know bikes better. However bike performed well 2up even on very steep climbs.

                  I have some videos coming up soon

                    Thanks! Those roads did looked scary. Keep the pictures and rides coming
                    Did you guys end up going to 'The Wave', I think its in south Utah (Arizona border). The place requires you to get some permit and then hike there, but it has some of the most beautiful rock formations.

                      Awesome pics there.
                      Once I have donned my black helmet, I become anonymous. My face ceases to identify me. My black visor shields others from the rigours of my passing glance while shielding me from their attempts to peer into my soul. I am an anonymous rider shrouded in black. I am no longer a specific self. I am a passing Traveller.

                        That is scary!! I think you should take care of the front next time on; you'll know better!!
