La-b-to-v Report
Here we are closing in fast on another LA-B-to-V ride—and 25 years of finding new routes to get to Las Vegas using
mostly dirt trails. We’ve chosen to start in the desert again this year. Although we’re starting close to the same place as last year, the route is different. We’ve got some challeng-ing stuff on Day one for the dirt bikes and Gil has included some “hero” loops for you A riders. Here’s a hint for you seasoned LA-B-to-Vers…….water on Day two!
We’re running the Adventure Bike route this year and it’s totally sepa-rate from the Dual Sport, or what’s considered the dirt bike, route. The Adventure Bike route will be graded dirt roads and some back-country two-lane blacktop. Dave Tonkiss, LA-B-to-V’s Coordinator for many years, picked some of his fa-vorite, seldom used, off-the-beaten-path routes. You could do the Ad-venture Bike route on any two-wheeled machine. So if you want to get your V-Strom a little dirty, come on out.
As I write this I can still hear the echo of tonight’s newscast. The economy is in a meltdown, gas prices are still high, home prices are falling, election rhetoric is increas-ing, and that’s just on our soil. I bet we all have a lot more on our plate this year than a few years ago. I have friends that are reading this newsletter that have been stung by the economic woes we’re facing. We’re all feeling it to some degree.
What better time than to go out to your garage, do a lil’ cleaning and maintenance on the dual sport bike, and go for a ride? You still have time to do this year’s LA-B-to-V and you can walk up and register the day of the event!
If you don’t make this ride, pick an-other one on the calendar. It’s as fun as you remember and, if you’re at all like me, once you’re out there following a rollchart you don’t think about much else (unless you’re rid-ing partner is Julie, but that’s an-other topic!).
See you on November 28th!

From the Sweep Guru Calling all Dual Sporters,
By now you have been bombarded with what to carry on your bike in the way of tools, food, and what to and what not to wear when doing LA-B-to-V. Well, how about some advice from a guy who is coming up on his tenth year of being involved, and the “Head Sweep Dude”?
There is one item you cannot carry enough of, and you use it all day. What is this item? It is called “TIME”. Time is the biggest obstacle you face during this event. If you do not manage it, you will run out of it. LA-B-to-V is a great social event, and we all get caught up in the “How have you been all year?” talks at resets. Daylight is at a premium this time of year, and nobody likes com-ing in after dark, including my SWEEP riders, who make it their duty to make sure everyone gets in safely.
So if you have had a problem during the day, like a flat tire or mechanical issue, or just needed to catch up with
some old friends, that is fine. But keep in mind that you may need to make some route decisions and take a “Bail” to the next section. Or take the “Easy” section to the next cool “Hard” section. Just manage your time.
So as you are packing that fanny pack, fender bag, and backpack, pack a little more time management in. And just remember to use it throughout the day.
See you on the trail!

<Hints: Use only heavy duty tubes in your tires (but carry a lightweight spare tube) and don’t start a ride with bald tires.
Use ingenuity. Attach items to your bike to get the weight off you—like zip-ties attached to a front fork, safety wire attached inside a hand guard, tire pump attached to rear fender. Attach a spare throttle or clutch cable alongside the one on the bike.
Use a number plate bag to carry light-weight items you need quickly, like a camera, Powergels, tissues, etc.
Put tire-related items in the front fender bag and heavier stuff like tools/miscellaneous items in the rear fender bag. Avoid losing fender bags by drill-ing holes in fenders and zip tie the hooks on the straps to the fender.
Find items that will serve two pur-poses, like a tire iron with an axle wrench on the other end.
Where to Buy these Items: Not all dual sport items are easy to locate. Roll chart holders are available from Flanders Co. in Pasadena or Chaparral Motorsports in San Bernar-dino. Rain gear is available at Chapar-ral too. RockyMountainATV.com has a catalog filled with useful items, as
does Chaparralmotorsports.com.
The dual sport Moose Racing fender packs attach easily to the fenders without a lot of adjusting. You can get to and put away the contents quickly and easily. Find them at mooseracing.com. Spray Scotchgard on fender bags for waterproofing.
Instead of spending extra money on a number plate bag, attach a durable fanny pack to your number plate. Fanny packs are less expensive and available in different sizes from dis-count and sporting goods stores.
Check out the line of lightweight and multi-purpose tools made by Motion-Pro. They now make an aluminum chain breaker. See motionpro.com.
Sporting goods stores are a good source for energy foods, survival gear, lights, backpacks, water bladders,waterproof/breathable jackets, maps, and other gadgets. Some have a gen-erous return policy if you’re not 100% satisfied. Try discount stores like Wal-Mart too.
You now have enough information to
get started. Any questions? Ask us. 9 We dual sport officers are happy to help. We’ll see you out on the trail! ~ ~ ~

The SPOT- Satellite Messenger with GPS Tracking works where cell phones can’t and communi-cates like GPS devices can’t. It gives those you love peace of mind the next time you head out on an off-road ride.
I have used this unit for over a year. The fact I can always get
a note out to my wife such as... “I’m doing fine”, “On schedule”, or “Love ya” at any D-37 event is a great peace of mind for her. Another big plus is the 911 call-out feature, which may one day help me or a fellow rider in a life-threatening event. It’s really a must-have if you spend time in remote locations like we do.
Here’s how it works. The SPOT GPS personal track-ing system allows folks to follow your progress with Google Earth. They can locate you at any time and under different conditions ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD! 9
The Spot-What is it and what does it do?
You have four choices to notify them, depending on your level of need:
1. JUST CHECKING IN - For example, “I’m doing fine”, “Having a great time”, “All is well”, etc. It sends your current location with GPS info.
2. TRACKING - 24 hour GPS tracking informa-tion sent out every 10 minutes to friends and family who then can go online and follow your progress on the Google Earth website. Travel information can be saved for later viewing.
3. HELP - Request help from friends and fam-ily. For example: “I’m out of gas”, “Broken bike”, “Rider down”, etc. These are nonlife-threatening messages.
4. 911 - Sends out a distress call every five min-utes to 911 emergency responders which will, in turn, notify local emergency responders in your current area.
To learn more about Spot, go to findmespot.com or contact me at the info listed below. ~ ~ ~

Two-way radio communications have come a long way in the last few years and rider-to-rider commu-nication systems are no exception. The ability to communicate with another rider or your whole rid-ing party is not only a ton of fun but means a more flowing ride with less stops and starts, not getting separated from your group, and a much safer day of riding. Having the ability to ride at speed and safely communicate with other riders about current conditions, a direction change, a rider down, or in my case, how good that cheeseburger and cold drink is going to be... is really what it’s all about!
There was a time when you had to fork out big BUCKS for a system (over $400) that worked well.
But with the cur-rent generation of flex-boom noise canceling mics, helmet kits, and a good 5 watt GMRS/FRS radio, you’re look-ing at less than $140 for a complete system that works great (shown above).
Some key features to look for include:
• High quality noise-canceling mic on a flex boom
• Quality speakers that mount easily inside your helmet and can be removed during washing
• Waterproof roof handle-mount push-to-talk with a quick disconnect for that "get-off"
• Good quality 5 watt radio (UHF or VHF).
One other thought is to outfit the youngsters with a system that can be called on not only from an-other rider but from camp at the end of the day.
It’s all about playing hard and being safe! ~ ~ ~

Valley area and found what they were looking for in the Breckenridge Forest Dis-trict. The start was moved from Jawbone Canyon to Wofford Heights. In addition to the Saturday night steak dinner at the Elk’s Lodge there was also a breakfast at the Elk’s Lodge on Sun-day morning.
In my opinion this was the best Alpine trails ride that I have done (my eighth!). This area is a great hub to ride out of with campgrounds, restaurants, gas stations, motels, a lake, and a river and no crowds or traffic. The start/finish in one location eliminates many logisti-cal issues and there are plentiful riding trails right out of town. Thanks to the volunteers at the Elk’s Lodge the dinner and breakfast were excellent. The Reming-ton trail, Bull Run trail, the Manzanita tunnels, and the goat trails overlooking the Kern River were very chal-lenging and incredibly scenic. The fun single tracks up by the ski resort were epic Colorado-quality trails. My hat or helmet is off to Mike, Dyrck, and Harold of the Chaparrals M.C. for salvaging the ride after the fire and making it even better than last year’s. Z
Chaparrals MC’s ‘Alpine Trails’
By Gil Busick
The Chaparrals Motorcycle Club’s annual Alpine Trails dual sport ride typically starts at Jawbone Canyon and traverses through the Sequoia National Forest’s Piute Mountains area to Lake Isabella for lunch and gas before returning to Jawbone Canyon. It is always a favorite ride for the hard-core riders that enjoy technical single track in the Piutes and don’t mind the dry camping at the start.
Last year they made several major changes to the format with the idea to make a good ride even better. The ride date moved from traditionally early June to late September to avoid late-season snow problems. The ride was also changed from a one day ride to a two day ride with an overnight hotel stay in Wofford Heights. A steak dinner banquet at the Wofford Heights Elk’s lodge was a well-received change to the usual no-frills format. By making it a two day ride they were able to include even more epic single track trails by using the Greenhorn Forest district as well as the usual Piutes area.
This year the plan was for a format like the 2007 ride. Then the Piute Mountains were struck by a devastating forest fire that burned for several weeks over the summer. The Forest Service enacted an emergency closure of the burn areas which effec-tively closed the trails that are used to get to the Kern River Valley from Jawbone Canyon. The ride was seriously in jeopardy of being cancelled. The
Chaparrals M.C. decided that canceling the ride would not be an option and went to work reworking the format once again. They searched out additional trails in the Kern River

AdMo-Tours...Rides,Training, and Tours Have you ever dreamed of visiting the Caribbean……..on a dirt bike?! How about riding Copper Canyon, Colo-rado, or the Grand Canyon? AdMo-Tours can make your dreams come true.
At AdMo-Tours, flexibility is the key to their success. I found that out re-cently when I stopped by their offices in Wrightwood for a visit..
Uwe Diemer started Admo-Tours ten years ago. After moving from Switzer-land to the U.S., he settled down in Wrightwood. He soon became friends with Ed Waldheim and learned about the permit process for rides. Uwe has a good relationship with the BLM and gets permits for all his rides and tours.
Uwe offers his customers three things: rides, tours, and motorcycle training. He caters to what the riders want, and has found flexibility is im-portant for customer satisfaction.
Have you ever had friends or family visit from out of state and wish you could take them riding? However, they were unable to bring their bikes with them. (If only airplanes allowed dirt bikes as checked luggage!)
AdMo-Tours offers half day or one day rides, which are round trip. They’ll even supply the bikes and rid-ing gear! Uwe has the following bikes available for his tours and rides: KTM450EXCs, CRF230Fs, DRZ400s, and TTR125s.
Admo’s tours, which are offered in international locations and the Southwestern U.S., make everything
easy for you. AdMo-Tours puts to-gether a specialized dual sport ride or tours to meet your needs and re-quirements. The groups are small but, if you prefer, they can take you on a privately guided tour. The possi-bilities are limitless! Whether dirt bike riding is just an occasional hobby or you are an enthusiast, their staff will adjust the ride or tour to meet your needs.
These are guided tours where you follow a leader, you don’t need roll charts or a GPS. Everything from gas, lodging, and routes is handled for you. Tours are customized according to the time of year and weather and also the skill level of the rider.
Admo-Tours offers dirt bike training too. Whether you want to become a better rider, learn how to read a roll chart, use GPS, or handle bike main-tenance on the trail, Admo-Tours has a class for you.
AdMo-Tours has ten employees, four of whom are full time. When I was at their offices, a mechanic was busy keeping the bikes in tip-top shape. I was impressed to see that all the gear, including boots, gloves, chest protectors, and helmet liners are washed after each ride. The above gear had just been cleaned by an-other employee and was hanging outside drying!
So if you want to fulfill that dream of yours of taking a tour, go riding with your friends and family for a day with all the details handled, or need train-ing to become a better rider or more familiar with your equipment, call AdMo-Tours. They’ll customize some-thing special for you! ~ ~ ~
