Joshua Tree Ride Report: 1 Hawk, 7 VFR's

We don't seem to get a lot of ride reports on this board, so I thought I would post up a ride that I organized for VFRD.

We did have 1 Superhawk rider, but it wasn't me.
Hope it still counts!

Anyway, here is a copy of my post from VFRD. Enjoy!!

We started off our day in Banning, with 8 riders attending:
Jerry (JBAXX) on my VFR, Sorry!!
Andrew (Third Echelon) representing Superhawkforum!!!
Michael (Michaelf3)
Alan (shakey654)
Kelly (HighSpeedWobble)
Brian (Spike)
Matt (AmbitiousbutRubbish)
Vincent (Jokerros)

Everyone was on time, so we made our way out to Yucca Valley for some breakfast, then off to the park.

Hidden valley - cattle rustlers are said to have hidden cattle in behind the rocks in this area

What a coincidence, my wife and I were in Joshua Tree last Thursday. My first time there, but my wife climbed there a lot in the '70s when it was all dirt roads. We just did some scrambling on the rocks, since I'm afraid of heights/exposure.

That's a bit of a ride from Anaheim. It took us about 2 1/2 hours driving to get there. We saw a bunch of Harleys and one sportbike inside the Park. Hope you found a better breakfast spot than we did.

VFR was definitely the way to go for that distance. We logged over 330 miles on our Tacoma.

It's about a 300 mile round trip from Anaheim, but it was no problem at all, as we took plenty of breaks. Coulda' done it on the Hawk easy!

I have been to Joshua Tree a few times, always wished I was on a motorcycle when I was there. Very cool place to visit.
