Since it finally warmed up here in AZ(78f), thought I better hit the trails! We headed out to Harquahala Observatory just west of Phx. A 10 mile fire road/gong show that climbs 3000'. Plenty of rocks and boulders etc. Only binned it twice.
Having a look at the H&B crash bars I've found a flaw. The clutch cover sticks way past the bars. Put a nice gouge in the cover.
Also bent the brake pedal completely 180.....
Anyways good day for riding. Defo have to practice my manouvering of this whale!

Interested to hear your opinions on how the Steamer and the XC compare off road, haven't taken either of mine on more than hard pack.
Great pics, thanks for sharing them with us. Similar scenery to here in Andalucia, Spain, but we dont have rattle snakes thank God !! I once drove the road from Apache Juntion to Globe(in a car) fantastic countryside, very rugged, I live near to a place called Tabernas, its the ONLY official desert in Europe, they filmed a lot of spaghetti westerns here in the 60's, fist full of dollars, the magnificent 7 etc, heres a taste of the scenery here. Great twisties.

I know they both have a high center of gravity and top heavy with a full tank on the Steamer. Defo need to be standing more on the rough stuff and just giver!
They have about the same seat height. I use the stock seat for offroad so I can flat foot it. Corbin for on road.
On the way back I was getting a pretty good wobble at 85-90mph. No wobbles on the way there though?
Great pic of the the road in Spain Spanglish!
Great picture HH! Still plenty of space left in America. :hat10
