sly, i do have pics of the trip. however, work piled up on me while i was playing in the dunes. i work nightshift tru the weekend so ill try to post some pics in a few days. the bike was running great and had lots of power but as i said earlier the gearing was obviously wrong. good thing i carried a bottle of h2o in my pack. by the way,i failed to mention that i weigh 210 lbs. thats alot o beef for a bike to haul around. oh well, wasnt to bad for her maiden dune voyage. many more in the future for my k5.
