DeserViper;

Is that were you ride. Oh my God are you ever lucky that is just beautiful. That looks so sharp with the SE in the front and that beautiful background. If I was you I would blow that up and put it in a picture frame.

I finally put the BigHorns on my SE and let me tell you they look sweet and the ride is unbelievable . Now I need to learn how to upload pictures ..... :-)

That picture is in my back yard. I can ride to that spot from my house without loading my ATV into the truck, and can be there in about fifteen minutes of spirited riding. Here is another shot from the same place:

And speaking about Bighorn tires... Remember earlier in this post when I said I would be running the Bighorns on the Rhino for a desert race I was going to be in. Well, here is a picture of the Rhino about 1/4 of the way through the race:

And here is why the Rhino ended up with a DNF: a 4" tear in the sidewall of a Bighorn tire, and a broken tie rod. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] You can see the skid marks on the floor where we backed the Rhino into the garage with the broken tie rod and flat tire. I had to drive the Rhino 10 miles with the front end in that condition to get back to the pit area in the desert race. I'm now an expert at driving with one wheel steering. I think I jinxed myself on this one.

Man, sounds like you have a lot to be thankful for- where you live and the cool toys.

I guess I'd be a little hard pressed about blaming the tire, in that I doubt there's a tire that could reliably survive being smacked into something hard enough to break a tie rod.

Anyway, cool photos, and hopefully you had fun in the race anyway.

Here's another picture from about a mile east and 3 miles north of my house.

Summer riding

And here is a picture of our winter riding area.

Winter riding

The scenery changes pretty fast around here, which is in southern Utah. The house is at the foothill of Cedar Mountain, at about 6000 ft. elevation. Its nice because I can almost always find good riding weather. In the summer I go up into the mountains where it is nice and cool at 10,000 ft elevation. In spring and fall we ride in the high desert. And in winter it is just a fifty mile drive to the low desert at 2000 ft elevation. We can have a foot of snow outside the house, and it can be below zero, but in an hours drive it is warm and sunny with no snow.
