We probably haven't said anything about the motor bikes we are riding. They are both made by KTM out of Austria. Doug is riding a EXC-F 350 road legal trail bike. And I'm riding at 990 Adventure Baja. It too is road legal, but is meant for off road. They both have nobby tires.
We ride mostly on dirt roads. Sometimes they are smooth and wide. Other times they are steep, rocky and uneven. Some are washed boarded, which we hate. Some are deeply rutted by rain and vehicles. Some are BLM or Forest Service roads, others are County roads. The dirt roads in New Mexico have clay and turn slippery when wet. The mud cakes on the bike and clogs eveything up. When it rains on the roads, it's best just to stop and wait until the road dries.
We rarely ride on higways and sometimes we use paved county roads as connectors to unpaved back country mountain roads.
