I'm a long time dirt rider and after 51 years, I'm aging out, and have decided I should voluntarily retire before I get hurt (again, but many years ago). A friend invited me to the SxS rally in Hurricane, Utah last November. This was perfect timing and showed me that SxSs would be the perfect replacement for my dirt bikes. I bought a '20 Talon and had to wait an extra week for backordered parts (shipping damage). I just picked it up today and I'm running around like a kid on Christmas morning.
I got invited to Lake Powell, Utah in 1972 and have been back to the desert southwest almost every year since - I swear I have red sandstone in my DNA helix. I'm usually solo and riding a motorcycle alone in the backcountry, this late in life is downright foolish, so here I am. This should keep me exploring the desert for the rest of my life. I'm also headed to Alaska in June and the Talon will be with me, doG willing and the creek don't rise.
I have 84" between the corner of the garage and the retaining wall, so trailer width was limited. The Echo Elite EE-14-14 is 82" wide (with 14" tires), making it too narrow to drive between the fenders. This is how I fixed the issue. The rear is steeper so I could pull up tight to the fenders, assuring sufficient tongue weight. Hope to meet some of you in the desert.
