[QUOTE="DT Rider, post: 602797, member: 18384"] Finally found this thread thanks to another rider, and I would like to say I too was very sorry to hear about the mishap (bike and personal pain). The photos tell it all...goodness. Thanks for sharing. I can't imagine that much mud and an FJR. I did ride dirt bikes but 40 years ago...LOL And I'm not sure I would have tried that. But then I am only 5000 miles into getting to know my FJR and I wouldn't take it places I would take my Royal Star, because of that. You did pretty good getting as far and back as you did on that road. To let others know that asked on the road to Owyhee... it is paved all the way to the dam and then some, even up above a little, to a view point. It is a beautiful dam and has a glory hole. Just be careful going the last stretch to the dam and it's blind conrers for oncoming down hill traffic. The campers and trucks take their side out of the middle and there is no shoulder. The route is pretty simple. to the dam ... map it... ignore the GPS...LOL Also as you mentioned, there are tips on the roads to all the dams either on the dam pages themselves or in the forum ride reports. Check em out before you ride. Take care of yourself... heal quickly and ride again. DT Rider - 9002 PS... We have an excellent painter here local that does great work as well as custom paint jobs and design... [URL="https://www.johnsonab.com"]Johnson Auto Body[/URL]. When you get to that part. [/QUOTE]
