@soul - Johnson Valley. Amazingly there was an 848 parked in the lot of the pub. He must have ridden down at least a mile of Sandy dirt road to get there. Puckering.
Chak, kind of - Johnson Valley is completely open riding and it's massive. Like size of a couple of counties massive. You can point and go but the terrain is very varied - from dunes to extremely sharp lava / Rock sections. The main problem is running into something you can't get back out.
I got stuck for a bit in some seriously gnarly rock sections and turned around by a (wet) and super gloopy dry lake bed that I nearly sank up to the axles in!
I probably won't strat out quite as far next time if I'm on my own.
Oh and I hit a GPS clocked 70mph jump on one of the dirt roads back to where I staying. Total accident. Looked down at the GPS, looked up. Oh shit! Fortunately remembered to grip and stay on the gas - flew a bloody long way though. Lots of nervous laughter after that... :)
