Wow!! What a beautiful area, kowen! Looks like I'm gonna have to go visit Utah now......

By the way (and I don't mean to threadjack).... so that Richard Losee cat totaled his Enzo out there somewhere? I didn't know who he was, so I googled him and all that came up were pics and stories of his busted up Enzo on some Utah road..... lol.
Man, I bet that sucked....
Said they flew him to the hospital in Provo with a couple broken bones.

If you're looking for scenery, Utah definitely has plenty of it.

I had heard that one of Losee's friends crashed it on the Miller Motorsports track (Larry Miller, late owner of the Utah Jazz). Didn't realize that it was Losee himself crashing it on the open road. I wonder if that has anything to do with the businesses closing down.

Edit: Let me know if you ever do make it out here. I'll show you some good roads.

Yeah, apparently he crashed it only doing like 100mph, too. I guess the problem was that the road was dipped, and not quite ideal for an event like that. Certainly a shame, tho. What an amazing car.

I certainly will.
So do you get many dual sport riders out there? I bet you do! That terrain looks perfect for my KLR650, too.

Yeah, I see a handful here and there. I've browsed ADVrider.com a bit and it seems like there's a lot of activity in Utah. I'd love a dual sport myself, but I have way too much stuff for student housing to handle as it is, not to mention my bank account.
