R9T Island Ride

[Ack-CB11_imp]

That's a lot of power for that island :-)
how often do you get to the main land to ride?

Hardly ever, it's tough for me to get away for more then a day.

Ack - any beaches on the island NOT off limits to motorcyles? Deep loose sand or packed dense sand?

Outlaw beach riding only for bikes.
By the book you need a $100 beach sticker from the Town Hall. You have to show your car registration.
All beaches are public, but no motorcycles, atv's, H1 Hummers or dogs allowed.
Police Hummer and ATV's excluded.
Most of the sand is real soft. You need at least AWD to get round and lower tire pressures are a must.
It's really more work then fun on a bike, unless you get close to the wave line. That's borrowed bike stuff, I'd come back with a rotted frame or something. I stick to the middle dirt roads and keep away from the edges. That picture is the closest to the beach I want to go.
All dirt roads out here have some sections on soft deep sand in them. The sand just stops you to 0 from 30. If I'm still upright I have to tractor my way out. That's when I love the knobbies and the low seat height. My HP2 was a alot better over here but it's seat was 37.5". I dropped that thing all the time. Very embarressing
