So I have signed up for a Death Valley ride when I am in Vegas for my honeymoon (believe it or not the wife suggested it). Link here:

The info I got was they provide full gear and Ktm 525s or a KX 500. (ahhh kinda good powerful hardware).
I am thinking of riding the KTM if I have a choice, since I know the Kx will be a real handfull. Problem is, I am a short bastard and both the KTMs and KX's are quite tall (I have a feeeling the KX will be shorter, but I am not a fan of hot starting a KX500 on a hill.).
Anyone done this? Seems pretty cool. Trail riding with stops at old off road race tracks. I scheduled the trip towards the end of our trip just in case I do something stupid and break a bone or kill myself.
