mnTwin Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 The brothers MN are in. I'm trying to come up with a plan to get my new-to-me wr250r there. I think it's too big to be a carry-on? P1050431 by mnTwin, on Flickr I might have to ride it there! Link to comment

BrianT Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I'm IN. Hopefully with a desert rat I haven't seen in a year, currently inhabiting Idaho. I think this is #29 if my math is right. Fall of 2001 was officially Torrey #2 and the first public Torrey. #1 was a small select group of the founding fathers of this website exploring the area to see if it was worthy and not publicized.

eddd Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I'll be there if I'm able to make the grueling 200 mile trip. As usual I have the toy hauler and will be staying at the Sand Creek RV Park. I'm still trying to decide exactly what toys will come along, but the CBR900RR will be one of them along with one of my dual sports...and maybe the ATV? Link to comment

I've previously done some other searches, all with consistent numbering. I've found two references to Torrey V being in Spring 2003. And I believe that if Fall '01 was Torrey II, that is also consistent. If we're off, we've been off for a very long time, because everything I can find is consistent with this being XXX.

I'm going to try to work on the fuel capacity problem too. Here's one idea, I think it's mounted to the bars (WR250X). With a seat and a windshield you can make almost anything comfortable.

99RT-P Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I'll be passing through Torrey briefly that weekend. I should get in Friday evening, and head out Saturday morning travelling north to WY, ID, MT, and wherever else I can squeeze into my days off. I've spent several nights in Torrey in the past few years, but the last time I actually attended a BMWST Torrey was Fall '08. I'll stop by the Chuckwagon for provisions and see if I recognize anyone. I'll be riding my FJR1300, however. The trusty old RT-P gets to stay home this time. The Chuckwagon, Boulder View, and Capitol Reef Inn are all booked up. I'll be at the Days Inn, unfortunately. A bit too far to walk to Café Diablo. Link to comment

Across the street from the Boulder View. That's good to know. I saw the Saddlery while under construction a couple of years ago, and then on a later Torrey/Boulder View layover the place was closed the night I was in town. Maybe I'll get to check it out this year. The Broken Spur on the hill above the Days Inn is a much better hotel. The Broken Spur was booked up a few weeks ago when I checked and ended up reserving the Days Inn. A few hours ago, I checked the Spur again...they must have had some cancellations, because they had two rooms available! I quickly booked one, and I'll cancel my Days Inn reservation tomorrow. The Chuckwagon and B.V. are still booked, of course. Link to comment
