2025 Pashnit Touring on a Hayabusa
Randy & Xavier
You wouldn't know it, but Cathy is one my most senior Pashnit Tour alumni, she's been riding with Pashnit Motorcycle Tours for nearly 20 years, since 2006. She started riding dirtbikes as a teenager & is still riding 50 years later.
We've ridden a lot of touring miles together.

Check this out. High of 72... in the desert. It was 129 degrees last year in summer of 2024, one of the hottest places on earth. But not today.
Best weather we've ever had in our yearly visits to Death Valley.
Nobody moves without coffee first. I'm not a coffee drinker, but my riders are.

If you look closely, the bikes kick up sand contrails, it's the weirdest thing to see. Sand storms are normal here and it deposits a dusting of sand on everything - including the road.
Death Valley is just that, a wide valley between two north-south ranges, but the valley is 140 miles long(!) - lot of space out here. The valley itself runs 5 to 15 miles wide between these two ranges.

Imagine the sound and shockwave that created that crater. The weather was sure good to you guys. It’s snowed two nights in a row here and rained when it wasn’t snowing right where you passed thru heading south. Supposed to clear up below 3,000’ for the weekend though.

A few years ago, we stopped by Furnace Creek in Death Valley, the fuel sign for diesel listed the cost at 9.99. I think that's as high as the sign would go. Cheaper this time around, but we are in the middle of the desert and Desert Rules require a quick topping off the tanks. Distances are vast in the desert.
Top off when you can in the desert
Few years ago - same spot
