Tremor Sightings

[The_Devinator]

You haven't seen me brother I am in Merton!

I’m right down the road from you. If you see a Race Red Lariat with BAP, that’ll be me

Funny to see one one parking spot over from mine that looks almost the same…

Looks like the poor guy in the middle is setting themselves up for the Malachi Crunch (anyone remember that??:

Saw this Tremor on I-70 near Idaho Springs today. The Chrome delete looks fantastic in my opinion. Not sure if this is from a member, but if it is - great job, man!!

 

[Devil's Advocate]

Saw a nice 2023 F350 silver Tremor with Cirrus truck camper plates Virginia at the KOA in Homer, AK. Was hoping to run into the owner, but alas did not see them.

DA

Just got back from running the CO BDR, I must have seen two dozen SD Tremors out there. Between the F150 Tremor and the SD variant I bet I saw over 50 Tremors in six days and mostly on forest roads or in and around the San Juans.

Would love to hear more about this! Route and timing start to finish.

We cut off the four corners to Dolores section of Day 1, that saved 60 something miles of slabbing dirt bikes on a rather boring section of mostly asphalt. After covering those miles when I did it a few years back I realized it wasn't worth wasting our time on. We rode from Dolores to Telluride via the San Juan NF to cover the remainder of Day 1, we were there before lunch and then we ran up Ophir Pass with a lunch stop in Silverton followed by Corkscrew, Hurricane, California and Cinnamon Passes into Lake City to close out day 1 totaling 160-ish miles. By the BDR this covered both Days 1 and 2 in our first day. Day 2 (150 miles) was Lake City up to Buena Vista through Gunnison NF with stops in Pitkin for lunch and Tin Cup that afternoon for a break. We tooled around in Taylor Park at the OHV area before crossing Cottonwood Pass into down into BV. The highlight of this day was the single track in the hills near Sawtooth Mountain.

Day 3 took us from BV to Gypsum/Eagle with lunch in Leadville and Haggerman Pass as the highlight of the day. This day covered 140 miles and was rather brutal on my buddy riding his GSA, he incurred some damage to both his bike and his ego haha. We ended up staying to the west in the tiny community of Dotsero and took out via the River Road the next morning. Day 4 was the shortest of the trip covering only 120 miles up to Steamboat Springs of which we completed by noon after our 0730 departure. There wasn't much of anything notable or challenging on the route to SBP, mostly just scenic riding alongside of the Colorado River and around Gore Pass. After lunch in Steamboat we rode up to Hahn's Peak and back (another 80-ish miles) that afternoon to mostly complete and appease Day 6 of the CO BDR which takes you to the Wyoming border. I have done this section in my previous CO BDR travels and it's not worth your time IMHO hence why we rode up and back to the peak to suffice. If you plan to continue on into the WY BDR then you will run this section in full to finish at the border in order to start Day 1 of the WY BDR.

On the return trip to Dolores we broke it down into two days, the first of which (Day 5) covered 230 miles down to Grand Junction via the White River NF with lunch in Silt, Co along the I70 corridor. The afternoon took us to Grand Mesa past Powderhorn where we dropped into GJ via the Lands End Overlook. They looked to be setting up for an off-road race up the switchbacks of the Lands End overlook when we were on our way down, it was cool to see all of the wild off-road racers prepping at the base of the bluff. Day 6 covered 183 miles from GJ back to Dolores. We took out at 0630 to beat the heat of the high desert and popped up into the Uncompaghre Forest via the Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Area. This was a rather fast and flowy day with lots of beautiful scenery which was a nice way to end the ride. We were back in Dolores by 1130 where we loaded up the bikes, grabbed lunch and started heading home via Santa Fe, NM.

This marked my third time to run the CO BDR and that's why I chose to condense Days 1 and 6. Thanks to my prior trips on this particular BDR I knew where we could trim the fat and save some time on sections where the juice just isn't worth the squeeze. Gypsum to Steamboat (BDR Day 5) isn't a very exciting section either and IMHO is another day that could be eliminated by those looking to cut time. I'd be inclined to run over to Grand Junction from Gypsum and cut out all of Days 5 and 6 on the BDR if short on time.

I have a ton of pics and GPX files if you are interested but I'd rather not clog up the thread here with all of that seeing how it's not directly related to the subject matter.

If you started a thread to post your GPX files, I wouldn't be mad.

 

[Chris-DTA]

I second that . I have plans for several BDR routes here in the West, so this would be a fantastic head start.

 

[Mister Bevilaqua]

I’ll start a GPX file thread here in the next few days.

Great recap and glad you guys had a successful trip.

Spent a week on Brevort Lake in the UP and spotted this rig all alone at the launch when pulling one of our boats out of the water Saturday night (yesterday).

Anyone here? ... and more importantly, catch anything?

Coincidentally, we pulled a second boat this morning from the other launch on the same lake and saw a lone F150 Tremor at that one...

 

[TexanTremor]

Unplanned Tremor meetup at a small mexican restaurant in Prosper, TX today. 3 SD Tremors in the tiny lot and another F150 Tremor showed up later.

 

[Cuervo]

I have been on the road since August 2nd, Washington state—> Idaho—> Montana to South Southeast South Dakota, back to Rushmore, then Wyoming, to YellowStone, back into Montana tomorrow Idaho and Home.

 

[KR3]

Saw this one on I-5 near Stockton,CA. Nice F250 pulling an Airstream.

 

[pickleknuckles]

Found this guy at one of our field offices in Waterman/Illiopolis, IL back in September.

Sorry this one's not a great angle. "Faux" tremor at the pump. I wish I could've had time to talk to him. F350 CCLB with tremor decals, BAP I'm guessing Lariat. Morimoto tail lights, had stockish size looking duratracs on the black 20's
If I ever see him again I'll tell him he must join this forum in order to wear the decals

What gave him away as a poser’?


I’m in SoCal for the week and have seen quite a few running around. I’ll grab some pics when I can. They seem to run around like they are being chased down here!

No Tremor comes with an 8' box
