If anyone rides up we will be at the corkscrew by sunset each day (hopefully), yellow DR, red XR, CRF 450. alyeska -
Camping at furnace creek $18 a night and close to the corkscrew, riding and hiking the park, noob friendly riding, park is $20 to enter for 7 day permit. Plan on leaving my place at 9am on 2-15, riding with 2 other local friends but all are welcome. If interested let me know by 2/11 so I can book spaces together. alyeska

There is a plug at the circle but we will need permission to use it, I live about 900 ft from the circle so if you need to plug something into my garage let me know, I have a couple large coolers here also. alyeska

Would like to go but my bike still has the highway tires and sprockets from the tombstone run, probably wont be done til noon changing it back and that would be too late to get started, next time. alyeska -

Sounds like a good ride but I'll probably be having my first beverage in tombstone at that time. alyeska -
Bailouts on the Desert Dash
alyeska replied to CableJockey's topic in Upcoming Organized or Promoted Rides and Events
Cablejockey, get out here in the desert and do some riding before the dash, I will be back from tombstone by tues at the latest, if you want to do a weekend of riding I am usually always available to ride, and sometimes during the week ok to, you can camp out at my place if needed. alyeska -
If anyone is on the fence about going and doesnt want to ride all the way, I have someone with a fullsize truck thinking of coming along and hauling his bike and maybe a couple more. alyeska

Plan on heading out next week , not firm on date yet (business in escrow), thought I might post incase someone wanted to ride along we could figure out a good date for departure that would work for everyone. I Plan on riding to tombstone, but if you want to truck thats ok, (maybe split fuel if you want to haul) would like to ride area including bisbee and dragoons, try to go twice a year and know area pretty well. No hardcore riding,(my bikes gotta get me home!) more sightseeing, and having fun, plan on getting a room overlooking downtown this time, I normally tent camp but its pretty cold this time of year. alyeska

Smaller, Privately Owned Shops for Repair Work
alyeska replied to KTMrad's topic in Motorcycle Shops - Discussion
I do most of my work myself but if I have to use someone, a master does exist! Itami motorcycle repair in imperial beach on palm ave, his reputation is so good that he doesnt even have his store front door open, you have to call him before bringing stuff to his shop, its been a couple years since I have seen him but have known him 35 yrs when he was a kawasaki factory mechanic and know his shop is still in business since I have passed it several times this year. Prices have always been fair to me. alyeska -
I am looking for something that will make some noise if moved not so much the locking effect, I usually sleep as close to my bike as possible whether its motel or tent. I have never found a mounted alarm to be able to hold up to the off road abuse a dirt bike takes. alyeska

The engine work was done already when I got the bike along with the web cam he had stuck in, I got reciepts from him and he was a retired deputy so I hope he would'nt scam a brother. The bike does pull like my v strom so I think the work was actually done. alyeska

Had I known what this would have done to the performance of my bike I would not have hesitated to install it long ago. After my recent carb problems I finally decided to go with the tm 40, I do not regret it, my bike is so responsive, has no flat spots, will pull montezuma grade in 5th gear, and will idle down to nothing. In my 30+ yrs of riding I have never seen a carb so perfect in all aspects, the $500 for the kit hurt, but if feels pretty good today! alyeska

I want to go on the next one of these, I have not been on otay mtn in over 25 yrs, and can stay in san diego at the end of the day. alyeska -
Correction, the tombstone motel is 1 block over from downtown and is 49-59 single occupancy,I have stayed here and it is very nice and has a good pizza joint up front. The silver nugget is on allen street and is a B&B. Will be making my reservations tomorrow for the silver nugget. alyeska

Bike up and running good, will be dumping the knobbies and low gear sprockets this week for more 80mph friendly setup, since arizona is 75 and everyone runs 85-90 (hate the photo radar). Plan is to leave friday morning by 9am and be in tombstone before dark, get set up in room then hit the town, riding down to bisbee on sat. Plan on returning Monday morning and leaving no later than 10am for home. rooms close to town are: larian, bella union adobe lodge, and the tombstone motel(most expensive but has porch upstairs that looks down on allen st) I am not opposed to splitting a room with other riders (as long as you dont snore) alyeska
