    Motorcyclist killed in Encinitas

    just watched it, its obvious who was at fault unless the bike was in the triple digits of speed. I log 10s of thousands of miles a year on the road across this country and others and this is the killer I see all the time the infamous left turn! accidents are assigned percentages of fault and some lies with the biker if it is determined he was speeding or exhibition of speed but it will be a small percentage in this case I believe. This appears to be an accident and the deputy just didn't see him, no police officer wants to intentionally crash into another vehicle especially causing death, just a very sad situation and everyone will pay the price for what happened one with his life.

    Lark - Mc Cain

    great riding area. I want to thank fargoin for showing up and giving us a lay of the land, a lot different riding than Im used to out in the open desert but it was a lot of fun.
  3. We were going to ride desert tomorrow but my brother wants to ride in a cooler climate, is anyone riding or wants to ride lark or mc cain or both tomorrow? I am not familiar with this area and a knowledgeable person would help, he is meeting me at lark at 0900 tomorrow (sat) so if anyones interested let me know. Thanks.

    yes main staging area if I can find it. I will be there by 0830 but my brother wont arrive until 9
  6. buttercup Friday, Saturday, atvs and bikes, will post it up, toyhauler with ac will be present!
  7. We will be doing an early morning ride on this wed june 20th (tomorrow) ride begins at xmas circle at 0730 and ends back in Borrego between 1-3 for a late lunch. We will be running to ocotillo wells then into fish creek up arroyo seco diablo to ocotillo then back plaster city to ow and then Borrego. A real hot lap! bikes must be plated bring tubes tools and plenty of water, water and fuel will be replenished at ocotillo and then a very fast ride back the tracks (deep sand for about 2 miles)from plaster city. Expect a high of 100 degrees by noon but nice in the morning and peaking at 110 by 2 or 3, make sure your bike is in good condition and able to deal with the heat of the day (you too) pm me if your showing so we can look for you.
  8. im going to look into that since I ride all summer.
  9. Bags, "you wont get the purple heart hiding in a foxhole", just messing with you! it was damn hot out here by 10 am and the bike didn't even like it!
  10. One of my long blabby ride reports! left Borrego at 0735 moved up fish creek to arroyo seco then out the other side to ocotillo got gas then onto plaster city and back to ow the tracks, arrive Borrego 1130 so I would say it was a hot lap! sand is way worse than ever by tracks now very deep and soft and in 2 spots now, bike got pretty hot blazing through and radiator was burning my right leg, the hop ups on the wr worked great and I love this bike, it will be hard to get off it in sept when the cr arrives.

    The Wave

    can we stop this! Ive been driving and building jeeps for many years for myself and others and we had the jeep wave which drove me crazy, total strangers who don't know each other who wave like they were long lost cousins, then came on road bikes and the torment continued, now its the new vette thing, I can live with the jeep and the vette but the bike wave bugs the hell out of me when Im in a tight turn on Montezuma grade and im moving and a guy on a Harley going 2.5 miles per hour and in total control waves at me and expects me to wave back. I want to invent a rubber hand that attaches to my left grip so I don't have to wave anymore in tight situations, what you think? just a little rant.

    South Bay Motorsports Sold

    I never bought anything there because I could never get an OTD price out of them without spending hours there so they could wear me down, hopefully it will be better with the new owners and I will give it another chance.
