  1. Looking forward to riding tomorrow morning with Udo and crew.
  2. I am. Should I bring the 450 or the 901?
  3. Have been rocking the 450  a bit as of late.  It's so much fun.  Went out again this morning to get a few hours in on Otay Mtn with a friend before the heat hit.

    My ride buddy today told me about his "trouble" last Wednesday though.  But I'll start with my experiences last Sunday.

    Last Sunday I took my visiting son out to show him the border wall.  We switched into Adventure mode at Pio Pico and as luck would have it there was a BP just opening the gate as we pulled up.  He was cordial as always, but warned the gate would be locked when we returned to wich I said "no worries", we were going out via the gun club road.  Encountered 6 or 8 BP rigs along the way, and all were friendly as is typical.

    View from the Otay Towers up top looking west toward the ocean ...  look at those islands in the sky below us.

    Saw 4 more BP jeeps/trucks so far in this short ride.  All friendly.

    Onward toward Tecate, then Campo.

    Nothing unusual, all good and friendly.

    Fast forward 3 days to Wednesday and my friend rode the wall between the west entrance of Otay TT and Marron Valley and out at Barrett Junction.

    He was stopped 8 times by BP, all with angry attitudes, some blocking the road with their trucks, and threats of fines up to $1000.  Even though he was allowed to proceed "this time", He was eventually detained and waited for a captain to arrive and was then escorted out to the highway.  My friend is not a jerk.  He's polite and considerate like most of us are.  So I don't blame him for the negative encounters even though I wasn't there.

    This is a pretty dramatic change from years past ... even from as late as Sunday morning.

    I'm just saying, I plan to stay off the wall, at least for now and until I hear further from BP.

    Soooooo, today we just hit up a bunch of trails on Otay that we've never explored before.  There's some good stuff up there!  We encountered 1 BP near the Pink Gate but didn't stop to talk.  In hind sight, I wish I would have.

    Temps weren't horrible as we hit dirt at 8am and ended back at HY94 around 11:30.

     

  4. Cool. Ill be there at opening bell.
  5. Typically theres gear of all makes and types at these events at BMW. I plan to clean out my garage and attend this. Join me at SWAP MEET San Diego BMW Motorcycles / BMWOCSD https://meetu.ps/e/PdJLx/10Sp2/i
  6. This week is tough. But i can likely join up for various attempts. I miss 2 fer T as well.
  7. OnX is a really good app and full of trail information. But it doesnt share tracks easily with non- OnX units or users. I run a Garmin (Tread) as my primary and sometimes run OnX on my phone in parallel when Im exploring.
  8. Looks wonderful up there. Glad to see you getting out and claiming new territory!! Best wishes from the hot desert down here.
  9. Withdrawn from sale, for now.
  10. I cant make it to Ramona today but would like to come ride with you later, maybe Friday?

    Smaller Toy Box Camper Trailer

    Nice rig! Its exactly what my plan B was if my wife didnt “take” to trailer travel. we just finished a 3 week trip in our 23’ camper trailer and she is 2 thumbs up. So I wont be downsizing otherwise Id be all over this. GLWS!
  12. LOL, glad you got to ride again brother!
  13. Hi Jeff, you sound like my-kinda-rider! Theres a few folks here that could become good ride partners with you and I suggest a couple things. 1. post up day rides here as often as you can with an open invitation to join you. You plan it, take a few pics along the way and post up a brief ride report with pics after. Pretty soon someone will see a ride that works for them and join you. 2. post the same on the groups Facebook page cheers!
  14. Wish i could help but am traveling.
