    I am. Should I bring the 450 or the 901?
  2. Zubb

    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.

    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.

    Zubb replied to AlphaOgre's topic in FOR SALE & Wanted To BUY

    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. Zubb
    LOL, glad you got to ride again brother!
  13. Zubb
    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!

    @kkug, if you have a thread somewhere that you’re posting pics and a trip report… Id love to see more of what you're doing.
  16. Zubb
    Yep.

    Heres the approximate now blocked K rails gap. For motorcycles- The normal gap in the K rails is now blocked. You can NO longer ride north up that street and jump into line there. However you can either ride along the wall and filter to the front of the line of cars, or just ride a few blocks east of the old K rails gap, and then cut north to the wall road, and find a K rails gap to enter there. Its still easy and quick. Just need to start a fee blocks east of the old gap.

    Last saturday, Crossing time North at Tecate was like 3 minutes for the truck. At 12:30pm on Saturday. I was pretty stoked to get back to Borrego by 3pm ….. instead of 9pm like in April (5pm arrival to the que).

    KLR with price drop

    Zubb replied to PaulyPickles's topic in FOR SALE & Wanted To BUY

    Man, as KLR’s go, you really dolled that thing up. Well done sir.
  20. Zubb
    I do the same. As of mid Feb the TJ crossing north was unchanged. Same as it ever was. Am winding up day 5 this afternoon in Baja At Coyote Cals. Crossing Tecate again tomorrow. Id say the Tecate crossing is more organized both ways and wait times for bikes is unchanged. FWIW, perfect riding weather all week. Same wonderful people and places.

    Congrats on the 950 revival. Get some, and don’t let her keel ya!

    This^^^ As of 3 weeks ago, mexican military numbers are way up but they all seem to be there because they have to, not because they are looking for anything. They aren't machine guns though. Just standard issue military rifles. We are crossing south on Monday and returning Saturday afternoon again. Last time the bikes still got through in just a few minutes even though it took the truck 1.5 hours to cross north.

    I've blocked it out and will run it past the executive committee. Tom lets truck-pool and take the dirt bikes.
  24. Zubb
    Looks like you hit Carrizo just before the bloom. I've always wanted to time it for a good superbloom. Nice trip guys!
  25. Zubb
    That's a smoking' deal. Bomb proof system. The R80 and R40 are all I run.
