Otay TT, across the water - Campo and back

[TrophyHunter 15]

Mikey77 buzzed me about a Monday Funday (sorry u were busy, Oracle) so we met with no plan. Rode through the clouds to the antennas on Otay Mtn, down to the border road and east. BP was out - in fact head on going up OTT - and were very cool with us riding there. No issues.

Mike took a drink at the water crossing - which we walked prior - after hitting a hidden rock. I took a dif line and escaped the bath. The road was washed out in places and we both got some surprises. Great time with a gut bomb prior to heading back on 94.

Well, I obviously don't know how to post a video.

Good stuff, guys!  And look at the size of that burrito.  Dang.

My boots had a gallon of water each in them. Great ride Ken.  Mondays are fun days!

I thought the same thing - had to look at it again.

Must be that swell I-Phone camera and lack of skill.

Or arm pump from trying to keep up with Mike.

Try this for the video.  Good thing I installed a fish finder on my 990.  Hit the kill switch and picked up the bike quick so I lucked out on not drawing any water into the motor.  Started right up.  Only issue is my instrument panel shorted out.  Proly just a fuse.

Pretty deep and it was difficult to see the bottom.  I think I found the only rock in the trail.

Yikes!

Mikey....I just noticed that you still haven't changed the tires on your 990 since we did AZBDR last year. If you had decent tries, and thereby good traction, you would have been able to make that water crossing without taking a bath.

The Oracle has spoken.

I put a new back tire on after Az. That thing was smoked. Same front, which is due soon, but has some more life still on it.
