MauleR 4 Posted April 25, 2017 Hello all, my name is Brian, I recently sold my street bike (ZX6R) and have taken the plunge into the dual sport world with a 2002 XR650R. I live in Julian and have been exploring some areas near my house ( Chariot, oriflame, Rodriguez...) I will be trying to tag along on any noob-ish rides in the area that I can fit into my schedule. Looking forward to meeting you guys out on the trails! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welcome to group, how noob are you on dirt and comfortable with minor ledges, 1 steep downhill and decent amount of sand that 650r is made for that stuff. I might be able to be pursuaded to show you around, have to drop daughter at daycare though so couldnt be to pinion trailhead until 9ish at earliest and looks like high of 95ish in area Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MauleR 4 Posted April 26, 2017 Bp619 I'm not going to set any speed records (and I'm not trying to lol) but I don't think I will have any major problems with the terrain. It's up to you but if you decide to go I can work around your schedule and I don't mind the heat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
