Don't follow me. I always want to go to Tecate but took a wrong turn and ended up here.

Tell Kiwi I do not believe at this time they make pucks for the knees on dual sport riding pants as of yet.  But I think we could send in the picture of him on his dual sport leaning into a corner with his knee out to KLIM and they might try something new!

 

Sorry boys no more stoping at the Hideout for a barley pop anymore!!!  I sure do miss that stop!

Jim thanks for posting and writing about the ride. I am a little slow on posting up. Good times indeed , Great crew and lots of laughs. HMberg -Homer realy hauls ass on his 700 Honda. Great rider and put the fancy equiptment to shame. We had a nice ride . Good to see the Hideout is getting rebuilt. Sad to see Indian Flats campground and area burned to a chrisp. Good to see and smell Pot farming is realy taking off in Anza. Kind of a lot of different characters out their . Fun to have Jim take all the pictures .Lots of deer hunters up on top of the Mtn. Best part is when Wayne fills his Hot water bottle with his XR exhaust -- classic . Found a few good campsites for future trips. Still so much to explore on the ride up their . 

Got to plan a SDAR Bikepacking weekend in Spring with plenty of notice so all camper can come  !!!!
