Updated: Two-Fer Tuesday "Romantic" Black Mountain Night ride August 9th
Wintyfresh replied to Bub_Hannah's topic in Informal Local Rides & Who's Going Riding!
I already had plans, plus I'm not loving the current heat wave. Definitely interested in future Twofer Tuesdays tho! -
Great training, very informative and you could tell it was coming from a place of experience. It was nice to see some of you again and meet others for the first time!!

My wife (and fellow rider) Liz will be joining us as well.

How KTM came to rule the off road scene

I do, and Liz still has hers as well! -

I'm in!

If you're willing to come up to Ramona there's a decent amount of relatively easy to ride fire roads. I'd be happy to show you around if you'd like.

I went to buy a set of Crossfires and found them totally incompatible with my feet. This is not in any way to say they are bad boots, just that much like helmets the right boots are the ones that fit you. But as someone who had a lisfranc injury (shattered all five metatarsals) in a pair of steel-toe Doc Martens in my early twenties, I'll absolutely agree that boots are not the place to compromise on safety.

Knee pads are pretty necessary, elbows, back protection or armored jacket, and padded shorts aren't a bad idea. If you're dual sporting textiles with some abrasion resistance are best, but if you're riding dirt it's hard to argue with motocross gear.

350thumper started following Wintyfresh

For that budget your best bet is going to be to to find an older Litchi compatible DJI drone, imho. With that said, I never found the follow me performance very acceptable until I got a Skydio 2+ which starts at $1,099.

Ocotillo Wells weekend 11/18/22 - 11/20/22
Wintyfresh replied to tntmo's topic in 1 to 3 Day Ride Write-Ups, Stories and Photos
I had a blast, thanks to all of those who showed up and to all of those who made the questionable decision to follow me around Ocotillo Wells! Definitely looking forward to the next one, here's the few pics I managed to take while out riding. -
SDAR Ride Rating System suggestion
Wintyfresh replied to Zubb's topic in Suggestions to Help Improve SDAR & This Site
I agree ADV and Dirt Bike levels are going to diverge quite a bit, but dual sport adds confusion imho. Are we talking 500EXC? CRF450L? DRZ400? F650GS? KLR650? Wee-Strom? I feel like there's some fairly significant differences in those options, particularly when it comes to our local deserts. Just my $0.02. -

Wanted: the perfect desert upper body armor
Wintyfresh replied to Zubb's topic in Personal & Riding Gear
I struggle with staying cool in armor and have found Leatt's AirFit and AirFlex lines to be a great compromise. The armor you're willing to wear is always better than the armor you left in the closet.
