TWO Beautiful Honda ST1100A Motorcycles with ABS-II, TCS Linked Braking System
Koonzee replied to Koonzee's topic in FOR SALE & Wanted To BUY
Forum Members: Hello. Both Honda ST1100A were sold. Thanks for looking. Thanks SD-ADV Forum! -
Its a fun ride and you're right, there is quite a bit of sand. The big bikes will be ok but need to take their time and be patient. Wish I could go with you! Planning my Colorado BDR for this summer right now...

Hi gang, I'm interested in doing the SoCal BDR in the next month or two and might like some company. I ride a DR650 and move along at a good clip. I tend to take my time in the morning, but then ride until dusk. I'm comfortable camping or hotels, but I prefer to eat at restaurants (or beef jerky, chips and soda at a campsite.) I'd rather not carry cooking gear. For experience, I have done the entire Trans America Trail in three legs. I live in San Diego and would ride from my house. I understand there is quite a bit of sand, so those bikes over 1100cc might not be the best choice. Ed motoed@hotmail.com

Just gave you level2-rider priviledges
-
I'll add you to the group

It's the area around Otay Mountain. It will depend on the riders that show up for the ride. We might just enter through the gate at Pio Pico.

I joined on the Discord page, but don't see the event for 1-18. I did level 2 training with West38moto a few years ago and have equivalent experience.

Last ride of 2025 Christmas day
dirt dame posted a topic in 1 to 3 Day Ride Write-Ups, Stories and Photos
I hadn't been out for a few weeks (other than to go fishing) and wanted to get one last ride in for the year. For somebody who used to ride 2 or 3 time a week, but can't do that anymore because of the rugged climate and also having to work full time, this ride meant a lot to me. I managed to get 16 rides in this last year, and that was a few more than the year before. I'd like to get a few more rides than 16 in for 2026, so hopefully there will be some mild weather in the next few months, although we really need some decent snowpack this winter. Anyway, the weather looked as though it might be dicey on Christmas day, so I was still lounging around in my tiny apartment at 11 a.m.. But the sun was still out and the temperature was above 40 degrees, so on a whim I threw on some riding duds, (including some brand new boots that I got myself for Christmas) and headed over to the storage shed to pick up Mr. 501, who was sporting a new set of sprockets and drive chain. Then I drove about 20 miles out of town and unloaded the bike. I didn't have more than about two hours to ride, as I was supposed to join friends for a nice prime rib supper, later in the afternoon. I had the whole countryside to myself and rode about 40 miles of two track, getting back to the staging area just before the weather broke. It was the best Christmas that I have had in Wyoming, so far.- 1 reply

Thanks for all the recommendations guys ! I've called around to quite a few shops and their all charging pretty similar prices, so I'm just going to stick to the shop where my friend works. He used to work on my previous truck for many years at another shop, so I trust him and the new place he works now.

What's the "905 area"? and where are you entering Otay Truck trail? Cheers!

Ahh, transmission stuff. If you don't mind the drive I've used Soto's transmission in IB for years. Talk to Omar. If you have to leave the truck there is a trolley stop 1.5 blocks from the shop. Address: 2278 Palm Ave, San Diego, CA 92154 Phone: (619) 425-5341

Thanks Dog, first he says he knows a lot of Marcos. Second, he won't do a tranny fluid change on my truck. I appreciate the recommendation.

Along with my late dad, we've been using Joe Jr. since the late 1980s. Fair pricing and fast turn around. I don't know if he still works on pick ups but call him. He's close to Sea World drive and I-5. You might get a discount if you mention my name Marco. Joe Jr. 1433 Morena Blvd, San Diego, CA 92110 Phone: (619) 276-4600

My 2020 F150 with 3.5 Ecoboost needs some stuff done for 60K service. Anyone know a good, honest, reliable mechanic ? I know one, but they charge around the same rates as the dealer so I'd like to shop around. Thanks.

Yes, I did reduce it from $100 to $40. I’m a terrible swindler.
-
I thought it was $10 did you change it to $40...swindler....
-
For some odd reason, I believe I will be seeing you at some point soon so I will bring it by.
-
I will take it, add to my existing shive collections
-
So, if I were to buy the kit, I'm pretty much guaranteed to need at least one 2.4 shim on my next valve adjustment 😂
-
AHL brand shim kit, has three of most of the shims, zero 2.40 shims. Fits KTM 690, 950/990 and others, many Beta models, etc.
-
Pretty neat bikes, I have never owned one but have checked a few out. They seem to sell for $1500-$3000 so it seems priced about right if someone really wants it.
