Doing great and still riding my converted street legal pit bike around the high desert where I live. I haven't had the itch to go big bike'n again. but my best memories are riding with the group here. I'm an admin' on Z125owners forum, and have 2 FB z125 groups as well for the z125 pro. I thought i would get tired of it in a few years, but I still giggle under my helmet on every ride. And if you love bikes, who doesn't want a street legal pit bike to squirt around on. Glad to see your still here and keeping the sport alive and well. I'll check in in another 6 months to see what's up.

Good luck with your surgery Dave.

Here's a cool small bike loop. Stayed the night at Blair valley camp ground then rode this. Does the squeeze, then heart attack hill, then loops down near superstition. through some crazy alien like landscapes and hills, then Gas and lunch in Ocotillo, then back to camp along the S2 with optional side loops. I'm itching to get back and do it again. Goat canyon trestle trail is shown in orange, but I THINK it's hiking only. We skipped that part because it was just an out and back and we were chasing daylight, so I don't know for sure anza_borrego_2023_gpx.gpx My brother and I will attempt a modified version of this Feb. 1 weekend. Planning to start in Borrego springs, ride up Fillipe wash, out to superstition mountain, then follow these tracks to ocotillo for lunch and gas, then either up the S2 to loop around or backtrack back to Borrego Springs. Depends if we want more desert or street ride back. We'll be on 450s, we don't have big bikes Would be stoked to have ya'll out with us

This past weekend I did a modified version of the Pinyon, Fish Creek, San Felipe Wash loop. 98 miles on the nose. It's a really nice bit of riding. I ran it on the 500. It seems doable with the 890, but I would want a buddy or two to assist at the tougher sections if needed. I'll explore the southern sections down near the train tracks next, on the 500. I'm open to joining a ride out there if my schedule allows. Particularly a big bike ride if there's interest. Keep me posted!

I'll check if I still have tracks. My favorite 100ish mile loop was to start at pinion do heart attack hill down to fish creek, into blowsand in ow, then san felipe wash into town via inspiration wash or exit near the borrego dump. Then up montezuma down to grape vine down to hwy 78

Here's a decent Anza Borrego map https://www.boondockersbible.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/anza-borrego-desert-state-park-map-2016.pdf

Yeah I can’t believe the deterioration. It was closed for 2 years for repairs. Waiting for rain/snow to head back

Took Bee Canyon a week after it opened on my WRR. Lots of deep, silty sand. And not just at the bottom start. Totally chewed up by high powered ATVs. The top near Pine Cove/Idyllwild is still in good shape.

I've been riding that route almost weekly. Border patrol is on it lately. Seen them making arrest in several places today. I always honk my horn, give them a fist pump, and holler out good job.

That is a great bike, my brother had one. The 250F would be for my 15 yr old son. He outgrew the 140, currently on a CRF150R. I'm hoping to get him on a 250F in a couple months. Thank you though.

Arrine was full of life!

Solid write-up. I like the colorway on that 901. Aside from the wind, the weather has been perfect for riding this week.

'Twas a good day for doing trail maintenance and trash clean-up out at Corral Canyon today. It was a good turnout, at least 30 to 40 people, the vehicles were all 4x4's, except for 2 motorcycle guys...just Ed Stovin (president of San Diego Off-Road Coalition) and I, a poor turnout from the motorcycling community. Ed and I worked trimming brush on Greenhorn trail, he started at one end and I from the other end. Doc had fun too, and at one point he jumped up while laying on the trail and started barking a lot...he heard or smelled an animal close by. He'll always alert me if some animal gets close, I love that. Afterwards, free hot dogs, chips, sodas, cookies and a raffle. I won a little goody bag from Bilstein and also a free entry to the 62nd Annual Terra Del Sol Desert Safari and Expo. I've never gone to a 4x4 event, maybe I'll go this time. Tierra Del Sol 4 Wheel Drive Club donated $5000 to the Tread Lightly organization, awesome ! People also brought toys to donate for Toys for Tots.

Sounds like a blast. Need more amigos like that.

Hey Pauly, If you sell this, what the hell am I supposed to do for an emergency fuel supply on our Death Valley rides? 😂

Write some comments and submit them to try to prevent this... Wildcat Energy Farms is proposing to place a solar facility right next to the northeast side of Ocotillo Wells. The project would start by the park along Highway S22 and go east. A larger portion would be east of Highway 86. The proposal intends to place 1,964,000 panels over 5,900 acres. For the project to begin, Imperial County Supervisors would need to approve of a zoning change. There is a comment period open for the project and you can let the Imperial County Planning Department know how you feel about it. Important arguments against the project are about visual resources and zoning. Many people don't want the visual character of the area to change. The area in question is also not zoned for this kind of development. We do not have strong feelings about the project being east of Highway 86, but don't want any solar on the west side of Highway 86. You can read about the project here. You can send comments to davidblack@co.imperial.ca.us and planning@co.imperial.ca.us. The comment period ends December 23! You can ask the county and project proponents to respect the current zoning and visual character of the desert west of Highway 86. Thank you, Ed Stovin, President San Diego Off Road Coalition

No has to do with rear hub assembly
