    What about  the 10th weekend?

    I may be able to change to the 10th but I believe there is an audit at work the following week and the boss has said we may need to work that weekend to get everything ready. Then again it could be the week after. And then I'll also need to clear it with the domestic affairs council. I'll see when I get home.

    I made the switch to No Toil and I'm toiling over the cleaning process.  I'm using Oxi Clean liquid.  I've done two washes with increased concentrations with not much luck.  Went to straight Oxi Clean liquid and its starting to cut through the goo (see photo).  The amount of liquid I'm using would do laundry for weeks.  The cleaner part of the filter, but not really clean, is where the full strength was used.  I've read plenty of blogs and the above and am a bit perplexed why the Oxi Clean liquid is not cutting this stuff better.  Is dry powder really that much different/better?  The wet filter after these cleanings is still very tacky so a wet filter would still work pretty good in my opinion. I'll be trying the powder form next before buying the proprietary no toil cleaner and will report back.  Thoughts?

    You need to use the Oxy Clean powder.

    New dates are in.

     

     

    I know this is coming late notice but I finally got departure clearance from HQ.

     

    I'll be driving up to Kernville area/Greenhorn Mountain Park Friday afternoon for a long overdue ride. It's been almost one year since I've had the bike out of the garage so it'll be a relatively easy ride. Relative meaning intermediate skills required but the pace will be slower so I can get reacquainted with dirt bike riding again. 

    If anybody has ever had an interest in riding high mountain single track this is your time to join in. I'll be your guide.DSCN0689.thumb.JPG.9b4b725601c88338530e17dc81dc30f1.JPG

    Yes. A third installment to the Charley and Ewan adventures has been announced!

    Charley and Ewan are back! Charley and Ewan are back! Light the beacons and send messengers on horses to all the villages to spread the good news. In an interview recorded at the Bike Shed Motorcycle Show, Charley Boorman confirmed that pal Ewan MacGregor and himself are working on the Long Way Up. After going around the world from London to New York and traveling from the UK to South Africa, the guys will now tackle the Americas.

    I am curious about this bike for sure. One review I saw said that even though there is a 34" seat height, they still felt cramped as a tall rider.I don't know if the pegs could be lowered some? Braking was the most common critical comment I recall seeing. It looks like the US models will be made in Japan. The European models will be born in France. I am sure that the US models will probably feel under powered due to emissions requirements. Probably nothing a ECU flash and Power Commander can't resolve.

    Anyone have a price point for the US? Did I hear ~$7K?

     

     

     

    I've never heard a review of the MT7 as being underpowered and it is the same engine.

     

    The only price I've heard was 7k POUNDS.

    I’ll wait for KTM to come out with something similar. It’s sure to be 30lbs lighter

    And won't run right with the standard tune, will need $1k in work to get the suspension fixed, the turn signals will fall off as you ride it off the dealer lot....

     

    But within 6 months it's sure to have as many aftermarket options to fix it all.

    Adalberto's on Rosecrans in Point Loma. It was my go to place for 5 years of Naval service and still my favorite.

    El Fuente on Aero Drive is really good stuff. The new go to place at my house.

     

    Super Sergio's -  It is just a couple miles from my house and I haven't been there in many years. I do remember going there the first time and enjoying it and making it my go to place for lunch way back when. Later I learned that all the Mexicans around the airport loved it. I'll have to try it again.

     

    I used to stand by my allegiance the standard carne asada burrito until I had a California burrito and loved that too. Now I usually order a Cali burrito because I enjoy the steak and potato flavors together. Go figure. Baja Sonora makes a great California burrito that I get with carnitas, but they are in Long Beach. I worked up there for a year and now I'll stop in on my drives on 405.

    Speaking of Sonora, they are known for seafood. I've also had some really good barbacoa in Obregon, Hermasillo, and Nogales (AZ). 

     

    Having said that, I wasn't a big fan of Mex food and burritos until I moved to San Diego. Now I love it, but when I leave here I find things showing up in my rolled tortilla meals that have no place. The number one is beans. I like refried beans, but they destroy the flavor of a good burrito. The second is rice. Same reason as beans. Keep the sides on the side.

    Here we are six years later and I need a little help from a friend.

     

    I bought a used car before the DMV started issuing the temporary paper plates. The DMV never sent the new plates to me but I got a fix-it ticket for no plates and window tint. 

     

    Similar options apply to my law enforcement friends, lunch, brew, your choice.
