I only took a couple pictures but I did get some sent to me.

No air marshal, aviation mechanic. Retired as a Senior Chief. Have a great ride, get lots of pics.

It’s a long ride down here for some simple fire roads, but would have been nice to meet you. I’d say just give it a shot for the forest roads, will be fun no matter what happens.

Even a Lexus can visit this trail.

Looks like lots of trail closures, but the site isn't always updated. https://www.fs.usda.gov/detailfull/cleveland/alerts-notices/?cid=stelprdb5340229

That's a long way to go for a short ride, but it could be expanded to an all day ride if they wanted to do it. From LA I would suggest maybe ride down to Main Divide off the 74? I have no idea which of those trails are open, been a few years since I rode there and the rain may have gate closures in effect?

I didn't say anything about a sticker....

I’m not safe for any age.

I know a lot of us ride and camp out at OW, take a morning off to help make sure the place stays clean and stays open. https://www.clean-dezert.org/

I sent this to you a long time ago! Pretty cool but it’s more money than I want to spend on something that is too powerful for me anyway. I’m better suited for a 125!

I’m considering overnight camping there. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Yeah, a motorcycle isn't going to be the best way to really do this job but it could work. Come for the cleanup, stay for the burgers and prizes. See you out there, I'll be the only guy in a Lexus IS300 with a TRD race paint scheme.

I probably won’t get into the tough stuff too much, the 690 is a handful and I am just an intermediate rider.

Some of it is level, most of it’s hills though. Bad joke. Lots of fire roads, just less maintained than Otay Truck Trail. I think I will put together a group ride out there next weekend since it sounds like a few people have not been there.

No, we had two people show up. Anyway, I went to the OW cleanup last year and they provided a burger/chips/drink and there were LOTS of raffle prizes. Like $500 cash, winches, jackets, crazy good stuff.

"Pink Gate" is off Hwy 94 between the Border Patrol checkpoint and Dulzura. It used to be open majority of the time, got closed/locked several years ago "temporarily" due to rain or a fire.....can't recall which but it never really reopened after that. It was reworked with a walk through that was wide enough for a motorcycle to go through, one of my BP contacts who is into dual sport riding said he had input on that design.

I’m taking my rally car Lexus out there.

Adventure is not about the bike, it’s about the ride. I end all my YouTube videos with this statement: “Get out there and find YOUR adventure”. So, adventure away.

I ran into similar “lightweight snobbery” when I got into backpacking. Sure you have a 12 pound pack, but it’s $5000 worth of crap and you have zero comfort. Save weight where you can, but just ride your ride. I do pick up ideas from stuff like this though, so it’s worth watching even if the way I do it is different.

Agree with Udo. Videos like that are kind of silly, the guy said how “everyone is doing it wrong” but they are just doing it differently than he does. Getting wrapped up in how someone else does things is a waste of time, just go do it!
