    I'm not sure if I can make the tech day, but I'm definitely going to try. I'm hoping to get some help checking my oil and other fluids, chain, and possibly do a valve check if there's time and someone wants to help. And/or just try to watch and learn as much as possible from others working on their bikes too!

    Hey, sorry to flake out on the meeting after I said I could make it - I had promised to help my friend move sometime this week and tonight is the only time she can borrow a truck/trailer from one of our other friends, so I've got to go help her. Have an excellent meeting, I'll keep checking this forum for updates about the trip...

    This sounds excellent. I've actually been planning on heading up to Utah and Colorado in mid-July and would love to come along for this ride...is there space for my bike and me in someone's truck? If not I can just ride my bike up there...I'm a beginner in the dirt and want to make sure I wouldn't be holding up the ride by not being that fast yet...but I'm plenty adventurous and down to camp the whole time along the trail...

    thanks so much for the ride and especially to everyone who helped pick up my gargantuan bike and help me get through the rougher sections! i had a great time and am going to practice on a smaller/lighter bike with the right tires, and when i can afford it, pick up a used CRF or DRZ so i can hopefully fall less and be able to pick up my own bike more...now for some intoxication for me, and some combination of gorilla glue and duct tape for my bike... :lol:

    Welcome aboard.. If you want to venture up to south Riverside County (Temecula / Murrieta) I can take you up into the Cleveland National Forest. There are some great fire roads to play on up there.

    Thanks that would be awesome...how about next week sometime? I can go pretty much whenever bc I'm not working right now...

    Unfortunately mid week rides are out for me due to work. The next weekend that we will be home, (ie. not camping) will be the 27th so let me look into putting a group ride together on that weekend.

    sounds good for the 27th...

    Welcome to the club. There will be plenty of rides coming up. There always are. Hope you have experienced companions to do Baja with.

    Thanks...I'll be sure to check back and come along on the next ride...I've only got one person whose interested in doing Baja with me, but he's got an even larger bike [800 gs] and no Mexico riding experience...we're hoping to go down there with someone more experienced...in March or April sometime...

    Welcome Andrea! Check the "Who's going riding section" often for posted rides. It might appear a bit slow as most are doing the Desert Dash in 2 weeks. Riding out to Butterfield on the 20th and meeting some folks might make for a nice day.

    Thanks, I'm going to check that section more often...I just saw an old post about a ride in Otay and wish I'd see it sooner! I was thinking about trying to do the Desert Dash even though my bike is probably a bit large for that . But I'm actually going with a group of people up to Death Valley the same weekend as the Desert Dash. I'm hoping to explore some easier dirt roads in the park up there...

    Hi andrea,

    Nice to have you!....thats a big bike you have there....my buddies at work are always wanting me to head to baja with them...I'm a bit scared to go down there, but Love riding for sure and hear it is great riding down there...

    You would have liked our Otay ride last week....I'd like to head back there soon, maybe you can join me...

    I just saw the post about the Otay ride...I'd love to join you on the next one...I'll keep checking the upcoming ride posts...thanks!

    So far I've just got one friend [he's got an 800 GS] whose interested in doing Baja with me, but we'd probably like to go with someone who knows where they're going...my spanish is pretty good and I've always had a great time in Mexico [Mexico City, Oaxaca], but I haven't had a chance to go down to Cabo yet and am excited to ride my bike there...

    Please let me know about any upcoming dirt rides, thanks!
