  1. Goofy Footer, No, I have not seen that mine but would like to. I'm riding a KTM 790 Adventure R. It makes me look like I know how to ride.
  2. Goofy Footer, Thanks for passing the link about my trailer builder too J5ive. I still have that trailer. I haven’t been on this site for quite a while, just doing other things. Thanks to your passing on the link I came here to see what was going on and discovered the Noobs Rally was March 22-26. I have been planning to ride that weekend in Death Valley with some friends for months ito celebrate my 70th birthday.(March 27). I’m going to sign up for the rally and maybe I will see you and J5ive there. John

    Riding Arizona

    A friend and I are hauling 25 bicycles to the White Mountain Apache Indian reservation in Whiteriver, Az for a 4th of July give away. Lucky for us, the trailer has room for 2 DRZ's as well. We are staying for 5th and 6th to ride the local mountains. Does anyone know where there would be good riding in the area of Show Low, Eagar, Hannagan Meadows, etc? If there are tracks available I would appreciate knowing where to find them. Thanks, John
  5. The front rim on my DRZ has three nice size dents expertly pressed in by various rocks in the local area AND it's warped side-to-side by about .080". I want to try lacing on a new rim. My question is what rim is the best bang for the buck (pun intended)? Do I need to replace the spokes (none appear to be damaged or corroded and the nipples turn reasonably freely. Is there some magic to lacing rims that I should know about? If I should fail to make it work, where is the best place to have them fix up my screw up (think north, I'm in LA)? Thanks, John
  6. Leaving now for DV now. The group camp will be available @ 2 pm Thursday. See you there!
  7. All, I reserved a 2 person tent cabin for a riding buddy on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights but he isn't able to make it. If anyone is interested, let me know otherwise I need to cancel the reservation first thing Tuesday morning. $105 for the three nights. John 626-533-1352
  8. Flexfab, Thanks for grabbing a site, I'll buy you dinner. Since the speed limit is 55 we aren't going to be screaming down the highway. I assume that they still enjoy writing tickets out there. I would pick Friday for the Titus run only because I would expect more traffic on Saturday and Thursday I want to be back in the 3-4pm range to get setup at the group site. I would do a tour at Scotty's if it fit our schedule. You're welcome to take my DRZ. I want to see how well I do with the KLR on the sandy roads down Titus otherwise I would have only brought the DRZ. I'll have tools with me if you want to do a sprocket change. Kato & HotRod82, Sorry you aren't able to make it. John 626-533-1352
  9. Flexfab, You know the area well so if you don't mind the "tour guide" mode I'll leave it up to you. Most of the mines I've read about are on the southeast side and doing those when camping in Stovepipe Wells or Tecopa would be a better plan. And I agree, headlamp, extra flashlight, and extra battery. I want to do Panamint to Beatty (for gas) to Titus to Scottys Castle to Ubehebe crater and back to Panamint. 64 miles to Beatty and 140 for the rest of it and it's all slab except for Titus. I'm thinking of bringing the KLR for that ride. Google Maps says that it will take 5:45 which probably means 8-9 hours with stops for gas, food, dirt naps, and pictures. I'm going to come through Trona and will arrive around midnight Wednesday night. I have no idea where I'm going to park and sleep since we don't get the group campsite until somewhere around 2pm on Thursday. Just FYI for everyone. It appears that someone has rented the group site for Sunday which means we will have to vacate the site by 11am Sunday morning. John
  10. Bump! Still plenty of room at the group camp for tents.

    Schwinn, Thank you for the offer but I drove it down to Dan yesterday. He will pass it on to the EMT's. Life is good! John

    Goofy, There are one or two collars in the O2 bag so they should be good. Danrider, OMG I'm going senile, I just looked at the invitation and it's on March 1, not today. I have to go to Costa Mesa anyway so lets do it. Because of the plan change I can meet you anywhere or bring it by your house. I would choose to do this later in the day if that works for you.

    Escondido Handoff

    Excellent, I'll be there by 12. Are you attending the meeting or just stopping by to pick up the equipment? ADV Bum, Thanks for the offer but it looks like we've got it handled. Enjoy the DD. Hopefully they won't have to use this stuff on anybody. John

    Escondido Handoff

    Yes, small bottle, regulator, a variety of masks, and bag. And a backboard if he needs it. I'll be at On the Border, 298 E Via Rancho Pkwy, Escondido, CA from 12 - 2 today. I can bring it by after the meeting.

    Escondido Handoff

    Does anyone live in/near Escondito? I have a backboard and medical supplies for the Desert Dash that need to make their way to Randy. I'm going to be at the California Adventure Riders meeting this afternoon in Escondido and since I live in Arcadia, it would be an opportune time to hand it off to someone who could either take it with them to the Dash or pass it on to Randy. Thanks, John 626-533-1352
