Helmets I have a Shoei Multitech modular, Bell Star, and the Scorpion EXO900. The Shoei was too large after I lost a bunch of weight, and the Bell is light but noisy. I prefer the Scorpion (MCN choice). It's a little heavier than the Bell, but is the quietest of the 3 and it fits the best. It also has the nifty air pump thing. I had a track low side get off wearing the Bell. It took a hit so I replaced it. Other than not being able to speak Spanish, I was fine - Of course, I couldn't speak Spanish before the incident. I later had a spectacular high side wearing the Scorpion. I took a pretty good thump, but walked away mostly unscathed. The Scorpion was replaced. Boots I bought a pair of BMW All Arounds when I bought my R12R. They are really comfortable, waterproof (I'll ride anywhere in any weather), and protected my feet during my incidents. They did get pretty dinged up during my high side, so just bought a pair of SIDI's B-2 Gore Tex. The SIDI's cost about $100 more, and have seen no water yet, but definitely have more hard protection than the BMWs.

Love it. Arlington Pediatric Center - is that a Catholic Hospital??

Remember: Safety Fifth!

It's pretty tempting. new thread? new plan?

When the ambulance was picking my buddy up, some old gal in a stakebed came by and scooped it up. She was muttering about salt, sage, coriander... Maybe she was the vet?

A friend of mine had a squirrel encounter on Mesa Grande. The little bastard darted out while he was in a turn and ran under the rear wheel. I was always told that if it was small enough to eat in one sitting hit it as hard as you can. I have reconsidered that info.

Sorry I missed it - Looks like a good time. I'm also a non gps guy, but have a set of forest service maps that will be coming along on my day trips.

How was it?

I was told/read recently that it was Rossi's way to psyche the other guys out. 'why is he doing that? Does he know something i don't?" Now everyone's doing it.

Hi - I've been a member for about a year and a half and frankly, 'the club" has changed my life. The BMWOCSD website "forum" is not very active. Instead, we use a group email that members must volunteer to be on - [chatter] - and there are a LOT of active participants. There are also a lot of serious dual sport and dirt people in the club using both BMWs and various skinny bikes. They finally lured me onto a skinny bike after tempting me with their stories and pictures of their off road rides. Our general membership meetings are the third Tuesday of every month (tomorrow) at Giovanni's on Clairemont Mesa Blvd. In addition to the formal New Members Rides every fourth Sunday, there are impromptu rides every Sat and Sunday from the same location. The dirt rides require a little more planning, so come and introduce yourself. Hey for $30 a year I get all the riding I can stand, free pizza 3 or more times a year, discounts at SDBMWMC, and MORE. How can it not be worth it? Eddie

Bikes getting some stuff done or I'd be there. Sanya Yz TT and bridge? Donde?

Well, it's Tuesday and I missed the boat. damn. I'm down for a weekday afternoon trial ride.
