Good luck on ya mate' May that bike bring you many adventurous CORE miles....

Love that hike great view from the top

both areas I assume would be in decent condition the local single track has been shut down by the owners of the land and have signs and gates everywhere

Let Riggerdan borrow it for his next trip down to Baja..... Thanks buddy

Thought this was pretty entertaining Wish I had the property to build something like this

Judging by the price...I'm sure you know BlackDog cycle works - http://blackdogcw.com I think they make the best big bike skid plate

Thank you for the support - when your on the other side "of happiness" its nice to know there are people that are willing come out to help..... A true genuine appreciation for the SDAR crowd that was standing by to help Another trip to Baja and another story to tell around the campfire All in all good times, just unfortunate circumstances................ Thanks again SDAR and thanks to Paul Bowers for picking up the phone and organizing the effort.... riggerdan

Will be coming up from Baja Sunday dont think theres enough time logistically, sorry to say I think its great how this club works... +1 on the motorcycles and wheelies for me please........if / when

Aside from putting a tire lever through my front tube this morning I'm solid......... Robo from this site - is on the hook Robo - pick up the orange courtesy phone..............

So my wife and I decided to go for a little ride up into the mountains to see some snow and take the dogs for a hike yesterday 79 back way through Jamul / raining at the time hit the 8 and it was snowing pretty good got to pine valley and it was a full on white out had a snack at Majors and headed up Sunrise Hwy there were about 20+ cars scrambling to put chains on even though it was snowing pretty good it was wet & there was not much accumulation and the chain thing seemed a bit excessive - but hey who am I? got up to about 5K where they sleigh ride and there had to be 50+ cars parked on the side of S1 we had already passed 3 or 4 cars that were spun out and in ditches / ravines on the way up got up to about 6K and the roads were snow covered and slippery - I believe thats what happens when it snows.....? we had passed at-least another 1/2 dozen cars off to the side spun out all with the same look on their face stopped at the pioneer trail and took the dogs for a walk up around glider point area, it was snowing really hard and super windy, minimal vis - kinda exactly what I was looking for.. got back and thought we would continue on and head down to 79 / Cuyamaca -- with another 1/2 dozen cars spun out my big mistake was thinking we could make it to Julian for a slice of pie and a cup of joe made the right turn thinking hey its only 6 miles to Julian got about 2 miles into it and it was dead stop -- 90 minutes later it was getting dark and a lot colder and all the fun and adventure slipped through the cracks decided to turn around and head back about a mile into it dead stop going south - great another 30 minutes and we started to crawl made it back to S1 intersection and the back up on 79 was all the way around the lake it seemed took a chance and figured S1 would be a little nastier this time around but worth the risk it was myself, a jeep and a snow plow all the way PV totally the right decision needles to say there was still lingering carnage from people stuck on the side of the road but not blocking passage like the 79 took 79 through Guatay, Descanso back into Jamul assuming the wrecks on the 79 up north were pretty bad I could not believe how many accidents, "STUPID DRIVERS", there were out there - Is it that hard to comprehend the reality of driving in snow a bit frustrated and in the car way to long, couldn't wait to get home one of the "many" turns on the 79 could get you.... even on dry pavement still snowing, rainy slush I came around and saw another car off to the side figured this time I would check to see if everything was alright, it was a dark turn and just nasty out he apparently came around lost control and hit a rock pretty good he was a kind older man that was out in the middle of nowhere dark snowing raining windy .....etc something inside told me to get out and see if I could help being in my wife's Subaru with limited rigging supplies I was able to rig up some ratchet straps and maneuver his car off the rock and out of the woods it was quite the ordeal as fun as it was getting muddy wet in a cold dark slushy pit - figured hey theres gotta be some karma in here somewhere turns out he was able to drive after I bailing wired his bumper back on and fixed one of his lights all in all he was very, very lucky As we were about to part ways he insisted to give me some money for all of my help I told hime its not about the money, its about driving carfully and making sure he got home for the night safe and sound all that said He was a priest from Descanso heading to a bible study at the barrette honor camp I may not be the most religious person, but there was something deep inside that made me feel pretty good about stopping around that turn...... theres no real moral just some early morning rambling BUT Whats with all the California drivers..........? SLOW DOWN

Thats awesome.... great pictures I would love a bike a like that

I put my 20 years in of commuting like this... Thats why I moved here.... PS: The really really good drivers will be in Baja this friday

We got some decent rains last night in Jamul... not sure how far east it made it.......But today looks like stellar conditions little chilly but tacky trails await

http://www.motorcycl...-2012--KTM.aspx KTM has shown positive sales over the past few years while others have struggled. According to a KTM fiscal report, sales continued to go up during the first half of 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011, which was one of the brand's best years ever. During that six-month period, KTM sold 43,158 full-sized motorcycles, marking a 1919 unit gain in off-road bike sales as compared to the same period in 2011 and a gain of 7195 street bike units.

Weather permitting, considering an early evening into a full moon night ride - Friday night Dec 28 definitely big bike and noob friendly, easily paced for all to enjoy the moons energy would consider a bike camp integration if anyone is interested... route still TBD favoring the Lagunas / Pine Valley area..... Disclaimer: I do not have any special lighting for my bike or helmet......

Copy that.....):

Sorry for the bail out on this beautiful night........... heres a few shots from the backyard could only imagine how nice this looks in J-tree "PB" or the dez... Last full moon of the year 2013 Happy New Year

Good stuff sickness

The 1938 German motorcycle was exhumed from its watery grave Nov. 29 when a commercial fisherman hauled in his net and there it was. http://mankatofreepr...1956-resurfaces http://www.jsonline..../184812751.html
