I think that's Chris. Checking.

And the rest of the story: LB took you down hard--Bad Boys, Bad Boys playing in the background. Cuz no one likes a rubbernecker!

Birthday Flu! Hang in there, brother.

One of my buddies just rode with Lee this weekend. Not only does he know the trails, he can ride that (plated) YZ250!

That IS some scary stuff. Don't like sand? Try miles of rocks.

I could've done it but I'm heading to Baja tomorrow.

Can't wait to hear about this great ride! We're all following you, Udo!

Was going to link the original article but it wasn't in their main site, just their FB site. Appears to work on several KTM models. Let us know how it goes. Mine is good enough as is.

Rottweiler posted this recently: How to remove the limiter from your KTM 990/950 ADV Interesting... So you've heard about how 990 KTM's have a 'power limiter' in 1st and 2nd gear, but not sure what that is? Purportedly your 990 retards the timing a bit in the first two gears to keep from wheely'ing or something to that effect. Well, that is NO FUN, so most people in the know remove two wires from the shift sensor. This is easily done with a small pick by depressing the tang in the plug and simply removing the party killing wires from the housing and taping them up. The plug can be found just in front of the shift lever and under the engine and the wires will be coming out of the same area to this 3 way plug. Remove the two wires shown from the engine side and leave the green wire. (This is your neutral indicator for the dash) The other two are simply gear indicators and do not have any negative effects unless you don't like power, in which case you have landed on the wrong FaceBook page. This stuff is old news to allot of KTM veterans but we had a recent picture of it and though we'd post it for the ones who can't stand pouring over forums.

Nice, Jimbo! Cool photos, as usual.

And another one yesterday. ? http://www.kusi.com/story/34419596/motorcyclist-killed-in-when-striking-car-making-u-turn A grim reminder that we as motorcyclists are constantly at risk and must ride accordingly. Please be safe out there my bothers and sisters. Motorcyclist killed when striking car making u-turn Posted: Feb 03, 2017 7:29 AM PST Updated: Feb 03, 2017 7:29 AM PST The headline should read, "Motorcyclist killed by car making improper u-turn." OCEANSIDE (KUSI) — A 36-year-old man was fatally injured when the motorcycle he was riding struck a car making a U-turn in front of him on an Oceanside roadway, police said Friday. The crash on El Camino Real near Basel Street was reported around 5:40 p.m. Thursday. "The collision occurred when the driver of the sedan made a U-turn in front of the motorcycle," Oceanside police Lt. Daniel Sullivan said. "The motorcyclist struck the sedan on the passenger door ejecting him from the bike." Officers arrived to find the downed rider not breathing. He was taken to a hospital and died a short time later, Sullivan said. The victim's name was withheld pending family notification. A passenger in the Toyota sedan suffered minor injuries in the crash and was taken to a hospital to be treated, Sullivan said. Sullivan said the car's driver was interviewed at the scene and released. Intoxication was not believed to have been a factor in the accident. Police have launched an investigation into the crash. Anyone with additional information was asked to call Accident Investigator Bryan Hendrix at (760) 435-4882.

Two similar articles: http://www.cbs8.com/story/34415610/fatal-motorcycle-crash-in-ramona SAN PASQUAL, Calif. – A motorcyclist was killed in a collision on a rural road west of Ramona Thursday afternoon. The crash occurred about 3 p.m. on Highland Valley Road, near Highland Trails Drive in the unincorporated San Pasqual area, according to the California Highway Patrol. The victim, whose name was not immediately available, died at the scene of the accident. The CHP blocked off the roadway to through traffic between Archie Moore and Bandy Canyon roads to allow for investigation and cleanup. The closure was expected to last into the early evening.

Welcome aboard, Al. Lots of good folks here.

Nice to see you guys riding in every climate that SoCal throws at you. Snow and rain and hot temps.

That is some lovely carnage right there!

Very cool.

Well, that would be cool.

If I may...http://ineverfinishanyth.blogspot.com/search?q=Anderson And the Slut is the unnamed SDAR member who helped me out of that pickle, BTW...

Well, now...that looks interesting!

Good stuff! Waiting for Day 3.?

Ah, that makes sense as I hadn't asked for any additional (Mexico) service and the cost was minimal. Good info, thanks!

I recall that there was a charge per text, but it wasn't too much. It was prior to my iPhone (or FB). FB Messenger, Skype and the like are the new way of communicating, when wi-fi is available.

I've recently spoken with two other SDAR members about GPS use. I told them both I was fairly proficient with routes but not so much with tracks. I learned as I rode on the AZBDR but it wasn't a piece of cake. With all of the experience among the members of this site, I would ask if anyone would be interested in walking some of us through basics of off-road GPS use. Maybe prior to the next SDAR meeting or just at a get-together at one of our places in the near future. Who'd be interested in either learning how to use their GPS unit better or providing some instruction?

My Verizon phone doesn't have any special coverage but I discovered I had text capability from Cabo.

Good stuff, Tim. You really know your way around a GPS. Your input is appreciated.
