If you have a droid do yourself a favor and spend the one time $20 fee and start riding the trails available on dualsportmaps.com. I find it's just as handy as my gps but bigger screen, only drawback is your phone is on your bars (ram mount).

I compared the Benchmark to the Delorme @ Boarders and bought the Delorme Here is a neat trick since either of the atlas's are sooo big http://www.procycle.us/info/articles/maptrick.html

Happy Birthday Tommy, thanks....now I have 3 dual sports....I never should have gone to Maggies party....does your bike even start?

You know about his mtn bike skills right? I'm pretty sure he has spent more time flying down hills than the average guy!

They are spread out around Borrego Springs try to google ans it and see if anyone has mapped them. Pretty cool stuff.

Didn't know it was October already! how ironic... started on Cigarette Hill.... Winds are blowing there... CAL FIRE/SDCFA is on scene of a brush fire off Banner Grade on Cigarette Hill (TB Map 1136 E6) east of Julian. The fire began about 2:14 p.m. Evacuations are being ordered for the Shelter Valley area. S-2 is being closed between Scissors Crossing and Shelter Valley. Highway 78 and S-22 are also being closed in the fire area. Red Cross is setting up an evacuation center at the Borrego Springs High School. San Diego Sheriff's Department is handling evacuations and Animal Control is being contacted for animal evacutions. Update at 4:19 p.m: This fire is now 1,000 acres, spreading rapidly, with a west wind pushing the fire to the east. The fire is now burning onto Granite Peak. The fire is burning grass within last year's Great Fire. The Incident Commander has ordered 10 more engines, 4 more fire crews, 2 additional helicopters, 4 additional bulldozers and 4 additional water tenders. Information courtesy of Cal Fire

Thoughts?....I hope they were wearing gloves in case the bay area Prius driver is HIV positive...I said it. Hope he was ticketed for using his cellphone while driving.

Anything that could be added to the winter ride next February? Definitively - will call

What a great ride today with Bagstr, beezzz and sicvic (sp?) ....learned some new trails and new friends - thanks guys! ....just another klr lost in a sea of orange....sicvic...thank you for your service, I see a back pack trip in your future. I think I converted beezzz to a klr...lol....and if someone would plezzzz buy bagstr's 690r so I don't have another scooter in the stable!

I am assembling a small first aid kit for single day dual sport rides - sometimes solo. I already carry SPF 40 lotion, duct tape, a knife, fire starter, space blanket and Aleve. Trying to keep it simple so I always have it. (1) 4" Israeli bandage (1) 6" Israeli bandage (4) large Band-Aids (4) Butterfly's (2) 4'x4' gauze pads Tweezers Razor blade Safety pin Couple Pepto Bismol tabs A few asprin I don't feel I need to get crazy with antiseptic this and that because the goal is to stop the bleeding etc and get out or till help arrives. What am I missing that can't do without?

funny... I was with him when he needed that splint walker broke his leg... and his foot... hell; everything below the knee he was about 1/4 mile up a bumpy fire road from the nearest pavement... everybody is giving advice (bad advice mainly) until the paramedics get there... they're professionals... they are trained an equipped... they'll splint his leg, then get him in the 4x4, then down to the waiting ambulance.. "guys.. let's splint him" "uh... anybody have a splint?" None of the Ranger/CHP/Medic guys did, but bowers did... I carry a long crescent wrench and some duct tape; close enough Good story, a couple tire irons would do in a pinch

Is there a place in town you can get them or did you get them through amazon , etc. .... Thanks. Ebay, (2) 4" & (2) 6" for $20 delivered - one set for each bike.

Super glue is much cheaper then Celox but Celox is also useful for clotting. I might bite the bullet on this.

What size? 9"? Gloves were a good suggestion as well - thanks!

When was that? Be very careful with this. I wouldn't go without a passport or card but unless you go alot the card isn't worth the money imho. Technically you need a visa - they are now requiring this for daily fishing trips into Mx waters but this is a political deal on the water.

Sounds good, got a lot of years off road but this bike is a pig - see ya at Majors 0900...

I'd like to ride Wed, what do you ride and what pace are you looking for? I am on a klr and can ride a decent clip. Have rode all the above except Chariot. But if your on a 450 exc....etc then we can ride together if you pull one plug wire off....

The best eye candy is sitting on that Yamaha in the ad to the right....

Armed escort...they also have cameras up.

Never understood why the factory didn't drill drain holes in the bottom of my hard bags on my old Vrod....I fixed it for em.

I just talked to Packard's and they said that she will have an extra girl working Sat morning AND if you mention my name (Arnie) they will give you 10% off any coffee drink (not plain coffee). FYI - I didn't have anything to do with deciding where the meeting place was to be for this ride but since I know the owners I asked for a little help for you guys that drink coffee with your little pinky in the air. I ride a klr so fancy coffee's are not an option for me...bread and water budget only.

I agree about going south - Consider camping up at Laguna Campgrounds - should be cooler. I checked their site and no groups sites but about 40+ sites available on Sat. 7/21 as an example. $20 per site (plus a booking fee of $9) up to 8 people and 2 vehicles (surcharge for more vehicles). Has real shitters and pay showers. http://www.reserveam...o&parkCode=lagn

Haha no, I meant where as in location where.

Holy crap...those motors were rockets when stock.
