    The last pic says it... the wood where the 4 tires got stuck, the one thing my S 10 does not do well is the soft stuff. How did you guys fit all that camping gear in your panniers?

    I also have the S 10, once you find the right suspension set up that massive weight will change the handling. You can do this rocky rd with the S 10 if you have long legs in case if you have to stop (that's not my case) I heard people did with the Gs's1200

    We travel pretty light (Jet boil stove, dehydrate food, 2 person light tent) but in this trip I carried extra 70L duffel bag with my climbing gear and extra clothes. Plus DSR camera, tripod and beer of course.

    Halloween weekend ride/climbing trip!

    We left friday via 79>371>62 and JT, after met our people and set up camping in Jumbo rocks we left to Geology Rd/Berdoo Canyon Rd. Nice ride, some parts are little technical (for this bikes) we did N to S, so was more downhill riding in this direction, I think it's a better ride in the opposite way S to N.

    Next day just relax, some rock climbing, crazy cracks, no falls, party at night!

    And Sunday my body decide to not come with me and I really like to go and explore the Old Dale Rd. This time S to N, first 8 miles brutal sand for my 19" front wheel : ( Ho well...life it's an adventure right?

    The mountain pass are very rocky and technical (what I really like) but here it's the problem: If I drop the bike I will hurt my self, so I have to commit with the track I chose I go for, no stop! It's up hill, big rocks on left and big cliffs on my right. Of course in some spots I lost my track, I almost fell 10 times and got stuck in 2 spots, make me stop get out the bike and push/throttle/rocking to pass the section, this time I figure out the ground clearance on a GS650 really sucks! Any other bike will be pretty easy here.

    Great views from the top and great challenge for me and the "little pig" 650. Each ride it's around 25 miles. Next time I would like to go to Black Eagle!

    Going to Big Bear to ride the big pigs 1200 and 800 on Wed 15 with a new rider to adventure touring (he's in Temecula) so we are going to ride easy stuff for fun. Go up on Burns Canyon, Holcomb Valley to Green Lake and back to Redford Camp Rd and 7 Oaks. Looong day. Still have to decide if we are going 15N or HWY 79 to Palm Springs.

    Skip work day and come with us!

    All right, I begged the guy, really for $10 bucks? :grrr: He can do for $58.50 (no simulate or extra time to practice) or $65 with the extra time (he say's the competitors charge $75 for the same course)

    Take or let go because he need to organize he's own schedule. We need 8 people until tomorrow afternoon or we can do another one, different day, time the year, with sponsors, fire-eaters, Dj's, jugglers, whatever. But I have to answer the instructor.

    Tks for understand.

    Confirm ASAP!

    Phil (858) 999-6579

    Tks

    October 5th Sunday $65.00

    In if the scheduling works.

    What about getting an Sdar-friendly vendor to host? It might help defray some of the costs if they can bring in more people and could be a win for them as well.

    I think its a great idea, my only concern is we need more people at list 20 or more. I guess it's easy to learn and more time to practice in small groups, but that's me. If you like to contact the vendors go for. The other problem it's the date I'm supposed to confirm with the guy today or tomorrow for the dates October 5 or 11, but if the vendors will sponsor and we need more time, we can push for November.

    $55 up $70. Your prices seem to be expensive. We have had these at shops in the past for much less or free.

    I don't have to explain this because it's pretty obvious but I WILL:

    1) Not my course, not my price,

    2) From 4h course $48 - $55 JUST BASIC First Aid and CPR (that's what I found) to 7h course + simulate outside (he told me: I will make sure everybody have a chance to practice)

    3) I talked to 5 people: Answer: Well, not sure if we can adapt the course for WHAT YOU NEED. Red Cross answer: Hum, well, haaa, sooo, well we do have the wilderness course. 16h and more $$$,

    4) I ask for recommendations, if you have some body please let us know, I know San Diego BMW Motorcycles had something similar for FREE a lot people show up (I'm not BMW)

    5) You really get what you pay for.

    This is be the BEST course? Not sure. I will do and let you know if this is worth it or not.

    Ho I forgot: How much it's a life? 55, 70? Doesn't matter if you can save one.

    0:30 to 0:45 min lunch (I will order something like a subway catering) and some gatorades

    Outside simulate (let's put a bike in the ground and really see the situation)

    He will issue the CPR certificated card just after the course.

    $70.00 per person

    We have to options:

    October 5 Sunday

    or

    What is the best date? Let me know!

    I will ONLY reserve this after 8 confirmations MIN and 12 MAX. We will have this course again if this is the "one"

    In order to reserve a spot you must pay me first and I need a full name PLEASE PM. I do have to pay him in advance.

    You might bring:

    Note pad,

    First Aid Kit (let's see what you carry in your trips).

    If you don't have one, don't worry about, I asked him to make a list what HE RECOMMEND.

    San Diego, Ca

    After doing sweep the last 2 years at the Dash, I came away determined to get this kind of training before the next one. If you set it up and if my schedule allows, I would make the drive over to attend.

    If I find the right instructor (I worked before in a ski, mountain climb search and rescue team, so I have some ideas for simulates)

    I will make this course the best ever! Will be intense : )

    I DON'T want just to learn how to put a Band-aid.

    Hello everybody, (I believe this topic was here before) well here go again: After searching for guides for my touring company, I figure out there a lot riders don't have this course (they might know what to do, might not)

    beyond that I think ALL RIDERS should have at list the basic course. (KNOCK ON WOOD and I hope we never have use) But if this scenario appears WE ARE READY TO TAKE ACTIONS.

    So I'm talking to Red Cross and one more company (if you know somebody, suggestions?) to put a CPR-First Aid more specific for motorcycle riders.

    I would like to know how many here will be interest in do this kind training?

    I have a price for $55.00 per person for 4h CPR and First AID, (min of 8 people). I still have to check couple more.

    Let me know!
