  1. 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.
  2. 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!
  3. Like you say, with this bike was little difficult, more because of the ground clearance and 19" front wheel, but I don't think it's to hard it's more mental and definitely technical.
  4. I would love to go tomorrow but I am working Fri and Sat. Send me some of your pics. I am not going until the 21 of November. I Just wanted to do this ride to meet new riders that enjoy the outdoors like I do. This is not to far for most riders in San Diego and Riverside. I also plan on doing a trip over December that you guys might be interested in doing. It is traveling to AZ for three days on 70% dirt. Sorry Dan! I got to exited and I read the Friday only : ) Now I notice it's Friday the 21st : ) doooo Keep in touch. December I'm not sure, I might ride to Baja for 7 days. Tks for the invitation!

    KTM

    +1 Talk to R.J the owner! Really good people there!
  11. 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!
  12. Tks everybody, unfortunately we didn't get the min of people required for the course, that said, it's CANCELED! Maybe we try in some point again. Phil.
  13. Should be around 8:30 (I was waiting to confirm with Nathan the instructor) I will send an e-mail list to my customers from 360 and BMW Escondido (they will forward) because here sounds like it's only you, Dan and my self so far : )
  14. Yeah going cuco all ready, I mean Sunday the 5th
  15. All right, I begged the guy, really for $10 bucks? 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
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Just talked to him, 2nd option! OCTOBER 5 SUNDAY or OCTOBER 11 SATURDAY?
  19. All right everybody. After talking to 4 different companies I found this the best one IMHP. Sounds like a great instructor and the most IMPORTANT he listened what we looking for. Nathan from: CPR Advantage http://cpradvantage.net/index.html 7 HOUR COURSE. It's long day but I think it's worth it! 3.5h First Aid 2.5 CPR 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 October 11 Saturday 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. Location for the course: Pacific High Storage (they have a conference room inside) and a parking lot. 4350 Pacific Highway, San Diego, Ca 92110
  20. 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.
  21. Cool, Tks Paul! I'll call them tomorrow and ask who the instructor was.
  22. Still open? Let me know I'm interested I'm also a professional photographer. If they need gear: We have this available for rent: camping tents (6 Mountain Hardware 2 person and and 5 REI Passage 1 person and 7, 2.5 inches ultra light sleeping pads, 4, 7gall water tanks, portable vhf-uhf 45 watt radio, portable compressor and other little things : )
