Decided to run up Tecate peak from the east side. I’ve never been up to the top. Long border patrol road but pretty fun and pretty high up. Probably won’t make Campo but I’m going to head back down and over to Brody’s

Hanging solo at the Barrett junction bridge far a bit, 9:30am

Leaving late at 8... maybe see you guys up there

They're letting you out of Donovan? What time are you going to up top of Otay Bob?

From the review: "The engine was designed to last a long time, a Honda long time, so it won’t be as easy as changing out the muffler and hope it turns into a rocket. Due to the catalyst in the muffler and the restriction it causes, going to an open muffler will place engine fuel management into a very lean state. We were told that even taking the lid off the air box in not a good idea with the stock fuel mapping settings. Then you have a smaller exhaust header, steel valves, a lower compression piston and some rev ceilings that will make it difficult to get power easily. Dropping weight would be quick at first but also involves the muffler, hopefully the aftermarket is onto a solution already." So, what would you have to do to add an open, aftermarket exhaust? The ECU is "locked"... what does that mean? It can't be remapped?

He should have reviewed the damage and also how the replacement bike performed on the ride.

six pack reward!

Welcome young fart.

Please keep an eye out for my lost tool cover along Lost Valley! Cheers!

I have the Motoz Etreme Hybrid on the back of my XR4. It really likes low pressure. Currently have the 120/100-18 and it’s a bit fat. Will probably go with the 110/100-18 next time.

I tried uploading with my mobile phone and the audio got out of sync. If you have quicktime on your windows computer you might be able to view it. Not worth posting on youtube IMO.

Thanks for narrowing it down guys! Looks like it's halfway between Anza and Warner Springs.

Oh one more thing. I lost my metal tool carrier cover somewhere on this ride. If you find it, free six pack! (Yes, this is the second time I lost this bugger).

BTW, I parked my truck at Sunshine Summit. It worked.

After Palomar Divide & lunch in Anza... Jim, Mike, and me headed up and over Thomas Mountain, then back thru Anza and down Cooper Cienega / Lost Valley to 79. (The shooting range near Twin Lakes was packed with partiers so we peed somewhere else). Thanks all! Sorry, I cut the BMW in half. Unforgivable: Thomas Mtn:

Nice ride everyone! Here’s SANRider coming out the bottom of Palomar Divide. (Edit: mmm, I guess you have to download video?) 46D96DCD-6186-463B-B306-21DB55790A8E.MOV

I'll wait for you guys at the trail head to Palomar Divide on a white XR starting around 8:20. After up and over Palomar, I plan on slabbing it from Aguanga to Anza for lunch at La Cocina Mexican Restaurant. From there I want to loop up to Thomas Mtn and return through Anza. If anyone wants to join me for lunch and/or ride you are welcome. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DtodCZ6R0K1FdW_kFv5a_QsLO2H2LkHa&usp=sharing

Usually, the original poster comes up with the when and where. Just makes it easier. Then, if others want to join in along the route they can.

Can I park and leave a truck at the trail head? Or Hideout?

Lurking, maybe sat or sun.

This was before the bed was screwed down. Shows the unfinished roof better.
