  1. It's the rocking that ruins a hitch hauler.  If you hook one of the tie downs from the bars to the truck bumper it will stop the rocking and make the carrier last forever.  I've had a cheep Harbor Freight carrier for 9 years that I use off road behind my Jeep and haul big heavy street bikes with. That's a nice carrier you bought!

  2. I took a ride out Pine Creek this morning to check on the Valley Fire. All of the flames are knocked down but it's still smoldering. The ground crews are still out there to keep an eye on things but all air support has stopped. It looks like it started near the cabins by the first creek crossing. They stopped the fire at the road that goes to Noble Mines and it did not get into Mt. Laguna. In one spot the fire was on the west side of Pine Creek Road and came within a mile or two of my house. I think they will need to close Pine Creek Road for a while to keep people from driving off-road.

  3. 5 of us showed up for today's ride. About 2 hours in I got a rear flat (slow leak) and told everyone to continue on without me, they didn't want to leave but I assured them I had a spare tube and spoons just in case and I would be fine. I was able to get it pumped up half way with my peace of crap pump and that got me to Buckman Springs road. A Jeeper saw me struggling with my pump and asked if I needed help, he filled my tire with his pump and I was on my way at full speed. It was getting low by the time I got to Hwy. 80 so I slowed down to 45, at Sunrise Hwy. it was mostly flat so limped home (4 more miles) at 35. The weather was prefect and I had a good time even with the flat tire.

  4. Ha ha, that "fun group" is my friends and I am the lost rider.  One rider didn't wait at one of the turns and I kept going.  When I got to Diablo drop-off I didn't know they had went back to the trucks looking for me and I went down the drop by myself thinking I would see them in Fish Creek.  I called them from the Iron Door and drank beer while waiting for them to drive all the way around to pick me up.  I had a great day in the desert, them not so much.
