Yea, mucho thanks for doing my thinking for me. Trying to get home on my own was a pretty stupid thought. Home now with a couple of pis in the ankle and a plate on the collarbone. Airport security is going to have a blast with me. And a big thanks again to Arnie for taking care of the old guy!

Thanks to all for the ride yesterday, especially Afry for all the post crash help. Broken collarbone and broken ankle. Surgery later this morning.

In that case...In.

Is a newcomer welcome on this one? Sounds like a great ride to get a little off road experience.

If we're free on the weekend you choose, we're in. We've been wanting to get in on a noob ride.

Congratulations!

I'm in for a sticker. First choice would be plain ole black and white oval. Bonus for reflective material.

Making an assumption here, but you're moving at a faster clip in the carpool lane than in the "middle traffic lanes"? That will do it, especially with such a light bike. Still, the carpool lane should be safer even with getting moved around like a human pinball. Also, good advice about relaxing your grip. The handlebars are there for you to talk to the bike, and for the bike to talk to you. If you're squeezing the life out of the grips and doing pushups on the bars, no one is talking to each other.

Very interested in the first day to Yuma. Wouldn't even require any time off of work. If I can get a noob ride or two in before then, plus a little learnin', this will be a great experience.

Thanks for putting this on. Hope to get more involved as time goes on.

OK, good to know. I'm looking to do the voluntary membership. If that's an option at the meeting, then we'll talk... (do you accept rolls of pennys? ;)/> )

Are newcomers invited? I haven't officially joined SDAR yet, but this might be a good time.

Saw that listed, wish I could make it. That would be perfect for me. Unfortunately, no free time for me until after the new year. I also still need to put together a tool kit complete with tubes. That will should be a fun learning curve... :)/>

New member in Vista. I've been riding street bikes for 30 years, but haven't been on a dirt bike almost that long. Just got a Husky Terra 650, and my wife got an XT250. Hoping to get some off road riding in soon. The little bit that I have been in the dirt with the Terra has been great. I've already learned a metric ton from reading here, hope to learn more soon.
