    Need help with my Rugged radio

    See? I learned something!! HUGE thanks to Mikey777 for getting me all set up today. I don't really want to understand how it works, I just wanna be able to annoy PMB and Senor Slut. Mission accomplished-can't wait for the next ride so I can test it out!

    You are right low watt simplex in the dez is a non issue. Just passing along what came down from the national guys who run our radio program. Looks like you are pretty knowledgeable, as stated a few posts above I bet SDAR could drum up enough interest for an afternoon beer and HAM crash course. What do you think? What's a repeater?
  6. I did like that place. Must do again soon.
  7. As some know,I also have a sport bike. (I'm a Noob in so many,many,many,many ways.) Back in the summer I started hosting a Saturday morning breakfast ride for noobs which turned into a slow,easy breakfast ride for everyone. Next Saturday will be my last one for 2015 and I'd like to invite all of you to join us. We meet at the Lake Jennings exit 7/11( 14110 Old Hwy 80) at 7:30am. Rider meeting at 7:50, stands up at 8. We take Old 80/Japatul to Major's Diner in Pine Valley. Right near the cul-de-sac. It's an easy-paced, fun ride. After breakfast, some head back to San Diego, some will head toward 94/Jamul, and I plan to take Sunrise Hwy toward Julian. There's always a variety of bikes, riders and skill levels-the BMW super riders(what I call them,hehe) even join us regularly,so that's saying something! Feel free to call/text me with any questions (310)987-1038 Hope to see some of you.

    Need help with my Rugged radio

    May I please play the dumb blonde card and get you to set mine up for me? I don't understand any of this. I just wanna be able to talk to you guys and my Glamis group.(Do I need to get their station number or name?) I have no idea where to start. I bought the kit but I don't think it included the cable you're saying is needed?
  9. I posted/deleted the wrong pic. But I know. And you know I always watch you and Paul and Thumper to see how to do things. My reasoning remains firm: If the SuperSlut ain't lovin' it, I ain't even tryin' it!!
  10. Sure is nice having a truck. And help loading/unloading!! And a Thumper pal to keep you company. I returned with only minor emotional scratches. Nothing that a set of brand new tires won't fix, tho! Thanks again, Carguy, but thank you even more for bringing your wife!! It was awesome to not be the only girl-she was awesome. I enjoyed that area very much with the exception of option #2-which I am not determined to go back and conquer, dammit!! Option #1 will not be attempted with drum brakes. It's just a hill: I didn't get the launch, but you can certainly see where the landing went sour(sorry WmDaniel): Really glad you're okay!! And FULL credit-it was SPECTACULAR to watch!!! Look how carefully the boxes were brought down-what a team!! He rode it home, by golly! What did folks do before zipties???!!?? You know a hill is steep when Bikeslut drags a foot!! And THEN there was option #3. Links to the videos below. Now, you might see these and at first believe the water is the hazard here. Alas, no, it's the photographers; creating a new biker game called Splish, Splash, I Soak Your Ass. Fun game! https://youtu.be/c75RP3mAmPA https://youtu.be/EiSzrB2dO_Q I only went through water once but somehow till had a mess of mud clumps everywhere-I was a proud mama!! Thanks again, everyone for a great time! Let's do another Noob ride soon!
  11. I got a helmet, I got a rugged radio system. I got no clue how to put it all together and make it work. I sent Downs a pm because he'd offered to help before, but if any of you would like to be my hero, now's your time to shine......
  12. Ok. I intend to be unloading at Southbay by 6:30 is anyone else is trucking in and wants to ride over.
  13. OOOOH! OOOOH! Mr Balmer!! OOOOH! OOOOH! Me! Me! I'll meet at Southbay and ride over with you guys.I have a truck now!
  14. Dang it I work til 5! Have fun!

    Passion

    When I began fixing up my TW200 that was given to me, I had NO idea how riding my own bike would ignite such a passion in me! Putting around the county (especially with y'all) has brought amazing joy to my life.And a bit of pain, but that fades with the realization that even a ride to the store can make any day better. I know I'm "preaching to the choir" here. Now I've searched for a bigger bike for the street and, pardon my "girly" sentimentality, but man oh man, isn't it like looking for love??!! I mean, when you find "the one" you just know. It's an instant infatuation: just wanna look at it and touch it; never let it get hurt....again I had NO idea until now. I found my baby. I'm super excited!! I brought her home Sunday and I've practiced a little yesterday. Like any good relationship, I'm taking things slowly and carefully, but I'm looking forward to many many miles with her. I plan to master the street, learn the dirt, then step up to a big DS bike.

    I'm a law-abiding, ATGATT girl. I do my searching for that "edge"on the track. The story you referenced is tragic but irrelevant in my case. If I'm involved in a street crash, I can PROMISE you that the words:"traveling at an unsafe speed for the descending roadway." will NOT be in the 1st paragraph of MY write up!

    My number is (310)987-1038. I lead an easy Saturday morning ride every week from Lake Jennings 7/11 to Major's for breakfast. From there sometimes we go to Campo and back or up Sunrise and back around Lake Cuyamaca. Thumper Bob comes most weekends.I just did my first track day. Would love more ride time-definitely have her gimme a call or text.

    I haven't lived there in awhile, but confident you won't have the emission issues. As long as it'll pass inspection(lights,horn,etc) you should have no problem. Quads can be plated there too, I'm pretty certain. I know you don't have to register off road only stuff at all. And I know you can register a golf cart. They aren't as likely to bust you for crossing/using a street to get from point A to B on your dirt bike there as long as you behave as they are here.

    I'm from Greensboro, which is an hour and a half NW of the area you're considering. Apex is a quaint area. I think you'll like it, especially if you're gonna raise a family. It's a slower pace. You'll have to deal with mosquitos, and people wanting to "save" you. But there's some awesome back country riding. Helmet law, cheaper insurance. Lots of weekend exploration possible: coast, mountain, lakes. I think you'll find drivers more courteous, but you will need patience when stuck behind the occasional tractor. Anything I can share with ya, just ask.
