DustOff

Good to see you on the trail today. Got me to log into the site at least.

Got this set at AutoZone? They worked perfectly for me, just need to hammer it on there good first. The bold will deffinetly need to be replaced though. Good luck.

I used this Irwin tool kit when I over tightened my oil fill plug. You are welcome to use it if the sizes work for you. I am at the bottom of Poway grade. Taking off for Cabo tomorrow 10:00 am in the morning, so it's a small window.

I had the similar issues on my 2005 525 KTM. Once it was started it ran fine, but now I know the kick starter works!!! I think that was the first time I had to use it. It has the aftermarket key and also has the Baja designs in Enduro kit on it. I tried swapping out the old battery, tinkered with it a little bit, got frustrated by the electrical gremlins, then took it up to All-American KTM. They diagnosed it as a faulty regulator. Back up and running now. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck.

I have had a GPS for a year now and still don't know what maps to download. I need to spend some time and poke around the site in the GPS section for the best maps. Topo, base camp.... Don't know enough to even ask the right questions. GARMIN 78sc, gift from wifey.

Same here.

Great vid find Troy! That looks like a blast but I think I would be terrified to do 50-60 mph on one of those things. Looks like a blast though!

X2 for Marlon at WTB, he did my dual exhaust on my new RAM 2500.

Beautiful backyard Rigger!!! I have lived in San Diego my whole life and never explored that area, looks like quite the playground. Quite the photographer I might add. I also read your ride report to Glacier Natl. Park and the photos were great in that report too. Keep em coming.

See ya there Mikey, hopefully you can make it too Jesse. Couple more would be good!!!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

Lurking, Im heading out of town for Turkey Day but I am planning on being back Friday night. As Jesse said, maybe later will work better. How does 10:00 am at the Orosco trail entrance sound? Dropped Pin near Forest Rte 12504, Cleveland National Forest, Ramona, CA 92065 http://goo.gl/maps/eutjI I'll be full of turkey and ready to go....

Spaugh, sounds like we might be fairly close to one another. It would be good to meet a couple more people from the forum.

Welcome. See ya on the trails.

Just posting up that I'm heading out to Black Mtn Truck Trail for the sunset tonight, probably be at the Santa Ysable truck trail and Black. Mtn Truck trail split at about 6:00 pm tonight. Be great to have some company. CYA there!

I would BUT..... On the last night ride 2 days ago, I found out that my headlight only comes on when I hit my rear break??? That was a ton of fun riding at night like that!! GAS..... BREAK........GAS........BREAK. Wires are crossed somewhere, but that's not the first timeIi have heard that.

Never mind , I will meet you guys at packards at 6:00. C ya there.

I'm on top of the mountain right now! Anyone want to meet up at the split?

Crawdaddy let's try to make it happen tomorrow evening 9-4-14. I can be at the same spot at 6:00 pm if that works for anyone else. ( Santa Ysable Truck trail and Black. Mtn Truck trail split.) It would be good to meet some of you in person. Hey You, it would be great if you can make it. If anything falls off your bike, i have great experience looking for stuff on the trail since my wallet and my truck keys both fell out of my unzipped bag last night (D'oh). It was quite interesting looking for them in the dark....... LESSON LEARNED!

Well my "maybe" has turned into a "I can't make it". Little too much travel time, wifey wants to hit the beach by noon. Guess I will hit the local Ramona trails AGAIN! Would have loved to check out some new trails, maybe next time. Have fun out there.

I am a maybe..... Is there a staging area to park the truck and unload the bike? Or is the staging area the whole SleepTrain parking lot? ( I sometimes miss the obvious)

Welcome Fastring!!! As a new guy to the whole motorcycle world, it is great to read the adventures some of you guys have taken. I know it's some work to type out the Ride Report and post the photos but man it sure is nice to be able to live vicariously through your RR. Hope to get out there on some longer rides with you all soon.

So. I have lurked for over a year now and have been riding solo for a while in some of the local area's (Ramona, Corral Canyon, Lark, Ocotillo Wells) and have had a blast just getting out there. I grew up riding ATC's in Glamis until i was 12 then never sat on a motorcycle again. Long and short is that we are close to being empty nesters and life is flying by, I needed to get out there and feel alive again. Bought a plated 2005 525 EXC went and took the motorcycle safety school and got my M1 Endorsement. After about 10 months of riding, my son (18) wanted a bike so he now has a 2014 TTR 230 to learn on. So far he has been my ridding buddy but I after lurking on SDAR for over a year, I figured out that I might fit in with this mixed bag of nuts. Ridding solo in the middle of nowhere has had some cool moments and some terrifying ones too, not planning on doing too much more of that. Already had a dislocated shoulder, road rash, and hip injuries. I thought i was 18 again when I got on my bike but in reality I am an old out of shape 44 year old just trying to squeeze a few more great years out of this body. The only thing I will claim to know is "That I don't know $&!+." The rest I will have to ask you guys about. Hope to start getting some rides in with you guys soon. Couple Noobs getting ready to go have fun.

Bagstr, I can't wait to adventure into the Anza Borrego Desert area. I just had a new spring put on because I seemed to plateau on my weight loss (which wasn't nearly enough). RJ set the sag for me and I have only ridden it once since then but it seems to be a big improvement so far. You are right "Correct set-up makes a bid difference" but I have not even tried any front end adjustments yet. Please keep the suggestions coming, because "The only thing I will claim to know is "That I don't know $&!+." The rest I will have to ask you guys about. Maybe when I meet some of you in person you can point me in the right direction with more bike set-up info. Thanks for humoring me, I'll be the easy guy to point and laugh at for a while or maybe longer.....

Thx guys.
