  1. 10-4 Ken. Here it is..760-562-3307. Anyone else can also text for Saturday ride or for whatever....maybe taco stand recommendation
  2. Me and my brother will be heading out Saturday...kickstands up 0730 mas o menos
  3. How did the Task helmet lights perform? Any pros/cons?
  4. I can't decide between Puerta MX, Giants vs Padres or night ride...not enough time for everything....I need to clone myself
  5. A little over 2 months ago I tweaked my knee at work and didn't want to aggravate it so I took a break from riding. Last weekend's solo ride from Pio Pico was my first ride in almost 9 weeks....man I was missing out on some good rides. This weekend I joined my brother and a buddy for a quick ride around Superstition. Kickstands were up by 0645 and we were back at the truck around 0815, by then it was in the high 80s and what felt like 99% humidity. We only put in about 25 miles but with the heat and the rocky sections along the back side of Super it felt like 50 miles. Here's a little video, i hope you all enjoy it. I might be doing a night ride soon if anyone is brave/stupid enough to come down this way,
  6. Funny thing is that at the next dune my buddy stalled but i couldn't get there in time to pay him back. Will do!

    Otay Good ride

    Cool pics. Hey CVRICK, I wish I would've known you were riding out here, I'm at Pio Pico but internet service is spotty here. Went for a solo ride today, only did about 25 miles though.

    GPS Mounts

    Another vote for ram mounts, use these and they won't take up much space. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005J43I56/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?qid=1465914037&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=ram+mount+motorcycle

    Cop skills

    Wow! Oracle, my brother used to be a moto cop...hopefully one of these days you guys can ride some dirt together...I'm trying to get him to come over from the fast ride/race side to the DS side.
  13. http://www.ruggedradios.com/index.php Good time to pick up a complete radio kit. http://www.ruggedradios.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=763&products_id=1323 This is a good all-in-one package. I chose to piece together my own kit for two reasons. 1. On the PTT I prefer the nexus style jack over the RCA type. 2. The harness in the Moto Kit is hardwired for the RH-5R (rebadged Baofeng), the harness I bought requires a cable jumper...good thing about that is that if you decide to use a different radio all you need is a different cable jumper, about $25. The price for piecing together the radio kit with Rugged gear ($178) and a Baofeng radio ($28) from Amazon sets you back about the same as buying the complete Moto Kit. http://www.ruggedradios.com/index.php?main_page=product_free_shipping_info&cPath=706&products_id=1318 $42 http://www.ruggedradios.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=831_903&products_id=104 $20 http://www.ruggedradios.com/index.php?main_page=product_free_shipping_info&cPath=139_144&products_id=1703 $75 http://www.ruggedradios.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=294&products_id=585 $40 Hope this helps anyone that's been considering a radio setup.

    Riders Down D-38 race 4-9-16

    Very well said, Robert. I don't consider myself a "racer" but I do enjoy riding/racing in closed course events. Friends ask me "are you racing this weekend?" My reply is "well, I'm paying a club $40 to follow course markings". During Saturday's race I stopped a couple of times before tackling a rough section, drank some water, let a few guys pass me then I got back on and finished my race. Scott P. graduated from my local high school in my sister's class a year before I did. I didn't know him personally, but when your graduating class from a town of 4,000 has about 90 students and all there is to do out here is ride desert and goof off out on country roads you get to know everybody in town real quick. We also had mutual friends because of riding/racing. One of his good friends is a good family friend that we camp with several times during desert season. A few weeks ago another one of my sisters classmates (Carl P.), his wife and 2 yr old daughter passed away in a very tragic car accident. My deepest condolences to both of their families. Scott and Carl left a void that will probably never be filled. I agree with you Robert, I don't want anyone to stop riding/racing/driving if something were to happen to me...I will keep on doing what I've always done because that is what Scott and Carl would want.

    Wheaties Box

    If skinny pants can make me ride like him, my wardrobe is overdue for an upgrade!
  21. Whenever a family wedding conflicts with my riding plans I always say "I'll go to your next wedding"....I'm usually the only one laughing though.

    Resole boots

    Thanks guys! After Saturday's D38 race I'll clean em up and ship em out!
  23. Jim, I can't make this ride, I have a mid afternoon commitment, but I'll be doing the D38 race instead. Tonight I'll email you some killer two track and single track we hit a few weeks ago.
  24. Epic 2 day ride from Tecate to Cals! 360 miles, 5 riders, 0 issues....well except the 2 flats that earned my brother the nickname "Flat Albert". 1st of about 20 water crossings 1st of about 20 gates.. Taking a break south of Ojos About to drop down into Uruapan from the 500 race course Hitting the coast between Sto Tomas and Erendira...oddly enough this was the first fun Baja ride my brother and I have ever done together, in the past I would tag along as he preran for a race. Long overdue for sure. Scary washout north of Erendira Video courtesy of Flat Albert... https://youtu.be/VyQJgWvti7w
