10-4!

Too bad, hope you work out your brake issues and you make the next ride. Sounds good. We'll be looking out for you, what are you riding? Ok, I'll be hanging out at the store.

I'm thinking about 8:00 or 8:30. I've ridden up there before, but just along the fire road that starts at the store and up to some cell towers. I was up there last year in July and noticed that alot of "side" roads were blocked off. I know some of that is a wildlife preserve, i'm willing to go wherever there's open routes.

Welcome! I haven't been a member too long but SDAR has some real good guys here always willing to help or lead a ride.

I'm running it on my 14 350 EXC-F, no float ground or other stator mod. Plug and play into stock harness.

Sexy! I feel I shouldn't be looking at this on my work computer.

How are the ribs, arm and clutch lever?

Great ride! I'm about 20 seconds away from falling asleep. Good night all.

Ready.

+2. I like the fact that the "under garment" is not full length, just covers arms and upper chest/shoulders.

I'll be at pio pico 1st weekend of April, you riding that weekend?

Also lurking. This is turning into the Great Mexican Nipple Clamp Ride of 2015..ha ha.

Count me in on my 350 EXC with a possible 1+...gotta convince my brother to take the day off from work.

Not from SD but my brother who's a local might compete if his bike is ready in time....262s

Looks like a fun wash to play in.

+2 On Rancho Santa Veronica. I heard that Lalos Tacos in Rumurosa let's people park their trailers on their property....not sure if anyone here has had any experience with that.

I do the hand count also and have received everything from peace sign, thumbs up,rock n roll devil horns to hang loose hand sign In return. I'm already teaching my 5yr old the hand signal....now he asks to ride up front so he can do it.

Thanks for the info. I now have a mental image of you in fishnet stockings! Ha ha...if i ever go on a ride with you I'll know why you're looking at me funny!

I can't help with either one of your choices as I have the Acerbis Cosmo. Just wanted to add that the fishnet stocking along the arms of my Cosmo already has a tear on it and I've only used it for 2 rides. Looks like the Thor Impact has the similar material along the arms. I had a pair of Fox elbow guards with the same type material and they also tore...not after two rides but eventually they did. Might be the fact that the Cosmo is worn on the outside and hitting a branch while riding caused the tear or catching my fingernail as I was putting it on or maybe when I tossed it in my gearbag. Just my $ .02

Couple pics from the ride. I need to find a better way to carry my camera so I'm not taking off my camelbak every time i take a pic.

Last week I had a chance to go for a quick morning ride after dropping off my son at school. I've been out to the Yuha Wash area before but was limited to the Open routes...but now that I'm plated it's opened up a whole new world for me. Enjoy. http://youtu.be/tgNqQf2j2kA

Yes it is. That's going to be my go to spot when I'm short on time and need a quck fix. The DD sounds tempting. I'm familliar with alot of the Anza Borrego area, the only thing holding me back is I need a bigger tank and saving days off from work for a family desert trip.

Head on a swivel. Aside from the driver turning left in front of us most "accidents" could be avoided or at least the impact would be lessened if the rider was constantly scanning and aware of his surroundings. We do it on the dirt, why not on asphalt? bikelsut, I agree 100% proper use of both brakes is very important. I'm new to the DS scene but rode a street bike before. During my first slab ride around town on my new bike, i was quickly reminded on how many drivers out there are clueless of not just other vehicles but also of a guy testing out his dual sport. Stay safe my friends.
