  1. I missed the last noob ride by like 2 minutes and I keep checking back, but it seems that my timing is always too late. So I'm wondering if anyone is doing something this weekend (or Thursday/Friday in the morning) that I could tag along. I'm itching to get on some dirt.
  2. I had a great time on that ride! Just enough to push my comfort zone. Thanks guys!
  3. For sure man! Also, is there any parking at the Culdesac? I'm trailering mine there
  4. I've never been to CC/Cul De Sac, so where should we meet?
  5. Meatmord: would Sunday work better for you? It's looking like Sunday is gonna be a better day for me
  6. I down to do cc either of those days. My drz is plated
  7. I have a trailer that I was planning on using to get it there
  8. I have very little offroad experience on a dirtbike. I mostly ride on the road and if I can find a trail, I'll take it, but I've never tried singletrack or anything like that. I will say that I'm fairly athletic and I have pretty good balance (for whatever that's worth) I ride a DRZ400s. I'd be willing to do any kind of terrain. I would say that I am actually a goon in that I have a tendency to do stupid stuff. Ideally I'd like to ride within an hour from University City, but I'm willing to go further.
  9. Would this be a good first ride with y'all or should I wait for a more beginner-friendly one? Just realized you guys were talking about yesterday
  10. I think I missed it. I'll catch you guys next time
  11. Hey, I'm running kinda late. If I miss y'all is there a way I could catch up?
  12. I just got a new set of handlebars and I would like to put my old handguards on them, but the new bars are not tapped. I looked into getting a tapping tool, but there aren't a lot of them online and they're at least $25. I feel like this is a common enough situation that there would be more product availability, so I was wondering if any of y'all had some wisdom to share on this. Do I need to just get the tapping tool or is there a better way of going about this?
  13. I was cutting off the ends of my grips and I just realized that the inner diameter of my tube is greater than the diameter of the bolt for my handguards. I guess this means that boring out is not the way to go. Does anyone know what I am supposed to do now? MY handlebars are Renthal Jimmy Buttons and the handguards are Acerbis Multiconcepts. Apparently when I removed the handguards, I destroyed the bar inserts, so now I need to get a new pair of those. Thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it!
  14. Awesome guys, thanks for checking. Hopefully I can get my hands on one before the noob ride on Sunday
  15. Yeah, I'm talking about on the ends. The handguards I have were from the previous owner, and he still has whatever he used to install them. I still have the bolts, there just isn't anything to thread them into on my bars. I was going by this video (starting at 6:25)
  16. Hell Yeah, I'm pumped! I haven't ridden dirt in a while (years) so I'll probably be towards the back of the pack
  17. Hi y'all, my name is Mark. I grew up in San Diego and am going to school in Berkeley. I come back down to San Diego for the summers and I'd love to find people to ride with. I'm living in University City right now and I ride a DRZ400s. I ride mostly street but I much prefer dirt when I can find it. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good first ridealong coming up soon?

    In SD for the Summer

    Yeah, I was checking out a couple of the entrances to Rose. I couldn't find anything explicitly forbidding motorcycles, but I'm sure you're right about that. I'll check out the others though. Thanks!
