I think it was more like an hour, if you include the towing 😂

I have the short sleeve version of this one and wear it under a jacket. I just ordered the long sleeve one for the added lower arm protection and to wear without a jacket on hot weather rides when little or no pavement is involved. The padding is not as substatial as the CE rated stuff, but under an armoured jacket I feel protected. It is a pullover, so idk if I'd want to be taking it on and off several times a day. https://www.revzilla.com/dirt-bike/troy-lee-7855-long-sleeve-armored-shirt Here is another option I was looking at. Zippered, but probably quite a bit hotter. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/knox-urbane-pro-utility-shirt?gclid=Cj0KCQjwpf2IBhDkARIsAGVo0D0cxtuA3y_nOWTCddPkmbiApVhlRYstkF3fVPbp7JaQl3W6Sp3uWE4aAqF8EALw_wcB

Maybe next time we'll go up Kernan. If it gets too tough we can always just turn around. 😂

Many thanks to kkug for putting this together! It was great seeing familiar faces and meeting the new ones.

Gotta love the left foot kick start!

At least pre-COVID, AAA would do it. The exception was if you bought the vehicle out of state from a dealer , then you had to go to the DMV.

Are you a AAA member? They can do it there and they're generally a little more accommodating.

That was a fun ride! Something new and challenging (for me at least). 😂

Sounds good. I'm planning on making it.

What's the recommended skill level for this ride?

I think he was right about here https://www.google.com/maps/@32.6421514,-116.80006,322m/data=!3m1!1e3

I know that exact spot. I've had my share of trouble there as well. Prior to the rains those ruts were there, but filed with fine silty dirt. Would have been a perfect time for the Dirt Napper. https://www.keithproducts.us/product/dirt-napper-adventure-bike-spill-recovery-jack

Great ride, food and company! Thanks everyone! It was around 250 miles for me.

Where is everyone coming from? Maybe meet up at the gas station in Santa Ysabel or the Hideout instead?
