Hopefully I can make it, I have the Kreiga OS Combo 36 packs I’d be happy to bring

Anyone tried the Quad Lock Mount? I’ve never used one but I know they are popular in the mountain bike world and they have a ball mount option. https://www.quadlockcase.com/collections/shop-moto/products/1-ball-mount-motorcycle-kit-universal-fit?variant=814115094544

Near Titus Canyon on the CA BDR

Good ride as always, thinking about sliding around that freshly graded dirt brought some perspective to “turning with the throttle”

Gpsvisualizer.com will let you upload and view it on a webpage. Hopefully that helps you out

Great ride, hiking boots next time?

See you guys there, looking forward to it

99% sure I could do Thursday

Good riding with you again Bagstr and nice to meet you KKug. I’m looking forward to the next one

I like the idea of having a Honda rather than joining the sea of Orange. Where are you seeing used ones for sale? I haven’t found any locally. I think the kits you’re describing sound great but their website only shows the thermostat delete, pro circuit exhaust, and vortex being in the stage 1 kit for $1800.

I’ve been waiting for Rugged to have a sale and today I got an email they are doing 20% off today only, no code the discounts are already shown on the website. Only certain items but some UV5R accessories

Just got an email that Rugged is having a 20% off sale today so I’m picking up the whole set up. Now I’ll be sure I have everything and who knows, maybe I’ll even have it in time for the ride. Thanks for the offers Bagstr and Paul

I can’t pass that deal up, I’d be happy to buy you breakfast for the repaired set up. I don’t trust my skills to repair the other set up. Paul, appreciate the offer, I’ll be set up well enough to just listen on this ride. Once I get Bagstr’s set up I’ll buy the other components to complete it. I just couldn’t stomach the $250 when I knew a discount code would come around if I waited. And I don’t want to fiddle with trying to get the full set up done in the morning before the ride.

I’m in. I’ll have a radio that is hopefully programmed correctly and will have listening capability. Waiting for Rugged to have a sale before I buy the rest of the set up so just some cheap helmet speakers for now. I can pull over to transmit if I get into trouble. I’ll pack my knee pads too

I could make a ride on 1/2 but I’ll be out of town 12/31

Luckily I already own knee pads, I always know I should put them on but it’s just so easy not to. I’ll have to put them with my boots so I get reminded every time. I don’t think the braces are in the cards quite yet, they are just outrageously expensive. Maybe when the knee pads need replacement it’ll be easier to justify

You guys make it too easy, I’ll get everything ordered up and ready to ride in the new year

Thanks for the clarification, sorry to turn this into a radio thread. Back to your regularly scheduled ride report

If I get the BaoFeng from Amazon would this kit work https://www.ruggedradios.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1083&products_id=1378 or do I need this kit https://www.ruggedradios.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1083&products_id=586 with a separate jumper? I think this is the jumper I would need https://www.ruggedradios.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_36&products_id=98 ?

Thanks for the insights, I've been reading through the communications section trying to figure it all out. Those Bao Feng radios are much cheaper than I expected, looks like $300 will get me set up with everything

Thanks for having me, the riding was awesome. Now to start working on a radio set up so I can find out what I was missing out on

Got it, appreciate it, I’ll see you all Thursday

A pin drop would be helpful for me, been looking around the map and haven’t been able to find the meeting point

I tried to catch some fog yesterday but I mist eh?

Any room for a relative novice? I’ve never ridden in Anza Borrego but I meet the equipment requirements and hope I can keep up with the sense of humor requirement. Did 800 miles of CA BDR solo in October so I’m pretty confident in my ability on desert roads, as long as we aren’t expecting anything too technical?
