I don't want to admit it but they most likely were , a new running board and some elbow grease on the hood scratches and the 'burban will be good as new again . Man, you guys rode the crap out of that place; I wish I had been feeling better and had a little more confidence in the range of the stock YZ or I would have been in some of those pictures. It was nice to get away for a few days and meet other SDAR riders. (and Jeff I hope I didn't offend you with my 'farenheit 9-11' comments, a few too many beers for me were involved in that discussion (outburst, more appropriately)). Anyway, thanks to all for a nice weekend, I hope to ride with you this desert season.

Since I won't be getting there until 5-6ish, what type of vehicles are you early drivers taking so I can identify you. I assume we may be the only ones there on a tuesday afternoon but it will save me any hassles of finding the group.

I'm only bringing my new to me YZ250, no plated bike for me on this trip.

There was a recent thread on thumper talk where a group was staying in the troy meadows overflow and they did have a campfire. I don't know if it wasn't allowed but they had pretty good ones going. If it's not too much trouble I would say, bring campfire materials just in case.

Is everyone planning on riding tuesday afternoon?

Dirt Dame, Do you have a quick run down of people who have committed to this trip?

I think you'll find in your reasearch that it is illegal to transfer that firearm in California (I believe you are referring to a Daewoo DR-200, more similar in operation to an AK-47 but fires a .223 round) with or without that silly "bullet button".

Are you refering to the .357 sig or the .327 Federal? The .357 sig feels like a hot 9 mm, I wouldn't call it a replacement for the magnum. The new Federal round is suposed to perform pretty well but I haven't shot it personally. (oops, my bad you said "semi-auto" of which the .327 Federal does not apply).

You need to have the transfer done through someone with an FFL(Federal Firearms License). El Cajon gun exchange can do it, I think they charge between $30 and $50 for the transfer paperwork.

I didn't know we had any AIG employees on this site!

Welcome! Hope to ride with you soon.

What is a "dip tube"?

Too expensive

What the heck, I'll play too. I'm a civil engineer currently working for the City of Coronado, been there about 7 years. Prior to that I worked in private industry doing design of highways and storm water conveyance systems (i.e. channels, pipes, even participated in the design a dam in SB county). Like crawdaddy, I wasn't allowed to ride motorcycles when I was a kid due to the fact that a motorcyclist ended up a hood ornament on my mom's car (his fault though, he ran a red light). I went to college at Cal Poly SLO and met a few friends that rode dirt bikes up there and the rest is history. Bought an XR600 that I am still riding today but next year I'm looking to by something new; and light and electric start! I don't ride as much as I'd like to since the wife and kids (2 daughters) haven't really taken an interest in it but I usually get out once a month. I will be taking the family to superstition for new year's.

Have a good one!

Happy B-Day!

Thanks for the shout out guys. I still check in on a regular basis but with daughters in sports and a wife that doesn't ride I haven't been able to hook up on any SDAR rides lately. I will make some this season though that is my promise to myself. Thanks again for the B-day wishes.

Congratulations on the new baby! What a wonderful b-day present.

You must not have watched the presidential debate tonight. Not that I blame you.

Smith "Intake" graphic series with the sensor lens. Nice.

Great report. I love that area. Before I got married I used to go up route 89 to a place called (appropriately enough) fish lake. Wonderful scenery. I can't wait to go back (but I may not make it back until I get un-married)

It looks like one of those giant helmets ate your right foot?!

Sweeeet!

That must be a mis-labled price or a screamin' deal because I was at MotoWorld on Fri. and they wanted $120! (MotoWorld is a rip-off though).

Yeah, That's my handle on TT (long story). I hope I can keep up. If not I'll claim a bad back or something
