Check these bikes out, some pretty cool stuff! Seat height is way too tall for me !! The 350 is not bad. Build your own looks pretty cool.

Soooo Honda needed more time to get the tranny right because they had never built one before??
Honda was king...now they aren't....they can be again...but not like this.
Well said. This new CRF just reminds me of why I pushed my Hondas out of the garage. I always got excited for the new product or model year launches and it was always such a blundering disappointment.
Zenosan is right, his bikes are the best dualsports Honda has ever made and they're 30 years old.

Found this caption on the pic in the article.
"The CRF250L will be available in Japan and Europe, but there is no date set for a release in America yet."

That is my user name on that site. That site used to put you in the middle of nowhere if you didn`t change it. I think it used to put me in the middle of Kansas if I just posted without changing it. Yeah I like that area, lots of great riding.
^^ Didn't realize "his map" was "your map."
Great trail, huh? -
The map on the Vholdr website is just an approximation. I didn`t pinpoint it.
Here is another video of Tenaja Truck Trail. Turn the sound down first.
His map of the location does not match his route. His location mark on the map is the section of the TT that heads up to Wildomar OHV. In fact, his marker locates the trail head to Fishermans Camp.
Follow his map from the marker down to the intersection of Tenaja Road and De Luz TT, then follow that south to the label of the Gourd Farm. This is the section from his video. The concrete slab he crosses near the end is the waterfall.
Fun ride both ways, but the northern section is now all paved...

I am working on this 84 200X. Got most of the parts on EBay. I got the tires on a tire website, I dont remember which one.
Nice!
Picked up an '82 185S this past week and am working on bringing it back to life. Might have to hit you up for some sources for parts since you seem to know where to find all of this stuff! Want to find the old "butterfly bars", header and exhaust, and maybe tires for starters. Lots of clean up to do, after I get it running!

That is possible, there was enough room for her to drive through with him on the hood.
It also looked like she backed up and hit him again as he was walking up to her.
Is itthe possible that the driver was making a lane change and did not see the bike?
Could have been avoided with a cooler head.

Clutch lever from the dealer for a Husky, $52.00 (hydraulic) Almost 25% of the price for the guards.
I have Highway Dirtbikes guards now, Expensive but strong as hell, plus the mirrors are cool.
I carry a brake and clutch lever for my Kawasakis. I have never broken or bent a lever when I had a KTM, and also no breakage or bending to my Husqvarna levers, so I haven't carried spares for my Euro bikes. I suppose that I have just been lucky with the TE and ought to order some spares.

Here is his profile page so you can send him a PM. He has posted in the last couple of days.

I left my desire for snow in Michigan when I moved out here 23 years ago. I'm the guy who lifts his feet above his head anytime a stream crossing comes along or would at minimum run over his own child to avoid it....
Should I be looking to join another site....?? Adventuresinfairweatheronly.com I'll sign up; I swear!

I left my desire for snow in Ma. after living there for 13 years.

Living downtown with no way to haul, you are going to have to put some miles on to get anywhere. Trying to stay off the freeways is all you can do.
never heard of the area, i would have to ride out, i dont have a truck or anything sadly haha. How much of the trip from downtown to jamul is highway? the DR isn't a huge fan of going over 70 haha.

They will check the vin on the frame,it has something to do with it. I found this response on another forum. I dont know if it covers older carbureted bikes.
"If your bike has a Cat, the VIN supplied to California DMV should show it as a 50 state version bike. You may want to go to the California DMV website. It has info that may answer your questions."
People love plated 2 strokes!
Most of the newer ones are plated in AZ. not really legal here.
Imagine a plated KTM 525 with all the good stuff and 10 pounds lighter, more power, 200.00$ top end!!!
I think it could be done for under 5,000.00$
Craig.
It's the motor and emissions that make it legal or not. I'm pretty sure CARB doesn't think the frame/tires/etc affects the environment. An AZ registered bike is legal here as long as it spends over half it's life annually in AZ. I would assume most have better things to do than run about trying to disprove that.

Ron Bishop Motorcycles on Washington near Rock Springs.
Husqvarna and KTM

Whats the name of the shop?

I`ve bought things in his shop for my Husky.
I think you might be supprised how many people on this site already know Ron.

Wolfman has rain covers available for their products.
http://www.wolfmanlu...ain_covers.html
They also have some other lines besides the Enduro line that are waterproof.

I too like the Wolfman stuff. I did look at it prior to getting the Giantloop, but I considered mounting and waterproof. Wish I could have seen both side by side before. I tend to pack too much "stuff" need a lesson on what I dont need......

My best friend in High School back in the 70`s had a 250 Ossa Stiletto. Fun bike!

Here is a pic of the broke Ural

Second page of this post.
4 full dressed riders set up for a day of riding just left my Wifes Starbucks at about 9am in Escondido at the corner of I-15 and Via Rancho Pkwy. My wife asked if they did the Desert Dash. One of the riders mentioned to my wife that his Ural lost a clutch on the dash.
May have been 3 Yamahas and 1 KTM. Who was on the Ural?

Is`nt the difference a Ca. emissions label and equipment? Also the VIN is an indicator.

My AT&T service always works out in the dez!
Glad to hear both are recovering! As part of the midsweep team I was sure wishing we had a some sort of satellite phone so we could have called right from the spot. Luckily the three of us had 3 different cell phone service carriers and shockingly it was my AT&T service that was able to get through.

I just read this in the rules over at ADV Rider.
"8. No multiple user ID's. Fake n00bs, aka Multiple User IDs, are, except in exceptional circumstances, merged with the originator. Or both IDs may be banned. Try and sign up as a fake n00b while you are banned, and your temporary time-out might become permanent. If you are trying to change your user name, go to the thread in the Ask Baldy, Blame AceRph forum."
The fake n00b didn't last long did it Craig?
And that probably just set his mind that he was right in making it perm. -
Lost Valley Road near the Glider Port connects to that area too.Indian Flats campground is 7mi. in on pavement, then it`s dirt. Campground open 5/1-2/29
Stagecoach to Anza...and beyond.
Maybe we stop near Idyllwild.
Blake,
Heres my first attempt at the oct ride route.

Amps kill not volts. Learned all that stuff getting certified for Toyota Hybrids, those batteries will kill you, (230-275 volts depending on model,lots of amps compared to a regular automotive battery.)
