Very nice terrain. Dust free too! Are those Pronghorn in the 5th photo?

Ya those buckles are stitched to the leather part, so you'd have to get a cobbler to re-stitch it. Here are some boots. Boots

Beautiful country!

Ahh, transmission stuff. If you don't mind the drive I've used Soto's transmission in IB for years. Talk to Omar. If you have to leave the truck there is a trolley stop 1.5 blocks from the shop. Address: 2278 Palm Ave, San Diego, CA 92154 Phone: (619) 425-5341

Along with my late dad, we've been using Joe Jr. since the late 1980s. Fair pricing and fast turn around. I don't know if he still works on pick ups but call him. He's close to Sea World drive and I-5. You might get a discount if you mention my name Marco. Joe Jr. 1433 Morena Blvd, San Diego, CA 92110 Phone: (619) 276-4600

Beautiful country! Do you wear a balaclava under your helmet (just asking as I did riding late season in Colorado)? Also the last photo, is that a lake in the distant background? Thanks for all the great reports and photos!!!

Great. My wife wants to clean up the garage. I have some other MX stuff you can have if you want (shirts, kidney belt, gloves, an XXL helmet). I will place them on here as freebies if you don't want them. Cheers, Marco. IM sent as well.

I've got a pair of dusty (in my garage for years) Oneil size 12 boots you can have for nada. I'm in the Mission Bay area if that helps. Probably want to just make sure no critters are living in them.

That looks like a great run. Did you all have to ride a lot of freeways or mainly back roads? I ask as with my 390 Adv I can't do much freeway riding.

Thanks again for the KTM jacket Brian!

Dibs on the KTM orange jacket. Text sent. Marco

I use Onx offroad on my phone and have had pretty good luck getting around in SD county back roads. It did show some locked state/county gates. https://www.onxmaps.com/offroad/app

Just a public service announcement. Was riding into work today (I cut through Marlesta St. near Mesa College). It was super foggy and the road was a little damp. Making a downhill right turn across some cross walk painted "hash marks. Rear tire broke traction on those painted lines and boom. Low sided it. No damage except a bent brake lever and a sore bottom. I remember talking to a city road paint crew years back, the guy said when they paint they sprinkle sand on the top of the wet paint, after months/years of vehicles driving over it, the sand layer gets worn away and all that is left is ice slick paint.

WOW!!!!

Sounds very tempting Randy. I looked around for the route but didn't have any luck. The map showed a red boxed in area to BoLA. Is BoLA the turn around checkpoint or end?
