    Zenosan - Birthday

    Yah, Dude is riding a Harley up San Pasquale Valley. Keep O Keepin’ On. 😎
  2. Edit April 6, 2020 Obviously Health Recommendations have evolved - I my opinion we need to think about First Responders and Medical personnel that we might put an additional burden on. Since 50% of the infected population are not displaying symptoms, we have no idea who is spreading what. No, I am not riding or driving out to the Desert “Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment — try getting it yourselves,” Mr. Trump told the governors during the conference call, a recording of which was shared with The New York Times. Yes, We are on our own. I will be riding in groups of 10 or less; at a 10ft distance. 😎
  3. The sponsoring senator represents Santee. Would “ a person” be in error to think he represents an effort to maintain access, since it is due to Expire in ‘21?
  4. Paul, Hey I am Thankful that I discovered the Large text function. Am I mistaken or What? Do you not use a DOT configuration? Why do you care: Re the Green/ Red crowd? D
  5. “Has met little opposition and passed committees unanimously”
  6. “Kinder ,Gentler; more sedate trail pace” and the XR250R back story inspire me. Glad to hear you are not resting on past achievements and instead searching out all the coyote trails for the hard way. Seriously, enjoy the whole story. B
  7. Outstanding - That the Group hit the road. And Ken, What did you find for Dinner?
  8. The Back Story As many of you know, The Park has been closed to vehicular travel since March. That has been painful; to watch the conditions go from perfect to the dry soft conditions we have now. Because of an ongoing communication Chanel I have with the superintendent ( thanks to the hard work of The Mystery Man in Black ), I knew that the park was due to open last week. Thursday at 6pm the park website updated visitation policy. Dispersed travel OK but no camping. Based on the weather prediction, we committed to Saturday. Because it is the desert, it is not workable to have 19 riders on the trail. The call went out to the regular cast of characters; plus The Kug. The Kug works for a living and can’t ride with us during the week. ( Why he still does that, I have no idea) 😎 Not everyone could make it on short notice, so a solid group of four showed up in Borrego Springs ready to ride at 0700. Well Not everyone! I gave my best effort getting up at 4:15,,,,,still and all arriving at 7:10 to Dark Looks. 😏. 7:35 we finally set out for 4.5 hrs and 74 miles of exclusive use of the facility. Kug, SoCalMule, the Mystery in Black and myself. Solid group of skilled sand riders. Yes Kug , you included. Surprisingly, the desert surface was frozen in time from the March Rains. Flat crusty washes with new cut banks and channels down the old familiar routes. Dry but no tour truck channels. Many familiar routes were all but unrecognizable. Delicious. The best part of the journey was the few stops / breaks when we could catch up on all the personal details of our pals lives. Almost as good as a Texting thread. Ha. The wind blew but that was a help in the dry conditions. Our old friend, the Anza Borrego DSP was rested and welcoming. Thanks to all for the effort necessary to make it happen. I promise to never commit to showing up before 0700 again. Bagstr

    Suspension Tuning - Actually - KTM 450 XCW

    Bump Getting ready to do a run in the Sand; After review, my memory is refreshed. Fresh intel from my Dez Contact tells me the sand has dried. 😎 Thinking to run the forks "down" to one ring for the softness of being. My first Repor was in idea conditions, now, no so much. George, word is you are busy with the scofflaws that have been riding through the Virus Pandemic. As you have time, It seems time to have a Suspension Day would benefit understanding. With serious 10ft physical distancing. Looking for absolution, Bagstr

    What's Open?

    Imagine you are in a Forest Service office. You have a road blocked and in need of repair. Do you sit down and compose a new document that is an exact fit the the exact situation; Or do you grab the form the office has used as a template on the last three projects? In addition, picking a date of completion involves not putting pressure on yourself or others. This office would rather be congratulated for being early than explaining a delay. I am doing the same, combing public statements for a sense of intent. In reality, the people are just blocking out space to do their tasks.

    Jim, That looks like a Workout. Have the locals issued you a “Rock Specialist” badge? Nice work on the edit, you keep the action moving.
  20. Creative, We feel like we were along for the ride
  21. Thanks Robert, nice read. It takes a certain personality to be literally out of your element for so long. That is not me. 💁‍♂️
