Paid. When paying with a credit card, I didn't see a place to put a screen name, so just notifying here.

Get a 2-5 year old DR650 with low mileage for $3500, toss on a 790 kit. Still mid-sized with a ton of aftermarket since the bikes been basically the same since '96. The builder of the 790 - Procycle - also built a one off stroker DR900, which a ridin' buddy in PHX has now. I'll hopefully get a short ride on it in Sept at the 1st DR Rally.

Of course, I will be out of town on that day. Enjoy

Marron Valley to the "T" - right turn. Worked our way up to Doghouse Junction where construction trucks were not letting anyone down the front side towards Pio Pico. South / West toward the prison - button hook turn onto the border fence road. East to Marron Valley then north past the (sometimes) water crossing. We did not head east through the creekbed, just kept going N. The gate was closed but not locked going toward Marron Valley Rd so we went through, closing it behind. That gate has a sensor on it and we got visited by BP as we got to the Southbay Rod & Gun club. No issues, he just wanted to know our route. We did not see any BP along the border and they may all be tied up with processing....?

They're doing maintenance on the Pio Pico side during the week. Forgot to ask today if they have it open on the weekend.

The entry point from Pio Pico - Otay Lakes Rd - is closed during the week through next week - 6 am - 3:30 pm - for road maintenance. Entry off of Marron Valley Rd is open. Watch for equipment on that end, too. With that, the scenery was great and we had zero issues along the border. At the 250 monument looking south into Mexico

https://www.bikerbuddy.co/riding/ Might be useful for some. I checked local to me and a room for 2, wifi, garage with tools, laundry, etc is $40 per night. The site limits the fee charged so it should be reasonable everywhere.

I'll review my status and current offerings as I have a multi-day this summer. Thx!

My Dad rode a borrowed TW on the Bar10 run. It was perfect for him and he set the pace. Welcome

InReach - on my person. I do the least expensive plan and just don't turn on the tracking function. The SOS still works and they know where you are. It will even drop a breadcrumb every hour or so for those watching online. I don't call in for the higher cost plan, just turn the tracking function on and they charge you for that event. About $3-4. Once a week or so and the per event charge added to the base cheap plan is less than the upgrade.

Jessie - who runs the Flying Monkey Rally in UT has one and puts it to the test. He's done well with it and does a weekly ride out of Temecula area on Weds eves. Welcome. Also in the "see the views, grab a burger" style of riding. No racing on my DR650.

I will search, too, but let me know what you find out on the muzzleloader. I know companies will ship them to CA residents without FFL involvement, along with powder, bullets, etc. I built a Thompson Center, similar to the one Bob posted, when I was 16. I browned the barrel and Dad blued his. Both turned out looking good and shooting okay.
