paulmbowers 236 Posted September 19, 2011 Had a great ride Sunday- exactly as planned. If I remember correctly, we had CalNub, rockin (and I mean ROCKIN) the 650 GS, Doctor Z, Eddie, Thane, RiggerDan and BikeSlut. Great to have some new faces! Sadly, Bikeslut failed tech inspection and had to go home rideless. A no-start on the mighty Super DRZ, suspected carb issue, and in retrospect, we probably shouldn't have tried so hard to get it started- the cylinder may have been full of gas. I saw some cameras, maybe someone will post some images. Good conditions, we did Kernan, 1, 4 and the little trail whos name I don't know back to 4 corners, then Kernan back to the transport. About 2.5 hours of solid riding. No injuries were reported to people, the 650 had some issues with it's plastic parts, but CalNub dis an amazing job on all these trails.

Riggerdan 147 Posted September 19, 2011 Heres a few shots from my camera yesterday @ Corral Trying to keep up with Pee Bee, my creative windows for photo op's were somewhat limiting... The BMW650 totally stole the show, developed a meaner and meaner look at every intersection - really great riding...!! I had a great time "dual sported" from Jamul - with a 0600 departure its never that fun waking up early but the ride / morning light was amazing Topped off in PV then took bear valley to Kernan over the hill to meet the guys First time meeting bikeslut and was looking forward to riding with him - as Paul said technical difficulties A+ for good attitude We all ended the ride successfully Eddie and I took Kernan back over the hill and back to PV for some fuel a well needed ice cold Coca Cola He jumped on the 8 and I took 79 home Thanks again and glad to have met thane, doctor, and 650 wild man He doesn't even know he's a superstar yet.....Nice windshield Put some antlers on them........ Notice the windshield taking shape of a guillotine Well, I think the picture says it all....... Slight trailside plastic reconnection, I think Paul was directing the operation from left shoulder....Doctor was just making sure? THE END Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CalNub 0 Posted September 19, 2011 You are all too kind, I just felt bad for slowing everyone down. But for your amusement here's a complete list of the damage (not including scratches or my ego): bent rear brake pedal bent front brake lever bent clutch lever shattered windscreen (guilloscreen) broken left-side miror shattered right front turn signal dented front brake reservoir shifted left-side faux tank cover All in all not a bad list considering it did spend a good amount of time completely upside-down. Thanks for the ride guys, it was fun trying to keep up as well as finding (and exceeding) my own limits. Until next time. -Aaron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was amazed how few people were out there. Paul, Thane, Dan, Ed, and Aaron...Nice meeting you all. Hope we ride again soon! Dennis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulmbowers 236 Posted September 19, 2011 I was amazed how few people were out there. Thus the early start time. Right about the time we left is when I start feeling ookey about being on the trail. Nice to meet you, Dennis, hope to ride again soon! p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted September 20, 2011 well, I was super bummed about missing one of my few opportunities to ride... I spent an hour swapping tires and drive chain the day before, fired the bike up and acted stupid on 1.06 acres for about 5 minutes... bike worked fine unloaded at Corral, and fired the bike up... started fine gear up, and go to start the bike and nothing... like rrr... tried to jump it from my truck... rrr... ask the boys to bump start me... nothing ask paul to tug start me... 20 foot darkie in the road come home and see some more gas coming from the air box overflow... unload the bike, and it starts right up so... float valve needle is my best guess... unfortunately, at this time, my garage is a tomb for all the crap that won't fit in my house while remodeling... so it'll have to sit I should've brought the TTR125... Aaron, Ed, Dan, Paul, Thane and Dennis (am I forgetting anybody?) glad you guys got a good ride in; sorry for delaying the start Nice pictures Paul, thanks for sharing as always Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
