Driss 0 Posted October 8, 2011 How long of a ride is this? What time do you plan on getting back? Are you going to return to the start point? I was thinking about trucking my bike to the glider port so I don't waste my tires. Thanks We are planning on a ride that's 4 to 6 hours with a lunch break somewhere we are really going with the flow I will be using a new bike (to me) and would like to get myself familiar with it before my trip to Baja next weekend. Ken as always is coming along for the ride and the pictures. I think me and ken can run a fast pace or a slow one but whatever the group decides we will go for it and we don't care which route you want to take as long as we end up where we started at the end of the day, we are trailering the bikes there.

I was thinking about trucking my bike to the glider port so I don't waste my tires. Thanks Yes back at the start point to retrieve the tow vehicles. It will eat up all day would think--My guess back at the trucks at four.Mileage wise --no clue 70 give or take 30-40 depends how everybody is doing and how many flats we have and what every body wants to do like going up to Idelwild or Toro peak or just staying low.

Ken, You haven't yet taken me somewhere where I couldn't ride or the terrain was really so difficult that I have given up but I do know that I am the only idiot that listened to you and (David) steelrain because you told me that it was ok to go to mikes sky ranch on street tires riding my R1200GS with all three cases loaded and lived to tell about it with really 4 or 5 falls in the sand only. I did had to come home with one case tied with zip ties and if I am not mistaken I lost 20 lbs that weekend. Now wait until I get my new R1200GS Adventure set up and let's go I learned what to do and what I need on the bike to have fun on these monsters to start crank up the dampener put some(knobbbbbies) TKC80's sit on the passenger seat and don't let go of the gas (keep smiling because Ken is always behind you with his camera when you fall).

hodnettjj 0 Posted October 9, 2011 I recently purchased a Drz. Mostly new to the dirt. I was looking for some more folks to ride with in the dirt. What is the current status of this ride? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wing Nut 0 Posted October 9, 2011 It's on. I'm driving from Oceanside with my bike in my truck. Anyone want to carpool? I can drive, or load my bike in someone else's truck or trailer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hodnettjj 0 Posted October 9, 2011 The meet up is the Warner springs glider port? I know nothing of this route, what should I expect? How technical is it considered? I am in Pacific beach, so the drive would be about an hour and a half to hey to the meet up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am in Pacific beach, so the drive would be about an hour and a half to hey to the meet up. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate it as a 5 .( 5 because it will be a all day ride and their may be some ruts and loose sand ) We will try to do all fire and forest service roads. Mabey a bit of single track- mabey no. Yes it is a long ride --can you hook up with the oceanside guy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkug 147 Posted October 9, 2011 Note to all noobs--Be prepared with tools -tubes --full tanks ( we can get gas in Anza ) and a well maintained and solid bike. If you have problems don,t be afraid to let us know so we can adjust before it turns into total crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hodnettjj 0 Posted October 9, 2011 Tools and gas I got..tubes I do not... But I have a first aid Kit lol... like I said I am learning. Should I not go without tubes & a inflation Kit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkug 147 Posted October 9, 2011 Tools and gas I got..tubes I do not... But I have a first aid Kit lol... like I said I am learning. Should I not go without tubes & a inflation Kit? Yes and no--If you are with other riders that can cover for you then you are good to go. If you are riding by yourself or a buddy that does not have that stuff then you may be screwed. Got AAA ? Hey I got a tube but no first aid kit --I am in the same boat. Lets ride . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkug 147 Posted October 9, 2011 Tools and gas I got..tubes I do not... But I have a first aid Kit lol... like I said I am learning. Should I not go without tubes & a inflation Kit? You may want to go riding on a ride that is much closer to San Diego. Like Pine Valley- Romona ect. Warrner Springs- Anza ia a haul for a first ride with our group. Don,t get discouraged their will be plenty of rides to go on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
