Meet Saturday 8:30 AM (leaving 9:00) at Packards by Circle K in Ramona and decide on the route. Option A. Black Mountain truck, 79, Lost Valley, Puerta La Cruz, lunch, Palomar, home. Option B. Black Mountain truck, 79, a fire road loop in San Felipe area between 79 and S2, S2, lunch in Ranchita, Gravevine Canyon, 78, S2, Rodriguez/Oriflame up, home. Nothing is technical and good speeds will keep us cool. Many options to bail out. I think, I'll pyro to Ramona. Alex (papa) 858-414-7874. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

papaalex 5 Posted July 12, 2007 any sand or real rocky sections? I might consider a V strom ride, but the DRZ is not up for that much pavement... knobby issues Option A has minimum of sand and rocks If we choose option B, we get some sand in Grapevine and Oriflame and some rocks in Oriflame, not that bad at all.

Joliet 0 Posted July 13, 2007 I wanna ride too but my KTM cauhgt fire last night and its in the shop. Not a problem, just take the Rokon out . Borrow Cree's new bike, he knows how gentle you are on dirt bikes . If you are going to wheelie for miles at a time, you might look into getting your carb mounted at an angle so the float works properly Details??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirt dame 561 Posted July 14, 2007 Ditto to what Hamster sez. And you are lucky too, that your bike is still under warranty, or you'd be payin' out the pocketbook worse than I just did Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
