motojerk 0 Posted November 4, 2015 Hello all, Troy form San Diego here. Born and raised here in sunny SD. Been riding since I was 13, so not such a Total Noob. All dirt and sport bike mosly. Had a KLR for about 2 years, sold it and picked up a 2014 BMW F800GSA. Looking to find all the cool back roads and local multi day rides fit for big bikes. This F800 is not my YZ450F, but love this thing. I've been working in the industry now for over 15 years now at local shops; SD House of MC, Alba, Moto World, Vey's & currently at BikeBandit.com. Look forward to going on some rides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's taken around Rancho San Francisco. Just north of Pirates Cove or Camlu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMA # gets you 10% but it has to match your address so it's by individual, not an overall code. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
