graydog 0 Posted April 8, 2008 Any newbie older guys like me, 64yrs, who llke to ride fire roads and truck trails...maybe desert washes...on weekdays and leave the gonzo riding to the younger folks who heal faster for the weekend? I live in La Mesa and would enjoy doing the Otay, Corral Canyon/Bear Valley, etc. rides around here. I am not fast, but steady and enjoy a good afternoon on the dirt taking in the sights. I try to improve with each ride with a major off-road trip on the horizon when my skills will take me there and back. I have a KLR 650 and he rest of the time I ride a Yamaha FZ1 or a Harley E-Glide. Wednesday is about the only weekday I couldn't ride. Carl...aka graydog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frostkerry 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Greydog, If it's OK with you I'd like to put my brother (64 retired last Thursday) in touch with you. He lives in AZ but keeps a KLR with side car at my place in Chula Vista. He visits often and is always ready for 3-wheel do-able dirt rides. Just a thought...

I would love to ride, but it will take some weeks to heal up after my last couple of gonzo rides . I am hoping to be well by the time the Moab ride comes around. I have numbers for a few guys that ride the weekdays, I will see if I can dig them up. Welcome aboard, Ken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandiegoland 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Any newbie older guys like me... I dunno... slow and old is what they always promise... then three rides later it takes me ten minutes to catch up... We'll have to have try-outs to see if you are really compatible with the sightseers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
