Stutz 40 Posted September 10, 2025 This is kind of an introduction as well. I usually go down south to Otay Mountain Truck trail, but wanted to do something different. The bike is a 1972 Honda SL350, and I re-geared it so that I can ride it on the highway, but still need to sustain 6500rpm or so. Once I got out to Ramona though, it was a blast to take up Black Mountain OHV Trail. I have a lot more miles on a mountain bike/bicycle and did a significant amount of BMX and Track racing, but I started out on a bike like this in 1985 or so (1971 Suzuki TS185). I'm definitely more in to vintage motocross than strictly ADV, partially due to my budget, and one more bike would be too many! I saw a couple ADV riders on my way home stopping for gas, maybe it was a member of this group... Black mountain was just rocky enough to keep the speed reasonable and fun factor high, I only saw one other rider, but there are a few blind corners and blasting around one of those seems like a great way to get hurt. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 1030 Posted September 10, 2025 Nice to see some older bikes! I recently sold my vintage Honda's (1970 Trail 90, 1985 XR350R) and only have modern stuff now. Hard to beat an old Honda, hope to see you out there sometime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stutz 40 Posted September 10, 2025 If I can keep my bike working, you will! I've managed to bring it back to life and abuse it for a couple years, so I expect so. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
