zee 0 Posted March 2, 2010 Hi My name is Zafar. I 42 years old and live in central San Diego. I work in the computer software field. I recently became interested in motorcycles as a way to explore back roads and other trails. I am an avid photographer and really look forward to exploring new places. (Check my photo stream http://www.flickr.com/photos/zafar1 I am still considering my first bike purchase from all the options in dual sports. I have read much about the desert trails around San Diego, I would be interested in learning more about forest and beach (or near-beach) trails in southern California.

Not so sure you will find any trails near the beach, but at least there's plenty of sand out in the desert, and you can always ride over to the Salton Sea.
