Administrators Eric Hall Posted January 8, 2015 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I always just try plugging it myself first. I know JC Motors and Mission and of course the dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is, if you're not too important for us now with your big full page spread in ADVMoto magazine. I don't have a whole lot on the calendar right now. I'd like to do a local Saturday ride coming up soon out to the desert or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBearRider Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Nobody wants to repair my tire... ONLY 3k miles on that K60. It's the liability. Can you plug it yourself? If not, e-mail me and I may have a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBearRider Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Day 6 we all headed for home. I wanted to get going early but didn't want to ride alone, so I waited. I wanted to stop at a market and get some vanilla and tequila and needed someone to watch my stuff We were all set to go and then Mike's battery died! Mark got out his little jump start battery and in no time we had it going. We stopped in Ensenada to get my stuff and then headed up hwy 3 to Tecate and it started to get REALLY cold! It was maybe 60 in Ensenada but the mercury kept falling the further we went. We got to the south end of Tecate and there was snow on the ground and flurries! Poor Rich was on his 690 with no fairing and had summer gloves with no grip heaters. I felt bad for him but then when I remembered he had a heated jacket, I just started laughing inside my helmet at how cold his hands must have been. Heck, my hands were freezing too even though I have grip heaters. I have some foam grip covers and they don't conduct heat very well. We got to Tacos Mis Tios in Tecate and all of us were shivering. What was kind of cool for me though was this was one of those times I was glad to be on the GSA. I was way ahead of them most of the time and had to stop a few times for them to catch up. They said it was just too cold to go that fast but I figure why prolong it? Better to get through it quicker. At least it's good to know how well that bike is on the highway and is a great example of the flexibility and value of that bike. I can ride to my dirt experience and then ride home with no truck or trailer! Our last stop of the trip. All in all it was about 1200 miles and 6 days. Mike rode all the way back to Hollywood on his 800 and Mark rode all the way to Ventura on his HP2! I pussed out and hitched a ride w/Rich which gave me time to catch up on email and warm up a bit. It hit 26 F on my temp guage when Tomek and I were on the road to Tecate. No snow though. I now wish we would have stopped at Tacos mis Tios. It's a great place. I could have a couple of their tacos right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomek S Posted January 20, 2015 My Ride Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Can't you just photoshop it? I wish... I just got Mitas 10. Will see how that one rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBearRider Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) I've got a fever for Baja, and the only prescription is more Baja (or cowbell)... Got a couple of new Baja maps, and a few books. Baja Legends is a really nice read: http://www.amazon.com/Baja-Legends-Characters-Locations-California/dp/0932653472 What does one have to do to get a couple of warning points around here?
