San Elijo Hills - June 5, 2012 Out and about in the hills of San Elijo. I'll be honest, I am having a really hard time getting motivated to ride. It seems I have ridden most of the trails around and with the temperatures rising I find myself looking for excuses to not get on the bike. On a...

Bummer on the paint! Just ride it and by next month you will have long forgotten about that blemish. How do you like the ride?

Awesome Little Motorcycle! I have fond memories of my TW200. This build has got me thinking about another motorcycle! Looking forward to more updates.

Thanks for the encouragement! The grass is always greener on the other side. I would love to be back in Arizona even with the heat. Yes I am, mine failed on April 3, 2012. Post #225 page 23. It turns out you just need to replace the bearings and not the whole bottom bracket. Cost for the...

La Costa Beach Ride - May 30, 2012 Finally hit the beach at the right time! Low tide was set for around 11:00 am. I took off south of the jetty at Ponto Beach. Along the way I came across this bamboo structure. Looks like a work in progress. Rounding the corner by Swami's. Several...

Current milage on the Moonlander is 1,469 miles. The rear tire is like one big slick. The front has a little bit of the knobs left. On the road it is not really a problem. On the trails I am losing traction. I ordered two new tires the other day. Cost $99 a tire. I am not sure if I will...

Quick Trip to the Bank - May 29, 2012 I rode the bike around to San Marcos to drop off some money at the bank. Nothing impressive, just a few more miles on the bike. Distance 11.8 miles Elevation 914 feet Moving Average 11.5 mph

Most of the photographs are taken with a GoPro Hero 2. The landscape panoramic photographs are most likely my iPhone 4s using an app. called Pano.

Critical Mass - May 25, 2012 Miles and I took off on another great adventure down in San Diego. We got a late start around 4:00 pm. First stop was Tecolote Canyon. We rode three different sections making our way north to the 52 freeway. At one point we ducted into this drainage tunnel to...

I think the hoist is used for the spare tire? I'm betting there is a different way to get the bicycles down. My local bike store had this on hand, Boeshield T-9. So we sprayed it thru all of the openings that we could get to. So far it looks like it is working well. http://boeshield.com/...

That's Awesome! I'm digging the table too.

San Elijo Lagoon - May 22, 2012 It is starting to heat up out here in San Diego. I noticed the marine layer was down by the coast and decided to take advantage of the cooler climate. I live 7 miles inland and it is bright and sunny. The beach looked very inviting but once again my timing...

Overland Expo 2012 - May 20, 2012 Well I was lucky enough to make it out to the Overland Expo. The event was fantastic. With that said I spent more time helping out Zach from Overland Gourmet then riding my bicycle. Here is a shot of Mormon Lake. Looking back at camp. The bike turned out...

Good eye! It is a TAD/Strider SnG Concealed Carry in Black. www.tripleaughtdesign.com Oh and Ethan is feeling better and doing well with his new scooter. I hope to see photographs of your new Moonlander in the Netherlands! Well did you make your move on the Pugsley? Another idea would...

Picked up the Jeep - ORW - May 11, 2012 Got the call that my Jeep was ready. It's my wife's Birthday and Ethan is complaining about his stomach. Got the boys off to school, and made a beeline to Off-Road Warehouse. Nothing really to report other than I spent 15 minutes waiting on Elfin...

I think you are right! Problem is the tires are really expensive. I am just over 1400 miles documented on the bike. At this point I almost want to see how far I can go on them. With that said I should order up a pair for when they do go because the local bike store is not going to have them...

I love the shot of the car with the bike. It's like two classics. Keep riding!!

ORW - May 9, 2012 I dropped the Jeep off at ORW to have my rear differential looked at. The noise at highway speed was getting really annoying. From there I took the easy way home with only 515 feet of elevation. Distance 11.1 miles Elevation 515 feet Moving Average 12.3 mph

Thanks. I am trying to stick with it!

Quick Spin in the dirt! - May 7, 2012 Riding out at La Costa Preserve. I believe this is my fastest time to the Boy Scout Kiosk. 17 minutes 46 seconds from my house. Looks like it took me a minute and 5 seconds to catch my breath and get the camera out. The trails are getting dusty...
