The TT250 San Felipe Run – Day 1

Where to begin?

Wow, what a day!

Here’s a strong statement:   My ride through southern California today was the best motorcycle ride I’ve ever taken in the Golden State.    It was that good.

There are six of us on this run…five on TT250s and one on an RX3. We went from Azusa to Tecate (in Baja, where we are now), and we did it on surface streets all the way (not one inch on freeways).   It was roughly 250 miles through towns, deserts, and glorious mountain roads, and it was just great.   I almost collided with a redtail hawk.  We saw a bobcat walking along a trail by the side of the road like he owned the place (maybe he did).  We saw two flocks of wild turkeys and I got photos and video of them.  We had a great lunch up in the mountains in Idyllwild, we stopped for pie and ice cream in Julian, and we just returned from a great dinner in downtown Tecate.  Wowee!

I’ll just post a few photos and one short video for now, folks…it’s late and I’m tired. I’ll post more when I get back to the US.    Boy oh boy, are we having fun!

The boys, less yours truly. From left to right, that’s Willie, Mike, Matt, Dan 1, and Dan 2. Well, maybe I got the Dans mixed up.

Where we stopped for a great Italian lunch in Idyllwild earlier today. You need to ride with us!

On the road south of Julian, with my iPhone doing a great job as a GPS! It’s tied in to our standard underseat accessories plug!

Our good buddy Matt! This is the first time Matt rode with us. Matt bought a new TT250 and he is putting it to good use. We love this guy…he is a great rider.

Our good buddy Willie! Willie owns an RX3 and a TT250! He is the most interesting man in the world!

The bottom line: The riding was fantastic today (incredible, really) and the bikes are running gloriously.   Everybody loves the TT250, and it is showing itself to be a great motorcycle.

Hey, did you think I was kidding you about those wild turkeys?   Take a look at this!

That’s it for today…we’re headed for San Felipe tomorrow. We are having fun.   You should be here doing the same.   Stay tuned…as always, there’s more coming your way.
