I took a day trip today out to Anza Borrego with a couple of buddies. I was on my 610, and my buddies were on a BMW Xchallenge, and a DRZ400. The weather was perfect. 75 ish for the high. We staged at the Butterfield Ranch RV resort. The cost to park for the day is $5. We decided to re-ride part of last years Desert Dash. We took S2 south to Ocotillo (at I-8), gassed up and headed up "section 4 hard". Last year we arrived at this point after riding 120 miles from the start of the Desert Dash. I thought it would be fun to ride it again on the big bikes (we did the Dash on the 250's). The 610 was perfect. My backside is still thanking me for the XPC seat I received last week. I had one of my patented "Zero MPH" tipovers in a rocky sandwash. No damage to me or the bike. Not much traffic today (football games ). Had a blast. R/ Mike
