I had a bit of time on Memorial Day so took the DR350 out for a ride, my normally nighttime ride through the industrial areas of Wilmington and the Port of Los Angeles to the rich coastal area of Palos Verdes with its twisty roads.

Junk and junk

Two wheels is fun.

DR350 Mission Accomplished

Mission accomplished.

All in all the bike performed very well this weekend. It ran great, the only mechanical issue I had was a sheared kickstand bolt, I made quick work of that Friday morning and went out on the above solo ride up the old Darwin toll road. It sure was a lot of fun to take the bike up the loose and rocky sections of the toll road and the Reward Mine access road.

Saturday night I got changed out of my riding gear and headed over to the dinner and raffle. As usual the dinner was good and the raffle entertaining. I managed to win an ADVMoto subscription and dual sporting DVD and procured a machete for my KLR. That night I had a couple beers and went to bed a bit early, I was too wiped out for the sort of debauchery I was expecting to be up to.  I went back to camp to retrieve my bottle of Karma Tequila I had one in a previous year’s raffle, took one drink, then gave it to the folks at the campfire to pass around.
