I think you meant to write "sl-utty" chicks, eh? :P

Looking at the offroading ads and "marketing" gals at the offroad races, it does seem that knuckle draggers like their women sl-utty :lol::lol:

I prefer the granola chicks in mtn biking :P:P

I always say my motocross bike (CRF450) is the best exercise machine ever made.
As for chicks... any competitive dirt bike racer has very little time to spend of them... so yes we like them as desribed above.

I drove from San Javier/Comondu/San Isidro/Hwy 1 on 3/21. Glad it was you riding it and not me! Going north from the SJ road about 10 miles in there is the sweeping ascent onto the mesa. Work was being done and a dozer was spreading fresh dirt so it was very loose surface. Used low range and climbed the hill, about half way up was a 2wd Toyota pickup carrying a large compressor. He could go no further but could back up a bit to let me go by. Right after that I met the dozer coming down and there was just room for us to pass. At about 2/3's up the grade I saw a bright spot of Caterpillar yellow and as I got closer realized it was a large front end loader tipped over on it's side. Again just enough room for me to get by without running off the cliff but it was kinda close. Went past, stopped and walked back down to talk to the two guys there. The younger, in his 20's, said he was the driver. He was working aimed uphill when his brakes failed. This was a very bad situation since the grade is steep and going over the side at that point no doubt would have been fatal. He said he jammed it into the lowest gear, killed the engine and steered into the cliff side. The rig went over on it's side and slid to a stop. His only injury was some skin scraped off his hip. He still had a pretty good adrenaline rush going on which was understandable.

I continued on to Comondu, some rough spots with loose rock but not too bad. After La Purisima and San Isidro I headed east toward Hwy 1 keeping in mind David's recent report on that road. I have traveled that route quite a number of times over the years but this was the worst. There was nowhere that I didn't think I could traverse but it was very rough and very slow going, often crawling along in low range especially on the steep portions. Took me about 2 1/2 hours to go 30 miles. I feel bad for the ranchers out there, it must be very difficult for them.

I was driving our old 2000 Explorer and managed to not break anything.

Hey Kurt,
So they were dozing the grade up from Palo Chino (the San Javier side of the mesa)? Not yet anything done on the other side, dropping down to El Horno? That was worse (in February)... low range for safety and braking.

Here's a look at the grade up from Palo Chino to Mesa las Animas:





Signs on both ends of the mesa:

Correct, nothing done on top of the mesa or the northbound downhill toward El Horno which was quite rough with lots of loose rocks. I also went down that in low range.

Have to agree with Stucksucks Dirt biking keeps you in Tip top shape. I ride with a 75 year old That David knows Mike that drove the Red Toyota on pole line road few years ago. Tuff as nails riding over 60 years. Too bad the Wimp Mt666 is too scared and weak to try it.
