You were not kidding when you said a long tip... Well as a residence of san diego and orange county I would be happy to show around point out places of interest cruz with in oc.....

As far as crossing that international boarder make sure all your documents are in order and valid they are hard asses since 9-11...

BTW ummmm where will you put your change of clothes and clean underware and such?

Sorry I'm such a girl about those things...

Do you mind if I ask why you are making suck a long trip on a bike...or are you flying?

lockhard phillips

they are selling a adjustable rearsets or rotary rearsets, well the fact is with them U can lower your footpegs 1 inch, I think will help with the cramping legs...

thanks for the advise about sitting on the tank, never cross my mind, I will try it.....

 

[skibum91]

if you lower the pegs at all, just watch out for ground clearance, don't wanna scrape the pegs in the corners.

 

[bigjimbo]

i just kick my legs up on the back pegs then off the tail of the bike...like laying on your belly in bed....still capable of doing 100+mph just dont wiggle too much

facts.... facts.....facts.....

any advise

hahaha yes seriously
Bike regististration
Proof of insurance (very important in california)
Passport and travel visa (also very important if you are not a citizen)
You will get drilled the purpose of your visit and what you are bringing into the country they may search the bike...

And you should bring credit cards or travlers check its not safe to be riding with a lot of cash and becareful on those jacked up roads in tj man I can barely take any of my cars down there...I'm about 5 minutes tops from mexico when I am home in san diego...

I would also suggest to cross the boarder as early as possible 6 to 9am ish
After and after clubs let out it is packed with idiots and drunks...
Your most likely have to cross in san yosidro because otay close at 10 and tecate close at 12 I believe
