Maybe so, but "somehow" nearly all his tough competition is in West Coast and he's in East Coast.  hmmmmm, what a coincidence?!  Not knocking all E coast riders but look at rosters, most top guys are riding W coast.  I strongly feel this was a decision to make it easier on the deegs.  Daddy had a big say so on this, I heard about the mechanic being hurt story and that is why he's E coast.  Not believing that.  I called this (putting him up against less competition) at the end of last season.   The kid is good, no doubt but sure funny how this worked out and how last year he would be in qualifying scenarios just like this.  I think AMA is all about social media and how he (deegs) and his daddy give attention to the sport.  My $.02

The family lives on the East Coast, so it makes sense to me.
I don't think his dad had anything really to do with that, and that it's more of a team decision.

Is there a GD.com meetup at A1?

We should shoot for one at A2!

I'm stoked to see how the new Beta team does! We're title sponsor! Woooo!

I think that's kinda cool.
I also think you're right though, kinda redundant lol.

Either Dio or Motley Crue.
Gonna give the edge to Dio though.

I make a salve with coconut oil and thc(homegrown).  Its soo easy to make cause it's a crock pot recipe and two ingredients...actually using some on my calf muscle that I got hurt rock climbing today and it definitely takes the pain away.

I have a friend with sciatica pain and uses it, she absolutely loves it. It gets deep to the  inflammation to where she can go surf for a few hours and not have cramp up. 

Maybe go to a dispensary and see if they have creams or salves and try that? 

I've been making mine for years and I give it out to my friends and coworkers all the time, I also bake with the oil,  and since its coconut oil you can totally use it as sex lube also!!😂😂

If you were closer I would totally let you have some to try it......you're in riverside? I'm north county sd(vista)...maybe we can make it happen somehow? If you are ok using a thc salve...

I'm curious to know more about this salve you have! Sounds legit!

So hydrating and doing your best to stretch it out is an obvious answer.
If you're open to other stuff, I hurt my back a couple of months ago is a freak deal while on the squat rack.
Back was spasming pretty badly. What ended up helping A. TON. was I took edibles. It completely stopped the
spasms, which helped relax the muscles and allow me to gently stretch it. Helped a lot with healing.

Such a bummer and huge loss to the automotive world.
The documentary on her (I believe it's on HBO Max) was incredible.

I got this Road King Classic a few years ago. I never took a class or got the proper license but found that just getting out and riding was the best way for me to learn and get comfortable. It didn't take me long to decide that it's not for me out here on the busy streets of San Diego. 2000 Road King Classic with about 20k miles. Anyone have an idea of what it's worth? I want to sell it. 

Same. I've got a 2013 FatBoy and after having it for about 3 years, I'm ready to sell it. It's just not worth it. I've almost been creamed multiple times by idiots in cars not paying attention. Lost 2 friends just this year to wrecks on their Harleys.

Are you driving or Co-dog? There is not much that can rival the adrenaline rush of being in a race car down in Baja!

Was co-dog. Love navigating!
Was an awesome experience! It's looking like I'll be racing in the 1000 as well!

Super stoked for the upcoming weeks.
I'm going to be co-driving in the Baja 500!!
For anyone wanting to follow along, I'll be in the #2986 Rancho Racing UTV in the Pro Forced Induction class!
Pretty surreal to be doing this, as I never thought racing would be in the cards for me!

Cancun, playa del carmen area is one of the worst areas in MX for tourists getting robbed, killed, tainted alcohol, etc.  The US state dept has a 'do not travel to' advisory for that state in MX.

If you stay on the resort, you're fine. No reason to leave them anyway.

We canceled our trip to Cancun, not worth the saving of money to be on the beach where so many random killings happen in the country,  you dont hear about this many random shooting in Canada the other boarder country, 

The big issue is that the local police or government. does not really react to these situations, they make a press release that they are looking into it, and make a statement that it is so Radom, Fuk Mexico.  I will spend my money in the States.  

Just stay on the resort and you're fine. The killing on those public beaches aren't random anyway. It's usually cartel beef.
Rarely are any innocent Americans involved.

Baja is fine and the racing will continue.  Lots of teams down there now prerunning the Baja 500 scheduled in two weeks.

THANK YOU!
Everyone freaking out, just stay home.
Nobody in this forum makes enough money for the cartels to give a crap about them.
Innocent Americans being killed down there is EXTREMELY rare.

So I've had heard of him, and his son and when using a radio was always told to stay off that channel but I frankly don't know anything about the purpose or what he did for the racing community. I would love to know more. Would anybody care to fill in clueless off roader like me about him or what took place and how can he be "dumped?" Sort of thing? Was it a paid profession? Anywho, just being nosy I guess but I know he meant a lot to the racing community. Thanks! 

They provided location services for a lot of race teams who needed an update on where their race vehicle was and what their status was. They also were VERY important when it came to coordinating emergencies. If there was a medical emergency situation they were the ones in contact with emercency services giving updates and locations so that the injured party could get the help they need.
In a pre-Starlink world, it was always a great experience to have the race map up and have the weatherman tuned in so you could hear updates on what was going on with different teams. A lot of times people watching the map would help out with status information. It was a preatty cool community thing in that regard.
I'm definitely gonna miss it.
I don't see how this was a good call from SCORE. We'll see....

If you're so afraid to fail you never begin, you'll never win.
Failure is a part of life. The only thing you can do I give it your best effort, and learn as much
as you can along the way! Rock and Roll baby!!

Hit up @McGruff38 he had an Ultra up until a year or two ago. I've been with him several times with it, and it seemed to be a solid boat!

He should have gotten an opportunity at Auburn or Florida. Colorado is lucky to have landed him, I hope it works out for both the school and the PAC12 (soon to be PAC10 again)

He woudn't have ever coached Florida due to him playing college at FSU.

Looking for someone that is very versed in (or can point me to info) regarding the advantages/disadvantages between Smart Meters and Analog electric meters. Specifically dealing with SDG&E. I am trying to figure out if I go back to having a Analog meter does that make it so they can't see what time of the day power is going onto the grid and when it is coming off the grid. After seeing a 750% increase in our bill last month (after they switch the time of use charge codes/times) I need to find a way to get this back under control.

Backstory. Put solar on our house 5 years ago and after our "grandfathered period" they switch the TOU times so the expensive time is now 4pm to 9pm (you know when there is no sun out). The past 5 yrs we broke even or got a credit at the end of the year, now we are looking at $150/mo bill again. Basically close to where we were BEFORE we put solar on the house. All I have to saw is F SDGandE

Hit up @McGruff38 he used to work for Edison with meters and electrical. Works with a solar company now.
He knows his stuff.

LAPD is the most hated force in the country, according to my 3 LAPD friends of varying levels. One Major Crimes, one Sargent, one patrol officer. 

My dad ran the shooting qualification range for CHP and LASO for years and would hear both sides talk so much sh!t about one another. 

Haha yeah, I've got a couple dude I know who are LAPD. They've been grinding that axe for decades!

Man.... I'm crackin up!
Missed these type of threads!

Thank you!

I was told it had something to do with it being on Native land. The state did something (can't forget what) to piss them off, so they just said screw it, and are shutting it down.

Just got it today! Pretty stoked!
Bumping for help!

Hey everyone! 
So I bought the helmet below, and now I'm looking to get it wrapped.
Does anyone know anyone who does it? How much it would run me?
Painting is STUPID expensive from what I've read.
