L.R.S.

Home Depot screwed me on the order. Paid via the PayPal link, easy. They sent me a purchase confirmation email, then 5 mins later a payment declined email. Effers. Plenty of $ in the PayPal account, not sure why it wouldn't go through. 

Red Earth has water, free, super convenient. I fill up there regularly.

Very strict rules from the CHP on busses being used as standard passenger vehicles. I converted a short bus for a client maybe 10 years ago. Had to remove all the seats and install regular seats with belts, and had to cover up the windows with sheet metal. So school bus seats and windows are safe for our children but not DOT approved for regular passengers. Got it.

This isn't that fast compared to you fast guys, but something like this maybe. We started at the bottom of China Wall and ended at Road Runner 11 minutes later. It felt fast in a SxS anyway 🙂

 

 

I remember that ride. I was I camp with a broken frame. Didn't you say you had video of you following me that weekend...

Thanks! Bought 6 of them. 

We raced Baja 1000 in 2011 and DNFd, then again for the 2012 peninsula 1132 mile race. I was there for 10 days prerunning and it was such a great experience. 

Buying a used toy hauler and it needs 6 tires immediately (like before I even move it). Plan to get new tires and new Method's or something cool like that but all out of stock right now. Trying to get the toy hauler this week so we can use it Thanksgiving week. Looking for a used set of wheels/tires to get me by until I get new ones. 

Current wheels/tires 225 x 75 x 15

I think Grant is 40some cars deep on the waiting list - or so I was told.

The Funco alphabet is like Harley Davidson's! 

Grant will walk you thru and ask all the questions and your answers will determine what soup you get.

Yep. Only things more confusing are KTM dirt bikes. I've seen and driven every model Funco except the Qatar ones, and even I couldn't tell you the difference. It's a 2 seater or a 4 seater to me. New models have the G52 or GTX, etc in the beadlock rings.

Hopefully these illegal OHVs get towed/impounded so there's more room for those of us with legal OHVs.  

Heard it was just the women

@acefuture tell me not to buy this

Happened right in front of our camp. He's ok, the cars safety features did their job.

I was parked in between that Funco and the guy with the desert tires on the SxS who was looking for a fuse.

And didn't say hello? 

@URCLEVER I still have sand in my eyes. The ride back from the Ledge last night was fun though! Joe Hall was ready to bump tires but I told him not to.

FYI for anyone who frequents the Ledge, aka Sunset Hill, there's A HUGE EFFING HOLE right in the middle. There was a death last night caused by the hole and from what I  was told- not being belted in before leaving. Sad day. The season hasn't even really started yet. 

2005 Honda TRX450R, all stock engine, wider Renthal dirt bike handle bars (more comfortable for my son), new ASV cutch lever w/E brake delete, green sticker and pink slip in my name.  Tuned by Bryan at Alpha1 Motorsports in Yorba Linda January 2021, rebuilt the carb, checked everything on the quad.  Full set of dirt tires and paddles.  We have owned this quad since August 2017, my son was injured in November 2017 and the quad was in storage until August 2020.  We took it to Nevada and my son put a couple hundred miles on it over the week we were there.  It was ridden in Glamis a few times last season but my son had a YZX SxS to drive so the quad just sat.  My son stepped up to a Yamaha Raptor 700 this past June so his Honda 450R is up for sale.

$3000.  Please don't make me sell this on Craigslist or Racedezert.com.  The quad is in my trailer in storage in Glamis.  I can get it back to LA, deliver it to Phoenix, San Diego, etc.

They are yours amigo... lemme know when you want to grab them!

 

Cool man. Bring them to Glamis and I'll swing by?

I'll take them man. Good for spares in the trailer.

$250 for a single VIN for the entire season is a great deal. If I had a buddy in our camp that broke I'd hand him $250 before attempting to tow him out of the dunes. Transaxles are expensive AF and parts are non existent right now. Not worth risking my season for that kind of dough.

I've got no inside connection or special knowledge but maybe the challenge to find labor, risk of liability, fines, etc. just isn't worth it when running the business that isn't main income source?  As mentioned - who's going to enforce?  I was at Staples Center Saturday - first security check is for Covid - they didn't even bother - you could have handed them a your 4th grade report card or flashed your pic on phone of anything - if you said it's right here and pointed to phone - they sent your through.  Masks required as you entered - once inside - took the mask off.  90% of people in my section didn't have a mask on.  Nobody enforcing anything in downtown LA at a televised event.  

We went to Joe Rogan on 9/11/21 at the Forum in Los Angeles and you had to show a vax card or a negative test with in 72 hours of that that day to get in.  Same thing- show them a picture of a document on your phone and they glanced at it and waved you right through. There were signs all over the place saying masks were mandatory but my son and I didn't wear one in line with our tickets, in line to get the cell phone bag or the security line/metal detector.  No on said sh!t to us about masks.  Once in the venue there were people walking around with lit-up signs saying masks were mandatory but we just ignored them.  I'd guess about a third of the people were wearing masks. Funny to see people with a beer pull their mask down, take a sip and pull the mask back up.   

I really bummed about Duners not opening again this season.  It is a destination for some food, drinks and hanging out.  We usually went a couple times a season.  I'm friends with the owners son an we talk regularly.  Duners isn't about turning a profit, it's about the atmosphere and like minded people having a place to get together.

One more season of not having this view...

If I bitch slap sober you let drunk you know who it's from.

You have a compressor built into your RV for filling RV tires. It'll go to 120psi. Now you can get a $100 pancake for your garage.
