  1. Every now and then I get on usajobs.gov and quite often I see mechanical and maintenance jobs paying pretty good if you don't mind working for the goberment.
  2. Well I'm glad we went. Gave a few bucks for the pics and some raffle tickets. Got a call awhile ago saying we won Crew tickets. Thanks Iron Pony and Defenders for supporting a good cause.
  3. We stopped by got some pics and bought some stuff. Had a pretty good raffle there too if you get the time yall should stop by.
  4. Cool thanks. We'll have to do that while we are there for Santa pics.
  5. Just for the week. My wife's grandfather is pretty sick and had surgery the other day and it didn't go so well. We bought tickets and flew in friday night so our son could spend some time with him. We are leaving Sunday morning.
  6. Is it any picture and a random drawing or is it a prize for the best picture?
  7. I'll probably bring my son and nephew down.
  8. I can see bored high school kids going out and speeding just to piss people off.
  9. I appreciate the offer but that's more than I'm looking to pay I'm just going to use it to haul a bike or 2 a handfull of times a year. Plus getting that from you to me is easily going to cost a grand in gas. But have you ever fit a bike inside the back? If so do you have any pics?
  10. I need a bike hauler since i sold my truck awhile back. Trucks out here are expensive but vans are pretty easy to come by. I've known a few people who have hauled bikes in cargo vans and others who have hauled dirtbikes in conversion vans. I have found a couple of decent vans around $1k which seem to be close to nada rough value. The one I'm leaning towards most is a 99 e-150 econoline conversion van with 189,000 miles. Supposedly great condition. It's one of the ones with carpet all over captains chairs and the back seat turns into a bed. Does anyone know how hard it is to remove the seats in one of these? Does anyone know if a sportbike will fit thru the rear opening? I don't mind if I've got to remove the windshield. If not it has a tow package so I can pick up a small trailer. I think it would be convenient to be able to haul the bike and be able to sleep in the same area. Are there any issues that the 99 e150's are know to have? Any idea on what normal gas mileage is for these? Does anyone know how hard it is to mount the pitbull tie down system(i think its called the trs) in a van? Any advice about using a van for hauling a bike?
  11. I think this is the same one a buddy of mine sent pictures of some of the bikes from. Pretty bad from what I saw. He said a van pulled out infront of them.
  12. I was shopping for helmets a couple weeks ago and came across an icon helmet I liked, the icon airmada with the chainbrain graphic. I was nervous about ordering a helmet online due to the fact I'm inbetween most helmet sizes. Nate answered all of the hundred some questions I asked him and helped me size the helmet. The price was way better than advertised and I doubt anyone can come close to the price riders discount is selling these for. I was pretty excited that when I put the helmet on it was snug but a perfect fit no pressure points or loose spots. I'm definitely glad these guys @ riders discount hook us up so well. Glad to have them around and will happily use them again. Thanks guys.
  13. It's all good until July August when the temps are around 114* Then the rain starts and screws up all the good roads.
  14. There was an 80's movie that had a chase scene filmed on this road. The movie was called The Wraith had some cool cars and awesome 80's acting.
  15. Heres the down hill video. Im working on the mirror mounted video now. It looks pretty cool with the lean angles but it is really shaky. http://youtu.be/ycErmWgNADg
  16. Got together for a ride the other day with some friends. It got a little chilly at the top of the Mountain @52* F but it was a fun ride. It just sucks that this is one of the only local roads that has curves.
  17. I'd be down to send some $ via PayPal or whatever. I really liked when we got together at Walmart a few years back and bought a bunch of stuff to send to the troops.
  18. I have a plasma it has a good picture for a 720p tv. Walmart had a sale on 74in smart tv vizios for $1645. A week or so ago.
  19. Out of curiosity what all have you done to the bike? What gearing are you running?
  20. I always pass if its clear. Most peoples self preservation kicks in and they often give you plenty of room if you've misjudged the room needed for a pass allowing you to squeeze between opposing traffic and them on the line if need be. But when i pass its normally at a very quick rate especially on the double yellow. I recently posted a video on here that shows me passing multiple times on the double yellow.
  21. Yeah I screwed up mounting them and they are fixed. I'd buy new ones but apparently contour, the camera company, went outta business so their mounts are really expensive. Also some shit bag stole my suction cup mount off my bike the other day in Tombstone while I was getting lunch. So I'm down a few mounts.
