  2. Many of you knew Bob Engel. His daughter called me last night to tell me he had passed away in mid July. Bob could do things with metal that would simply blow your mind! He turned my 74 Bronco into an artwork. USAF veteran, founder of SoCal Ultimate 4x4, super custom car builder supreme! Godspeed Bob Rachelle is planning a memorial desert get together in November. She also has Bob’s VW Thing and a custom flatbed trailer (Bob built) for sale. Let me know if you are interested in more details...
  3. It is with a heavy heart that I report the passing of my good friend Guy Biggs (PalmAveRider). This was not a good man, Guy was one of the greatest I've known. If there were ever a man who would literally drop anything he was doing to help a friend, or neighbor, or even a stranger in need, it was Guy. I had posted several years ago to the "Firestorm" thread about the Harris fire, and how Guy, along with his brother Jack, came to my aid when fire was heading right up our gullet. This was not only a badass fellow KTM rider, winning many a MX in his time, but also a Firefighter extrordinaire!! You can look up my story if you want to, but the quick-dump is that Guy arrived on my 5 acre Ranchito in Jamul, and the fire literally went AROUND US on all sides. I truly believe that this is because the Harris fire, which took 5 lives, consumed over 90,000 acres, and destroyed over 250 structures on its way to us in 2007, was simply AFRAID to mess with Guy Biggs!!! S please raise you glass, preferably the next time it has a good beer in it, to my good friend Guy Biggs. Until we ride together again my brother, God Speed...

    Corral with Morgan

    Nice write-up Bob, glad to see you and Morgan got some quality time. We did the family run with our friends from Kauai on Monday. Tommy borrowed the Mighty 540 for a ride and brought it back with a broken handguard and demolished tailpiece, but it was one of those once-in-a-great-while rides that I cherish so much now that he's at CS Fullerton. Keep them close and hug them often...

    Radio Symposium?

    I need to get a VHF radio and the fixins to talk with my S-dar buddies, so I'd be interested. ...but what's a "symposium"? (I'm not that smart... don't know how I got this job in the first place...)

    New to SDAR

    Welcome Dai We have the local Desert Scrambles here, and as a younger lad (up to your age) I raced 'em a bit. Lots of great people to meet there as well as on the site here. Looking forward to getting with you and learning a little about the country of my ancestry. Cheers! R-O
  9. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see any posts about a New Year's weekend trip (if I did please PM me a link to the thread). As of this writing, R-O Jr. is feverishly working to get the Rancho Naranja rig ready to travel. I know some of the OTB group will be at OW, but I was thinking about something a little less crowded. Anybody planning to head to Plaster/Superstition this weekend?
