I had a really good race going, the course was a lot of fun with a little bit of everything, some fast stuff, some sand, some technical rocky stuff, and not a ton of whoops. Unfortunately the race ended early for me and the rider that went down hard right in front of me and had to get flown out of the desert.

A reliable source told me that the way electric bills are calculated for SDG&E customers with solar will be changing, possibly as early as August, but existing systems will be grandfathered in their existing rate structure. If you're thinking about doing solar, I would recommend doing it sooner rather than later.

Oh man, that sucks. First your gf, now you. I hope you took good care of her when she was hurt, and she's healed up enough to return the favor.
-
Not gonna make this one, dammit. Let me know if you still want to pit with TNR, I can get you in touch with them.

Bagstr's advice is pretty sound, with the only exception being 480v delta is around, but the only place I see it is for giant well pumps in groves and water districts. But it doesn't matter whether it's produced wye or delta as long as you only need the 3-phase power and it's wired properly.

Hey Ken, I ride a Yamaha WR 450, #63s. I'm part of the Top Notch Racing club, we're a pretty small club, but it's a great bunch of guys if you ever want to come pit with us, or just next to us. I ended up 34th OA, 3rd in class.
Edit: My first name is Jeff, sorry forgot that part. Hope to meet everyone out there sometime.

Hope your gf heals up ok, 350thumper. I stopped for a downed rider right after the bomb run, he and his bike did 2 or 3 cartwheels right in front of me. He ended up being banged up but nothing serious, so I took off again, pretty much in last place. I ate a bunch of dust the first lap, but I felt like I was riding really well, and passed a bunch of people to get back up to 35th OA. I thought they told me I was the 3rd senior novice also, but maybe not. I'm thinking I lost about 5 minutes total, curious to see where I would've been without that extra time. OTB has an actual working electronic scoring system, so I should be able to see pretty soon.

I'm planning on being out there for this one as well, also in the senior novice class and the creaky knee club. Just Sunday as well. There's quite a few guys in that class, should be a lot of fun.

A couple years back someone here (Dig Dug maybe?) gave me a page with a bunch of the local repeaters on it, and all the tones needed to use them. I can't find it anymore, does anyone have a copy they could post? It would probably be good info for everyone with a radio to have.
-
Power poles you say? Let me know when you can come up to Ramona, and I might be able to get you 1 or 2 or 30. I've got a tractor tire tire in my yard I'd really like to get rid of also.

We can definitely put you to work somewhere, you can never have too much help!

Here's the flyer for the team race.

SDlineman, Im really interested in the team race on the 16th. I assume you don't have to share a bike? Would anyone be interested in putting a team together?
Correct, you don't need to share a bike, we will have wristbands that you will need to swap at the rider exchange. I'll be working a checkpoint, or I would team up with you. I could use some volunteers also if anyone is interested.

I'm planning on going to the race on the 18th, but I think we're headed to the Lost Lizard Fun Run in OW instead of the race on the 1st.
I don't have any inside info on it, but I'm thinking the race on the 1st might be slower and more technical than most if it's only 3 laps instead of the standard 4. Just a guess though.
My club is putting on the team race on Nov 16, and I can tell you it will have some fast and some slow and technical, with a chance to switch riders in between. Should be a lot of fun.
-
On my way. I'm in a grey ford Dually and a Yamaha #63s in the back.
-
I sent you a PM, pretty sure we can take care of it. This will be my first race after a year off because of knee surgery. Really looking forward to lining up out there again.
-
I'm planning on going out for this one. You're more than welcome to come pit with our club, Top Notch Racing. We're small, but everyone is friendly and willing to lend a hand. What class are you planning on entering? I work with the Senior class steward also, I can get you in touch with him if you want to get signed up for the district beforehand.

It's not really moto specific, but my favorite tool is my little cordless impact. I use it to take apart everything, and reassemble pretty much everything except the smaller nuts and bolts on my bike. That, coupled with the socket and bit (screwdriver, allen, torx, etc.) set that I got from Gearbox handles about 90% of what I need to do.

I know Bowers likes it behind and bikeslut in front, I may end up looking like a tuna sandwich.
I'm not sure which disturbs me more; the quote itself, or the fact that I have been the tuna in this sandwich more than once.
-
Can you add me to the "maybe" list also? I've been considering taking one of their classes for a couple of years now, and the timing might just work for me.
-
Probably not exactly what your looking for if MPG is a factor, but my 2010 2wd 6.4L diesel F-450 gets about 6.5 MPG around town ( good thing I only live about a mile from work, I still only have to fill up about once a month if I don't leave town), and about 11 on the highway.
-
it's why I ALWAYS make sure I get 4-6 flats a year, so I can use the new one I just bought before it goes bad
the rear fender pack seems to cause less of an issue than the front... good reminder, though
Fixed it for ya.
Sorry, I'm just getting bored waiting for my knee to get better so I can start riding again.

I'll jump on the band wagon and say that after my first serious injury ( tore my ACL, PCL, and LCL completely, damaged my MCL and Miniscus slightly, and damaged the nerve the controls the top of my foot) it's no question that I would have completely mangled the bike before I mangled my knee if I had the choice. Besides the pain and time off work, I don't think my wife would be trying to get me to sell the bike if it had broken.

#97 (Devin) and I had been battling pretty good, he got ahead of me by a couple hundred feet right before he went down.I didn't see him crash, but I saw a big cloud of dust and saw him in the middle of the trail not moving at all. I found him in a pretty flat part of the course, still astride of his bike, so I'm guessing he had hit something prior to that, and coasted to a stop. I never went back to see what it was that got him. We got Facebook famous just a few minutes before he crashed: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10209029181437334&set=pcb.10209029217798243&type=3&theater. Devin, I'm glad to see you are doing ok, you were out for a couple of minutes, and incoherent up until Lesar loaded you up in their UTV. Heal up quick.
