New wheels, new Hubs = Happy Kid.

Had to throw his cowboys boots on and ride it around the yard slowly to make sure all good before heading somewhere to ride this weekend.

I’d call this more than fair compensation for house/dog sitting this past week. A little Texas gold...if you know you know 👌

Impossible to beat fresh tortillas. There’s a hole in the wall in downtown SD. Parking is horrible, always a line, not the cleanest place but damn the tortillas are good. Freaks our Atl team out when we take them there. Someone grabs some to go every time.

My have Moto-X bikes changed since the late 60's all through the 70's when us older guys, young guys then, ushered them in!!! We could buy a YZ 250 Silver gas tank with the straps holding it on for $900.00 believe it or not. :)

Those are bad ass bikes. After blowing up my KX100 I put a mid range pipe, reed valve, and shorty silencer. I swear the power band hits harder than my CR250. Fun little violent bikes.

Yeah - The Reed believe it or not makes a huge difference. VFORCE is the shit.

Hopefully his 112 get here soon. We will have a 2021 KX100 for sale!

When he is off of my checkbook, I'm going to buy a couple older bikes and restore them just because I enjoy tinkering with them. I don't even ride :) but man I love watching him and and everyone else.

Those wheels cost more than that $900 YZ250. It's crazy!

Petra and Nati's. The Pride of Barrio Logan. I love that place. It's been there since the 30's.

Miss those days.... good to see Kaw still running green color. Are Hondas still red and Yamahas yellow? Been a while for me.... as an example last time I looked at a bike Honda had just launched the silver Elsinore 250. That was the bad boy of dirt back then.

We were racing Escape Country the day the Jones boys rolled them, the Silver and Green bikes, out of the box vans!!!!!! The meanest sounding two strokes at the time. I think they both broke that day!!

Is that a flipped car to the right of the ramp?

Damn. Sad I didn’t even notice that. I was just telling my wife get a pic of why we can’t launch at the west ramp.
Definitely a bad day for someone.

It's a training car for lifeguards, swiftwater rescue.......

Hmm. I’ll have to ask my daughter to see if she knows. Or at least talk to the lifeguards when I’m out tomorrow evening.

I asked the lifeguards about it in '14 when the lake was really low from the drought, they said LAPD, LAFD, LACOFD, LASD use it for training day or night, I saw LACO ocean Lifeguards training a couple years ago.
