One of my favorite things about being on an aircraft carrier when I was in the navy was right when winter kicked in at full speed here in Japan, we’d head south of the Equator and find the summer. Then we’d get back here right as summer was kicking off in Japan. If I ever win the lottery, my goal will be to chase the summer for a living.

You lucky bastard Sully, for many reasons. The only aircraft carrier I've looked at...I never had time to go for the grand tour, was I think it's named the Interprise moored at Pier 88 in NY Harbour.

I've driven past it many times but never had the time.

That’s the Intrepid. If you make it to San Diego, check out the Midway Museum. It’s absolutely awesome.

I have a thing for geese and ducks. My folks had big a property and growing up we had geese, ducks, chickens, a couple of donkeys, horses and some goats. The Oldman wasn't a farmer and the land came from family. 

My dad's sister took over the land when I was 12. We moved across the country as pop's landed a great job. By this time I was 4 yrs into mx and moving to the East Coast opened up loads of new tracks and competition.

Our home in Zululand was big and the Sugar Mill my dad worked for let my oldman build a track on their land. They even provided a grader to build us a track and for regular maintenance. 

Robert Herring, Colin Dugmore, Brett Redman, Greg Albertyn, Gary Butcher, Russell White, Rex Staten and a bunch more used to come ride at our place. My first proper riding school was by Rex. He was dating Tarna at the time. Those were great day growing up and Are fond memories.

How time changes.

Most remote capital city in the world - Perth, Western Australia.

Lots of great off-road riding areas with not many people around.

If you’ve somehow wandered into my part of the world and you’re into big game or sport fishing I can certainly help with that!

Perth is easily top 3 in my favorite cities in the world. Went there twice when I was in the navy in the late '90s.

I was born and raised in San Diego, but I've lived in Yokosuka, Japan (about an hour south of Tokyo) for the past 27 years. Not much in the way of riding in the local area, but I have a house at the beach so I wake up to a view of Tokyo Bay every morning and that never gets old.

I love Japan. Lucky guy.

I grew up in Corona, CA when it was the motocross capital of the world. One of my favorite memories is going to work with my dad and stopping at the Kawasaki test track on the way there to watch Emig, RC, and everyone else get ready for A1. 
 

I also lived in Boston, MA and Chicago, IL for a short amount of time but now I’m back home in Huntington Beach, CA.

Grew up in SE Wisconsin, always said I’d move south as soon as I could so I could ride year ‘round. Moved to Abilene in 2011, lasted about a year there before moving to OKC and have been here ever since. I’m unable to ride anymore due to SCI but I could be a tour guide for tracks and trails here in OK if anybody ever needs suggestions while stopping through! Now days I spend my time in a SXS playing in the eastern half of the state. If any old moto heads here like wheeling in OK/TX/AR let’s link up.E991402C-79B8-44DF-B70D-880D83612355

I live in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. Beautiful place to raise my kids.  Its a high desert climate, lots of glacial rivers and lakes, surrounded by amazing mountains.  I'm not riding much any more, but raced for 35 years.  My family and I ski, snowmobile, mountain bike, play hockey and hang out in our boat.  I work in the powersports industry at a KTM, Honda and BRP dealership.  What do I need help with???? Well, paying for all bikes, skis and hockey gear..

IMG 20190203 134214531 HDR 1Hi guys,

First post here but longtime reader (maybe around 2020 COVID). I have just created and account to reply.

I'm from Argentina, I live in Cordoba city (2nd biggest city), therefore I don't have such a great view as the other members.

Anyway, if you're traveling at this part of the world, write a message and we could organise something. I will cover the first round of drinks.

Have a good weekend, warriors!

I have a thing for geese and ducks. My folks had big a property and growing up we had geese, ducks, chickens, a couple of donkeys, horses and some goats. The Oldman wasn't a farmer and the land came from family. 

My dad's sister took over the land when I was 12. We moved across the country as pop's landed a great job. By this time I was 4 yrs into mx and moving to the East Coast opened up loads of new tracks and competition.

Our home in Zululand was big and the Sugar Mill my dad worked for let my oldman build a track on their land. They even provided a grader to build us a track and for regular maintenance. 

Robert Herring, Colin Dugmore, Brett Redman, Greg Albertyn, Gary Butcher, Russell White, Rex Staten and a bunch more used to come ride at our place. My first proper riding school was by Rex. He was dating Tarna at the time. Those were great day growing up and Are fond memories.

How time changes.
