Been in California my whole life.
Canyon Lake is a nice community and has many options to ride close by. Remember Elsinore motocross park 1000 plus riders on a Saturday around 2005 ish. I lived in that home from 98 to 2010. That home is a money tree due to homes having stupid values as you’re aware.
I live in HB. I also have a home on the Monterey Peninsula and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
I will say, I think Canyon Lake has a little bit better weather right now than Myrtle Beach. Myrtle has nice weather about nine months out of the year, the other three are miserable😂😂😂
Also, the rangers started patrolling the hills and were impounding bikes before I moved out of that community
It’s simple. We aren’t making it. Unless my friends get huge cash injections from mom or dad OR buy houses they can’t afford on bad rates with PMI and 3% down.
A friend of mine did just that and his 225k house is gonna end up closer to 850k at the end of the note.
He swore they’d make double payments but the money for that isn’t there. Anyways, shoot your local lender lol.
Non-Moto. Get this off the main page ML.
What you outlined has nothing to do with local lenders.

By sensible “cars” you mean SUV’s, trucks, and crossovers right? Car sales are wayy down in the US to the point where some manufacturers dont even make sedans anymore. A large percentage of men drive trucks and most women drive SUV’s. Men also drive lots of SUV’s. They may come across as more “sensible” but a 2026 chevy silverado starts out at $40,000 and goes up to $70,000. A 2026 ford explorer suv starts at $42,000 and goes up to $56,000. They may look like average joe vehicles on the road, but the normal vehicle of today costs as much as a mercedes did 10 years ago. Its wild. Even used cars are expensive as hell now. 10 years ago you could get a nice used volvo s40 with 120k miles for like $4500. These days in order to get a decent used car youre spending $8000 minimum and if you dont want a complete shitter or something with super high miles closer to $10,000 or even $12,000. Its fucked out here.
”SUVs have surpassed sedans as the most popular vehicle type in the U.S., with over half of new vehicle purchases in recent years being SUVs. In 2022, SUVs and pickup trucks accounted for 72.9% of new vehicle purchases.”
As a 30 year old college grad all I can say is things cost an arm and leg. It's insanely expensive to live these days. Daycare for our son costs $2000 per month. Yes really , and that's considered on the low end in our area. Add in student loans, expensive food/utilizes/insurance and insane cost of housing and you get most people living paycheck to paycheck. It's even worse in blue states where you get taxed to death. My a wife and I both work making well over six figures but after taxes and deductions you aren't left with a lot. Then the cost of living takes the rest. It's sad to see and our society going downhill, people don't want to reproduce and I don't blame them..
‘Here’s a huge list of legitimate reasons’
‘Yeah but the immigrants’
You can claim to not be a racism, but ignoring legitimate reasons for motocross challenges to go after brown people make it’s a pretty hard case to make… You look at facts, then turn to racism, and then claim not to be racist… my spidey senses tell me… ummm your probably a racist…
And I don’t need my legally binding vegemite toast to tell me that…
maybe you should go outside, get some air, and encounter people that maybe don’t look like you… without being a racist about it.
Yes, individually people can do things to improve their lives… but what matters is the macro not the micro… That’s why they study Macroeconomics and not ‘pull yourself up by your bootstraps economics’. Individual cases of economic self improvement are not helpful in improving society…. At all.
My dad worked part time in the 80s and owned and raced road bikes while paying off a house… this is the sort of mobility that allows sports like ours to prosper not individual cases of economic self improvement but societal level economic security.
So while you can choose what wanky sports car to jump in I yearn for a time where that’s not necessary to enjoy this sport… where economic security simply comes from living in a prosperous company and working what’s needed to survive — and what’s needed is a part time job and if you want to thrive and raise a family, a solid union job is easy to come by and provides security unmatched today.
I just don’t want think celebrating a world of have-it-alls and have-fuck-alls is like… good… in the Christian sense.
The problem is possibly the prevalence of online porn. There’s no desire to get out in the world, improve yourself when you’ve got all your needs/desires/dopamine covered at home.
Wages have not kept up with inflation for 50 years. This was somewhat hidden by declining interest rates but those low rates since 2009 just made inflation worse. Medical monopolies are driving a lot of cost too. It has been growing at 7% per year since the 80s. Medical costs should be 10-20% of what they currently are. The federal government would have to prosecute the medical industry and enforce the Sherman-Clayton antitrust act to make that happen.
The immigrants drive down wages and drive up medical and housing costs. Those do not help the situation.
People don’t have the spending money they used to have. Things like new cars and dirt bikes get cut before food and housing. Restaurant traffic has been dropping here for years now. Before Covid restaurants were packed. It has been noticeably downhill since then. The last year or two I have been noticing fast food traffic is down.
I get around this county a lot, in the last 9 months I have had jobs in Dallas, DC, Denver and LA. In every region you see a totally different mix of vehicles. In Dallas everyone is driving Raptors, Teslas, Jeeps, or European cars. In DC lots of people were driving dodge rams, crossovers, and economy cars and SUV. IN Denver it was lots of 4Runners, Tacomas, Jeeps, and Subarus. LA had a pretty good mix of everything, but I did see a lot of older Japanese cars which you dont really see much anywhere else.
I've been in Oregon my whole life. Central Oregon is all Subarus for the granolas, Jeeps, and big pickups for the country folk.
Portland is a mixed bag, but still a ton of Subarus and SUVs.
It's an issue but not that big of an issue.
Be careful, you might be racist! 🤣
Sometimes it’s comical: the way the web provides us with prime examples of stupid. Isn’t it?
I’d love to compare Mr. Racist-Maker’s immediate family composition to mine. It might be entertaining, to say the very least. If he ran his mouth like that in person, it would be pretty funny to watch my 18 y/o daughter give this idiot a thorough ass chewing. She doesn’t suffer “wannabes” well.
Sometimes, I think these “way out there kooks” are Russian bots 🤪
A generation is only as intelligent as the education the previous generation provided.
Surely you have the wherewithal to elaborate?
You mean when you ignore the actual reasons to focus on being racist… you are then accused of being racist… and then issue a warning ‘be careful you might be accused of being racist’…
So yeah, if you are prone to racism you might be accused of being racist…
And bringing your daughter into this is weird and creepy and weird man… I’m choosing not engage with that weirdness… wtf bro… weird.
Pit Row
She’s had to deal with real actual racism in high-school and has no patience for asinine kooks that spout off about it without actually knowing what the fuck they’re talking about…
You know, someone like you.
Oh..and she’s still young; yet, way ahead of you. That’s the point that’s sadly lost on you…but, I digress.
But, the best part? Is the likes of you calling any one…anyone-else..at all…weird or creepy.
Ya know, you’re too spun to be a bot. Even a Russian bot. 😂
You Really Can Not Make This Shit Up
Again, I list legitimate reasons motocross is in trouble and ya’llz turn it into your own racist fantasy where motocross is being invaded and destroyed by brown people… and then you have the ignorance to say ‘you can’t make this up…’
And Again… stop bringing your daughter into this. Jesus Christ you absolute weirdo unit.
There’s a coupe of adages
Don’t argue with an idiot or they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
And Bannons, flood the zone with shit and they won’t know what to focus on.
Both apply here… you’ve successfully framed this whole thread around anything at all but the actual substance of the reason I posted in response the actual original topic to be more about your daughter suffering at school… you’ve flooded the zone with shit to obfuscate the real issue and your successful at it and applaud you for that.
Good work you perfect little brainwashed minion.
Damn. Zacka is still Whacka. WTF Aussies?
The poor kid. He’s lost his shit and can’t even develop his own argument.
The most entertaining aspect is his “default to racism” & then the psychotic rants that leave reason behind.
Poor kid. He doesn’t stand a chance. I hope there are services available for his kind in Oz.
In this statement of yours; you've said almost nothing. You seem to believe you have some intellectual style of writing; however, you've offered less information than your nonsensical rambling attempts to provide. "Now I could..."..."so I won't." is about as worthless as a broken throttle cable. You continue to state what you 'could do'; but, lack the intelligence or evidence to validate any of your statements. The ONLY things you have provided your reader are that you have no more writing skills than a junior high school student (and that's being generous); and, you have absolutely zero understanding of economics, capitalism, or how to communicate with others. Further, you continue to point the finger at what you call a 'libtard', without any basic understanding of how each political view actually plays its role in society, and their dependence on the existence of multiple political points of view.
Based on this entire thread, and all your comments; I would gamble; however, you have a full first hand understanding of 'tard'.
That’s all he will ever do. He’s incapable of anything else.
800-1000 kids... are you saying theres too many kids? or too many ovals? Do you want less ovals? You are arguing against schools, roads and forest rangers? Do you realise how much the 1% get in tax breaks, tax avoidance, and government contracts... enough pay for all the shit you are complaining about... enough to pay for those damn forest rangers...
If we were to compare the heyday of motorcoss say somewhere between 1985 and 1995 --- We could look at wealth distribution over time... we could look at tax rate paid over time... we could look at union membership over time... we could look at teachers pay over time... we could look at government lobbying over time... we could look at deregulation over time... we could look at a whole miriad of things... but specifically we could look at CEO pay vs their average employee over time (that directly shows where the money is going in the business)... We could look at US profit from global trade vs Global peacekeeping expense to see if paying soldiers is a net economic positive or not...
In 1985 the total military personnel was 2,151,032 and in 2025 it is 2,075,619 -- but let's not talk numbers lets just says the kids have it too well and the park rangers are taking all our motocross tracks...
hahahahahahaha. Do we need a little english comprehension lesson?
Believe it or not, the 'now i could' was followed the facts --
With ending fact ending with 'but I won't' to squash being called a libtard, because apparently, according to y'all, facts = libtard.
As proven by the visceral reaction to said facts...
But I guess facts, to y'all, are about as worthless as a broken throttle cable.
Those were examples friend, not specifics. My point about the school waste was there is a set of administrations for each set of 800 - 1000 kids in my county. 13 separerate high school adminastrations in one small county. And I see no reason to spend billions "defending" Germany or Japan. My overall point is the government pays for nothing, citizens do. And if you kneel at the altar of "tax the rich", who pays their gardener, car detailer, house painter, etc., if they are left with less disposable income. Simple economics dictates when money is removed from the free market via taxes it's efficiency is detroyed. Every government expense is a burden on all it's citizens. Especially the poor.
