About Me
Hey, what's up everyone. I'm a sales rep. for Southern Motorcycle Supply in San Diego and I've been riding since I was a little shit. I used to race a lot but now just kind of ride and pretend I'm racing the guy next to me. This year I really want to get back into racing so hopefully I'll get motivated by all you cat's talking about MOTO. I only can sell to dealers so I'm not hunting for customers on here but if you do own a shop or dealership you probably already are set up with us anyway. I raced intermediate for a while but never was very fast. Even now those 30+ int. guy's are still pretty fast. We all have to work together to keep all the places we ride open so I hope this place stays cool. Later.

jimid553 Started a new thread 2009 CRF450 SPARK PLUG?

1/27/2012 6:17pm
The stock one is kind of expensive. Has anybody figured out an aftermarket replacement? An NGK cross reference perhaps? OK, I will now STFU.

jimid553 Started a new thread BMX for old guy's

1/26/2012 4:12pm
I'm 35. Not too old but not a kid anymore. I like to take a little ride through downtown San Diego about once a week on my little BMX / STREET bike and jump things and bunnyhop curbs and such. I like to try to power up the biggest hills. It's a great workout. Last night, an older guy(at least...

jimid553 Started a new thread Can SUPERCROSS go back to 1987 please?

1/26/2012 7:55am
While sitting watching a DVD of Anaheim 1987, I began to realize that we really need to change things. I think we need to loosen up on how guy's get their "Pro" licenses so we can have enough guy's to fill up 4 heat race gates. The start is when you could always see the 3 digit guy's trying to...

jimid553 Started a new thread et another question about the health care bill

1/26/2012 2:34am
My co-worker and I were discussing this issue about not being able to choose and/or keep your current provider and I disagree. I believe you will indeed get to keep going to the same doctor and he thinks otherwise. I thought this whole thing was to cover the uninsured not make everybody use what provider the government wants us to...

jimid553 Started a new thread What's on your MX want list?

1/25/2012 10:29pm
What are some of the things you guys are using to make your old bikes run better and last? I hear people are keeping their old bikes and hopping them up or doing major motor work instead of buying new? I've so far owned two 4 strokes and really kind of left them stock. Anybody got a suggestion about a...

1/25/2012 10:18pm
I'm wondering what people are using to seal the header/muffler joint on aftermarket slip fit exhausts? Seems like using Hi Temp silicone you still get galling and blow by.....any suggestions?

1/24/2012 11:35pm
Dude, why do they play Dunkin Donut commercials here in San Diego when there isn't one within 100 miles of us? I searched and there is nothing in LA county according to the website? I know most of you guy's are up in that area, so have you seen any up there? Those coffe drinks look so good. I know...

jimid553 Started a new thread How much does having kids change MX?

1/23/2012 7:11pm
I know it changes almost everything as far as you and your spouse go but, how about going riding? I have friends that take their kids out riding and it seems like a blast. My wife and I are having a boy in May so I'm pretty excited to say the least. I'm just wondering what kinds of things I...

jimid553 Started a new thread Do you run a number?

1/23/2012 8:42am
I used to race but haven't in about 6 or so years. My question is how many of us still run their "number" but don't race anymore? My bike looks plain sitting there without numbers but, I feel like a jerk when I'm out riding with buddies with an AMA Supercross looking bike. I used to feel like my number...

1/23/2012 3:14am
I know this might have been discussed on the board but I'm wondering what you guy's think about pregnant women getting this H1N1 shot? I just watched a 60 minutes special from the late 70's about this same scare and people were dying from getting the Swine Flu shot......it's kind of making me not want my pregnant wife to get...

I've tried to search but, all I get is "coming soon"....does anybody know if it's available? I asked people at Best Buy and some say no and some say yes? It's one of my favorite movies and I really only want to spend money on movies I really like for example...... http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi3790799641/

5/4/2011 1:38pm
Get pics of all the "Vegas" themed graphics and maybe some of the privateer guys bikes that are doing pretty good...maybe the last/slowest qualifier just so he can get his name out there? Of course all the hot chicks you can get pictures of...oh and maybe some of the cooler "retro" bikes they have there too.

4/19/2011 9:59am
I've started to were one again and it not only helps my lower back from getting tired but it kind of reminds me to use better body position and not slouch as much...keeps me up off the seat more and standing holding the bike with my knees. Seems like it's a little safer to have a little support and protection...
