About Me
I grew up riding with my dad, TJ, in Southern Oregon and many of my favorite memories are the riding adventures we went on when I was a kid. We added many more priceless memories during my visits home as an adult when my dad would loan me his (new) CR500 while he rode his (1 year old) KX500. We would always celebrate a fantastic day of riding with a post-ride cold beer and a story. He passed away just over 15 years ago with a brand new CR500 in his garage (which I ride each November on a Memorial Ride in his honor). I still ride today (though sparingly, due to injuries) because of him. TJ's Racing is my only true sponsor.

TJRace Added a reply to Best all around aluminum loading ramps?

I'll add my endorsement for the Ready Ramp. I only use the bed-extender feature when hauling multiple bikes. I push my bike up the ramp in the morning, and ride it up at the end of the day with no issues. Been doing it for years.

Hey TJ! Yeah, I was trying to work the SX into our weekend plans but prior commitments with non-moto people didn't let it happen. Sounds like it was a great time, especially for the Aussies - so cool! With better planning, I'm hoping to do both SX and Waste Management next year (if WM survives - what a shit show!)...

I just found out I'll be in town for some desert sunshine(?) and the Waste Management Open golf thing. I'll be with non-moto people but I'm exploring options of catching some moto activity. It's been about 20 years but the AZ MotoDrive faithful hooked me up for a ride day when my wife and I were in town. As I...

1/6/2023 2:34pm
Thanks for the hints! Live! by Loews looks awesome but holy sticker shock! In addition to my son's crew, I'm trying to recruit a few friends from up here so we'll probably need 3 rooms. $600 plus per night will add up fast! Giddyup!

TJRace Started a new thread Arlington SX Recommendations

1/3/2023 8:10pm
My son recently moved to Austin and is promoting meeting up for the Arlington SX round. Any advice regarding tickets, accommodations, food, drink, etc.? I'd likely fly into DFW and grab a hotel room or two, and the kid (and buds) would drive up from Austin. We've hit Seattle SX multiple times, and I've also hit A1, Vegas, San Diego...

TJRace Added a reply to Anyone catch this? Dual Sporting to Nationals to RACE

6/3/2022 7:35am
Awesome! My son and I (and a couple friends) are riding the curviest (mostly-paved) route possible to Hangtown. We are in Fort Bragg right now heading east shortly. We'll look for Rory in the pits. Does anyone know if there is motorcycle parking at Hangtown, and gear check?

Ducati Multistrada for me. Great for a big, old, broken, dirt-biker (shattered my hips at Washougal 9 years ago). I do some commuting on it and a bunch of quick 100-mile local snorts, plus a couple week-long boys' trips plotting the curviest route to some destination of interest. The Multi is a pretty willing carver, but still comfortable for long...

I'll be there! We'll walk the hole track but the adults will probably end up spending some time in the beer garden right by the landing of the Scott USA ski jump (50 yards from where I broke my hips! :-( )

7/23/2015 7:04am
PC, do you know if they still park the bikes right up by the Pro pits? And do they have gear check? I went to Hangtown this year on the Ducati and they had motorcycle parking and gear check right by the entrance (all free).

TJRace Started a new thread Maui MX (and street) scene?

5/26/2015 9:47pm
I'm headed to Hawaii with the family in a couple weeks and I'm wondering if there's anything MX-related worth checking out on Maui. Also, I'd like to rent a street bike (perhaps dual sport) to tour the island and wondering if anyone has any info/experience in that regard. Thanks!

TJRace Added a reply to Maui MX (and street) scene?

5/26/2015 3:04pm
Thanks for the replies! I was already planning on taking a loop around the whole island. My google-maps route says it is 179 miles and 6 hrs 40 mins (though I'm guessing I can beat that, depending on what I rent). gjbruny, where did your buddy rent the bikes and when are they going to be there? Not sure I'll...

I'm in the dome, already strolled the pits. Track looks good but tough. Supercross used to look fun, now it just looks crazy.

TJRace Started a new thread Atlanta SX Hints

2/27/2015 1:54pm
I just found out that I'm taking the red-eye to Atlanta tonight so I can try to keep the bosses happy. I didn't even complain (too loudly) as I'm hoping to sneak in some SX-related entertainment. Work permitting, I'll try to grab a ticket for myself and possibly for a co-worker or two. Any recommendations regarding tickets (at a glance...

Thanks for the tips. As of now, looks like I'll be able to get away with the main show but maybe not the whole day. I'll be staying just north of the airport. Any bars in that area I should be checking out tonight? Any places to avoid?

TJRace Added a reply to OTMX Washougal July 12-13

7/2/2014 6:23am
I LOVE the OTMX races, Washougal in particular, but I can't afford the alimony if I race again. The last few years I've dropped by to watch some friends and cry in my beer over not being able to race. I'll do that again this year, schedule permitting. I still really miss it but I may be making a transition...
