Again, if you allow a resume from Cooksey (or Cox also!) to reach the HR Dept, we will all be casting stern looks of complete disappointment in your general direction for a very long time………!

I'm sure I'll have at least a little say in the pick, but I can't make any promises.

I was a big fan of Bruhn's before he went all weird. He did a lot for moto in the early days of the web, and was a big digital photo advocate before digital was cool (or proven).

It's just that the type of person who can do what you do is a small talent pool. You will be sorely missed, and the reality of you leaving has me sentimental for the old MotoDrive days, and maybe ML too. Hate to see your era end. Thanks.

Hope you hang around here. Does Maverick want it? And nothing too weird about seat bounce science.

Hey, GuyB, have y'all considered regional content editors?

You take SW, get a NW/MW/NE/SE content editors?

Break it up, but you kind of work the SW, at your leisure, and guide the new editors to your standards and more

Someone to solely follow amateur racers and events nationwide, show us the future now

Throw my hat in the ring.
Do you have to live in So Cal?

If so you should consider moving offices to AZ like so many other businesses have done at half the cost. Smile

I vote for -MAVERICK- he seems like a good dude, knowledgeable, in the loop, and has a good presence on the forum.
I’d probably get banned but what the hell.

Maybe, but Steve did just as well after he stopped actively riding/racing so it probably isn’t a huge issue. I’d think that just having great organizational skills and time management would be the biggest thing, I don’t know how Steve ever found much time to ride in the first place.

How can you find out who gives ya the ol thumbs down. Buncha cowards nonetheless.

I remember, about 15 years ago I brought up the idea of Thumbs up and Thumbs down for peoples post and everyone was against it becasue they didnt want a " ranking system"....

One of the best riders ever
One of the smartest forum-ers ever. OG og OGs, per say.
