Baja 1000 for the Wounded

Hey guys don't know how many of you will be at the Expo in Oct. but Ed, John, Allan, and I will be at it!! Baja Pits and KC Lights have asked us to go!!! I hope that some of you will be in town for it, if you are look for us to be with Baja Pits and KC. Not sure yet if we will have our own table yet or not. Should be a good time, we just went over $9000.00 in donations to the Wounded Warriors!! I hope that this will help get the word out and we can make our goal of $50,000 for the WWP.

Thank all of you for your support on this!!

Scott, I have to say that you are a natural storyteller. You guys came out & got a taste of Baja with Allan & John Jr. You haven't met the other portion of real racing & what it entails. You have an advantage though in having been overseas & in combat. You are going to find many similarities. Racing is 1/3 preparation, 1/3 talent (i.e. skill), & 1/3 luck. Sound familiar ? Crucial decisions have to be made quickly with little info; there's a constant fog of information & misinformation going on. After the fact everything is 20/20 but it won't matter. What's crucial is what you do at the moment. Your adrenalin is running at 100%. Sound familiar? Don't forget that your purpose is Noble & don't forget to have fun.

That is just what Ed, has been telling me! He has no worries about us finding a way to get to the finish in time if it is within our power. The big thing is the 1/3 luck, you never know when that will runout the door on you. I am a big believer in when it is your time it is just your time, so live life and have fun with it! I would be lying if I was to say that Scott, and I are not nervous about the race but it is just the vehicle that we are driving to try and help the ones that need it.

Got some parts in the mail this week for Scotts new bike that him and I will be using for the pre run, so I thought I would post a few pics. Wish we would have had that GPR the first trip to Baja!!


Light works now just need to get the new stator in and we are good!

As always Rocco needs to check everything out!

Need to get the tank in from IMS and I think just a few small things and we are ready to go!!

Thanks for putting that stuff on for me broheim. It's lookin' goooood. I'd do it myself but it's good for guys your age to keep their mind active. hahah

Hey I may be back in the States a few days earlier.

That is good that you might be back early, after that comment you can do the stator and the tank!!!!

Got some good news today, Combat Flip Flops one of our sponsors has got us some helmets today! Griff, one of the owners of the company was a Lt. in 2nd Ranger Battalion knows the guy that did all the art work for the Halo game is going to do the art work on the helmets for us. I can't wait to see what they look like!!

Wow, fantastic!!!! Can't wait to see them!

I volunteered to make a light for elvis. Here it is, KC pod optics and it will be two 50w HID. About 10,000 lumens.







It weighs about 7.75 lbs I was hoping for lighter but I think it will work.

Very Cool!
How did you bend the tubing? I'm assuming frame mounted?
I don't think 7#'s is too bad, especially when you are enjoying all the light!

A friend of mine and I built a tubing bender rig out of plywood and an idler pulley. I called a tubing outfit in phoenix and they wanted $400.00 to bend the hoop for me, so we did it ourselves. Chrome moly tube is hard to bend. It took all day to get the hoops right.

It is frame mounted.

Nice work guys. The bike looks really good! I wish I could have gone down to the show and hang out with everyone. See you in Baja.
