Hey There!
Name here is Joe, my nickname comes from a small delta town called Discovery Bay just east of the SF Bay Area where I spend as much time as I can in the summer (I have a waterfront house there).
I have had a Raptor 700 for a few years but haven't gone riding as much as I'd like. Most of my riding has been in CA at Pismo, PiPi, Clear Creek, Stonyford, Jawbone/Dove Springs, and Gorman. When I was a kid all I wanted was a '84 Honda ATC 250R. (I was 13). Mom said no! The first thing I bought when I was 18 was a junker ATC 250R. It was junk, but it was mine! Not too long after that I fell in love with the river and spent the next decade years focused on Boats/Jetskii's. In 2001 I got a Raptor 660 and a couple years later added a KTM450 EXC. I broke my arm at Pismo and doctor's orders were no riding for a year. Sold both the quad and KTM and spent the next few years focused on boating, Jeep'n, and Camping. Several of my friends have moved from quads/dirtbikes to UTV's, so I decided to join in. I have a deposit on a XRS which i'm picking up next weekend.
You'll find me on quite a few forums with the same handle. Pretty much interested in any activity that burns fuel! I try to go to Taco Tuesday on the river in the boat every Tuesday when it's over 90. I do the Rubicon Trail every summer with the guys from Pirate/JKO, I typically go watch KoH , but this year i'm gonna be in the hospital recovering that week from surgery. I will have one full weekend before my surgery to play with the Can Am and then I'll be back in full swing for UTV trips by April!
Look forward to chatting with you all here and catching some of you in camp and on the trail!
Here are a couple toy pics:
