San Diego BS Thread.

I picked up a Kymco Grand Vista 250 as a covid project, I've taken it all over San Diego, perfect for quick food/beer/grocery runs, tons of storage and it will cruise at 80 on the highway 74MPG too!

 

I like this little sucker for local commutes, haha. 50ccs and 5 gears and street legal!

 

YSR is so much fun! havent ridden one in almost 30 years

 

That is super cool!!

 

@Speed Freek any recommendations for suspension companies to rework the valving on my yamaha to set it up for desert.

 

Yeah, I use TBT racing, I've been using them for about 7 years and have had 6 bikes setup the suspension and its always a HUGE improvement. Well worth the coin to get it done properly..

 

Muffler shop recommendations that use a mandrel bender?

 

Call Ed Hanson's Muffler Service, not sure if they use a mandrel bender but they do excellent work

 

Trying one of these for the first time tonight….
A DAMN fine brew!

 

That was my first thought as I’ve used them before with great results.

 

BRRRRRR! Sheesh it sure gets fawking COLD in the mornings! Well for me anyway....yeah I know its not exactly Montana but still cold for a weatherwuss like myself, haha!
Been trying to work on my truck in the evenings trying to get the turbo setup done (getting close!!) But it gets so darn cold in the evenings and without a real roof on my shop area my hands start to get dang cold and trying to weld is quite difficult when my material is hovering at about 48 degrees, lol.

Anybody know of a place that has large sheets of galvanized corrugated metal sheeting? I need to frame out my shop area and get roof going. I'm an idiot and waited till winter to start before I actually do it, good thing I don't procrastinate!! Haha..
Looking to get some good material for the actual roof itself as well as some steel for the frame to attach it to. What makes it a bit more difficult is that I have about 21" from one side to another that I need to frame in so I will probably need 25-28' lengths of steel for the expanse between the containers. I was thinking about using laminated beams but they are so darn tall and overkill for the roof weight I'd rather use square tube steel or I-beams if I can find any.
I wish I could find some place thats doing demo where I could get some materials at a lower cost as we all know material is insanely expensive these days, as a matter of fact EVERYTHING costs more now than it did a year ago and likely gonna get much worse if Im reading the sit-rep correctly!!

 

@eccracer104
Happy bday bro!

 

Thank you Bryan!

 

Anyone reccomend a private party/shop in North County to vinyl wrap the roof of my truck and shell? Gracias

 

California Wraps does good work, located in Vista

 

Fiesta island is prime right now

 

oooh might have to take the dog and the truck down this afternoon, let everyone stretch their legs and get dirty

 

"nor cal edition"


hmmm...

 

Lol ya I won’t be down here forever.

 

This storm is brutal! Pretty sure Im gonna have another giant palm tree fall over, I lost one last week and it was about 40' tall and took out part of my fence....but at least the culverts are keeping up with the fawking river I have flowing though the yard, make that 2 rivers, I split it into 2 so I had enough flow. Already had to unblock them because all the debris that has stacked up over the summer almost blocked both of them.
Its a bit of a bummer being at the end of the valley where ALL the water flows through my property. I guess I had better install that other culvert tube I got sooner than later so I can make sure I dont float away, haha..
