Ya, I ride ocean and lake. I have a ski for each (550's). The ocean is way better than any lake, any day. I usually head up to Ventura harbor and go wave surfing early on the weekends. Theres no surfers, no lifeguards and it's always really hazy so the cops can't see me riding the surf. I have a two stand up ski trailer that I use when I go out. If we have more than that we toss them in the bed of a truck. Your Ram should hold two 550's back there tightly. Anytime you want to go riding, let me know.

The Ram holds both of our 650's its just a pain in the ass pulling the ski's out at the end of the day when we go to the river.

Thats fucking stupid. Did you find out who did it or was it a random thing? I would be a little pissed off. People just need to learn not to vandalize other peoples shit.

Re: So Cal General Discussion

Hey guys we got together on Saturday aternoon for a mini meet. I posted it in the wrong section when we were organizing it. I made it it's own topic thinking it would recieve more notice but I was wrong.

Only two of us showed, but we still had a good time.

One of Adiboo's aquaintences from another board showed up and hung out. He had a dope ass truck!

I might not be able to lift mine now......

We left there and went to Dromo1 in Orange for some Indoor Kart racing.

That shit was awesome! I can't wait to make it back out there for a nother go 'round on the track.

All in all, even though only two of us showed, I still had an awesome time.

Next time we organize a meet, I'll post it in here first, and we'll do a better job of organizing it.

Kevin charged me $8000, but that was to bag it, bodydrop it, and build the full frame. The only stock part of the frame left is the cross member which holds the motor. Excellent price considering the quality of work and since Totally polished wants $4500 just for a BD...Jeff

At the time it was sorta of a hookup/ what he charges. Not exactly what he would charge now. It all depends on different things like how fast, brand of bags, brand of valves,etc...But not many can come close to his quality of work and attention to detail...Jeff
