I started playing with engines and cars...
...when I was real young, I was driving on a horse ranch at about the age of 10.
go-carts, minibikes, motorcycles, tractors, anything really, and then my dad taught me how rebuild and fix engines - which is a good thing because I freakin' break most everything I ride because I'm full tilt....
This is a Corvette powered sandrail or sandcar as we
call them out here in California. It has 470 horsepower, seats
five, twenty inch travel from the ground to bottom of chassis for
clearance. And it only weighs 2,200 pounds....This thing jumps,
wheelies and accelerates like a Lamborghini on the sand.
This is me on my 700 Yamaha Raptor, it's fast, modified, and my fourth 'quadrunner' as they are referred to.
me, not moving....at Glamis, thee sand place to be.
This is most of the toys and our transport trailer that I had built (two stories) and our 40 foot diesel pusher motorcoach - yes it's much like a tour bus.
Unloading the 'stacker' trailer. The quads up top and the buggy goes underneath. The trailer has fifty gallons of fuel and 50 gallons of extra water to supplement the 100 in the coach.
On my older quad just before I broke my thumb a few years back.
My wife Valerie on her new Yamaha Banshee. She rides but not enough!
This is us at Mammoth CA on a snowboarding vacation with our Durango in tow.. I love this shot, I love winter - which is why I named one of my solo cd's 'Winter'
jumping of course, not big but hey I'm up there! (or was)
Tod, Valerie, and niece Lorissa at Big Bear lake CA.
With the 21 foot SeaRay in tow we head off to Lake Havasu.
