We rode in Borrego Springs last week and I couldn't believe how the turds keep closing in the area. Pretty soon it will be all gone. New closed trail signs were posted on trails that were just open months ago[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Anyone ever ride at Pismo "back in the day"?? I was fully open and a fun place to ride. Now it's the size of a postage stamp with even more people riding there[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] You really struck a cord here for me[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

Anyone who likes to ride better wait up brother or the only thing place they will have to ride in will be their front yard
(if they haven't stopped that too)
Didn't mean to strike a cord with you Creator[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I understand what your saying. If you really want to check out a messed up state[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Check out this thread What is really going on in Michigan? I have to say, they are pretty screwed up!!

I hear they are trying to stop you from riding on your own property down south[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Is it San Bernadino or Riverside County????

True. I don't have much experience with them. Only knew one guy growing up whose dad had one. I tink the only problem was a leaky rear main seal. Which, if this had that, and she bled out... Bye bye motor.

The only thing I've heard that's been a problem with the 460 is the exhaust manifold bolts shearing off from the motor twisting from the torque. We had this happen. Coworker who had a '97 said that where he worked before they had a lot of 460s do that. And on his, his tranny went at 18K. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

I have been riding in ca since 1973 and for the last 5 years or so it seems like all my money is used to buy and put up fences. More and more fences!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

nice looking. seems odd the motor & tranny have been rebuilt at that mileage, as both are usually bullet-proof for Ford, especially the 460. with all that recent work, seems like a great deal.
The guy said at about 188K(30K ago) he got on the gas and the oil pressure dropped on the gauge. He said he pulled over and it was ticking lightly. The gauge went back up but it freaked him out and he had the engine replaced. The tranny I didnt get a story on, but it does have a shift kit in it now and bangs the shifts pretty hard.

Both. Riverside I believe already did. And SB is trying to. Or vice versa, I could be wrong. I think I was wrong once before. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Speaking of the Great White North[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] How's watching any hockey??? LOL! Carolina and Edmonton[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Come on, where's the real hockey teams at?? LOL! J/K
just that you know Edmonton vs Carolina is the finals is very impressive. It's a bit more entertaining than years gone past, as they're calling most penalties now. i haven't had much time to watch. I was gonna sit down the other night, and my son wanted to play road hockey. he said, "C'mon, playing is way better than watching"... And I thot, I used to think the EXACT same thing when i was his age, so we just played road hockey instead.
