First off, I'd like to congratulate everyone for making this forum into something all of us have been waiting for and can truly appreciate! Just get the App up and running Spiritaces! Ha! Anyway, about my background...I was on the net pretty much all day everyday about 6 years ago and pretty much kept it lo-pro reading, listening and an occasional bout with 2R's here and there. I also dabbled into the AtvRiders forum but eventually left after being banned numerous times. That's what happens when you hang out in the lounge over there. I pretty much took a 5 year break due to what life decided to throw my way. Within those 5 years I was diagnosed with an advanced Melanoma (skin cancer), I lost my house, went thru a ****ty divorce (with two beautiful kids involved) AND lost my job in a well paying fabshop I planned to eventually retire out of! Thru it all, I never stopped riding, although I went from ridin 4-5 nights a week down to 2-3. Riding has always been my escape, my release, my freedom. So here I am and things couldn't be better. Landed a good gig, found a good woman and living a cancer free healthy life. Im 41 years old and still serving up stone spray sandwiches to whom ever wishes to ride along side me. In those 41 years, the last 5 have taught me more than any of them...stick to your roots and never give up! My current ride is an 05 Lonestar Baja chassis with a Baldwin ported stock jug. Many times over the past few years of basically starving trying to make ends meet, Ive considered the possibility of maybe having to sell the quad. Glad I didn't cuz the storm went away and its time to shine!! See ya guys around!
