Thank you for the welcome Steve. My name is Mike, I'm 43 years old and live in Fountain Valley with my wife and our two children. Our daughter just had her 2nd birthday and our son is almost nine months old. They keep us busy, but we still try to find time to get out once in a while. Yea, I became a daddy a little later than most, but what the heck, it's a lot of fun and I wouldn't change a thing.
We like to spend our spare time riding dirt bikes. We do most of our riding in Stoddard Valley and usually end up at the Slash X Cafe for lunch. Although my wife hasn't been out riding since the kids came along I still find time to get out once in a while with friends. We are looking forward to the day when the kids are a little older and can join us in the desert.
Well that's about it for me, thanks again for the welcome.

Hey Erik. When you get that 7.5 rebuilt that truck will be prime for trailing. You glad to be getting away from Magic Mountain?
Haha i can barely afford to drive that thing. yeah i just started working there 2 months ago. i work in the maintenance department working on the a/c and swampcoolers. Its an easy job but its way to boring for me.
