I will hit in and out. Today I hit Taco King and had the best Chile Verde ever! I’ll keep posting. The fun stuff will start this weekend! The recommended plus is: ngk cr8ek. That’s one level hotter than the stock which is a series 7. It also has two angled cathodes so it lasts a bit longer. I have one in there now and it has 12000 miles on it but the electrode is petty eaten up at this point. I can’t say though that I notice any difference in how the bike starts or runs over stock.

Tommy's sells chili burgers and hot dogs, and has been a more localized to L.A. family-run burger chain since In and Out expanded out of the greater L.A. metropolitan area in the late 80s (they had opened a couple shops in Las Vegas back then and have since expanded to as far as Texas, if not further?).

To be honest, Tommy's is one of those places you have to be in the mood for, whereas In and Out can be eaten much more often. Tommy's is definitely a glutonous experience, but I do recommend to try it. We have an In and Out in Yuma, AZ, which I do NOT take for granted since the closest Tommy's nowadays is 3 hours away in San Diego...

(sorry to go off-topic, but In and Out should definitely be on an L.A. area short-list--good advice AdventureDad

)

Happy to help! I grew up in San Fernando Valley before moving to New Mexico. All my family except my big brother stayed in LA, Ventura and Big Bear. Funny, my brother just went there this past weekend, sent me a pic of a Tommy's burger, didn't stop at In N Out....that is exactly the kind of fool I pity.

Sorry for the thread hijack Joe!!!

Bike is almost done but here is a shot with the KIPO exhaust

rjmorel · 12-08-2017, 05:30 PM

Joe , a lot of your pics are coming in upside down in the china rider ride report. Whats up wid dat? Have a great ride with Matt this weekend. Any Plans after that?

rjmorel · 12-08-2017, 05:33 PM

hows the new exhaust sound? Any improvement in performance?

fjmartin · 12-08-2017, 11:29 PM

So whatever forum the China riders is based on doesn’t use the jpg metadata to make a photo upright. I am a leftie so I hold the phone the other way. All other pages put them the correct orientation.

fjmartin · 12-08-2017, 11:30 PM

The exhaust sounds awesome and is quieter at highway speeds. I haven’t noticed any power increase though.

fjmartin · 12-08-2017, 11:33 PM

I’m at the Salton Sea now and we rode around salvation mountain. Strange place. Good riding if you like deep sand!

fjmartin · 12-09-2017, 10:30 PM

Today was a hell of a ride in miles of deep sand and super scary terrain but also some cool sightseeing

fjmartin · 12-13-2017, 01:14 AM

On my way back north I got a chance to catch up with Joe Berk and get my copy of MotoBaja autographed!

If you look up Kipo's web page (in Spanish) and click on the Facebook link, the Owner of UMMO Industrial (Juan is his name) should reply and allow a Facebook Chat where you can discuss purchasing a KIPO system for your RX3

That is how I (errr....ummm...I mean Ohio Dan lol) was able to purchase a system.
