Today is the official "Earth Day" celebration but as I posted last Sunday we shall call it "Dirt Day=94. I happen to love mother earth and do not wish to spoil the environment with waffle soled boots and packhorses devastating the backcountry. I know my worn out knobby does little damage and therefore should be the symbol of environmental harmony. My two-stroke...

Apparently food shortages have started and costco is now rationing rice in several of their stores. http://cbs5.com/wrapper_consumer/seenon/rice.shortage.rationing.2.705309.html I just hope they don't run out of two stroke oil. OF

I am looking for a header for an 85 KDX 250 I know I can find a new one for five hundred bucks but was hoping to get something used for less. I am in Charlotte N.C. TIA -- Sent Via Little Giant global peer to peer beta stand off- terra access.

Not 'our' Fred- I don't think so, anyway! http://www.fredoneverything.net/FOE_Frame_Column.htm Some interesting reads. Not spot on all the time, but often enough. Dave

Now that I have a running bike again I need to get back into shape. I havn't ridden for about two years seriously, that means about one hundred miles a week, so the muscles are a bit raged after my last jont which was a rather easy ride. I ride a mountain bike daily which must be good for me and also because fuel prices are somewhere in outer space. I was...

I was going to take my first season local ride this weekend, but instead got embroiled in yard and construction projects. I spent saturday re-grading my back yard with my Kubota EAV (Ecological Assault Vehicle), then dropped a few trees (chainsaw runs good on old GasGas gas) then had an enormous brush fire in my backyard fire pit. Yesterday was going...

This may be a repost, can't remember for sure but it did crack me up. YouTube - Hitler's got the wrong bike. CAUTION: Rough language.

I finally made time to go ride yesterday. My friend Pete joined me riding my spare bike. We loaded up around 10:30 and headed to Hollister Hills. The sun was out in force, but the air was cold and making for some excellent weather for riding. We stopped for an early lunch at Foster's Freeze in Hollister and followed that up with a gas stop for 5 gallons...

http://s288.photobucket.com/albums/ll196/b8es/earth%20day/ We decided to go riding today so we called today "Dirt Day". The weather was clear with a lot of wind blowing but that didn't bother us much. Since we sere headed to above 10,000 feet I droped the main jet one size. After the top end rebuild I needed to break it in. Desert dirt roads were deep...

Well, it's not remotely in the league of an epic Joe D vid, but I shot this video this afternoon to break in my new Oregon Scientific ATC2K. Lots of video degradation between the raw footage and the post on YT, but the first attempt is up and running. Made a few loops around our 1.5 mile mini HS course at the house + a quick excursion through the surrounding...

I recently saw a mention in a dirtbike rag for an adapter to fit the 2008 HPSD to older bikes. Damn if I can find where I saw the mention and thus I can't remember the name of the company making it. I have googled my fingers raw with no luck! Anybody else wee this or remember the name of the company? If the price is not silly I was thinking of getting the...

I stopped by a dealer yesterday and he had an 2005 WR250 for sale. He had the carb off of it because he said it sat too long. Maybe, because the bike had very little wear. The side cases only had a scratch or 2, and the frame near the riding boot was worn a little. Nothing major. Now I ask, Are they good for tight trails or geared too high (like the old...

Well, it only took a week; Eric just busted my beautiful shiny new sidepanel. He did kinda the same thing when I brought my pristine FZR400/600 home many years ago. He knocked it over with the GSXR and scratched it all to hell. I guess I shoulda left him right then and there, eh? Damn... Tami-
