    Bike restoration tips

    If your plans are to ride the bike and get it dirty, consider just getting everything back to original factory colors, new plastics, graphics, then a handful of hours with degreaser, Simple Green, garden hose and the power washer. A regularly ridden bike that looks correct, really clean, and...

    Im building a public mx track in ohio

    Ok, her and I went back and forth about it, but for some reason I recall it was a first turn crash after start. Other than that particular kiddies class wreck, I do remember a couple rider's attempting to "double" the first little jump there, coming up short casing it hard and biting it. It's a...

    Was the kid hit by other rider's? Talking to my wife about this, and she was thinking that this was directly beyond the finish line jump? If so, did the flagger see him go down?

    Not sure if it was the same kid or not, but I do remember getting held up staging for the gate and race delay while the medic-squad was hauling a kid off on Sunday. Hate hearing that.

    83 CR250 - I am not doing it but......

    Good tip, Thanks. Biggest challenge it seems is getting the right colors. Another tip from an old co-worker for clear coating parts, particularly front Fork legs was Nyalic coatings. Haven't tried it yet but looks promising.

    83 CR250 - I am not doing it but......

    A few minutes here, a few minutes there. Struggled with the paint. The first paint I used was too glossy. Then after some digging on some VMX rebuild posts, found guys using VHT Brake Caliper paint for a nice high temp satin black finish. I went that route, and it turned out great. But then I...

    Dirt bikes

    Dirt Bike life. Fell in love with the exhilaration of riding two wheels as a child, and still love the thrill today. At our son's wedding back in September, I was asked by the brides father "you don't smoke, do you ever drink (alcohol)?" I had to think for a moment, and then replied, "I'll...
