    Favorite MX Boots?

    Hey All! I'm wondering what your favorite MX boots are? You guys like the newer "tennis shoe" soled style? Or classic style? I like the Alpinestars Tech 8's myself. I have a feeling the older riders will opt for classic, and the young cats will opt for either video games or the tennis shoe...

    Anybody ever done any plastic welding?

    I have a discontinued ABS plastic street bike fairing with a couple of cracks in it. I was thinking about having it plastic welded? Anyone do it, or know anything about it? Any good kits I could practice with? --L*64

    Dave Miller RIP!!

    Got the sad news that DMC Dave passed away. I've always been a fan, and I've talked to him on the phone a handful of times about metal fab/minibike projects. I lusted after the 105cc mid '80's KX's he built, and the CR85/XR100 conversions. --L*64

    Any issues/problems with ProWheel rims?

    Anyone ever ran these and had fitment issues? I’m having a huge hassle getting them to work, and they seem baffled when I call them about it? Like they’ve never heard of any problem with their product before? —L^64

    Drilling out spoke nipple holes?

    Hey All! I’m working on lacing a set of black Pro Wheel rims for a TTR125L, to the stock hubs on my CRF150F mini bike. (This isn’t a racial, or breast related thread...) When I ordered the rims from PW, I specifically asked if the TTR rims will need to be drilled to accommodate the OEM Honda...

    Anybody go to Smith Rd. today?

    I went out- mostly to check 'er out, and goof off on the C track. I took a lap on the main track to see how the layout went. I thought it was pretty good! May need a little fine tuning- but all in all I thought it was fun! C track was alotta fun too. Quite a few people riding on it all day. I...

    Cornering technique videos?

    Hey all!! I rarely ride MX bikes at this point, but I love play riding on some well set up trail bikes! Even play riding, I see guys railing through turns with finesse that I could only dream of!! I’ve watched some Semics vids, and realized that I’m not doing as bad as I originally thought...

    Ridin' spot by I-480/Lee Rd.?

    This is mostly for the Cleveland peeps. I'm often on I-480 heading west from I-271. Looks like there's a ride able spot off of 480 (west bound) right before the Lee Rd. exit? Who knows anything about this place? Any possible riding there? --L*64

    What are the best stands for around $100?

    So I wanna get a nice stand (I'm using a 5 gallon bucket with an old towel over it now. It works OK, and the price was right!), but I definitely don't wanna throw down alotta chips. I've been watching CL, but I haven't seen anything decent come up. What's out there new? It's not like they're in...

    Anyone here ever lowered an MX bike before?

    What's up gang! If you know me, then you KNOW why I'm asking this question! Hahaha! Yep-- I'm only 5'5 with a 30 inch inseam! I generally love thrashing on play bikes, but I raced at Meadowlarks a few weeks ago, and I really liked the track. I've been tossing around the idea of becoming a member...

    4 stroke play bike head porting?

    Looking to get a clean up port job on a CRF150F head. Wasn't planning to run race gas, a high comp piston or cam. I'm just looking to get a slight improvement along the torque/power curve and better throttle response with a port and pipe. I've seen guys port their heads before and the work...

    Shirt and/or jersey lettering? Close to Medina?

    Who does GOOD lettering on shirts and jerseys? I'd like a selection of fonts to choose from too. I've seen lettering done before that looks like a '70's little league job. trying to avoid that-- definitely picky. I'm near Medina, OH. --L*64

    Jetting for humidity? Any jetting specialists out there?

    What's up gang!! If you know me-- you know I'm obsessed with play riding on trail bikes. So I have my '07 CRF230F set up with an '05 carb, jetted at 48/120, stock '05 needle with the clip in the 4th position down, air screw set at 1 and 1/2 turns out as what's described as "optimal" via...

    Where ya getting OEM Part numbers?

    I was always on the Service Honda site fetching OEM part numbers, and sometimes ordered parts from them. Now that they went limp, where are you guys getting your OEM part numbers from? Lotta places use their own, like Partzilla for example. --L*64

    Let's hear about your on track MX fights! Hahaha!

    So Mr. Luckystar woke up on the wrong side of the bed this afternoon as I always do if it's before noon... Wanted to hear about your on track, "tackle 'em off the bike" fight incidents! Gotta be some funny stories here- no? I'm pretty chill, but I HAVE had my share of on track fights before...

    Best aftermarket radiators?

    I'm helping my bud work with his '98 RM250. The radiators on it could be fixed, but are basically junked IMO. I see those aftermarket pieces on Ebay all the time, but have never had any experience with them. Who knows anything about which ones are good? --L*64

    "Car Enthusiast Condos" in Broadview Hts.-- Hmmmm!!

    What's up Gang!! Happy to have made it through another winter, and have been prodding Pit to get busting ass on some cool dirt bike related projects! I've talked about this many times, but it seems like there's a developer doing the damn thing-- at least on a car lover's level. They're building...

    Anybody ever have a frame re-stamped with matching numbers?

    This is mostly for vintage guys who restore bikes. I'm wondering if anybody has ever had vin numbers welded over, ground down, and re-stamped somehow? I THINK the VIN is stamped on the head tube before it's actually formed when it's a flat piece of metal. If the frame is steel, I'm thinking...

    Spoke nipple oil? Exhaust paint?

    So I'm hot and heavy into a dirt bike project right now, and I have a couple questions. First off-- what type of oil should be used on spoke nipples when building a wheel? Does somebody sell something specifically for this purpose? I have some idea about how to tackle just about every aspect of...

    BEST and WORST bikes you ever owned??

    Hey guys!! This is a just for fun thread! Post up on the BEST bike you ever rode, raced, owned, and fill us in on the WORST POS that you ever threw a leg over. This should be funny. I'll go first. I was in the classic CRA 125 C mix from 1990-2000/2001. So my experience isn't the same as guys...
