Having a blast as well as being sore as hell......

Broke out the bike for the first time in a year. This is the best pic I have, sorry. Nothing like a little over jumping, trust me it doesn't hurt at all......

Nice pic! I need to get someone out on the trail to snap some shots of us. Prob is we are so far off the beaten path and you have to do some serious hiking to get to the pic worthy spots..... trust the biggest part that sucks is the hike a bike for those without a motor.

Why do I have that feeling you are not being completely truthful............. :P :mrgreen:

I have to pull the carb and clean the thing out. I was having some small issues at the track. Damn things don't like to sit for over six months.

Once the carb is cleaned up, the bike should run great.

been whoring it up on craigslist buying rc cars. I picked up a rc10gt blue, losi rally weapon and some old intro 1.8th buggy I havent identified yet, but it has a real spoiler than articulates as the suspension compresses..... I dont even have room for all this crap. Spring means nothing more than more rain in oregon so there isnt a lot of out door activities I really enjoy. I did get my turbo conversion done on my 87 montero the other day and took it up for a spin in the hills, that was freaken awesome, and all the wet curddy weather makes for lots of mud to take my cc01 pajero through.
2x rc10 A stamped, rc10t, rc18t, 3x rc10gt tamiya stuff - fox, lunchbox re-release, Custom chevy clod crawler, cc-01 pajero, 2x cc-01, kt full option, and 3 HL tanks. Looking for a rc250 and rc500

We just sold our Honda Rancher 420. My son is handicapped and we were able to do some putting around on the 4 wheeler, but he is growing so fast! It was getting harder to take him out on it so we upgraded to a new Can-Am Commander. It is their latest side by side UTV. Now we can strap him into his own seat and not worry about all the questionable looks we got when we rode him on the 4 wheeler. We are still adhering to the break-in procedure so we limit throttle inputs to the thing, but I can tell it is going to be a blast!

When I am driving the Can-Am, the wifey is riding her Honda '09 CRF230F, and when she is driving it, I get to ride my '02 KDX200. Hopefully we will be able to get lots of riding in this year.

Ok, after I clean the house today I will-

And if you don't straighten your legs a bit, your going to slip off the pegs after your butt slaps the seat :lol:

Ha, trust me I already know what happened. What sucks is I knew I was going to land hard. I guess that my "prepare for impact" stance LOL

Scars on my shins from pedal pegs, two wrists that get re-agravated all the time, and I bounced off a tree with my left shoulder about a month ago, still hurts when I am in the gym (can't do full weight yet). Heither has a four inch scar on her left shoulder from AC shoulder sep last Aug. I know Jim had a heck of a spill I think from Sea Otter.

It's all good. Damn good fun though!

In between little projects around the house, tinkering with the RC stuff and running them in the street when its dry. Think I'll take my 4 year old for a walk around my grandpa's farm so he can "explore" and maybe spot deer and turkey. Kid is a freak for nature.

Currently I've been gettin the chase vehicle ready for the storm season, but after a cracked fuel line it got a free ticket to sit at the parents house while i was in college this week (oriellys isnt open at 9pm on a sunday). Now iowa is gettin lit up with tornado warnings, we had a cell pass right over us that may get interesting, and i have to sit on my butt and twiddle my thumbs...

its a blast, although the software costs a pretty penny, spending 80 bucks on the renewal/lifetime purchase for my current radar software, the next step up costs around 280 bucks. BUT it can show you the storm in 3d as represented by the returns. only downside to chasing is gas consumption haha
