Good point, but that's just how the future is going. Sort of like a esc, you have to program it, but I sure prefer it to a wiper arm type! :wink:

Like anything, I think the efi's will only improve as time goes on and they work all the bugs out. Look how many cars use efi now!

Getting one of Cody's bikes ready for the Nats and thought this would look cool on the rad shrouds! :mrgreen:

Thank you! That looks so much better! I'm not good with anything to do with photo shop or computers for that matter! This is a photo from 2010, wow time goes quick! He was a Junior then now a Intermediate, he needs 37 points to become Pro this year. He is half way there!

Funny, I just noticed the road rash on his elbow! :lol:

He just got 2nd in 250 in the Amateur Race in Kamloops this weekend and qualified for the Pro race on Sunday. He managed a 34th overall in the Pro class! He got a ways to go! Anyway Pro Nats in Calgary this weekend and Edmonton the next and the Amateur Nats the week after, so I will be a busy boy!

I wished I could have finished painting his helmet for the big events. I got busy with the trophy girl build, my bad.

Here is what I'm going to do for him......eventually :oops:

That looks fantastic Anthony! Can't wait! :shock:

Cody qualified for the PRO race again in 29th place with a 34th and a DNF in the mains after a pile up in the first turn. On the Amateur Day he finished with a second place and two third places over all! With all the flooding this week, we will not be going to Edmonton, but that is not such a bad thing anyway! :lol: You know what they say about Edmonton! :roll:

Second prize was a week in Edmonton

First prize was one night in Edmonton! :lol: :mrgreen:

Congrats to your son! Has to make you feel very proud.
Hope all is well in Calgary, stay safe.... sounds like the flooding might be stabilizing?

A few years have gone bye and with my son becoming pro at the end of last season I had to get him pro numbers. Yellow is intermediate black is 250 pro. We have white for the 450 pro, and I got proper decals for the rad shrouds.

This is a short clip of him at the local track! Not as fast as he was at the end of last season. The old saying is "If you don't use it, you loose it!" Having long winters with no riding hurts your performance!

Dude, you got to get that helmet polished up for him, it matches the bikes perfectly. Can't wait to see him in action again this summer.
