I am truly a fan of older supercross racing, and I spend probably way too much time looking for old races to watch. I’m not even sure how I found this one? You are about to watch the 1997 Las Vegas 125cc Supercross, East vs West shootout. [Read more →]
With James Stewart out for the season (injured left knee), and a 19 point lead over 2nd place Kevin Windham, is the 2008 Supercross Championship Chad Reed’s to lose? [Read more →]
As some of you may know, I’ve recently purchased a 2001 Ford Excursion Limited 4×4 with a Ford (International) Powerstroke Diesel. This is my first vehicle I’ve ever owned with a diesel, and let me tell you, I’ve got a lot to learn. They are very different than your standard gas engine, starting with the way they start, the way they drive, the fuel they use, and the sheer amount of oil the engine takes when you change it. It’s been a very fun learning experience to say the least. [Read more →]
I have been bugging my better half for quite some time now to allow me to get a custom license plate. Well we recently purchased a 2001 Limited Ford Excursion 4×4 PSD (Power Stroke Diesel), and with this purchase, she finally let me do it. [Read more →]
I’ve been bike-less for the last year or so, and it’s been killing me.
This year, I’m at the point where I can get myself a new one, and I’m a little stuck between the RM-Z450 (EFI - Electronic Fuel Injection) and the CRF450R. At this point, I am leaning toward the CRF though, as early production RM-Z’s were returned to the factory due to some problems. I’m not sure what problems, but one can only assume it relates to the EFI. It’s also the first year for a production Motocross bike to have it (we won’t count Cannondale). [Read more →]
Some of the guys over at Allthingsmoto.com have started a thread titled “Retro Night Coming Up. How ’bout Some Vids.” If you love racing, and I do, you need to check this out. Talk about some awesome racing video of some “retro” races held in Anaheim stadium in the ’80’s. [Read more →]
Good News for Motocross Fans (that’s me 
- hopefully you too!)
Kit Palmer of Cycle News reported on 01/17/2008 that Giuseppe Luongo (President of Youthstream) has plans to start bringing two (2) FIM World Motocross (MX) events to the U.S. starting in 2009, then again in 2011, with 2 rounds per year continuing through 2016. They also have plans starting in 2010 to bring the Motocross of Nations (MXoN, aka MXdN) back to the U.S. every third (3rd) year. [Read more →]
Just to avoid confusion, this is not the service manual for the CRF250R. It is indeed the manual for the 2-stroke CR250R, model years 2002-2003. However, my understanding is that Honda did not change anything on the CR250R after model year 2003 other than [Read more →]
Typically I get these manuals because I need to help someone with something on their bike. In this case, my brother had a 2003 YZ250F that he needed some help with so he sent me his manual.
The Yamaha manuals are a little different in that they include the Service Manual and a Parts Manual. [Read more →]
I’m sure you’ve all seen the ads for Moonlight — the show about vampires (vamps, as Mick St. John calls them), and I’ll be honest, I didn’t think it would be a very good show. In fact, I had no plans of watching it. However, my family started watching it and started to get into it.
One Friday evening, I didn’t have anything better to do, so I watched it. I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed the show. [Read more →]
