With the release of the completely new from the ground up 2009 CRF450R, and am left with nothing to say except WOW. I’m not completely thrilled with the white plastic on the back, though I don’t hate it, but otherwise, that bike looks like it will be awesome! [Read more →]
Wow, It’s been an entire month and I’ve had nothing to say… that’s kinda interesting. I rarely have nothing to say 
Well, I’m BACK!!! And I’ve got a motorcycle now too. [Read more →]
This last week I had to go to Indiana to get some dental work done from a very good friend there. While I was there, I had the opportunity to head north to Howe, IN, where another very good friend lives that also just happens to have a 2008 Honda CRF450R, and a motocross track in his back yard (he has 5 acres).

I just came across this really good video created by the guys at Hot Cams about how to adjust and check the valves on your 4-stroke thumper. There are 2 videos, one is specific to the Honda CRF450R, and it’s single cam or “Uni-cam” the other is specific to the Yamaha YZ250F and its dual cam setup. The Honda’s (CRF250R & CRF450R) are the only ones with single cams. All other bikes are dual cam bikes. [Read more →]
In one of my previous posts, I posted that I really wanted a Black 2008 Limited Edition CRF450R –> My Next Bike: 2008 Honda CRF450R
Well, I finally took the time to see if I could find a Black 2008 CRF450R. First off, only “Premier” Honda dealers got them — Premier means they sell only Honda products. Well, we have 3 Premier Honda dealers in our state, none of which are very close to my house.
I started calling and the first 2 did not have any left. The last and finally shop did, they had 1 Black Limited Edition CRF450R left. [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 →]
As some may or may not now, I am an avid mx’er (motocrosser) and currently own and run an offroad motorcycle and ATV web forum (www.allthingsmoto.com).
I often see requests for manuals, and over the years I’ve managed to buy and receive a few of them. [Read more →]
