Think outside the box and make crashing "your thing". If gravel is going to easily take you down, consider a motard or dual sport bike. They can be dropped multiple times with little or no damage. When you meet other bikers (and even non-bikers) you can impress them with your rashed up gear...

I tried the Spartan Srint in 2011 and had a great time. Definitely something different.

The vintage MX season starts May 6 at Grand Bend. This year CMX is hosting a 5 race series with points being earned at each event to determine a series champion. Check out the CMX website or Sasquatch Cycle for info. As well the annual vintage festival at Ormstown is a go for August with...

Ethanol requires less air to burn than gasoline, so if you are one of those guys that has his bike jetted on the hairy edge, ethanol could make it run lean. Using E85 fuel a carbureted engine will run 6% leaner. For a bike with stock jetting I doubt it will make much difference though.

Nice pictures. It's been a while since I have seen a two stroke with Rocket decals. I know Kelso very well and am curious to know how the last shot was taken. Brian

Cool bike, but not for my old knees. I love riding my bike in the heat, especially on the road. Flushes out the sweat glands.

If anyone on this board has a vintage motocrosser (pre-1974 or 1975-1980) you may want to try vintage motocross. The VMX scene is big in the USA and is now picking up momentum here in southern Ontario. Here are a few links to whet your appetite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5i3K76VUpE...

Getting a bit tired of the rants so how about a more upbeat thread. A few things that brighten my day: Having an idiot tailgate you when you are cruising along at a reasonable speed. Idiot passes you at double the limit and then gets promptly pulled over in a radar trap. MX track, perfect...

I remember back when we bought our first dog. We went to see several breeders and every single one was a nut job. I don't know if my experience was typical or not but there are some wierd breeders out there. One wouldn't sell us a dog unless we passed an interview and then they would pick which...

You're right, this province needs more bureaucracy. Plus, it will make those little ankle biting little brats earn the right to ride their bikes.

Agreed. I don't do the wide peleton thing unless the oncoming lane is clear. I will say there are a lot of self entitled people out there these days though, both cyclists and other. What annoys me is drivers who will put on their hazards and then stop anywhere they please as if their hazard...

Wow, I'm one of those cyclists you are ranting about! I even wear lycra and shave my legs. I guess you could say I'm the "anti-braveheart". :p

I think in my case the dogs trying to get even for having him de-nutted.

I don't hit girls. What's the matter with you?!!!
