Could add Safety Wire Steve as part of the VRRA crowd. Leaving wire clippings around the pits after their 2nd bike rebuild over the weekend. ;)

Just received my order from Okanagan Spirits - a 1Malt and BRBN. Looking forward to trying it out this weekend!

If that's an illness, you're in good company. I think we all like making our toys "our own". Do we need exhausts, clear clutch covers, carbon bits, etc....? No, but by George, what else are we going to spend our children's college funds on?!? And besides, nothing beats an afternoon on the...

Rode motocross and my motorcycle each weekend and golfed twice in the last couple weeks, no issues....did the dishes on Saturday and tweaked my back pretty bad....lesson learned. Getting old does suck.

Another vote here for VNM Gear. Mine is now many years old and still going strong (Aliki actually came to my house for my wife and I to try on sizes and purchase back then...she's awesome). I wore it under my leathers for track days and races for years, and now wear it under my motocross gear...

Only did it once: Purchased a brand new bike for the first time. Nervous of theft, I put a disc lock on it. Forgot about it one day, rolled it back and put a crack in my fender. Devastated! 6 months later it was stolen (even more devastated), so somebody else's issue I guess. Do it frequently...

Congrats. Fun times ahead. Like my Father-In-Law says, "If I knew grandkids were this much fun, I would have had them first! ;)"

Maybe I'll look into those this time. Thanks. I've inspected them, no visible pitting or damage on the tubes. I've cleaned them with the Risk Racing tool, no luck. I know I jumped the gun...Fingers crossed if we do get snow, its manageable by shovel, or melts the next day.

Put the winter tires, snowblower, kids sleds and shovels to storage, to make room for summer activities.....bikes staring at me the entire time. Soon darling, soon! Oh, and pulling the forks off the old KX250. Seals AGAIN....all OEM - they don't make em like they used to. I swear I got a handful...

My '06 needs a modern buddy in the garage. E-start, EFI 300 2t Kawi....sign me up!

Ours is about 5 years old, and it has a 30 minute cycle. I noticed a few other brands now have a quick cycle too.

Another vote here for Bosch dishwashers. Whisper quiet and works very well. We've had an LG fridge for 7 years now. Two years in the compressor went, so that was addressed. Otherwise its been good. Time will tell. 13 years ago, we spent a crap ton on Maytag for our first washer/dryer as a...

A few years back on a snowmobile trip, one of my buddies threw a stud through his heat exchanger. Yanked the belt and we pulled it 150km to a small shed in Shining Tree. Shop owner was more than happy to help (he provided a propane torch, a shop light, and stuffed beers in the snowbank for us...

No Ragrets

A friend's coleman chassis with a briggs engine cobbled together would be my first "ride". Plywood seat and duct tape for grips. Brakes were dragging your feet. KX125 when I was 15 for a few years riding and racing CMRC with a 10 year hiatus from motorcycles, then my first streetbike when I was...
