223.8 My goal is to be at 195. Crap that means exercise and something other than chocolate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'm on it. Yesterday I did my favorite kind of workout. Road the bike all day! I have to be honest I was on the KTM. Minus 3 pounds when I got on the scale this morning (wate...

Hardrock Ocala, Florida.

Sunday I finally got some real seat time on the AFC. It hasn't been fun getting her up to spec. Anyways I meet some buddies at Hardrock MX just outside of Ocala, Florida. I'm just getting over a lower broken back so the plan was to take it easy. I met some buds and we headed off on some single track...

Biggest Loser 2012???

I've put on way to many pounds over the last few years. Anyone interested in doing a diet challenge. I know there was pretty successful one a couple of years ago here.

Personally I need to loose 20-25 pounds.

Anyone else game?

Thanks too work that idea went out the window. I love being on call when I'm not on call (make sense). Last night I broke down the carb. Everytime I turn on the gas it comes straight out the vents. After breaking it down, and cleaning her top to bottom I wrestled the carb back into place. Now the ve...

Swapping out the Engine this weekend.

Last month I bought a spare engine for the AFC. The one in her now still runs, but I'd like to see how the new one compares. I can't for see any major challenges, but I know I'll run into a few things. The new engine has been ported, and polished and has a good size overbore. I'm fitting an Lectron ...

Nice Job man. Glad it was you, if I had done that and my wife (or yours for that matter) had tried to pick me up excited in the end we would have to sell the car to cover the back surgery. Cool deal and good job on getting the video reaction. I'm almost double her weight. She must be on the juice.

Road Trip...

Sorry I haven't been around for the man-sex for the last week.

My wife's 40th was Saturday, and I had a flight to catch to pick up her birthday surprise.

I asked my wife if I could do this race for our Honeymoon. She's from the UK (Southport), so the part about convincing her we would be close to her family didn't fly.

Oh, and hell no I wouldn't do that race even if she said yes.

Thank You Bob! 500 conversions.

Guys, I spoke to Grant for about an hour this evening. He has completely taken ownership for what happened with the sale of the bike I bought from him. Grant also agreed to compensate me for the costs I've encountered. He never wavered when I stated what I wanted. The title also should be on it's wa...

What the others said. Stay away. Grant took me for a ride, and some. I'm still trying to get a title issue sorted. My bike wouldn't start, leaked from all over, and in general minus the plastics was crap. In the last 3 weeks I've ripped the engine apart, and rebuilt it. I wished I would have known a...

Guys is there a trick to getting the outer counter sprocket seal out? I'm not talking about the one the resides inside the collar. The one in there now is toast, and leaking heavily.

Grant got the title sorted. He should receive a replacement in 2 weeks, and then he will mail it too me.

This HUGE for me. I give him props for following through.

The bike you won't recognize in 3 months minus the plastics.

Well she still has more leaks more than Titantic, but she starts easier. Granted I have to turn off the fuel once the carb gets gas or it just flows out the overflow. I put the new coil on, and ran the ground to a different location. She started on the first kick 3 seperate times. Saturday I plan on...
