So after all those pretty pics. I ripped into the top end. Not pretty, the crank blew over .040 side gap and the cylinder looked out of round? Had the stop sign drag marks..... So I have my work cut out for me. Gonna have a beer and some tunes while I think about this.... http://www.youtube.com/watc...

After reading and reading. I found an article that stated the DOMA system really wakes this bike up. The only person that use to import them, Grant Langston's dad...no longer imports them due to Euro/Dollar trade off. Granted, this is my woods bike. Different from desert bike where the 500 reigns. I...

I just got a full FMF exhaust. Doma is unavailable and was the "best" setup on my bike. I have been batting around the idea, from Adam, of swapping out the TMX for either a 00 KX250 or 05'ish YZ250 PWK, both have TPS and it will work on the CR. Good tip on the base gasket! I am gonna break...

Ok here we are.... Not a lot of work really. Been really busy with work and both the wife and I are sick as dogs.  :-[ 1) Cleaned and serviced my Scotts Damper....quite easy really. 2) Installed Scotts Offset 1 1/8 Bar Clamps 3) Installed new Windham Bend Pro-Taper Evo's 4) New grips 5) Damper mount...

I took the bike out the other day after all the work I've done thus far. I can tell a big difference! It is kinda lacking on the bottom end....whisk it open and it gets "angry" in a hurry. I need to drop the main down one size leaner and it should be spot on. The power of this bike is some...

Needs to be leaned out off the bottom and maybe one size down on the main. Once in the power and the pipe comes on its begs for more....fun. It doesn't have the hit of the 500 obviously. Very light and its TURNS!!! This is going to take some getting use to. Its fast for a 250. Going to have to drop ...

Lemme get this outta the way. I am a 500 rider, nothing thrills like the pipe of a CR500. I did have other 500's, a pristine 2001 sold to Lewisclan. My 89, she is gorgeous to me. I built it from roach to almost brand new. I want to preserve that. I will still ride my 89'er but only on special rides ...

Wooot!

I just saw this a few days back. Pretty costly...with some big claims. https://secure.powerapt.com/smartcarb.php https://secure.powerapt.com/sonicflow-engine.php PJ and PWK replacement: http://store.powerapt.com/prod_display.php?prod_ref=3 The flavor selection is there: http://store.powerapt.com/go/...

Yep Bobby Special...he turned me onto this many years ago and deserves a revisit.... I love all sorts of cool gadgetry....as long as it serves a purpose and works. Bobber turned me onto this several years back. I put one on the 500 and love it. Its simple, and makes life easy. http://www.ziptyracing...

**Gen 3 CR/CRF Plus** I wanted to try something a bit stronger that the OE guard. I have had good luck with the Scotts Billet guard that I have on my 500....that thing can take a beating and shrug it off. However, I wanted to try to save some weight. I did consider the Zip-Ty shark fin--not in stock...

Bike Tabs!!!!!! I just talked with Idaho DMV. As long as your bike is titled and registered w/ current tabs you can ride in Idaho on your home stqate tabs for up to 30 days. Good news aye...


So far BobD, Rooster, Mojo, Rabbit +1 and myself and clan are 100% with a few possibles.

Ok, I talked to Mojo this am. Lets shoot for 3-6/7 July 2013. Now its set and if you need to adjust a schedule or mark it on a calander...DOIT! ;) I think Camping at Farragut State Park sounds good. They have Cabins, RV Spots and primitive campin. [highlight]If you are 100% in, you need to make a re...

Catching this up over here... Mojo: For those coming along and NOT riding: http://www.silverwoodthemepark.com/ Is right here. Literally 10 minutes from my house, no more than an hour and a half from any of the camp sites, except Manastash. You can actually camp there. If you want to camp in a nice s...

I ran a M5B with Maxxis SI front. That was my Jawbone Canyon/Red Mtn set-up. Works great in the loam. Hardpack/decomposing rock....not so much as you skid all over the place.

Ok, talked to Mojo. I was pushing for spring to keep the dust down. I think doing this on a holiday weekend such as July 4th would a good time-frame. We will be looking at Idaho more so than Washington. Why? Because Spokane is closer if someone wants to fly in. An exact location and date will be ham...

Shit yeah! The more the merrier.

I looked and did not see this on a glance. Figured I would add it in. Slow progress, been TDY..just got back early yesterday morning and went right into work to receive a brand spankin new jet--no rest for the weary. Got home and started to unwind and saw a box on my work-bench. My Cycra's finally g...

Good to see Al! Would be a pleasure to have you up here.

So I got an idea.... I have talked to a few guys and they are really excited about the idea of having group/site ride up here in the PNW. I threw this at Mojoscojo. Some things to ponder: 1) This is not the desert...roots and mud are not your friend. 2) Will be something for everyone....C all the wa...

I took this pic when I was learning about my 500. Hauna, my daughter and the apple of my eye. This is on the site pics also: https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/9c2441393f95626727ab68c37d6d6b43.jpg Now....and wanting her own bike. She scares me....fearless. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images...

PNW Oysters....maybe not its a Korea Recipe So today, Tacoma Boys (supports local economy and much like a farmers market) had a big delivery on shell-fish and everything went on sale.. Bonus for us arrrrrrr...lets Q. So this is not common for us red blooded gun toting Americans. I learned this in K...

Thats cool! I like the idea.....might have to snag one.

Ju say ribs? I snagged a few racks of baby backs a while and they came out awesome!  Here is what I did: I had 4-5 good side racks that are marbled a bit and not too much fat. I got them home and unwrapped them...flipped them over to the concave side. Jabbed a fork under the white membrane till I co...

Stuffed Breasts I like chicken! I had my wife make the dressing for these, which I do not have the recipe. Use what you like..stove top whatever. Get some good side breasts and slice em open like a Pita...stuff em full. Fire up the weber and place the breasts right along the back of the grill. This...
