I was at the "Cabin Thursday night, and saw a van pulling out that said 'Jeff Hillis Suspension" on the side, with a 419 area code. Is he doing suspension now? I mentioned it to a guy there I knew, and he said he never heard of the guy before, but the van was parked next to him. I asked if...

I don't know if I'm the only one here who has problems dialing in a track in the 4 or 5 practice laps you get when you go to a race at a temporary (like a fair race), or an unfamiliar track. I generally need about a half hour or so of riding on a track to get it down. I rarely if ever get it. My...

Anybody have the Faircross schedule? I went to the CRA site, and it's limp for some reason. I'd like to see the schedule, but specifically what day this week the Cuyahoga Co. fair race is on. --L*64

Anybody planning on running 'em at the Medin-er Fair Tuesday night? I haven't heard anybody talking about it at all. It's a fun little race for sure. --L*64

So I need to dial a set of damping rod forks. According to the Race Tech chart-- I need a set of .44 springs to match the rate of the rear. To do it correctly-- you would probably want to weld the holes in the damping rods shut, and re-drill them smaler to help control the rebound of the stiffer...

I figured this was a discussable topic... When setting up suspension, weight and riding abllity seem to always be at the forefront of conversation. But I just had a conversation with a guy the other night about taking his son's height into consideration when setting up his suspension. At 5'4--...

Anybody know of anybody around the Medina area that does soda blasting at an inexpensive price? Any before and after pics? I'd like to get the engine cases done on my GF's new to her XR80. I don't want to take the motor all apart and have the cases bead blasted-- they don't look too bad. I'd...

With all the bikes being stolen lately-- I started thinking about ways to thug- proof my garage. I'm considering getting a bike someday-- so I'm thinking about what's available insurance wise at an affordable price. Anybody have their bikes insured against fire/theft? If so-- we should prolly...

So it was my B-day the other day, and I figured I owed it to myself to go off and have a good time riding somewhere. I've been meaning to get to the 'Rail-- so I loaded up the truck and headed out last night. The place is DAMN nice!! It's actually bigger, newer, and brighter than what I was...

So I was watching the local Cleveland news Saturday night, and they had a pretty nice story about Ryans' unfortunate injury, his family, and the support they're getting from members of the community. It was well done considering the cluelessness of the public when it comes to dirt bikes. I've...

I started thinking about this when I was looking to run MX suspension on a KDX 220. It seems like everybody is doing bore- up 125's. It works pretty well obviously, but has anybody gone the other way? As in toning down a 250 two stroke? Reducing the hit via less compression, smaller carb, and a...

Where in the hell is the drain plug for the coolant on a Honda? I already tried the manual, and it says to take it to the dealer...? I'm working on my 150R pit bike, and aside from pulling the hose off-- I can't figure out how to drain the coolant! This is why I like two strokes. --L*64

I got my new to me 150R pit bike-- set up for supermoto, with an intricate catch can system. I got the stock overflow hoses in a box (there seem to be alot of them). I have no idea as to their correct routing. I can gather alot of info via the parts breakdowns, but if anybody can help me out...

So here's the scoop.... I got a super sweet 150R (I'm a sucker for unloved mini bikes) as a partial trade on another bike I just sold to somebody. It came from Tennessee where they don't get titles for dirt bikes. Now it's here in Ohio-- where we DO have titles for dirt bikes. What do I need to...

Well-- we came, we raced, we had a ball! If ya snoozed on this event, ya missed out. The track is fun, and super well prepped, the racing is competitive- and not very serious. The awards are sweet! We got a choice of Fly/Scott goggles or MX socks. Did I mention the classes were only $5? You...

I've been wearing Alpinestars Tech 8's. IMO-- there are NO better boots available. They have the inner slipper inside the boot. Now my beloved 'Stars are completely whooped at this point, and I have a brand new pair of Fox Pro boots sitting around that I was thinking of breaking in and wearing...

I know this is a local MX forum, but I wanted to remind y'all to take a minute today to reflect upon all that was lost 10 years ago. Families, friends, emergency workers-- all fellow Americans. Don't know if any dirt bike riders were lost. As for me-- I'm proud to be an American, and happy to...

OK-- So the new generation starts next week at Smith Rd. I dunno why, but I'm a little sad about the changing of the guard. After all-- I learned to ride there (not very well). IMO-- it's the Carlsbad Raceway of Ohio. On the other hand-- I'm a little excited that the track will have a much...

I have a perfect set of 2 year old Tag Metals bars on my bike, but the hardware that holds the cross bar to the crossbar clamps vibrated out, and somehow Tag can't get it anymore. What I really need are the round nuts that go on the back of the bar clamps. I can't just go to the hardware store...

Anybody see the 2012 Corvette Stingray? I want this car bad!!! ---- L*64
