Sweet house paint paint job, you can’t see the brush marks in the picture.

If I could only have one it would be a single stack, they have the classic look and great feel in the hand. The double stacks are a little chunky and weird feeling to me, though I wouldn't kick one out of the safe if I had one! Dare I say though, the only 1911 and the only .45 in the safe is my...

I’m afraid you’re probably right.   The small intake side coolant holes of the head gasket were definitely partly occluded by RTV.  Took the cylinder off to check for rod bearing play. Seems like there’s a little in the big end. More evidence of porting, no marking or signature so who knows...

Put a new chain and sprockets on the Husky then took it for a ride.  Messed with the motor on the 250r and finding more things that need to be addressed.   

Sprayed carb cleaner around the intake, carb, cylinder base and head with no change. Popped the head and reeds off. Holy RTV. No obvious signs of head gasket failure but someone was really sloppy when they were in there last.  Intake was quite wet, as were the reeds   Some light scoring on...

Saw this one yesterday, not as bad as the others but still didn’t look like he was having a good time  

Picked up an 85 ATC250r couple months back. Been running 32:1 Super Techniplate or Castor 927 with premium gas. Stock intake and carb, UNI filter, Dg pipe, FMF silencer, Stock bore, Boyeson 2 stage power reeds.  Took it out last trip with no significant issues. Seemed like it was loading up and...

Pair of Dune Sport 14.50x15 #2 cut on Douglas beadlock wheels, 3.5” backspace. I believe they were originally from a Gen3 Funco. Bought last year from a GD member but they are too much tire for my car.  Good condition, hold air pretty well, no big chunks gone. Over 1” of paddle left.    $600...

Spent the weekend in Glamis. 

Wonder how the big wheel would do with a smoothie front. In any case not going to change too much until we actually ride it. How did that folding triangle stand work, is it long enough to use with the hole in the swingarm? Yeah I've heard the complaints about the Missile kit handling, but they...

Work today, should be home tomorrow. Hang out with the wife, try to fit in some pre trip work before our glamis trip Friday, drink because it’s a holiday.  I think the 250r is ready for it’s first run. Picked up a big wheel 426 we are going to gift to my dad, I want to try to get the...

big gun wing Wednesday 

The old wood side gate posts were falling down. Put in new metal posts and took the chance to widen it to 12ft for the trailer.    Today bought a new money pit. Not the cleanest but she seems to run strong. 

Went for a bike ride. Later going to a family bbq pool party in Ramona  

Cleaning out old riding gear that doesn’t fit anymore, can’t bring myself to toss it. Perfect if you have a teen that’s gonna outgrow it anyway.    Thor t-30 boots. Size 10 Thor Core pants size 32 Shift recon outside the boot, size 30   --Claimed-- NoFear pants, can’t read the label: 30or...

Went for a couple little rides on the supermoto, man that thing is a blast. Gonna take some getting used to the feel but it’s got some balls.    Decided to convert it to dirt setup, I plan to mostly use it for local trails so it will probably live this way most of the time.   

Work has been crazy, basically been living there the last couple weeks. Decided to treat myself today to a new toy. 

Selling a Silver painted Leer 180, mid rise shell for super duty. Came off my 2005 short bed, but I think it might be designed for a later model, it has a “flare” in the middle of the tailgate area that the older trucks don’t have.    pretty good shape, carpeted inside, sliding windows with...

Went for a little hike in beautiful Banning yesterday.
