    Tokyo - What to do and see?

    I'm headed to Tokyo and Shibukawa for meetings next month. I have two days of free time to kill in Tokyo before I come home. What do I go see? Where can I get a Samurai sword and drift cars? (kidding)

    Sport Bikes AKA coffin on wheels

    I had a sport bike and a couple of dirt bikes before college. (12yrs ago) I always wanted to buy another one after I graduated and never did. GF, marriage, house, kids, divorce... all got in the way. This year I'm blowing my tax return on a bike. I'm looking at 04-07 600cc sport bikes. I'll...

    2012 Diggler Fall Classic

    I raced the 2012 Diggler Fall Classic this weekend. Awesome vibe and people at the race. The track was super blown out and I hadn't ridden it in three years but it was still awesome. http://www.pinkbike.com/video/278826/

    F-150 w/ Ecoboost Motor?

    I wrote off my 08 Tundra last week and need a new truck; took out 18 meters of guard rail on a bridge and had to climb out the sunroof. I test drove an F-150 Lariat and it was really nice, lots of power but still quiet and smooth. Any of you guys drive an F-150 with the Ecoboost motor? How's the...

    Kovarik Racing Clinic/Coaching

    I did a race clinic with Chris and Claire at the Western Open; it was awesome to ride and learn from them. I shaved 9 seconds of my time from last year on a course that was is way worse shape. They explained how to prepare for your race run, pick lines on the track, suspension and bike set-up...

    Helmet cam From Sunpeaks

    A little run on Sunpeaks. It was opening weekend and it poured rain the day before this so some of the trails were closed. I've cut back on going to Whistler since I started riding here; it's got all the trails you'd want plus smaller crowds. http://www.pinkbike.com/video/265942/

    Chain guide for my Trance

    Anyone run a chain guide on their Trance? I'll dump the big ring if I have too since I really only use it for chainsawing logs. There's no ISCG tabs so I'll need some sort of sandwich deal.

    Seattle - What do I go see?

    I'm gonna be in Seattle for the Supercross race this weekend. What else do I go see? Space needle, Pike Market, duck boat tour... I haven't been there since I was a kid. It might actually be sunny when I'm there too.

    TLD SE Pajamas

    Anyone use TLD SE gear out there? What's the big difference between the GP and SE gear? I like the looks of this stuff better that the GP gear. https://www.troyleedesigns.com/product.php?cat=226&id=19854 https://www.troyleedesigns.com/product.php?cat=228&id=19837

    2010 Boxxer Race oil weights

    Anybody out there try different oil weights in a Boxxer Race? My buddies is super harsh even with a soft spring. I'm thinking he should try lighter oil to take some of the harshness out of it. He did buy it used and this is the first time he's taken it apart so it may just need a good rebuild.

    Titanium spokes... Where can I buy them?

    I need some Ti spokes and they're not for wheels. The GF's dad has a 40' troller that he runs during the summer off the west coast of BC. He uses Ti spokes to secure his gear because they won't corrode. Any idea where I can get some? Length isn't a huge issue. I found one set on eBay but...

    Heading to Supercross finals in Vegas. What do I need to see?

    Me and the GF are heading to Vegas for Supercross finals. I've never been to Vegas or a Supercross race. Anything I have to do or see while I'm there? What the pre-race stuff like in the pits? I need to take her out for a reasonably nice dinner at least one night. It'll be our first real...

    Light Wheels for the GF's DH Bike

    I built my girlfriend a DH bike last year and put some boat anchor wheels on it I had laying around. The frony is a 36H Hadley w/ 729 and the rear is the stock hub off my old 04 Demo 9 which is 36H laced to a 729. Can anyone tell me what wheels came on the Iron Horse 6points? Or suggest any...

    2010 Flatline Good, Bad or Ugly?

    I've really heard nothing good or bad about them... Anyone been riding one over the last season? Likes? Dislikes? Problems? Shock setting? Spring rates? I'm waiting on warranty for my Revolt and don't want to end up with no bike next year. I can get a good deal on a Flatline. My buddy has...

    Cutting Wet Screams

    Does anyone have any pics of how they cut their Wet Screams? I'm at the Western open and it's raining off and on. There are a couple of rock slabs and not a whole lot of loamy sections. Thanks.

    Some pics from Whistler this weekend

    Spent the weekend in Whistler teaching the gf to ride. She had a great time and even accidentally got both tires off the ground. :thumb: I got a few runs down Detroit, Joyride, Fench Connection and the CO course. It was a great weekend until my buddy blew up on upper Joyride and broke his...
