• Suspension Preparations

  

  The latest work on the bike has been to the shock.  Joe had already gone through the forks and made sure they were good to go, altering the fluid level/air cushion slightly for Barber.  Then onto the shock, he took it apart, rebuilt it, then took it apart and checked it again.  Thorough.  We have a special ...

• Power Preparations

  

  We visited the dyno this past weekend to check some things before the Grand National Finals next month.  All in all, it was a very beneficial trip.  We found some power up top and really tightened up the map between 11k and 13k.  Apparently we've been running rich much of the season, so some good power ...

• Windham Acres Summer Shandy Invitational

  

  We had our third official "event" at Windham Acres this past weekend - the Summer Shandy Invitational.  With 18 riders lined up for Superpole - all on little XR100's or TTR125's, it was pretty funny.  Grown men and women riding little bikes is always entertaining.  This was our biggest group yet and I had a blast ...

• Buckered Out in the Land of Buckeyes

  

  Mid-O this past Saturday was a bit less than what I had hoped.  I couldn't shake being sick and that seemed to affect my riding.  Among my other excuses - new sealer on the track surface, a congested number of riders for the event and not having ridden ...

• Focus…

  

  Amidst my down time, I opted to put my trusty and reliable mountain bike up for sale.  It was a Jamis 26 full suspension that I had bought a couple seasons prior and had ridden a great deal on.  I loved the bike.  I listed it because I kind of wanted to ...
