Just got home from work and one of JW381's buddies Riley took these of me up at Mtn view last weekend. Riley also took some awesome shots up at the national the day before too ( especially a badass RD5 pic!...amazing! ). Anyways , besides those couple pics some random guy took of me about a month ago , I really don't have any of me riding at all , so I was kind of proud to actually have a few. Unfortunately my RM is going to be down for a couple weeks as I replace some seals because I'm losing motor oil , but she'll be back up and rippin' here real soon! Brrraaapp! yeehawww!

Thanks dudes for the compliments! I love that old TLD gear ( 2005 stuff ). I have about 8 sets of it , but when I got hurt in 06' it all just sat there for 6yrs. Reason why a lot of it still looks new , because it is haha. I still have 3 full sets with the damn tags still on them.

@Grieby....I like the FC stuff a lot! I'm lucky enough to have one of their shops 30mins from my house , but honestly after I picked it up from them , all I had to do was play around with the clickers here and there. I couldn't ask for better! very , very happy!

@BVM....brother , if you get time , head this way again and plan your trip around a good weekend. Tue-Mtn view , Wed -Albany , Thursday- PIR , Fri-beer , Sat-Sun.....whatever is running! You know my couch is always open buddy!

@Flipstick.....after I read your post I went and double checked. I have 3 sets of the orange and black , 2 sets of the black and white , 1 set of the red and black , 1 set of the red and white ( vented ) and one set of the Navy blue. Each set came with one pair of pants and two lettered and numbered jerseys. What is totally cool about this is , I don't really gain weight easily , so all my stuff fits like it did 10yrs ago haha. In fact , my 95-99 Thor gear still fit , but it's pretty crusty.

@Drakep2.....Brother look up a guy here named EzzaB! He is not only an awesome artist , but an awesome person and a guy whom I call a good friend! He started off with mine and then I have a 2nd one with me on the RC 250 Suzuki , but he hasn't really finished it yet , and he's extremely particular about that shit! To me it looks badass , but knowing him he'll spend another 100hrs on it because he a damned perfectionist! Side note : he did a really cool one for Michael Lieb as well.

Yep! Ezza.....he's the man! Drake , get a hold of him and you guys can talk numbers. I think it all depends on what you want. For me , I waned him to keep doing this stuff because he's really , really talented at it. It aint free , but it's worth it because it's something you can have for the rest of your life.

Mnt view on an overcast cool summer day....what dreams are made of!. Looking good there Jeffro. I'm hoping to meet you up there this weekend. Is the photog Riley Prest? If so, he's a cool cat. He's usually at Albany snapping shots. He is getting pretty good with the camera it appears.

Yep that's him brother! And yeah , he is a cool cat for sure! he's good friends with Justin ( JW381 ) and he's a hell of a photo guy for sure!

And damn....Mtn view and Albany both are having double practice days this weekend. I need to make some calls and see what the plan is with some of my buddies. I'll get a hold of you Patrick as soon as I know brother!

Nice pics, the northwest looks like a place to moto before you die. Awesome scenery and good dirt! I'm looking for an 04-08 RM250 now Tongue I miss the older gear that was much more simple some of the stuff today is just too outlandish for me.

if you're serious about that bike and want to go "next level" with it, put a Lectron on it.

I have one on my 144. Just bought a 250 and was planning on putting one on that as well. Do you think you get better fuel economy with the Lectron? I'm setting it up for XC.

The 144 gets ridiculous economy but I never rode it with the stock carby so might just be the fact It's a 144. Rode for 4 hours (ride time) the other day and still had a third of a tank left, that's with a 7.5 litre tank.

This thread inspired me to load up my 06 rm250 and drive 7 hours to ride Mtn view. Love the bike and the track!! Sorry to hear about your bike trouble.

Here is a clip in the whoops.
