Hey Mick!! How you been man?

Those 08' CRF's are some sweet bikes , glad to hear you are showing her some love. I dig that new look! Looks lean and mean and the color combo looks pretty damn good! Looks like you put in a lot of time and effort into that one too. Good job bud.

Nice job! I didn't know Cycra sells a yellow front fender for the 2008? All other plastics are black with yellow graphics?

What's up Jeff! Things are good been busy with work and the family and building my CRF 450! I haven't been on here in a while but still keeping up with SX/MX.

I actually got in to ridding Stand Up Jet Skis, trying to stay in shape. I built 2 skis over the last year 1 in all carbon fiber with a monster motor pushing about 200hp. How's things been with you? You been out ridding much?

Hey Mick....I totally hear you on the being busy thing. The last few months seems like all I ever do is sleep and work. Been working some long and rough days , but I finally got my first ride of the year in just a couple weeks ago. I needed to put my bike back together from the bare frame too , and then my damn moto van broke down. I kind of slacked on both of them and should have had them ready months ago. But two weekends in a row now I've been able to ride , and going to make it a 3rd this weekend and hit Washougal. Hopefully I can keep it going and at least try to ride a few times a month. Other than that....everything is going really good with me. Sounds like everything is going great in your end of the world too. And Jet ski's.....Oh man , those things can be so much fun!! Glad you're having fun with them!

That's good man! Guys like us have to be ridden something even if it's in the dirt or the water! As long as it has a motor right! Keeps us sane! I wish I could hit up Washougal! I'm going to try to make it to Red Bud this year! My son is 3.5 so he is still not ready yet but next year he should be and get him on a Ktm after he masters his Pw50.


Here is a picture of my Jet Ski you gotta try ridden one there a blast!
