About Me
Student at Stetson University. Still find time to ride and race in Florida, especially during the late winter and mid-summer. Eventually will graduate and then head off to more school at graduate school. But also plan on taking the bike with me, where ever I go.

miketherider Added a reply to Brian Moreau update?

1/16/2026 3:38pm
A verdict was reached today, no updates posted publicly yet unless someone has access to PACER. Reading through a lot of the documents, Moreau's legal counsel was leaning heavily on the aspect of what pertained to proper medical procedures and if those on site were considered qualified in terms of process to evaluate an injury. Defendants attempted to dismiss the...

1998 CR250, bought it to make a pre-mod ride. Someone had gone through some mods prior to me, rode it once, hands went numb about about 6 minutes. Tried bar mounts, pegs, fly wheel weight that came with it, no difference. Couldn't imagine riding 1.5 hours in the woods and not having any feeling in my extremities for the next...

Still have 2 motos, but unless he's truly "injured", believe this mornings shenanigans may be the end of the road for Jorge and team green.

I either go the a) low price, get it in and out quick, or b) only list on group pages that tend to trim down the amount of "uneducated" buyers. I also have location disabled or set it to areas that are 10-15 miles away, then only agree to meet at a police station with other "safety measurements" as allowed...

miketherider Added a reply to Reducing barvibrations YZ250

The luxon bar mount clamps are a great option without breaking the bank. They've helped a lot with my 125; I broke my throttle hand and mangled some ligaments, the bar mounts count out the numbness issues I would have after 20 min. I have not tried the optional dampners, but you have 3 separate options for mega-soft, medium, and...

Title is a runaway, but that was a seriously entertaining day with all sorts of surprises around every corner (literally).

Used to be only Honda, small support/parts budget from a dealer network, then when we went to buy first set of 125s. Myself and my dad rode a stock 1999 CR125...and it was slower than slow. Dad got a test ride on a 99 YZ125 and by the following week, all the Honda stuff was gone and in came the...

miketherider Added a reply to Another horrible take from Catanzaro

3/7/2025 10:11am
Stu Baylor broke his neck to the extent he basically almost decapitated himself, but still finished a race. Riding woods doesn't seem risky, but riding in the woods at a face pace is what creates the risk. As Jeremy Clarkson once said, "speed has never killed anyone; suddenly becoming stationary, that's what gets you." And in GNCC/NEPG enduros, there are...

3/3/2025 10:11am
On the same page with many; life is busy, riding time is limited, spending 2 minutes to swap a filter lot easier than cleaning, drying, oiling, all that. I do keep a good spare filter web one for when I know it's super dusty, and I have a pre-filter I usually run with if I know I will do only...

1/16/2025 9:04am
we've had a nice winter, but the last 2 or 3 were miserable with rain, warmer temps, and our summer from orlando south was one of the hottest on record. May-October in Orlando is miserable, the humidity is just brutal and it doesn't go away; nightly temps can still "feel like" 95+. We have a decent number of tracks (Pax...

Winds from the south early in the day...some possible shift from the NE for night show would could blow some of the smoke that way, though would be near the end.
