Blakelpd5's Riding report videos thread

Had a great ride today. General consensus was 56-59 miles... One guy with a stock tank had to get fuel from the group twice. I made it back on my oversized IMS tank, but BARELY....

I need a lectron for the mpg!!!

Wonder how long it would take for the gas savings to pay for the lectron? I've gotta talk myself into one somehow...

At ~$300.00 per CARB ... You gotta save ~86 GALs of fuel at ~$3.50 per GAL of fuel ... 425 GAL(burned) * .20 (20% fuel savings) = 85 GAL saved... You could also subtract the selling price of the old CARB here also ...

And the sooner you buy the CARB and start the saving, the sooner you burn the needed gas volume to save the $$ amount ... I could save\burn that much fuel in under a yr if I stuck to the 2t machine for most of my riding ... The WR250 is very cool but so are the TC250s and hard to stay off of ...

EDIT: And look at this purchase as a hedge against higher gas prices ... IF\As the price of gas goes up, the CARB will save more per ride ... Gas prices normally rise in the summer months when demand goes up and we are riding bikes ...

Got the boys out today for a little seat time. Caden is 7, and Kyson just turned 4. They both did great!

Caden was digging in this pic so he could get to his shifter to put it in neutral. Kyson was stopping to ask brother if he needed help.


Here is Caden rockin it!

This looks like some very good training in the right location also ...

It is a great place... Caden saw me do both of those obsitcals, and next time I was following him around, I saw him trying them as well. It's a modest 5 acre parcel that is flat on one side, and some slight elevation changes on the other. Perfect for the 3 of us. I have to stay on the ttr-125 though, or my dad would be disappointed at the berms I'd be blowing in. Only 15 min from my house is a HUGE plus.

My little guy on some sweet single track. This is semi-close to where the PNW Husky gathering has been the past 3 years..

Really cool Blake. Don't forget you can bring them out here for a little change.

My New Pimp-Ass Ride... Audi R8. This thing sounds like a straight up race car when I started it. I might have pee'd myself a bit...




I kid, I kid... I even took my shoes off when moving it so I didn't get my poor man's dirt in his sick F-ing ride... I'm re-doing their garage floor, and they are in Mexico, so he said, sure, go ahead and move them as you need... I almost moved it to my house, but figured he has sensors tracking every RPM...

I also moved his wife Mercedes SUV, and his SICK as a MO-FO 4dr Bentley... Today was a good day!

What sort of clutch life do you WR165 fellas get? Man, you work those things.

220 hrs on stock clutch, about 135 hours in 125 trim, and 85 hours in 165 trim. .

Today's event:

Alley Sweeper Enduro. Basically chaos in the city. Enjoy!

That kinda does look like me, but my chest hair is more sporadic...

I need to get the China Hat ISDE vid together!
