Episode 2 - Craigslist searching - Kawasaki Ninja

Here it is - Episode 1 of my motorcycle search mini series.  Be on the look out for more episodes.  In this episode I am after a Honda Goldwing.

Here is my 1985 Honda Odyssey FL350.

Here is one of my new videos.

Norton Transformer

A friend of mine sent this video to me.  It's a great video and must have taken a ton of time and effort to complete.  It was especially interesting to me since I have a Norton Commando.  Enjoy.

Amazing GoPro Hero 2 Helmet Camera Video!

I am thinking about buying a new camera and was told to check out the GoPro HD Hero 2.  The video below was found on youtube and is awesome.  Watch the video and see the amazing video that was put together using only the Hero 2 helmet camera.

Crash On Our Farm

The last time we went riding down on our farm my 11 year old cousin and I were doing some laps in the field .  He got too comfortable after a couple close calls.  On our last lap he took the turn too fast and rolled his Polaris on top of himself.  Luckily he did not get hurt, but he did get scared.

FMX - Freestyle Motocross - Richmond VA

Last night I had a chance attend to the FMX event that was in town.  The show was great and very entertaining.  If you get a chance to see this show I would suggest you do it.

Xtreme Mudding - ATV Style

If you are interested in ATVs that like mud then you really need to checkout Ostacruiser.  Ostacruiser uploads insane 4X4 ATV videos on youtube.  Here is a link to his channel - Ostacruiser.  I subscribed to his Youtube channel several months ago and really enjoy watching his videos.  He does a great job of showing Polaris, Canam and other quads going deep in mud holes and swamps.  Below I have posted some of his most popular videos.

Polaris Sportsman, Arctic Cat, Canam, Outlander, Renegade, Bruteforce

Fast Honda ATC 250R --- CHECK THIS THING OUT!

There is nothing like an old 2 stroke trike ripping through the woods.  The driver on this beast is obviously crazy because he is not wearing a helmet.  Those old three wheelers are awesome.

Awesome Suzuki LTZ400 Video

This video is really good. A lot of time was put into the production. Check it out!

Polaris Scrambler 500 4x4 Fix

About a year ago I had a problem with the 4x4 on my Polaris Scrambler 500.  When I turned on the switch only three wheels would spin.  After searching the internet, reading the manual, and taking the front left hub apart I was able to find the problem and fix it.   Below is the video I made of me working on the 4x4 and fixing the problem.  Hopefully this video can assist you if you have a similar issue or need help with your 4x4.

Question: What is the best brand of ATV?

I personally have fallen in love with my Kawasaki KFX700.  This atv has plenty of power, handles great, feels awesome, and is very enjoyable.  I would have to say the KFX is my favorite.  I also like the Polaris atvs that I have owned and ridden.  The are tough, durable, and easy to operate.  I like to keep a Polaris around as a buddy bike.  If a friend of mine or my 80 year old grandfather wants to go riding they will have no problem with the Polaris Scrambler or Trail Blazer.

Suzuki DRZ400 Engine Swap

I bought a Suzuki DRZ400 about six months ago from a friend.  The bike ran good and I was very happy with it.  When I purchased the bike it had a small oil leak behind the front sprocket which I thought would be an easy fix (new seal).  When I replaced the seal I realized that the bearing inside the case had been cracked by something (looked like a screwdriver mark).  Now this could have been done prior to me purchasing it or maybe I did it myself.  We tried sealing the hole, but we did not have any luck.  My thought then was to pull the engine off of the bike and fix it.  To fix the hole I would need to pull the top end off of the bike and split the cases.  Just as I was planning to begin this project I found the exact same engine on ebay for a good price.  The engine looked great and I felt more comfortable just swapping the engine instead of pulling it completely apart.  The engine arrived quickly and I proceeded to swap engines.  Here are the videos of the swap.
