 Dust. I’m a freak about clean goggles. I want to see what I’m about to plow into, because nobody likes a surprise. Dust. I’m a freak about clean goggles. I want to see what I’m about to plow into, because nobody likes a surprise. My method of helping you see in the nasty is a lot cheaper than a front wheel or a visit to your neighbor hood bone-fixer.

 Every year when the new bikes start to hit the marketplace and show up in magazines, I look at what each manufacturer has done to their bikes. Every year when the new bikes start to hit the marketplace and show up in magazines, I look at what each manufacturer has done to their bikes. Some years you see completely new bikes and other years you see Bold New Graphics. Each time I see a new bike I like, I go out to my garden to see if my money tree is growing. I must be a horrible gardener or my kids like to raid the money tree. Either way, each year buying a new bike is out of my budget. Fortunately, I've been able to find quality used bikes to satisfy my addiction to single-track. Photo Gallery: Budget Makeover, Take Two - Dirt Rider Magazine |
 A dirt bike’s brake bleed screw rubber caps have a habit of being torn off or damaged. Tommy Thomson / Belfair, WAA dirt bike’s brake bleed screw rubber caps have a habit of being torn off or damaged. This allows water (then rust) and crud to get inside the bleed screw, thus making it impossible to bleed your brakes without first removing them to clean the stuff out. My solution is to remove the brake bleed screws, throw away the rubber thingy, tap the end of the bleed screw with a No. 6-32 tap and then install a screw about 3⁄8 inch long, and the problem is solved forever. It isn’t fancy or super trick, but it is very effective.Photo Gallery: Long-Term Brake Reservoir Fix - Dirt Rider Magazine
 I was itching to get a new bike. I had big plans. I was going to take her to my favorite riding area and treat her to the finest aftermarket products money could buy. I was itching to get a new bike. I had big plans. I was going to take her to my favorite riding area and treat her to the finest aftermarket products money could buy. Then maybe in a year or two, we would part ways so I could move on to something younger and better looking. I couldn't wait to load her into my truck and stare in the rearview mirror on the way home. At least that was my initial plan. Unfortunately, the company I worked for was bought out and thousands of employees were laid off, including myself. Simply put, I didn't have the money for a new bike. I experienced the harsh reality that my 2008 KTM 250 XC would have to last another year. My itch for a new model turned into an irritation.
