JR50 Performance Tune
The JR50 has a washer with a small diameter hole in the middle that goes between the exhaust pipe and exhaust port of the cylinder to reduce flow and slow down the bike. It looks like this. You can see the new/altered one I have next to the stock one still in the pipe. It […]
Wasn’t My Intention
To share rides for two hours in the yard today. I had another plan to work on some performance tuning (I’ll post later), but the girls were doing so well and having such a good time we let it roll. If you’ve been following along, you know that the Honda is in the shop […]
Kid Cell Phones
For Christmas we got the girls these walkie talkies. One for each of them and one for each of us. Works great. We send them out in the yard or over to the neighbors house and they let us know they are there or want to come home for lunch, etc. with them. In addition […]
In Their Own Beds
After sleeping together for almost four months, the girls decided it was time to go back to their own beds. Abigail discovered that Lauren has her mother’s ability to stay up late, get up early, and power all day like she’s had the average required level of sleep that most of us need. Lauren and […]
Winter Maintenance Time
Took my bike and the girls bike to the KTM shop for their winter check-up. My bike needs a new rear tire and I broke a bolt in a threaded fastener on the sub-frame. Hopefully they can get it out for cheaper than a used sub-frame. The girls bike needs some fork work. Pretty sure […]

Meet with customer in Detroit on Thursday. Fly back to Boston Thursday night. Fly home Friday night. … Yeah. I’m […]
Florida Again
Went to Florida again for Jen’s birthday. It was nice and warm. We decided to take the kids with us next year. – b
Day in the Mud
After a few days of rain, the weather was supposed to be warmish on Saturday, so we loaded up the rides and headed to the mud. Though the Honda needs some tweaks, I decided to ride it as is for possibly a better assessment of what it might need. Already I know it needs a […]
Pie Face
Have you heard of this game? Got it for Christmas. Finally got around to trying it. Went on a whip cream hunt yesterday afternoon. Not an easy task since they closed our grocery store down over a year ago (we weren’t near town and didn’t want to go to town when we decided we needed […]
And There You Have It
One night before going away on my various travels I found and picked this up. The girls were obviously ecstatic. It’s a 2005 Honda CRF50. It needs a few things, but it’s a Honda. It should be awesome. It’s also a four stroke. It should operate a little differently than the JR50. It’s also nearly […]
