Here's what I want to build my 2006 Honda TRX 450R to be



I went to see the doctor about my shoulder today.  I was worried because it has been really hurting and not seeming to get better.  I had two doctors look at it and they seemed to settle on a partial tear of the rotator cuff, not enough for surgery, thank heaven, but they wanted me to do a session of therapy to learn how to heal it.  I am going to keep icing, heating and doing electro therapy on my own for a couple weeks and see if I can't get it back on my own.  My hand is healing well, but still has a pretty hard lump on the bone. Also my knee that got whacked when I got bucked of has been hurting.  I am still pretty banged up, however I did pledge to the BOR guys that I will race Jackpot if I am physically able.  Anybody else in?

Little Sahara's Sand Mountain May 2010

We had a great turn out, I think Juston said we had 14 bikes out there!  We brought out 4 (TRX 125, Breeze, Scrambler 90, and the Big Red), all were used well.  We went on a nice long trail ride, over dunes, through trees,  and we even did a little trail blazing.  The kids did great, even over some challenging terrain.  I think we need to do that a few more times.

On the way to the Dunes!!!

G-pa in his trailer chilling.

Em collecting trash (and what $5 in change?)

Wow! Wendover 300 Was Wicked!!!

This nice little "beginner race" was 136 miles of pain and damage.  With motorcycles, quads, and eve some SxSs falling to the brutal terrain.  Jared and I both finished the race (Jared in 6th place with a time of 5hr 14mins and me right behind him (ok a 1/2 an hour behind) in 7 place with a time of 5hrs 43mins).  Frankly I am just happy to have finished the race as I wiped out 3 times (no exageration, off my bike 3 complete times and all were painful).  I will add more description of the pain later when I am more emotionally stable.  It was a brutal destructive course, but I got 2  T-shirts for the $130 entry fee:).

For now here are a couple of the videos of us starting, coming in at the 85mile, or so, pit stop and finishing the race.
