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?

Knolls April 24th 2010, Race Prep and Proving Grounds

So, nobody came out to ride but me and Jared, but we understand a birth in the family will do that to a ride.  The ride was awesome.  We left my house at about 1330 right after I traded away my precious motorcycle for an '06 Honda TRX 450R.  I feel good about the trade so far.  The bike has been abused, but it has wonderful potential.  Anyhow, Jared and I went on probably about 4 hours of pretty hard riding to see if our bikes and our bodies would hold up to the test we will have next Saturday.  We will and so will the bikes.  And the good news is now Dan can ride my Raptor for the race!!! 

Back to the Knolls, we pretty much rode every terrain available including mud.  We went to the furthest reaches and back, we maxed our speed, and even saw a baby bird up close.  It was a perfect ride day!

I'll list some pictures and then vids on the next post.















Loaded up and ready to ride.













It was hard to pay that entrance fee, but the camera to the left would have know.














J Testing out the extended swing arm and a arms, and yep, they really do work.

Nice view and nice bead-locks!














This is looking out over the forbidden govt land, beautiful.




























Cement mud all over, thank goodness for goggles.














That stuff is really hard to get off.














I think we scared this little feller pretty good, he was young just learning to fly (no tail feathers yet).














Just about done for the day, water fowl in the background.
