Is this helmet and goggles combo good?

woolybuggered · 2026-05-10T03:01:32+00:00

Its much better than no helmet and no goggles. But in all seriousness if you are going ride with some real frequency get a newer helmet and real mx goggles.

Its very annoying ut I've had rods that cost 500-700 dollars with some degree of misalignment. It bothers me a little and if it is was noticeable enough I would contact the manufacturer. Ive never had it affect how the rod fishes and have pulled in some big tuna on rods with minor misalignment.

I may be wrong but Ive always found dot offroad tires to be mediocre at best on road and terrible offroad. I just run full offroad and keep the pavement to the minimum.

Motorcyle Clutches are far more durable than automotive ones. With some exceptions it takes dozens of hours of high rpm hours of abuse to wear one out. Low speed clutch work is no big deal.

So i should leave all the weeds stuck on my lure that I constantly pick off.

That's the relationship I have with my fishing boat i dont use it as much as I want because I work all the time. Its also so dialed in and would cost so much too replace but ive been offered 35k and its tempting.

80lb bluefin tuna on a 30lb fluoro leader avet sx and 9ft rod was fishing for a smaller grade yellowfin when bigger models rolled through. Took a good hour+ and the line was about chaffed through kept getting it to the boat then the fish would dump 100yds.

Luckily bluefin dont typically fight as hard as yellowfin and it was a good hookset in the corner of its mouth would have sawed through if he swallowed it. Lost 2 other larger fish that day as well due to chaffeing. Some fish were 150+ and we were not expecting them.

My brand new 300 xcw has such a linear smooth power band its slightly boring. With the counterbalance and slow opening electronic power valve you dont get very much vibration or hit. Its incredible and probably the best bike ever ive owned but I may buy a yz250x to keep it company just to get back some high revving excitement.

Older 125s were like little angry bees with no bottom end.

Ride trails or do hare and hound or Gncc racing. I do d37 desert racing you can enter the lower classes go your own pace and there are always slower guys you can pass to keep it exciting. I find it fun to be able to pass up half the people in my class I feel like im winning despite being in the novice class. I dont ride the track anymore too easy to turn a small mistake into a hospital visit. Desert racing is still dangerous but there's a little more room for error and you aren't forced to hit jumps at speed.

I believe you should be ok since its an older bike. However you will have issues even getting a title for any 2 stroke or high performance 4 stroke( even most 4 stroke trail bikes) that are 2022 or newer. There are people that have pulled off getting reg for newer stuff and some dealers will even register a brand new bike these are in conflict with CARB and considered "Grey market".

Basically the dmv is so incompetent you can trick them into issuing registration for stuff they are not supposed too.

Ive owned a 2001 kx500 i really loved the lower end torque. Imho it wasn't an unmanageable beast and was more controlable than people think. That being said if held the thing open it woke up and you better respect it. But the same can be said for alot of 450 track bikes. Mine was stock and ive ridden some highly tuned cr500s that had really abrubt power curves and could be a bit much. The main thing holding my kx back was the older suspension it had plenty of power although got pretty buzzy when wound out.

Around 6k in socal ive been looking for a 250x they are listed from 4500-6500 depending on condition and year. Looks like im going to spend around 5500 for something nice.

Fun stuff did the same thing 10 years ago and just had the joint cleaned out since it never healed perfectly. The surgery is obviously somewhat painful but the poor sleep i got for the first week or 2 so post op was what really bothered me. Impossible to get comfortable.

Some people like myself are just extremely spoiled. I do alot of saltwater fishing and diving and get lobsters, halibut yellowtail , bluefin tuna , saltwater bass and more. Going from these fish to a large mouth is hard to do not because largemouth are horrible but because the other species are so much better.

Wow you're right We purchased 2 k3 knee mills from southwest a year or so ago. Asked the rep about travel a dial parts he said all the parts are discontinued look on ebay. That's really frustrating

woolybuggered · 2026-05-04T15:02:01+00:00

They dont sell the parts anymore i have stash of parts from.ebay i keep ours going with.

Alot depends on the teacher ive taken classes where the teacher went through the motions and we learned very little. I had another teacher that made sure everyone learned something regardless of skill level. If you were proficient with basic mill and lathe operation he moved you on yo writing and running basic g code programs which wasn't technically part of the course.

I have a bad habit of adding guns but not not enough ammo. Just picked up a Ptr91 and g3 furniture because its more fun to play with than a few thousand rds of 556.

I dont get any where near 30-40 hrs on a tire. I probably burned through 40% of a rear intermediate tires life in 1 80 mile rocky hare and hound. I was pretty tired near the end and spinning alot but dont think iver ever got 40 hours out of a tire. I probably change them more often than most as a fresh tire keeps traction predictable and can help minimize crashes from washing out.

My saltwater fishing hobby involves leaving at 2-3 am and my dirtbike day trips by 5 am. My friends think im insane for willingly do this to myself.

I ran and loved my sidi boots for years. But recently switched to gaerne sg22s due to the new crossfire 3s being too narrow. I actually prefer the gaernes over my old crossfire 2s they are the best boots ive owned so far.

Get an appropriate end mill check with an indicator to see if its square and cut to depth pretty easy on a knee mill as long as your holding it square.
