    OH WOW! Get this...

    Once I finished, I came back up to the top to let ya'll know that this is a very long post and it might be worth while to some, but others are gonna hate me. I have said a few times that "all my wife will ride is her broom". Apparently, not so. I just posted "for the kids" and was on the...

    for the kids

    I bought these for my girls a couple of years ago. At the time the oldest was 11, the "blonde" (what we call her) was 4, and the boy was right at 1. I also liked to drink Michelob which hasn't changed although the amount has (fewer now). The dog bit the boy and is no longer with us (use your...

    Two stroke ?'s

    I have only been back into the hobby for a couple of weeks. I've been out for about 7 years. It was 2001/2002 when the four strokes were making their debut (as far as I remember anyway). I had a buddy who raced 250 class locally. Which wasn't much but whatever. I asked him if would be...

    Might as well do it now.

    I'm sittin here half sick, no TV, feel too bad to go outside all's left is Blaster Forum. I've read just about all I can. Started from the last page of different subjects and read backwards looking for answers. Here's what I have: 1993 Blaster poor compression but still runs pretty...

    My problems as they occured

    I know the bike needs rings, it rolls in first gear, easy to kick over. I have carb issues. It starts real easy but it has to be on half choke for at least 20 minutes - rides fine - then it's high idle. Take the choke off it bogs, stalls, dies, spits, but there are the moments when it is...

    The learning curve...

    She told me to cut the grass and I did. Then I found a wild hare... Didn't wanna run over the little fella with the mower. This was one out of three. I believe it was the runt. Kept the little fella long enough for my wife to see/hold when she got home from work She turned it loose...

    On topic

    Boy oh boy! When I said I had to learn how ride...that was no sh*t. This ain't easy! Clutch, gas, brake, other brake! Geeze. I am learning indeed. It's a "how to" from the forum. My hands are apparently using muscles they haven't used before! Made about 4 laps around the house, managed...

    who watches...

    HOUSE? Okay, this is screwed up, sorry. 3 Years ago my neighbor came over to talk to me. He ended up glued to the TV watching a TV show that I assumed was another "reality" BS show that came on after American Idol. I have since become addicted to this show! I have purchased all of the...

    Ford HD

    As in heavy duty truck. Say 600 series and up. Dump truck/flat bed. If anybody has one or know somebody that has one...I have a 370 w/ 5spd. I bought this to put in my F350. I have since found a hobby that is better suited and more rewarding than bullshit trucks. I know what I paid for...

    At the end of the day...

    I took a vacation day today. I'm reading backwards on the forum so I don't ask questions that have been answered 1000 times over. The only place I have to ride my Blaster right now is my yard. Not exactly the biggest the place but at least I can play. I know the compression is almost shot...

    Off brand-

    I always hated to see off brand makes mentioned on a brand specific forum but... I want a 85/86 Honda ATC 250R! I've always wanted one, I intend to get one, and my wife gave me permission to get one next tax return. Love the videos on youtube and they seem to be pretty hard to beat. I...

    Now, I don't like to whine

    but I have spent the weekend obsessing about Monday morning at work. I have a supervisor that is constantly riding me. Well, it depends on who's around, but for the most part. He likes to show off when others are around and I am always the target. Ever since he got his son hired part time...

    Matching color was an accident. Don't really like prurple but right price, right time on both vehicles

    New as I can be

    Not only to the forum but Blasters too. I just bought a '93 Blaster Thursday. $500 and it runs but problems here and there. This is actually the first atv I've ever owned. Ridden several, had a CR125 in the late 90's but not worth any details. I bought this because I was invited to...
