I must have some of the best luck! Or maybe it 
is just the universe balancing out for all the 
time I spent in hand cuffs before DIRTBIKES 
saved my life. Anyhoo last Wednesday my buddy 
Campo who runs Meta magazine came in my shop 
and said he could get me a spot in the 125 dream 
race at Thundervalley. I am not worthy but my 2003 
Amsoil Factory Connection Chris Gosselaar former pro 
number 39 bike knows a pro prepped track.  I was planning 
on taking it easy before pikes peak to not risk injury. 
That plan fucked right off. Saturday found me in the 
middle of a full 40 bike gate in the middle of a national 
motocross. The sound of 40 125 two strokes had me shredding 
into the first corner with both raging goose bumps 
and a big ol' pre-mix boner.
Thanks to Aaron Sauerbrey for the pictures!

BOTTPOWER flew me out to Spain for a week of testing 
the pikes peak bike. It is a mental machine! 
It is currently all crated up and on its way to my shop. 
First practice up on the mountain is next weekend.

Here are some pics from this years Barstow ride. My XS snapped another mono shock on the first day so I bought the first thing I saw on craigslist; A 1972 TC125 with enough rust in the tank to give the Tin Man a mean case of constipation. A few (six) trail side fuel system flushes the little fucker made it all the way to Vegas.

Howdy!
What a fun summer it has been. Jam packed with throttle twisting action! The Colorado 400 was nothing short of a damn great time, I won a supermoto, I have done some gnarly battles on the Indian for Roland Sands, and last week I got my XS on the pro vintage twins class during the I-70 flattrack series. After the last race in Stockton I drove through the nite to sturgis and won the vintage class at the Buffalo Chip. The next day I went home for a night to hug my wife and switch bikes. I rode my pikes peak winner in an all dirt 6 mile hill climb in grand junction colorado up the grand Mesa. It was like an old pikes peak and was the most fun racing I have done in a while!
I broke the motorcycle record by 20 seconds. If you like dirt bikes and road racing then go to The Lands End hill climb next year!!!
Braaap!
