Hi all. Wednesday’s surgery on the left shoulder seems to have gone well.

Hi all. I’m crazy-busy with work, plus I’m trying to tie up loose ends before Wednesday’s shoulder surgery. If I lag on posts, you’ll know why.

Braaap!

Hey Lee,

What about you writing a biography on Brian Lopes? And where’s that BMX book?

HELP

A friend has a RP3 with an eye to eye of 7.875” and a stroke of 2.25”. Will this work on a 2003 Specialized Enduro Expert?????

Thanks!

Hi all. I got the results of my shoulder MRIs, and I’m in store for two surgeries. The first is next Wednesday. My shoulders have been hurting for a long time, and it turns out there’s no prize for being tough.

Lee,
If you are a pro, can you deduct bike related stuff on your taxes? I always wondered what you could get away with.
Thanks.

Lee,
I am 39 years old, 5 foot 7 at 135 pounds and live in California (green/red sticker). I got a used little 1998 kx80 a year ago to see if I like dirt biking.

Of course I do, so now I need a bigger bike but a 125/250 seem too big for me. I can just barely tippy toe when sitting on one. I know people way smaller than me ride full size bikes and I should be on a full size bike, but I guess I am just intimidated by the size and power of the bike.

Do you think I should get a kx 100 or get the full size bike?
Brian
