Riding in a sandbox







Sunday was bike fix-it day. I should have changed the fluids and done the maintenance on the Reflex before I took the first ride of the season but whatever; it got done and I still averaged 62.5 mpg on the last tank. Next up were the busted chain and the wacky carb settings left over from last season on the little guy's JR50 dirt bike. It took only about 12 kicks before it sputtered to life after sitting through the whole winter; not bad for an old kid-beaten two-stroke.

Later that afternoon we took the dirt bike out. Too bad the wind kicked up bad turning the little guy's first season visit to the Kincaid MX park into a ride through a bad Sahara sand storm. Maybe it's just early training for the Paris-Dakar rally.
