New Supermoto Bike

Last week I sold my beloved 2004 KTM 625 SMC to another board member on SuperMotoJunkie.com; this is now the 3rd board member to own this bike as that's where I bought it as well... To replace this bike I've purchased a brand new 2006 KTM 560 SMR. Out of the box this bike is not street, but I'm currently in the process of doing the needed mods to make it so. I currently have zero time on this bike, but I can already confirm that this thing kicks some serious ass...

My New Truck (Ford F250 Supercab XLT)

So a few weeks ago I told a friend to look for a new truck for me. I was looking for a 4 door Ford or Chevy, 1/2 or 3/4 ton truck. I was really hoping for a crew cab, but damn are those expensive.

Last week sometime I got a truck and committed to it. Since then I've been trying to get a bloody picture of the thing. My friend doesn't do email and my mom can't remember to bring a Camera when she goes to drop of some paperwork. Finally my sister who fly's from California is able to spare a few moments of her time and snap a few pictures.So my new truck is a 2002 Ford F250 XLT SD SuperCab (4dr) V8 Triton (5.4L). Its very red and came with 20" rims. They look way nicer than I thought they would. Trucks with big rims either look real nice, or really really bad. I even get the original rims so I can throw them on in the winter... The minus is, this trucks been lowered it appears. I won't really know what this means until I look at it. I should have known, the friend who got it for me likes Harleys :)

What happens when Russ babysits

So my friends Kim and Seamus had some things going on tonight and they asked me to watch their 3 kids: Emma, Aodhan and Lillian. But what happens when you drop off 3 kids at my house?Well beside playing Xbox and climbing on the indoor bouldering wall, they can run around in motorcycle helmets of course :) Once they saw an entire shelf of these and asked to put them on, I could barely get them to take them back off...
