New Motorcycle Weekend

Got me a great looking 2002 KLR with 1160 miles on her this Friday. I really like those KLR's they seem to fit my motorcycle needs great. I always said if I had to have just one bike it would be the KLR but in the same hand if I had to get rid of just one bike it would be the KLR. You have to be a rider with multiple bikes to understand that statement.

     I also went Canoeing with Jessica,Dan and Mike it was a lot of fun. I enjoy going out on the canoe with my kids. Mike was in a Kayak them things look like a lot of fun maybe I'll get one of those some day. Check out the planet of the apes head being used as a canoe hood ornament.

Dan had a race on Sunday in Millville, NJ his bike was starting first kick that day of the race. Then the flag drops and it's race time and of course the bike takes 5 kicks. That puts Dan in last place going into the first turn. He made a great come back and finished 6th out of 28 riders. It was a fun day Sherrie,Jessica, Carrieann,Mike and myself all attended the race he had quit the entourage.

3 day weekend

Labor Day weekend the unofficial end of the summer was pretty cool. Saturday was spent "Nesting" Yea I'm getting a nice used KLR650 with only 1161 miles on the odometer. So I spent the first day of the weekend preparing my garage for the new MACHINE.

     Sunday was a great trip to Zarco Lakes in Manchester. Tony Dan and myself rode dirt bikes over there and it was a good trip. I undressed out of my riding gear and went swimming when we first arrived. Then we kind of raced around the outer banks. That was fun you have sand to your left and certain doom to your right.

   Monday was beach family day Gene, Mason,Annmarie,James,Dan, Jessica, Sherrie and Myself all headed to Island beach state park for the day. My family always enjoyed the beach and I'm just starting rediscover the joy of a beach day.
     

MOTO-338

Me and Dan picked up Dylan and headed up to Southwick Mass.to watch the motocross national at Moto-338. We had a great time the whole trip was cool. The high lites where getting a great picture with The Man Mr. Rodger DeCoster.

another was when Dan and Dylan got into the VIP tent where there was free food and soda. I went back to the car for something and Dan calls me laughing telling me he's in this tent. Then he goes up to the security and asks if he can have a pass for his Dad who just drove in from Ohio. So there we are eating like kings

Not only does the kid sneak in he gets a pass for his Dad got to love that kid.

The racing was good it's always better to watch a race on television but it's the atmosphere of hanging out with your own kind that's fun. All in all the weekend was a blast and you can check out all the pictures HERE Ow yea after the race we drove to Karen's house where Sherrie Jessica and her friend Carrie was already there and we hung out over her house till the morning.

Jack's house

Went down with Dan,Joe and Patrick to John's house in the Villas. We drank and swam into the wee hours. The drive down was fun also we drove all the back roads and stopped and had lunch. It was a fun trip of course I took alot of picture you can look at them HERE

Joe goes dual sporting

Click on the picture for the link

Yea Joe went out with me and Tony duel sporting this weekend. I told him it was a old man run and it would be a great break in time for him to take out the XR650L. I had to take it easy on him look at the dirt riding gear the man sports. Stupid harley binnie type helmet, short sleeve shirt. We had a blast out there keeping it pretty mellow by not going down to many tight trails. It was a fun ride and we all enjoyed ourselves and that my friend is what life's all about.

Fun Without Motorcycles

All the beautiful people

Littles and Bigs

The machine

Mr. Clyde and Miss Beatrice

I don't know if it's because I'm getting old and tired but sometimes getting geared up to go dirt bike riding is just to much of a hassle. Maybe it's because it's been hot out but I feel like I've been doing a lot less dirt biking lately. So anyway Saturday was the Bopp girl party. WOW what a blast I really had a good time and all their friends seem to be nice kids. I say kids but they're really young adults who are out protecting our country teaching our children and all sorts of jobs. A nice bunch of Kids. Then Sunday morning I woke up and took Jessica, Dan and the dogs out to one of the cedar streams and hung out and swam in the cool water like real pineys. Then me and Dan visited Nanny then we went to Turkey swamp and rented a paddle boat. I had a fun weekend and didn't go riding at all. (Imagine That) As usual I took many photos

Fishing Jef's party and Karens

Fishing

Hanging with friends

                                                                                                                                                                             Friday night and in to the wee hours of Saturday was spent fishing from the party boat Miss Belmar. Sat we went to Jef Stile’s Party. It was cool they had a band this year and it was fun. I Seen John McGacken and Russel Taylor two old high school friends so that was a unexpected surprise. Then me and Sherrie drove up to Karen’s house to get completely smashed hanging out by the pool. Sunday we drove home and went to Dan’s baseball picnic. That was cool because James and Mason where also ball players this year so I had some cool photo opportunities with my favorite boys. So that was the fun filled weekend and that’s why there is such a arrangement of photo's

and that concludes todays activities

Hooky Monday

     Me and the boys played hooky Monday and took off to Bucks County PA for a relaxing motorcycle ride. Myself on my ZRX1200 Joe (my Brother) on a big Harley maybe a fat boy. Joe Price on a ZZR 1200 Tony Vasta on a Ducati Monster 1100 Matt on a new Harley and Kenny on a older sportster and Mike Cannon on a shiny yamaha Warrior. All those different motorcycle and whose bike breaks down. Yes, yours truly MINE. It really was no big deal Matt my graduate from The Nigger Rig University taped, zip tied, and duck taped her back together so I could ride  home. It was a great trip all in all and cool to be out with good friends who are all easy people to get along with.  I took a lot of pictures check them out or look at the movie I made here on youtube

Karen's House

Took a ride up to Karen's house this weekend. I had the whole afternoon to get up there so I took my bike threw buck's county PA just cruised up the delaware then headed east to fairlawn. It was the long way there but that's just what I needed a nice mellow ride by myself. It was cool till I got lost in Paterson what a peice of shit of a town that is. Karen's party was fun as hell I always have a good time up there. Check out the pictures

A thursday After Work Ride

Went riding after work yesterday, Dylan was down and him and Dan where just about to go out when I pulled up. So I switched bikes and helmets and took off with the boys. I always seem to have fun riding with Dylan. You can look at all the video's and pictures here .

Berkshire Race

Spent the weekend camping and going to Dan's race in Berkshire NY, It was a fun trip Rod rode up with us and Matt came late after work. Showing up at 4am in the morning to race just a few hours later ( Youth is a wonderful thing) Dan had a terrible start but, was showing great progress in lap 1. He checked in at 5th place on the first lap passing at least 10 people. That was pretty much the hi-light of the race as things shortly deteriorated from there. A pile up on a hill and a wicked crash that broke his camera off his helmet and damaging his visor was the ending hope for a great result. He managed to pass a couple of people to salvage a 9th place finish for the day.
Rod faring much better scored a 2nd on his race letting that ever elusive first place finish slip by. He practically had a hole shot in the start and was first in lap one. Me and Dan where hopeful for a first place finish for Rod until he was passed in the second lap.
Matt ran strong all day not allowing rod to pass him through most of the race. (Note Rod's class starts 1 minute behind Matt's class) Quite an accomplishment considering he was passed in lap one of the last and inaugural race for Matt. He is young and keeps getting faster I'm sure he'll be kicking every one's ass soon. He finished 10th over some serious looking competition. Check out the pictures from the weekend or look at the video

Canoeing How the hell do you spell Canoe(ing)

Jessica Dan and Myself went out canoeing this Saturday morning. I love going out with just them two. We had a great time laughing and relaxing down the stream. Dan found a camera in the river we dried it out and have our fingers crossed it will still work.

Boyle's at the SHORRRE

Sherrie won some tickets for the water park in Seaside. We took both our kids and our nephews Mason and James. We had a blast check out the pictures

The Big Podium Challenge

It was a long weekend because I took Friday off. Me and Dan spent Friday turning a wrench on his bike preparing it for Sunday's race. We changed the chain, sprockets, and handle bars, Going top of the line on everything. Saturday we left at 10:30 am for a 6 hour drive. 9 hours later we arrive at the place I tend not to travel fast. I jumped off the Penn Turnpike to get lost in Amish country for a few hours. Later in the night Matt and Kenny show up. We camped,ate, and drink a few then crash out for the night under a full sky of stars. 3:30 in the morning the rain hits and hits hard for about 30 minutes. Always an adventure when going to these races. Sunday's race was nail biting to say the least. Dan captured 3rd with some position swapping right down to the white flag where he seemed to pour it on and came away with a podium finish. Next race Matt and Kenny where up and it seemed like a fun event for them. Me and Dan where standing in as pit crew when on lap 2 they come screaming by with just 2 seconds apart.It was a  Great weekend to say the least.

The Dance

Jessica had her Recital this weekend.That was really nice the whole show was great and she was wonderful on her two dances. Sunday I went out riding then a party with all my brothers friends for his surpise birthday party. That was really fun I had a great time riding with all the Harley dudes and got to see some old friends at the party. The whole weekend was a lot of fun. Mike Conner threw the ride and the party together and did a great job.

Weekend 6-13-2010

I didn't take any pictures this weekend. Saturday Dan had a double header playing baseball. Me and Rod took the dirt bikes through the wood over to the ball park to see him. I rode the YZ and she ran great except my leg was getting hot from the exaust. When Dan came home in a pissy mood because he lost his second game we went out and rode again. I felt bike rich because now I was on the Husky. We had a good time riding for a couple of hours nothing real big it was late and Dan was tired like I said he did a double header. Sunday we went to the Monmouth Track to bet on the ponies. It was fun but it was a lossing day for sure. No big hits just a lot of " Missed by a Nose"

The trip has been delayed

Yea I haven't been doing much dirt bike riding lately. See I was kind of taking it easy because I had a big smokie mountain trip lined up and didn't want to get hurt and ruin the vacation. So I have been hanging home doing some yard work hanging out with sherrie. Tony wasn't affraid here's the video of him screwing up our vacation. It's all good could of happened to anyone. We got a rain check

Clifford PA NEOC Race

Good racing up in Pennsylvania this weekend we went to round 5 of the NEOC in Clifford PA. All the boys raced except me of course. Danny raced first and did quite well but in the pits he commented how tough the race was. I can't ever remember him saying that about a race. I knew then Mat and Kenny where in for a thrilla in manila. Rod on the other hand was a old salt and would surely do well.


Off Matt and Kenny go. Kenny was in a small lead at the start but over a jump in the first table top Matt comes sailing along side. Front wheel to high in the air. I'm thinking this dude is gonna kill himself out there. Matt comes around to the pits looking beat up. Later Kenny come through announcing he has had enough and bows out. Rod comes through looking like he's out for a Sunday trail ride. Me and Dan made a video of the race check it out HERE

Riding with Grasshopper

Dan and I took James out riding this week it was a lot of fun and he did great.We went to Ronnie and Spunky's house out in Jackson. We put him on the XR80 it was his first time using a clutch and it was easy going after the first stall. The picture on the top of the page says it all about how much fun it was having James around. He still thinks your just being nice when you stop and wait for him. Even if your back tire is pointing a sloppy mud puddle in his direction. Check out the slide show Danny did great on the jumps.

Snow Race

Dan raced up North (By Binghamton) it snowed all night. Rod went up with us but did not race something about his bike being afraid of the snow. Pictures

Out Riding Again

Went out riding this weekend twice. I was trying to hang home and do some chores but Mat called and wanted to go out on Saturday.  I had the Husky apart to put the duel sport kit on so I took out the YZ but I was wishing I had the husky because I was getting my ass kicked out there. So Sunday rolls around and I think I'm ready. (Well kind of ready) Mat had me up drinking a few beers the night before. ( I bet he kept me up on purpose). The Husky is running great and Rod and Dan are there also.(In my mind I'm going to rip up the ground so bad it's going to put the earth on a new axis. Well it was not to be I rode like crap and got eaten up all day long by the two young boys. At least Rod was having a little trouble with his bike and was having a little mercy on my ass and waited up for me on numerous occasions. Shit maybe I should take up a older mans pass time. Na There's always next weekend. Got a couple of shots of Mat trying to run me over. Check them out here

Dan's Race

Dan had a baseball game and a race this weekend.
Hell my weekend was all about Dan.

Another one

Look at the damn camera

Kind of a cool weekend. Went out riding the dirt bikes on friday after work. That is the best way of making sure your going to get the most out of your weekend is by doing something on Friday night. Saturday was opening day at the baseball feild. Dan, James, and Mason all had games. Sunday was all about the ride. Attendence was Dan, Myself, Tony, Rod and Doug a new guy from my job who wanted to go out riding with us. He crashed a couple of times early in the game and decided to call it quits. Another newbie bites the dust. (giggle giggle). Any way check out the Pictures fron the weekend and the video

The first ever "Dirt Bike Tuesday"

Tony and I went out for our first ever Dirt Bike Tuesday trip. I read something On Joey Tremble's face book page that said "Don't count the days make the days count" So that is how Dirt Bike Tuesday was created. Dan decided to Miss D.B.T. because he was too tired. So he stayed home and did house work. (Go figure).

Longboard and Easter

Me and Jessica bought a longboard this weekend. Sherrie freaked out and was mad that I spent over a hundred on a skate board. What's is she going to do take the american express card away?:)Then later in the day me and Rod went out riding. Sunday was Easter and my birthday. This day was spent at seaside with my wife, kids and Mom it was fun day. Then later on the Bopps came over and we just chilled on the deck drinking margaritas. Check our this link it's of the dog on easter, make sure you turn up the volume or you won't be able to hear me.

Dan's race 3-28-2010

Dan had a race in Millville NJ this weekend. We went and camped there Saturday wow was it cold. I slept in the tent and Dan went in the truck. (Whimp) He got 8th out of 23 riders which was OK he was happy at the way he rode and that's the main thing. Happy and Fun that's what life is all about. Rod raced also I made a little video for Tina that is hereDan's raceHere

Ride all weekend

Great weekend for riding. The first time it was nice in a long time so we totally took advantage and rode Saturday and Sunday. Sunday is definitely the day worth mentioning. Everyone seemed to be able to get out this Sunday. Tony even brought his roommate Garret who from what I understand is quite the road racer. He said he hasn't been dirt bike riding for 20 years. Looked more like 30 to me HEHEHE Actually he was doing pretty good we didn't have to wait up for him no worse then Tony or myself on a bad day. Anyway he did good for the first half a lap then had a get off. Came rolling up with blood all over the nose. Looked pretty painful but the important thing was my YZ was not hurt. You see noses don't cost Jay no money.

Then not to be out done Matt takes a pretty good fall later on in the day. The best part about this crash was Danny was right behind him filming with the Gopro. I made a little video of the day check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcSLZnDdF6YSee ya next weekend.

Repair Repair 3-6-10

Put new brakes in Jessica's car. Installed a new freeze out plug in the jeep. Got the YZ running good ( Bad Spark Plug) Figured out why the Husky was breaking up at high revs(Spark plug cap)
Me and Dan went out riding Saturday and I was being a little bitch. The Husky was running like crap I had the GO Pro on and it was getting stuck on branches. The snow was making me slid out all over the place. So when the boys came over Sunday to ride I elected to skip. Something I did notice. That I didn't have to ask the guys if Dan could go out with them. He just suited up and went. He's one of the boys now not someone who has to be taken care of. A little video of the Saturdays ride http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN2x_WcOArs

Harlem Globetrotters

I was telling Sherrie that I wanted to go see the Harlem Globetrotters and the next morning my cousin Annette asked people on face book if they wanted tickets. So of course I said I would like them It was a fun show I took James and Danny we had a good time. Ow yea on the way out James is hinting that he wants a 25dollar basketball. Ow great I think, Then I look over and Danny is talking to the main globetrotter. High-lite was his name the guy hands Danny his sweat band off his wrist. Danny gives it to James and all was happy. That Boy Danny is just lucky like that. Thanks Annette for the tickets it was really nice of you.

Gopro snowballs

All the stars lined up perfect Saturday night. Sherrie was working, Supercross was a live broadcast, It was televised early enough to watch. So I invited all the boys who ride over for to watch the race and drink some beers. It was cool Mat, Kenny,Rod,Tony, Dan, and Dan's friend Dane and myself all hung out.
Woke up Sunday Me, James and Dan took all the dogs out for a walk. Then Mom took us all out for dinner at Holihans in Lakewood. Joe,Patric and My family it was nice and everyone had a good time. Thanks MOM. Check out the Link for pictures and Video. I like the video in the begging where Dylan and Dan are on the scooters and the young boys down the road (James and the Gang) are throwing snow ball at us.
