We gave this Christini all-wheel-drive bike a favorable review in its test (November ’07). Since then we’ve seen these drives shine at extreme events (EnduroCross Series, Last Man Standing), but we wanted to see how it would hold up in
You know the old saying, “When opportunity knocks, answer it”? I was recently provided with one of those moments-the chance to ride Gavin Gracyk’s 2007 Honda CRF450R on the MXoN track at Budds Creek the day after the race. Having
You read about the WR’s stellar performance in the DR 24-Hour (May ’07), and since it’s been inducted into our Long Haul fleet (July ’07), the blue bike keeps on giving. One 24-Hour wasn’t enough, so we gave it another…and

PowerSeal USACylinder Repair I got a free bike. Yep, but the 1989 CR125R’s cylinder was thrashed from a broken piston. I chose the repair and replating route with PowerSeal USA. All I had to do was buy a new stock

Powersport GrafxPreprinted Number Plate Backgrounds We go through a lot of number plate backgrounds, and personally, I hate applying them. But my past few experiences with PG backgrounds have been relatively painless. Even on the tricky CRF250R and its dual
MotorexPower CleanDude! This stuff cuts grease better than Palmolive on three-day-old lasagna. Spray-spray and voila!-pipe scum wipes away without streaking. Squirt-squirt and baked-on dirt comes off of cases. Old sticker and graphic gum on number plates can’t even stop this
PC RacingFLO X Air Filter System Cleaning air filters is the dirty job we all hate to do. And if a company can make the terrible chore easier, we’re definitely buying. Well, PC Racing has been sort of a pioneer
