We all love the Summer months, especially when there is plenty of warm perfect weather. Many parents like myself think of Summer as a love hate relationship. There Summer months by far is my favorite season, especially when the time is spent with your family and friends.  With everything there comes a cost.

With the kids out of school, and extra time for curricular activity. Keeping your kids involved during the times you’re at work during the Summer months is an added expense not many families realize, until it becomes time to get back to school; realizing you have drained your bank account to finance the Summer festivities.  School supplies and new school clothes is a much needed necessity for the upcoming school year.

Just because your kids are out of school doesn’t mean, your your job halts too.  I tend to find the Summer months a bit stressful in the beginning as I make future arrangements for the 3 months ahead starting in May. I usually budget out what we need and/or where we plan on going during the kid’s time off. My wife and I account for daycare (if needed), extra-curricular activities such as Karate, school supplies for the next school year and new school clothes. A lot to do when you have 3 kids and 1 one the way!  My 2 oldest, who normally is in school during the school year now has a large void of the day that needs to be filled.  Sometimes tricky when you’re on a budget and still need to keep the day job.  All in all, I value the Summer months I spend with my family much more knowing the work that is involved to make a memorable time for my family and I.

Having an RZR I know of the crank problems they have. If you jump them or do any type of engine mods to them the cranks do not last.  You can buy another crank but you will end up with the same problem.  These cranks are not designed to hold up if you run them with any extra modifications.  We ran NOS and jumped it a few times.  I think the combination of the two bent the crankshaft.  A guy I know Dave Moore ended up tearing the whole motor apart to inspect it.  He studied the design of the motor and saw the flaw the have in it.

We have since rebuilt the motor with high compression pistons, different cam grind, larger valves and other mods.  The crank has been trued and welded.  Dave has done a custom modification that should keep the crank from bending.  So far the engine is putting out around 60 h.p. and the crank is holding up. I believe Dave has fixed the crank issue we have had on the RZR.  This is a modification that all RZR owners should do to keep the crank in place.

If you are one who likes to shop a local mall is a great place to pick something up quick but if you are looking for the best deals and a specialty item them nothing beats online shopping.  Now with the power of the Internet at your hands finding a specialty item for a gift can be so easy.  I was looking for a gift idea for a golfer the other day and could not really find anything in my local town but went online and found so many shops offering golf gifts.  It really does not matter if you are looking for a pair of sunglasses or a gift basket full of different items you can find it online.

Beware shopping online can be very addictive because it is so easy to find things.  My mother was one who used to wait for the mail to get shopping magazines and what not but now with the internet at her hands it is very bad on the pocket book.  Buying things is so easy just going to google and doing an Internet search for the item you are wanting then in a few days it is delivered to your door.  Shipping is really not a big deal with UPS, FedEx and USPS the package can be delivered in a few days.

At times it can be very hard to find that perfect gift with so many different things to consider.  If you are one who does not like going to the shopping mall then shopping online might be the solution for you.  With so many companies now being online you have so many choices.  Many times you can find websites that will give you ideas for different presents whether it is for him or her many places will have suggestions.  Maybe that present needs to be for one who is a golfer or a person who takes vacations.  You can that perfect gift for just about any one.

I know a car would not be a normal gift idea for most people but you can find such great deals online.  Many sites offer true invoice prices on cars.  It is amazing what you can find.  It is no fun trying to buy a car from a car dealer so using the internet to get true invoice pricing will give you a better idea before you go buy one.  You can even find dealers who have Internet pricing and this can save you a lot of time and hassles.  Why go in person face to face when you can shop dealers right online.

If you are in to golfing now is the time to do it.  Here is Oregon the weather is perfect so get outside and enjoy yourself!  The sun is bright so make sure to take your sunglasses.  Once I forgot them and had to go back home to get them.  I grabbed my polarized sunglasses these seem to work the best.  I have found many online companies that offer golf gifts and have bought some cool looking sunglasses from them.  Today I am sure there will be a few people golfing but I will take it easy and enjoy myself.

After a good game of golf I like to go out to eat with my friend an socialize talking about the good old times we have had.  It is nice to sit back and relax around my friends.  We all have to enjoy life while we can because it goes by so fast.  My wifes idea is to shop till you drop this is not so good on the pocket book.  I try to keep her away from the computer.

When I was younger I saw myself as a partying dare devil who loved to have fun and ride. I was like any typical male, full of testosterone and fearless to almost anything. I loved to ride and push my limits. I rode anything that went fast; streetbikes, watercrafts and quads.

I lived like I swam daily in the fountain of youth . I always thought that I would never grow up and I would continue my Evil Knievel lifestyle. Little did I know that age and wisdom can catch up to you at anytime in life. After 11 years of riding street and 20 years of riding dirt, I had an epiphany. I’m crazy!

I started thinking about all of the things that can happen to me and affect my family. Is it worth it to my family? I soon realized that I have other people to think about other than myself. Its funny how we change throughout life and take in what life throws at us. I never would have thought. Growing up and the realization of what you didn’t see when you’re younger is a big step in life. Will I completely eliminate my passion, absolutely NOT; I will be more cautious in the decisions I make. Instead of a jumping that triple how about the double instead.

Many weddings are going on right now this is the perfect time of year for an outdoor one. Many times it is very hard to know what to get people for a gift but with the help of sites like this it can be much easier. Have you seen the personalized gifts you can get now days shopping online? It is so much easier to sit in front of your computer than going to the store. I love it. Why spend countless hours driving to a shopping mall and maybe leave empty handed when you can do it online so much easier.

I have seen photo booths at weddings before that really caught my eye. I have looked for people offering these for rent. They don’t seem to be cheap but look like a lot of fun for the guests. It really depends how much money you are welling to spend on your wedding. Sure it may cost thousands but it is a life time of memories that will last you for ever.

Don’t forget about the nice honeymoon this is the fun part. Maybe you are going to Hawaii or some other special place this would be so much fun. You can also find this online and find some great deals looking at different travel sites.

It has been several weeks since we have been to the coast to ride our ATV’s.  The weather is now so nice that I wish we were out on the Dunes.  Maybe soon we will be able to go back.

Currently our Atv’s are not working but are hopefully going to be back together again soon.  The sooner the better because this weather never lasts long!  Here in Oregon the weather can change over night so fast.  One day nice and sunny the next day it is cloudy and raining.  I guess this is the price we pay living in Oregon where it is green all the time.

I am having a new swingarm built for my banshee this should be completed in the next few days I am excited to see what it looks like.

Have you seen the new dodge challenger it looks pretty cool. A friend of mine got the SRT that is putting out 425 HP wow!  This thing is awesome it is a real head turner.  This car really brings back the style from the 70’s and people really love it.  With 425 HP it really moves fast.  From an idle you really don’t hear the engine to much but when you step on it you really hear it wake up.  The engine comes to life and the pipes sound great.  This engine winds out pretty good to.  If you are in to cars you had better check one of these out!

So if you decide to get one what color do you go with?  We’ll this is the tough part because most colors look so good on this car.  I have seen a black one and this look great but I would worry about keeping the car clean all the time, black is such a hard color to keep up on.  If you are on the wild side you might consider the original orange color this looks great.  So it is up to you what color do you think?

You know around here we see so much rain so this time of year when the sun is out is very special to us.  What a nice way to enjoy the out doors going for a motorcycle ride.  The air if fresh and clean and riding towards the beach can be so much fun.  If you go riding on a week day not so many people are out and about because they are at work.  It is also much safer to ride during the week because of the fewer people on the road. Safety should always be taken as  a major concern when riding a motorcycle.

You know Harley Davidson motorcycles are very load for a reason to keep others around them aware of them.  Sure a Harley has a definite sound to them but this is for good reason.  So many Americans are used to the good old sounds of a Harley many of the Japanese companies are trying to follow there foot steps.  But one thing is for sure nothing compares to a Harley for the sound!
