Cool, I wish i could have an ATV but i don't have the room to run one where i live but i had this when i was 7.

A 2 stroke kid sized dirt bike back in 2007 unfortunately i didn't run it much also this was with my Grandad. He and my Granny live with me nowadays.

I lucked out. Used to ride the 450s around the block and the back ways to the construction site. One time we road the main road and sidewalks to the stunt spot. Had a cheap yerfdod 90 atv, motorized bicycle, a 600rr and an r6. Icing on the cake a banshee with a gixxer 750 motor roasting tires along the way. A few times the police would drive by and turn around and stare at my house. this was 2007 to 2010.

I get better financially, I see an atv, 450 or 500cc dirtbike and a street bike or stunt bike. I miss riding and roasting my nuts.

600rr

I had an 06. Loved that bike. Sold it when I moved down here. I do miss it, but I no way at this point in life I would get back on a bike on the street.

I could go for a track day though. I lived near road America at the time

The 600rr and r6 were both 06's. Group of mmi students. Driving around here in a 7000IBS truck i feel the same way. On the other hand I miss the sound and feeling.

If i go honda...... I've always wanted an 05 repsol.

Bought this cheap desk light from Amazon.
My eyes seem to need more light these days to see detail. It's for when I'm working at the workbench and for taking photos for build threads.

I use a similar light but mine is a stick of leds instead of the ring.
3 brightness and color temp setting.
It was a killer price too!

The goose neck is geat for putting light right where you need it and leaving both hands free to get work done.
Nice score on this lamp! I believe you will love this one!!!

The lighting in my shed is poor and a mix of different lamps I had laying around.

I still need more lighting around my work area too. The bench is lit up ok but am in the dark otherwise. Finding a dropped set screw can be an all-day affair!

I found my goose neck light for a really good price.

I used to use 'Littlelite' goosenecks decades ago ( also awesome) so when I saw this, I didn't hesitate for a second!

I have some led tape lights I was thinking about trying to set up for the perimeter but I haven't worked it all out yet.

I use a head torch too. Highly recommended.

I've dropped these E-clips so many times while working on the Nitro Sport. Each time I was surprised I actually found it.

They fly across the room and get stuck in the drywall!
I use superlube on my fingers to keep from dropping, misplacing, accidently flinging...
E clips might be my LEAST favorite part of this hobby!

It's a good thing they are not black. At least the chrome reflects to help me find it.

I should start painting them orange and selling them for profit!

I do have a Super Clodbuster planned the Black edition one if i can get one this summer. I've thought of taking a break getting my new radio until they've come back in stock.

It would be smart to stop and save up for that.
Its pretty expensive!
The Clod sounds like a fun build!!!
