The content of my bag was entirely dictated by the destination, a visit to my parents. For the ride, my usual, jeans and boots and a jacket. Work clothes so I could be helpful around the yard and add a decent outfit since we enjoyed going out for pizza or for the Pennsylvania Dutch cooking, always a part of their Lancaster County retirement life. I’d made the trip many times…
Miller Diversion 180 AC DC TIG Welder Review
A few months ago we made the decision to upgrade the EDM shops’ welding system from an oxyacetylene torch to a TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welder. For the past 6 years all necessary welding has been done with the oxyacetylene system. While OA is suitable for many situations, we feel it doesn’t offer the ease of use and kind of control a TIG system can provide and moving to the…
Risk Racing Adjustable Dirt Bike Stand
The chassis for every dirt bike brand, year, and model is designed a little differently, and as a result, not all bikes sit level on a traditional dirt bike stand.

Reality Check
How many times have you wanted something but couldn’t quite bring everything together to make it happen? Somehow, some way the timing was just, off. It could be either not enough funds or not enough time. Or maybe it’s something as random as the planets are not in alignment. Whatever it is, the gears just aren’t meshing. I was talking with a friend of mine the other day and he…
KX 125 Re-Build – The Ugly Duckling
In our August / September issue of Eastern Dirt Magazine we showed you how anyone can get into Off-Road with a relatively small investment. For the small sum of $1500.00 we bought a bike and gear. From AXO we bought a helmet, boots, gloves, jersey, and pants. We also purchased a ramp, gas can, tie-downs and an owner’s manual on what seems an impossibly small budget in today’s motorcycle…
