How do you like it? I'm partial to Hondas myself.. I'm getting a CR125R, and my dad and brother are each getting moto X bikes too. then I may possibly get an F4i in a year or two.

A CR125 that should rip. I'm really a Yamaha guy and bought the Zx6RR cause I got a steal on it. It is really the only bike I would have bought other than Yamaha R6, YZF600, or FZ6. That CR125 should rip. I would like to get a YZ125 or a YZ250 2 stroke. Would be fun but I think where I ride at TowerCity a 4 stroke is actaully more practical for trail riding. I also like the KTM stuff for dirtbikes as well. They make some pretty hot bikes and are really starting to get some good finishes in stuff other than enduro racing.

I don't own a sportbike, I know they can be kind of uncomfortable for longer ride but we do own a 98 Harley Sportster 883, I ride it sometimes, I don't really like it that much, it's comfortable though. we're selling it to help buy the dirtbikes/trailer/gear/etc.

Not sure why the Ofna 12th scale arbor sucks, but I have read on several forums where people had issues with them.
I wonder if the guy
that you borrow the ofna truer from is the same guy that you forgot to get 40's for!

Sounds awesome, we'll have to check it out in a few months when we get the bikes. Do you have AIM? PM with your screen name, I want to talk to you about Doc and RCO.

Rob: Where did you get your Hudy Universal from? Is it the automatic or the manual feed?

I bought mine from MUFFIN here on rctech, I had been searching for months. There's one on ebay now, 110V, with 2 arbors, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=34063 that's what I bought, the manual crank one, I don't really need an auto, I'm not that lazy but theres 2 auto ones up on ebay too.
but theres 2 auto ones up on ebay too.

instead of buying a tire truer, could i just use a wood or metal lathe, i have much easier acsess to them, and can get it done during school, a big plus.

Yeah, we have those at my school too. We have a 2 plane mill and a metal lathe and 2 wood lathes, but I figured it would be worthwhile to have my own little lathe to carry around and use whenever I need it. You could probably use them, as long as an arbor would fit onto the shaft, and some kind of cutting tool went along the X axis.
