How to improve my overall appearance?

admin — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 06:51:17 +0000

This is for a teenage guy. What are some things that I could do to improve my appearance? What kind of stuff do I need to bye? i.e. cologne, clothes suggestions, sunglasses, and anything else that might help. If it helps, I’m about 5′11" lean body, thin face, long curly hair that I usually wear a hat so it’ll flip out instead of being in curls, I have long legs, I play guitar, ride dirt bikes, and fish if that helps for clothing suggestions. Also, I’ll wear almost any kind of clothes as long as they’re not completely hideous or uncomfortable, so no skinny jeans.
Also, I was thinking about getting a pair of wallabees, low cut ones, but I don’t know which color to get.
I have acne mostly on my chin, jawbone (on sides) and forehead. How can I get rid of that?

You sound fine to me. Haha I <3 Fishing and riding fourwheelers and Dirtbikess.

My boyfriend is 17 years old and loves baseball. He’s pretty much obsessed with the Phillies. He also likes Fox clothing, but I already got him a bunch of Fox stuff last year and i’ve bought him two fox things this year. He drives a GMC and his favorite color is blue. He used to race dirt bikes, but quit that and now drag races. Any ideas?

You should check out the selection of guy gifts at SafetyAnyStyle.com They have a ton of gifts for guys – clothing, work-wear, sunglasses, other accessories. Maybe you will find something there. I got my brother this long sleeve Carhartt tee – http://www.safetyandstyle.com/melosllot.html Does he wear anything Carhartt? They even have some nice jackets and other shirts by Carhartt there.

Look around at that site, you may find something that suits his style and interests. They have a decent selection of items too!

Hope that helps!

Help choosing the right dirt bike gear?

admin — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 05:20:43 +0000

Im 15 years old and ive been saving up to purchase a honda crf 230f. I need help choosing the right gear for trail riding. I will be going out to trails at least once a week so i need durable gear but gear thats also fairly cheap.

Go to a large cycle store and try on a lot of different gear, find what fits good and is comfortable. Walk around in it a while, as you will be wearing it for hours on your bike. You may find some of last years closeouts, and ask for a discount for multiple purchases. You could go online to rocky mountain or other shops.GOOD LUCK, RIDE SAFE.

Can you buy dirt bike plastics online that already have graphics on them?

admin — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 17:29:20 +0000

I have a 2000 honda cr 125 and there are no graphics on it right now. I was wondering since my plastics are all scratched up if I can buy plastics with graphics already on them?

If not do i just buy new plastics and graphics?

IF so where can i find graphics?

thanks

Just purchase a new set of plastics and then a set of graphics and keep the old set as spares in case you split or damage one of the new plastics.

You can get graphics at heaps of sites online and any motorbike dealership will sell them. For different graphics have a look at this site

You may even decide to purchase different colour plastics as I am sure they the cr125 plastics come in black

Mom’s New boyfriend…? -This is long, I’m sorry..-?

admin — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 22:03:04 +0000

Okay, it’s a long story from the very beginning, so I’m just going to skip straight to… After the second divorce My Mom ended up having. We moved to an apartment, My Mom, My Little sister, and of course, Me. My Mom was and still is a teacher, so, We didn’t have a lot of money, but enough to for food, water, shelter, clothing, and sometimes a bit of fun. About a year later, She starts meeting up with guys online, trying out for different guys, and I guess I was a bit worried, but I didn’t mind so long as She was happy. She met a guy named Chris last November, and at first, I thought He was cool. I didn’t get to meet Him till… About 6 months later. But He was keeping My Mom happy, and that was what was important to Me, based on Her previous divorce. He lived about an hour away, and was I guess middle to high class on the Social level. He had His own house, His daughter, His room-mate, and all these high-tech stuff I guess. And every single day, school day or not, We’d have to drive out there just to see Him. I guess I was okay with that. I barely had time to finish My homework though, and I’m a 3.8-4.0 student, so homework was very important to Me. There were school breaks where We had about a week or two off, and We’d spend it there most of the time. The problems mostly started in Summer when I spent them with My Mom. I guess like a lot of people, I felt ignored. My Mom would spend all of Her time with Chris, and spent less and less time with My Little sister, as well as Me, but I didn’t care really. Chris has a daughter named Kaysie, who plays with Asia, My sister, a lot. At first, She got on every one of My nerves, from, crying about pointless things I did like setting up an account on Her Wii system for a game, to things like shutting doors in My face and talking back with everything I did. I talked to My Mom about this, but Chris would always jump into the conversations and tell Me to toughen up and ignore it, and so My Mom would agree. As Summer went on, We spent everyday there. I’m not so much of a huge eater, but like any normal human being, I DID get hungry. But whenever I asked for things, they’d get Me some canned fruit or cereal I didn’t even like. My Mom always cooked what She and Chris liked, while I had to cook whatever I knew how to cook, which was only Spaghetti. So that whole summer, all I ate was Spaghetti, Ice cream, Fruits, and Cereal. I’m a picky person I guess.
As time went on, My Mom started actually not paying any attention to what I said. Literally. I once, for some reason I’m still unknown to, had a huge stomach ache and head ache, and I felt cold and sick even though it was burning hot outside. I told Her over and over, but it was like She didn’t hear Me. Then She’d talk to Her boyfriend as if I didn’t say anything. I was frustrated, of course. And I would always come to Her to tell Her something, like what the kids were arguing about, what I did and felt proud of Myself for doing, but She’d pay no attention to what I said, and again, went to Her boyfriend. I always asked Her if We could go out to eat since there wasn’t anything to eat, and We’d just go to like, Cold Stone, the ice cream place, or She’d pick up some fast food, which I’m really against and She knew it. And then other nights, She would go out with Chris to actual Restaurants. That made Me even MORE mad. But I ignored it. They went dirt-bike riding, which I don’t like to be on anything with wheels, so, no sense in Me coming. But they made Me anyways, when all I did was sit in the car 90% of the time. Then My Mom and Chris declared that We were moving this summer to a house that was only a few blocks away from MY house. I only knew Chris for 3 months by that time, and I told My Mom I wasn’t comfortable about it, but all She said was, Why? Why huh? Why are You uncomfortable? Does He do anything You don’t like? No. So why be uncomfortable?
Hellllooooo. I only knew Him for 3 MONTHS. It’s not like it was 3 YEARS.
I also had a birthday that Summer, but I was at My Dad’s. And for the past 6 years, whether or not I’m at My Dad’s or with Her, She would always be at My Birthdays. Instead, She decided to go with Chris to Maryland, from California, to visit His family. THAT just REALLY got Me and ruined My birthday. She decided to go ON the day of My Birthday too. She didn’t even CALL until like.. The next two days. So I spent My Birthday locked in My room.
After We moved, I noticed things change. Asia and Chris argued a LOT. Like, everyday, even up till not, they’re arguing. They have A.D.H.D. and I’m not sure if that adds in to any of this… But I have homework that I need to do since I’m in High School, and I can never focus. But My Mom ends up ending it. How? By agreeing that Chris was right, and Asia was the "wrong" one in it. My Mom agrees with Chris about everything unless

Hey hun
It sound like your mom is being selfish, she’s not meeting you & your sisters needs, which can be difficult to handle. my mom use to be the same way. unfortunately the kids end up suffering and being hurt from this. the best advice I can give you is, trying to pull your mom to the side with just you and her and you sister. and tell her how you feel . if she is around Chris it will just go one ear out of the other. so you wanna make sure that its just you three. tell her that you want to be included in her life and you want her to respect your feelings. if she doesn’t listen i would think about living with you dad our a relative until she gets it together good luck hun

If i take off the governor on my mini bike what will happen?

admin — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 11:43:28 +0000

I want to take off the governor on my Mini Bike. But I heard that ur bike could really mess up. What is it? and What will happen?

depends on engine- might not run at all. On some of the Briggs and Tecumseh engines the ungoverned utility engines with plain bearing and splash lube will run twice as fast as designer intended and rod bearings will spot weld and seize- the resulting break and hole in side of engine will convince you it is bad idea. Mini bike with Chinese made Honda clone? Many of them are based on patent expired 50-90cc design with overhead cam lubed by chain carry mist lube- burnout cam bearings and lobes on over run. What kind of engine? Some mini bikes have 2 stroke engines- may have piston skirt breakage when consistent over revs- that usually happens before rod bearing failure but could get both. Take your chances .

Does anybody know of any dirt bike grips that don’t tear at the edges when the bike tips?

admin — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 01:38:12 +0000

Or is their some kind of like plastic to cover the sides?

Pro-Taper Pillow Grips. They are comfortable, stylish, and the end is made of hard plastic that dosn’t rip when you tip over.

Whats the difference between a mini dirt bike and a midi dirt bike?

It is a play on words mostly, the other is tire, brakes and engine size
