When I started the Offroad Junkies website back in 2010 it took up the majority of my computer time. When I had some spare time the last thing I wanted to do was maintain another website, hence the lack of updates in the past two years on SRR. But now I'm back! With no other websites to maintain you can expect the full blast on my awesomeness to be directed to SRR.com. Excited? Yeah you are!
If you're seeing the site for the first time you may have noticed that there's a wide range of topics that have been covered in the past. It's kind of confusing and didn't serve any purpose other than to talk...

The past week and a half has been pretty crazy. Not only because I've been pretty busy but I waded myself up on the dirt bike when I went out riding with the guys over at FTI Racing. I tried to jump a creek, failing miserably, and ended up breaking my collarbone.That little mishap happened on April 3rd.
Later on the following week I went to visit a orthopedic doctor and found out I would need surgery for the bone to heal correctly. They wanted to do the surgery as soon as possible as it would get more difficult as the bone healed. We opted to have the surgery this past Monday as I had obligations...

Last August Charkie Huegel, Jared Bolton, and myself thought it would be a cool idea to film some off-road motocross riders and put together a DVD. Even though I should have known better, we thought we would organize a ride day in Oil City, PA with a few guys and we would have enough footage. I can't exactly tell you what I was puffing on but that wasn't the case. We made it around the wooded area of Venus, PA for about 8 hours and ended up with about 40 minutes of footage, edited down about 5 minutes. We still needed about 40-45 minutes worth of footage for a good off-road DVD.
I've been spending...

This past weekend I headed down to Social Circle, GA to shoot video of the 8 hour team race that was being held down there. I rode down with Charkie Huegel and Mark Fortner who were going to be racing in the pro class, as Team Goon Hammer.
The race itself had some awesome obstacles you don't see very often. Besides the cold weather, I had a great time.
Jason Hooper over at digitaloffroad.com posted the video I edited of the weekend. Check out the link or the video embedded here:

Long time no update! How are you guys doing? Cool...Coool...oh my god you're boring me. Let's talk about something a little more interesting...like me!
It's been quite a while since I've made any updates and I won't go into filling in the blanks right now. I wanted to share with you guys a video I put together from this past weekend's Endurocross race down in Florence, SC. The race was Round 3 of the AMA Endurocross series. I've been spending this summer filming motocross riders from around this area for a TV I'm putting together. One of those riders is Charkie Huegel. He invited me to join...

It feels like it's been forever since the site has even crossed my mine. I was browsing around on Amazon.com just a minute ago and the SRR blog popped into my head. I thought I was brush off the dust and make a quick and pointless post.
Nothing much going on with me. I'm still trying to kickstart some things with myself and figure out my own workflow for getting things done. It's coming along slowly but that's better than nothing. I picked up a Moleskin and started keeping a To-Do list of the simplest things. You know like "Wipe butt after going #2" or "Remember to pee in the shower while water...

You may have noticed some changes to sirrobbierob.com. It's that time of year where I get bored of things and need to change something up.
The biggest change is the site design. I got tired of looking at the maroon vomit of the last theme. Since I'm not really in the mood to work on a theme from the ground up I decided to use one from WooThemes. I put together a simple logo and poof...finished. Nice and simple I think.
The other change was getting rid of Entrecard. For the past couple weeks my interest in the application has been dying off. As much as I like having people reading the random crap...

The title really doesn't have much to do with anything except my like for randomly thinking about 80's musical lyrics.
Ooh ooh ooh yeah
There isn't much going on in my little world. I've been trying to climb out of this rut that I got myself into, only the harder I try the deeper I get. What I'm finding is that once you let negativity into your thought process it becomes a cancer and takes over. From that point on no matter how hard you try, the negativity will corner you in the shower and have it's way with you. I refuse to let negativity corn hole me.
I've developed a nice little tool (Ha!...

Encountering a rusty gas tank during a bike build can take the wind out of your sails in a heartbeat. Well maybe not for everyone, but for beginners it's a huge obstacle. pipeworx over at the Jockey Journal forums has posted a great thread on a gas tank rehab.
Well, I have a client that is having me build them a motorcycle and I ran into some problems on the tank today. I thought that since I was having to repair the tank that I would share a little and possibly help someone else out. First, let me apologize for the blury pics as everything was taken with my cell phone. The tank is an old banana...
