Time to Catch up!!!

OK, so it's been since May since I've updated the blog, but my Flickr is always the most updated and then the forums of which I visit. But it seems that all of my interested are a bit blurred, so I think I may see where / how the blog can actually keep everything glued together. Yes, I have been contimplating just how to use the blog as my interest are all over the map. While I will still want to post in the forums withing the different interest, the blog for me personally can make it all flow together.

SO, since May, what have I been doing? Lot's of work of course!!! As Marketing Manager at HPI RACING, it has been one busy summer! Just look at our events reports!

Since I am yet to be cleared to ride off-road on anything, it's been lot of bicycling to-from work and little trips on the weekends whenever possible. Just see my Bicycle Collections folder on Flickr to see what all is going on.
And I also picked up a new vehicle - a 1992 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ80 of which I am calling ADV80 as this will be my family 4WD version of my KTM950ADV - adventure motorcycle.

Suzuki 4-Door Sidekick research: Next project?

I have been a fan of Toyota Land Crusier's and Land Rover Defender 110's but, I still like 4-Cylinder vehicles. They use less gas! There are several reasons why I like 4-Cylinders, but when I started seriously thinking about my next vehicle and with the same Adventure spirit that I have with my motorcycles, I narrowed down my search to the 1990-1998 Suzuki 4-Dr Sidekick. Here are a couple of examples of what I wish to build:



This is Brian's 1995 Suzuki Sidekick Trailrig
This is EXACTLY what I want to build!!!

Another budget buildup:

This is Rod Suzuki’s Suzuki Sidekick “mean green”

Another nice Suzuki Sidekick example in action!

I like the Black&White Bead-lock style wheels on the red Sidekick. A little red or black powder coat on that blue suspension pieces would have made it nice-nice...

Indonesia obviously has some major competitions going on for the Suzuki's!!! And so far the coolest Sidekicks I've seen so far!
