My newest dirtbike was missing a rear brake caliper plastic gaurd.
I decided to make my own out of Aluminum. First I made a cardboard template, then I cut out (of some 5052 aluminum, .063in.) a bracket, and bent it into shape.
I had the bracket anodized today, but haven't taken a picture of it yet.
Here are some pictures of the template, and bracket.

Ohio.
The girls are in Ohio, seeing the cousins. It is pouring rain in Ohio right now, and Sydney forgot her jacket. Looks like there will be a trip to Walmart.
When Kim made a stop over in Newerk NJ. she could see NY City, and the Statue of Liberty. Great. Now she wants to take a vacation, and go to New York.
Kim took the digital Camera, so hopefully on Tuesday we will have some pictures to post.

Be sure to check out the links to the right.

I just sent out this link to some friends.
I am trying to find some recent pictures of all of us,
Amber, and Olivia.

Kim in Vegas

I just spent the last 30mins trying to log in to this blog. I had forgotten the user name. I have more user names and passwords, than I know what to do with.
I did a Blogger search on "Ratza", and found a Matt Ratza, and a Mike Ratza.
They are probably from MI.
Kim and the kids leave tonight for Ohio.
They are going back to see Brandon play football. Brandon is Kim's nephew.

The kids have started their prospective sports for the fall season. Sydney is doing soccer for the first time. Amber is continuing her passion for softball. Amber is now on the Mira Mesa Magic softball travel/rec team.

In between all that, I will try to keep them riding their motorcycles.

I will post some pictures of the girls playing softball, and soccer, when I get a chance.
