Non-Moto / Re: Stupid Or embarrassing things you have done on a bike
« on: September 11, 2011, 08:45:15 PM »
I'm sure that I am no different than the rest of the older vets here, and like everybody else I could probably write a book about funny and not so funny happenings. One that comes to mind is falling over in the pits after practice in front of what seemed like everybody. I was coming to a stop, put my left foot out and then OH, OH, no ground. I stopped right next to a hole that I didn't see. So what could I do? I jumped up and had taken a bow. Talk about  embarrassing! Another time (a long time ago) I was tring out a new Lectron carb on one of my Jawas. Where I used to live there was a fairly long straight that ran from the street, between two houses which ended in a large back yard with a chain link fence at the very end. Anyway, I was making my normal Speedway start as usual when at approx. at the half way point where I always close the throttle, well, needless to say that damn carb stuct wide open with that fence FAST approaching. Without thinking I just moved my weight toward the rear and let the front end come up, which I then proceeded to mow down. As soon as I cleared the fence I jumped off therefore uncoupling the dead man kill switch which helped somewhat but I was still able to see that bike wheelie at 60 or so MPH to the next chain link fence that had a swimming pool very close to it!!! SAVED!!! WHEW; Miraculously it only got hung up in the fence and it did not make it's way through to the other side to take a bath. It did do a number on the front end. The funniest part was when my Dad came out and said "I was wondering when you were going to shut that G** D*** bike down, and I hope that taught you a lesson?" It sure did, never use a G** D*** Lectron carb ever again. I guess he still remembered the time I was riding another one in the back and crashed into the BBQ, or getting pissed off at the DMV because I failed the written exam twice for a street license and the woman behind the counter wouldn't cut me any slack when I tried to show her my AMA Lic. Or the time when...well that's another story for another time.

General Two Stroke Talk / Re: So now I hate Stewart even more.

Who was that tongue tied hair lip giving his dumb a** opinions also? Sounded like he was on some sort of ADD meds. The way Stewart was riding that YZ it didn't sound like he was wringing out much. I'm in full agreement with the subject line.

 That's what I'm talking about!!! I'll bet there wont be too many used YZs around after this beauty gets some exposure. Jealousy is rampant! Checked out the web site and there was no mention about the kit. Have fun, I know I would!!!

Very good!!!

For MX or any other type of off roading it will HAVE to be a 2 stroker. (I feel the same way about street bikes as well) I'm unwavering in my decision.

We also lost a one of our young junior speedway riders on July 20 in San Berdoo, Nick Varner. It's almost like an epidemic.

Open Forum / DO NOT look at old bikes!!!
« on: July 07, 2011, 08:23:53 AM »
Here it is early in the AM and it has already started off bad. Business phones are down and the WORST part is, I happened to find one of my old bikes for sale (I didn't know it at the time, I spotted it while getting coffee),what a pile!. It was neglected and butcherd. I almost got sick. I know it's no longer mine but it used to be one of the top machines in my stable (nat'l calibre). The emotions I had was like looking at a serious accident but for some reason you just can't look away. I felt sad, hurt, plus it felt like my heart was ripped from my chest. The moral of the story is, if you see a model like you used to own, DO NOT look at it. It just may have been yours.

I wouldn't care how upset they got, I hope they blow a F'n gasket, and quite frankly, it would make my year. Look how upset it made the rest of us.
