  1. HAHAHAAHAHAHA the last big steel cylinder I tried to ride over I fell backwards and bent my bars. HAHAHAHA Are you trying to drum up business for Firstgear? Would you really want to defile a trophy by putting MY name on it.
  2. Had a good time but unfortunately a GASGAS had electrical problems and had to leave early. No big crashes, just a good time. If you would like to know more just PM me. I'll give a call for the next one. Maybe we will decide to go sooner than 5 minutes before we leave.
  3. Gotta love the Classics.
  4. Sure sounds like fun, Sherco would be best. Biff, Sam, You gonna ride? Sam, You're right would be a shame to hurt that pretty Honda. I knew you had an ulterior motive. Haven't I bought enough this season???? Oh wait still many events to go so probably not yet. Don't look to seriously for me to be there, I may have just been doing some wishful thinking.
  5. Sounds like water pump seal just "went bad" it happens. I use Coolanol in my 2000 2.9, but before that I was using pre-mixed 50/50 auto antifreeze. never had it overheat with either one so it must do the job. But I switched to the Coolanol based on a friend's recommendation. He made some persuasive arguments. Or I have been "duped" not sure but I am happy anyways.
  6. STRIKER STRIKER!! STRIKER STRIKER!!
  7. Hey KJAX, quick reference to other thread, Yep I had the witch doctor over at my section at 11:59 to put that Hex on it. OK real posting time, I am considering trying the Endurocross thing. Well really just thinking about it. Any ways here is my problem.........I don't have an MX bike or Enduro bike, So If I use my Sherco 2.9 and crash and break something (the way I ride high possibility) I am oh so screwed for riding the MOTA event on June 8th. I do have a 1986 Honda TLR200 Reflex. (with lights) first question, How would this bike fair on the E-Cross course? Second question, How would I fair riding this bike in the lowest skill level class?

    Good ole Krylon............ Chrome in a can.........or other colors
  9. OK so they are as upset about dust as they are about carbon dioxide??????? Ain't dust part of the earth and the earth is what we are trying to save right........... Maybe somebody should look at the manufacturing industry and reduce emissions from that, heck the government even gives out waivers so that some companies can dump more into the environment. I am all for reducing emissions in cars, trucks, recreational vehicles. but I am sick of all these Greenies trying to make me out to be the villain when we are only using what is available to us. Vehicle manufacturers need to reduce the emissions generated. Or I am just an idiot..............well depends on who you ask.
  10. Aaahh but you have your monogrammed towel to remember us by. Yep I love it when I sign up and there are only 3 riders in my class, then I can say that my high score is from playing around and not how I really ride. Don't you remember that crossing the border with Team WGASA is smooth and easy. And of course somebody would loan you a bike for the day, but there is only 1 other Scorpa in MOTA and I think he might be using it that day. Down hills are easy just point and let gravity take over! You will get to the bottom, hope fully with the rubber side down.
  11. Maybe you should try bending the knee. Just a quick guess that you are twisting your upper body one direction or the other and your lower leg is staying stationary. A bit more info. would be helpful as to what you were doing when twisting the knee. For example: I was doing a nose wheelie and trying to swing the rear end around.
  12. Where did you get the black fender? Looking Good, did I see a skidplate mounted on the bike? Or is that a puzzle to solve later?
  13. Got word from the "Infamous ED" He should be at the Windsor MOTA event. And he says it is nice to be missed. Joe has the guts and the skills for Expert class. I think he might want to see how he can place for the year in Advanced before moving up. I understand that type of thinking. I moved up to Advanced only after I got my goal of first for the year in Sportsman. Hey When we gonna get a post on the next event........Windsor EH? What are our friends to the North planning for us? Hopefully the creek is staying shallow and not flooding the entire property.
  14. Don't know. I sent him E-mail to find out.
  15. I broke the cast aluminum brake pedal on my 2000 Sherco 2.9. Found a new one through Ryan Young http://www.rypusa.com/ but I think you are "across the pond" so shipping may be high. It was not listed on the website so I had to call and speak with them directly. Also took my old one to a really good welder and had it repaired for a spare.
  16. And I had the best section of the day. I even had somebody tell me that. HAHAHAHAHA I am so bad at names and faces but there was this young gentleman (about 10 yrs old I think) in Novice class that tried and tried at my section and never gave up. Even got tangled with a tree but would not get off the bike. Unfortunately he fived my section the first 3 laps but on the last lap he gave it his all. He flew over the wheel base double log, made the turns on the hill and CLEANED the section. My hats off to the young man for never giving up and nailing it on the last lap.
  17. I had the same problem recently with my 2000 Sherco. Brakes would work to slow me down but would never lock up. I rebuilt master cylinder. bled brakes multiple times. new brake line new pads discovered a small leak where the bleeder threads into the banjo bolt. used a screw with correct threads with teflon tape on threads. Now works great. not sure which fixed it but would look for a small leak somewhere first.
  18. Hey Super Sherco SAM!!! I just hope we can make our event just as much fun as yours was. Be sure to tell me that the section I am observing is the best, most fun, and perfect section of the day. It will probably be a lie but I don't mind, I live in my own little world anyways.
  19. Ya'll need to scroll farther down. picture of umbrella girl.

    I still prefer the Bikemania Series. I think it has better bike control, can get out of tricky spots better. http://www.flashgames247.com/play/675.html BIKE MANIA 1 http://www.flashgames247.com/play/693.html BIKE MANIA 2 http://www.flashgames247.com/play/733.html BIKE MANIA ON ICE
  21. Scott, My wifey would probably pay ya to take me out for a few days and smack me around. Hey Sam, Ya know Scott is right about those Beta's..........they are just a glorified tractor.

    Hey Biff excellent video, your perspective at section 4 makes almost like I was there. WAY COOL!!
  23. Thanks for the invite, but alas the Warden........I mean the wonderful better half of my marriage has decreed that there will be no nationals this year.
  24. Hey Sam, How much to send my bike to CO? I am not riding the national or even planning on leaving MI but I thought the Sherco could use a couple days vacation, and see some sights.

    You da man Andy, Watching the world round and covering it. Sampling some of the local Beverages? And still find time to clean up all our scattered posts. Actually I am just a bit depressed that I am not there to enjoy it too.
