zippy

I have done away with the side stand, But lucky for me all the places I ride have natural kickstands around. (trees) Here is a philosophical question. Would having the Gyroscope thingie be considered cheating? It takes away the rider's need to have balance and balance is definitely a part of the sport. Just a question.

Had a great day, was a little sloppy early on but most sections actually dried up nicely. Good thing the rain stopped around 10:30ish I even had 7 cleans!!!! Great Event!!!

Hey my Autographed copy of Pat Smage's Next Up DVD arrived today!!!!!!! Thanks Craig.

Talk to Biff He broke his Gasser stearing stem once. I think it was his 2000 280. He would have some insight.

Every type of graphics I do to my bike I am somehow going to blame Biff. I don't know how I am gonna be able to blame him but I gonna try. Besides the Pink Camo gives me a reason to really try to ride good and hit the BIG stuff. If I ride really good maybe it will counteract the "Pansyness" of the bike. Besides it sure is funny looking!!! But I gotta agree with Biff about the Plaid, The plaid looks like something that would be nice to keep on the bike for awhile. The pink camo ain't gonna stay long. (Hopefully I have a solvent strong enough to remove that glue. )

HAHAHAHAHA Speaking of old timers.......................

Thanks FanticMatze, Looks like a great, fun (and difficult) place to ride. Just beautiful property. Don't worry about not synchronizing the TV-Spot video in English.........My English ain't much better than my German.

I wanted to powder coat my 2000 sherco frame, wife said I could only if I did "super bright hot pink". Was gonna use a friends powder coater. I was gonna do it but we did not have an oven large enough for the frame.

I changed mine once a year if it needs it or not. If nothing is leaking out should be just fine. You will find there are many different opinions about how often one should change Gear oil/lube. some change after every event to once a year.

HOT PINK!!!!!!

Firstgear, Nope not my house. I am really Jealous though. That guy had two axles, (so you know it is high end quality) mine only got one. I didn't have enough money for the front porch. Really makes that first step down a doosey!

Hey Biff, Those that built it, anybody I know? If so when can I go check it out? Love Venison, The problem is I only hunt with my truck or a minivan!!

I'll sell ya my Chrome 2000 Sherco frame!!! And with it being a "Vintage" frame that means it is worth more. Also with all the extra "restoration" welds it must be so much stronger. I will part with it for the low low price of a new 2008 or 2009 Sherco!!!!

WAY TO GO MICHIGAN GUYS!!!! They know who they are. I hope they do.

FanticMatze If you can swing it some pics would be cool.

That makes for a mighty looooonnnggg dab.

I are a Redneck through and through. Is that the trailer he had in Rose City. Yep just tall enough on the sides to be at the top of the bikes, and he pulls a tarp across the top. Seems to work well.

Yep Torque wrench was a wonderful thing to have when i rebuilt my sherco motor. Use it far more than I thought I would for normal maintenance things.

Cardboard and Duct Tape. Light weight and water proof. A Handyman's 2 favorite materials.........Maybe some bailing wire can be used for tie downs. Then ya got all 3 of the favorite materials.

If you break the head off or pull the threads out of the hole then it was too tight. So stop just before that happens. Yep I are a smart

Yep AMA card required for riding MOTA events. We do have an event site in Indiana also.

Betcha I could still finish last. I have been known to purposely 5 sections in an extremely rainy event just for fun. Actually the one I am thinking of was an event at Windsor and I may still have placed 3rd that day, of Course there would have to have been only 3 riders in ADV for that to happen. For some reason Windfall did not offer to be my minder/pillow............

WOO HOO I'M A WINNER!!!!!! I would like to take a moment to thank those that put forth the effort of the contest. Brian was a heck of a competitor, A true gentleman in the sport of caption writing. Craig PM on its way

GOOD LUCK PAUL!!!!!!!!!

Hey ya'll know if any of the MOTA Canadians are gonna make it there?
