^^^ That episode had me rolling. Trim, mirrors, and doors all over the road!

Keep in mind while a beater might meet the qualifications but it doesn't end there. Most of the cars (the contenders anyway) are frankenstein machines with suspensions and bits from other cars, lightened, and sometimes even engine internals seem to have been fiddled with. Then you've got rollcage, tires, brakes, and other extras that don't count toward your total. So it ends up getting pretty involved. I lucked out and got into a team full of mechanics (I knew from auto-x) and they'd rather do this stuff themselves.

Bumpin, would consider trades for dual sport, supermoto, etc I'll throw in a free matching helmet

I hate shopping when my bike hasn't sold . . . I'm tempted to just take it into a dealership on a new KLR. . . Then there's the KTM 525, or even the strom. It's tough . . .

It was then that I noticed in the sand a footprint, a dot and a line, in my path. I asked, what are these in the sand and where have my footprints gone? He answered me, "when you were tired, I had a pirate with a peg leg push you in a wheelbarrow."

I would ask you how to do it . . . but I think I'll just wait a couple weeks and get my android phone

To quote from an article I read about LeMons once, "it's the most fun I ever had with my pants on." If I'm being honest I'd rather race bikes, but this event has an appeal all it's own. Don't think for a second that these cars aren't quick either, most of the front runners are fast little cars.

Last year was at the Toledo speedway, this year it's at Nelson Ledges. Still almost 2 hours though. Here's my album from last year: http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y99/Urthclaw/Lemons%2008/

Well it's finally here http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/events/lamestday09/ Last year was so much fun we're back at it again this year. If you've never heard of the race here's a link of last years race that should break it down for ya. We're the flying brick. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/28/automobiles/28LEMONS.html So after finishing only 19 out of 54 starting last year due to transmission issues (stuck in 2nd for about 15 hours), we've resurrected the car and it's meaner than ever. Half the roof is gone, we cannibalized other Bimmers for just about everything that was broke, and we picked up some sweet wood trim. Soon, we will be putting a chicken on top of it. Yeah, you get some points for style . Anyway, I'm just a bit excited. We didn't get any video last year but we're much more prepared this time around and expect some great in-car footage. If anyone wants to stop by look for the chicken that's passing everybody. Wish us luck!

Nice meeting you a couple times. I hope all goes well!

Get a GPS and a KLR, you won't need any road

It was Nelson Ledges with Fasttrax, a little bumpy but I hardly noticed. The bike was amazing! Thread here: http://www.ohio-riders.com/showthread.php?t=32767&highlight=rodeo

I have high hopes for next year as well. Got my first taste this year, hopefully the time and money factors will come together much better next season.

Future generations will wonder why we needed all that noise to move forward, this makes me sad . . .

Maybe if it's a one way trip, mine's for sale ya know

Ewww I don't get out unless it's at least over 40

Thanks a lot!

Gave me chills reading it, hope that works out for ya Dub!

I'll consider it but I'm looking at stuff for dual sports so I'll probably get something a little bit more MX style. Thanks

I think I speak for all of us when I say . . . I don't want to know

Fun maybe, useable? Heck no.

Foot rub . . . maybe. We'll add manis and pedis to the face painting party.
