  1. It was a small crack about 1/2 inch long on the underside of the tail.. No need for resin/fiber.. Of course I wasnt expecting to drop it directly on the tip of the tail from 4 ft while it was drying either.. Im sure I will have to pick up some resin/fiber when/if I crash in it. Fingers crossed hoping I dont but ya never know. So do you want to get those rearset plates to mock autocad or what? I dont think Im doing Bike night tonight.. Probably just going to hit brazenhead as usual. Any luck with the graduated beaker/cylinder?

  3. Yeah but at least he doesnt lean into corners and make acceleration noises like you do while driving your Scion..
  4. That pissed me off so fucking bad.... I spent the time repairing that section only to drop the tail while it was drying and have it re-crack.. Fuck it.. Its on the bottom and you cant really see it.. Especially on the track.. Remember, this is the 50/50 paint job as I call it.. So if I pass you 50ft away at 50mph, you will never know its a rattle can paint job.. Fucker,, thanks for bringing that up asshole.
  5. Even if you get a runt, it will be 20X bigger then your current barking rat.
  6. I would give it a shot... I would love to take the Y2K for a spin just to say I did.. I wonder what top speed is on that thing.
  7. O shit... OG is in the house... another GDC refugee.
  8. Considering if we ride dirt on the 26, I will be at the track the 27 so they both need to be done at the same time. If I have to go with that shitty tire, then so be it but it will be tough as shit riding if its muddy since that thing is shot.
  9. Updates: Here is the tail after the tape was pulled tonight.. I still want to put the black pinstripe tape along the edge of the white and black just to make it sharp.. After that, I will hit it with clearcoat and be done with it. I may even do a metallic blue or dark blue pinstripe just to make it stand out more against the black and white.
  10. HAHA.. yeah I dont like yellow but if/when I get my race license, I will have to run yellow as that is the color for novice and white is the plate color for expert. The dayton flyers "shirt" you see, is actually a fleece throw (aka blanket) Im surprised no one mentioned the pink pleather couches.. Those were in my basement in college but its a pull out so I keep it in my spare bedroom in case anyone needs to crash here ...
  11. She doesnt remember Sat night... No Pink stripe
  12. Like I said... the pics the guy originally sent made it look pink however when I got them, that was not the case, the upper was red.
  13. Must be nice to be able to control a slide like this..
  14. When she has her hair down its more of a resemblance.
  15. In this pic she looks almost exactly like my friend who is also my neighbor.....Here is a pic for comparison
  16. Only in certain aspects... Im still not sure how the metalic paint over top the blue base coat is going to look considering the whole thing is rattle can hotness. I have so much shit to do this weekend its redicoulous.. My list is as follows. For the 750 Finish sanding and painting race body work Pull remaining stock bodywork off (headlight cowling) Flush radiator and change to water wetter. Chang oil/filter. Mount race plastics Pull tires off 750 and to swap to new tires Mount tires back up. Safety wire drain plug and oil filter. 1K Change oil/filter Wash Wax YZ250 Hopefully pull rear and install new tire if I have one. Pull front tire if I have a new one, I will mount it also. Pull off left fork Replace oil and dust seals in left fork. Pull and Clean air filter. Re-install everything. Lots o shit to do and not enough time in the day.. Im probably going to start working on shit at 8am sat morning assuming that my parts arrive by then.
  17. So I figured I would post this just for the hell of it. I bought a set of race plastics that needed some TLC and a new paint job. Here is my progress so far. The lower when I first got it. Notice the rash and there are a couple of holes completely through the faring below the rash After some bodywork and sanding. The finished lower after paint and clearcoat.. (Rattle Can Paint Job FTW ) The tail when I first got it.. The paint was complete crap and just falling off. You can see the paint all crinkled up in the lower left corner of where the yellow meets the black. After some bodywork and sanding I had to repair the tail where you see the pinkish color. It had a huge crack completely through it and the fiberglass was just poking out everywhere. I had to reshape that part of the tail completely. After applying a coat of black to the entire thing and taping it up to paint on the white number plates. Im still going to do some wet sanding and then pull off all the paper and hit it with clearcoat.. So the tail will be black with white number plates. Pics of the upper when it came… I hate the yellow number plates. Side pics. The black mark is actually a tire mark where someone rubbed up against him in a race. The gel coat was coming off the fiberglass all along this bottom edge so once again I had to do some repair work after pulling all the stickers and sanding the entire thing. I did the repair work last night so I havent had time to sand and shape it yet.
  18. I may just have to take the class some time this summer. Hmmmm.... Still need another endurance team mate chris.
  19. Post the link where you found this info.
  20. You will have instructors that will do just that.. Just show up and have fun. You will love it but I have to warn you that it is addicting.
  21. I just checked CR... Current vote stands at 70% for the 26th, Of course that is 7 votes for the 26th and 3 for the 19th. But if you have 4, then your votes are not included in that so it looks like we are pretty much tied for the dates as of now. Im hoping to rebuild that left fork this weekend.. I hope I have time with all the other shit I need to do as well. I also want to get a new tire on the rear before going.
  22. Call my cell and let me know of any days / tracks close where they are going to be doing that.
  23. Proper Term is Back Protector. Head out to Iron pony. They had a bunch in clearance for $30
  24. Zorro.. Are you sure its the 19... I think most people on CR voted for the 26th.. I would check with putty to make sure.. Now Im confused about the pass price as well. I was at Iron Pony on Friday and they said the new pass price was going to be $35.. If its 45, that is a $20 jump from last year.. what a crock of shit.
