Just to land a helping hand here, 'sew' is something you do with a needle and thread, whereas 'sow' is the planting of a seed one will later reap.

Thanks! Yes, the Y section is machined from a solid block of 6061-T6 billet aluminum, then de-burred in a media tumbler (that's why it doesn't have the classic "billet" look with all the tool marks). I don't plan on parting it out, I'd prefer to sell it as a complete bike ready to rip. Thank you for your interest, though!

I feel very privileged to say i've chatted with Tom although it was very brief It was awesome. Truly one of the greats in our sport. What stands out the most to me is how loving & devoted he is to his family. Class personified. Wish you the absolute best Tom. The entire Carroll clan.

I started playing football as a kid and was given a random number. 44 I started racing in 1977 and ran 44h as my number, a pro had 44 I finished the season with more points than the pro had so the number 44 was mine! I earned it so I run it to this day. It's my lucky number!

Smart, when you're not feeling it, speaking from experience, back off and find another discipline to focus on for a while and as already stated, you'll be back we always come back. In my very humble opinion, do what makes you feel alive. all best to you my friend. Cheers, Pat

Thank you! Both 500's. we built them for Mammoth 2014. We pulled fuel injected bikes up the hill all three days! Great fun if you have throttle control. Things go bad real quick if you don't. Cheers,Pat
