ttugrad1793 Started a new thread Going riding on Sunday.....
12/27/2014 2:37am Long time lurker, first time poster. I raced in Texas in the early to late 80s on 60s and 80s. Did pretty good, also. Got 10th at Ponca one year, and 3rd at Lake Whitney's Texas Championships. I had a friend die on a 250 at Rio Bravo, and mom made me hang it up. My brother and I would...

ttugrad1793 Started a new thread hi-res "cornering" pic
11/13/2014 2:19pm Kind of a random request, but I'd like a picture for the wall of my office. Ideally, I'd like sweet picture of someone railing a berm. I don't really care who it is in the pic. Got anything that might work?

11/13/2014 2:15pm that first Windham is kind of what I'm looking for. Most of these aren't hi-res, but got anything else like that? I love the angle of attack, the grip in the dirt, straight leg - all of it.

12/16/2013 7:47am ok, I'm back after a most-epic day of riding. As for the bike, I got it sorted out on Friday. I ended up taking it to the local shop, and after a carb teardown, the said the pilot jet was dirty. Not sure how, as I personally blew the damn thing out with compressed air, but I can't argue with...

12/12/2013 9:24am took it to the local dealer this morning. The guy starts it and says "Oh, it's the Jet Pilot Circuit. I can tell because the bike isn't loading up at idle at all." Meh. We'll see. There's still hope. I'm determined to slay this track this coming weekend - I'm going to roll all of those jumps and tip over...

12/11/2013 6:59pm drats! Help! Took the bike out yesterday for a spin. It had sat for perhaps a month. Fired up fine, but had a weird bog at extreme low rpm (just as I turned the throttle). to the googles and found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVzqqpgviyI That's the exact sound my bike is making. Pulled the carb, cleaned the jets, dumped the fuel, new...

12/10/2013 6:06am haha - a friend fussed at me and said "Hell, just leave it on there - you might do some trail riding and wish you had it when you stop." So it has stayed. As for fitness: "In shape" = am not overweight and can turn some laps and moderate intensity without gasping for breath. I'm certainly no Ironman, but...
