THERE, I FIXED IT! --- MOTOCROSS STYLE

Dude, im sure you are the only human that carries a large spring round in their spares kit...
A friend of mine used bent nails to hold his rear mudguard on once.

Thats a sweet repair, i'll have to remember to add a huge spring to my emergancy kit. When i broke my frame in half on my yz60 at the 1982 supercross in the LA stadium, My dad welded it together with a coat hanger and a propane torch.

Cheapest guy on the planet I know. He lost the front brake master cylinder check window. Lost fluid and no front brakes... He JB welded a penny into the hole with brake fluid coming out everywhere. I told him it would never work. next morning, he fills it up, pumps brake and worked perfect all day. Three years later he still had that penny JB'd in there. Damndest thing. Wish I had a pic of the debacle. Same guy that rode the SAME YZ250 for a year with a Honda clutch spring splinted onto his broken clutch perch. It was black taped with a clutch spring to sort of hold it in place. Once again, worked for a year. Unbelievable. This was 15 years ago and we still dog him on it all two times a year he bothers to show up. Scary thing is this cheap a$$ now owns a 4 stroke!?? I don’t even know where to begin with the 450 stories for this guy. It would be a full page alone! Lol.

Broke the rear fender once....


Drilled some wholes and sewed it together with some wire... This was in 2002, its now 2009 and then fender its still in place....

You can hardly see it under the sticker kit...

The o'l duct tape clutch perch got me through more then one broken perch weekend..

Not moto, but in '03 we were out in Moab for a week, one buddy had a new '03 yz450 and after a couple days changed oil. Apparently forgot to tighten one of the oil plugs, the one in the frame. 20-25 miles out at a place called Chicken corner, something like that, late in afternoon, he was in front, and me and my other buddy started seeing oil slicks on the rocks, then heavy smoke from the Yz. We finally caught him, got him stopped.

For whatever reason, he had put a siphoning bulb and hose in his pack, so we took a little oil from my CRF, and an RM 250. Turned out the seat bolts fit the oil plug hole, so we used one of those.

We rode slow, getting dark, and came upon some local guy in an old pickup, walking along drinking a bottle of wine and collecting rocks. He had an extra qt. of oil with him and gave it to us!

We hightailed it back to camp, just about dark, and drank a lot of beer.
