i think this ktm has the worlds most uncomfortable seat ever.. i think a corbin seat is going to be my first mod over a power mod

Going to try a race this weekend. No real training other than beer drinking so I should be hurtin after the practice laps while the pro riders that are sponsored will just start to sweat. Should be fun breaking stuff and trailing these good riders woot I am pumped. Pics of the carnage if I am not too hurtin

the best way to learn your way around a track is to follow someone faster than you

ah man, time to stock the fridge with ladies.

down_hill_dog 05-03-2009 09:04 AM

I took a mean gouge out of my left index finger with an angle grinder yesterday. I poured ladies on it to clean out the cut, but now it's going green... Do I have a problem?

jeffh 05-03-2009 04:24 PM

nope, ladies can do no wrong

dont have to stock up if we all just dont vote NDP

10-4 man

got a huge chunk of bodywork done on the beat-hole today. I definately just feet first into this one.

zumvette 05-04-2009 10:24 PM

So my first motocross didn't go so good.

To start things off we draw numbers for position on the lineup for the hole shot well I picked the 3rd last number called and got almost the worst spot. I got an excellent hole shot only to hit the first corner on the highside which I intended cuz everybody goes for the inside well 1 of the few bikes ahead of me decided my line was better and slammed on the brakes and cut in front of me.

Well now I am buried into the back of his quad. After every other quad rides around us we pull apart our quads. This being my first ride with my tether kill switch I forget to plug it back in. So after most of the other quads arer half a lap ahead of me I figure it out. Then to discover in the crash I bent my front brake lever with my hand but the adrenaline was goin so I didn't notice. A front brake is really key to a quad moto, helps plant the front end into the corner and makes it easier to slide the ass end when the front has a lot of the weight transfer

In this moto there are 20 quads entered and about 4 are girls. It would hurt my pride far too much to lose to a girl. So once I got my quad runnin it was a hunt to get ahead of them.

I get out of the first couple short corners to the first table top, so mad I might lose to a girl I keep it pinned and clear my first table top. About a 30ft table. This only boosts my morale and then hit the step up in the same fashion and clear it as well. About a 40ft jump. The next jump is the grand stand but this a 65-70ft table so I don't clear it but do very well. After about 2 laps I reel in 7 quads without a front brake and a hurtin throttle hand.

So near the beginning of the 3rd lap I am catching up fast to a girl with the same quad as me. Appraoching the grand stand table she let's off a lot so I am starting to catch her faster and I let up cuz I don't to go whizzing by her nor do I want to have probs in the air beside someone. Well we all know what happens when you let up and u approach a jump, you endo hard!!!! So I land on the front wheels really bad a lil over halfway into the table and then proceed to roll and roll and roll. Needless to say I was done for the day.

So after xrays, a ct scan, and an mri I found out that I have a fractured spine (small tiny piece) and a lot of torn muscles and ligaments in my back. I am up and walking (in a neck brace) around but on meds. Hurts like a mofo but I am hooked on motocross. The rush of clearing those tables was intense. So the doc said I should take 6 weeks off and might not make any races this year.

So the bike needs some love now and might get a few horsepuppies added to the stable along with a longer steering stem and ss brake lines. Holy long post

They must have you on some really good drugs! I think that is the longest, most involved post you've ever made!
I take it no Idaho trip now?

jeffh 05-05-2009 08:14 AM

holy zumbo that sounds like alot of fun, except for the crashing parts

saucywoman 05-05-2009 08:25 AM

holy shit good to hear you're okay and yeah that sounds like it was a lot of fun before the hurty part, lol

zumvette 05-05-2009 10:50 AM

Just t3s and robaxacet but with some beer it makes me feel good. I did all that typing on my blackberry as well that's why there's no pics to join it.

Dano u should be able to see my pics on my facebook.

Lame part is I am in the er again cuz my gf who got me into the motocross idea twisted her ankle real bad at work. Good thing the drugs started to wear off so I could drive her suv. But now I am sitting in the er without meds!!!! Grrrrrr

girlcrazy_420 05-05-2009 11:01 PM

Surfing the net on the blackberry is a very slow process. Wishing I had another source of internet. We moved back to rutland, got tired of the 25 minute drive to work everyday and I missed having a yard big enough to park 10 plus cars.

Iceman-19 05-05-2009 11:10 PM

haha, sell some cars.

Dirt Rider 05-09-2009 04:24 PM

PENNASK YO... if u want awsome fishing(smaller fish) u gotta hit up pennask.. i try to get in there every year.. your garunteed to limit out daily if fished correctly..

for those who havent been there, to get into the forestry site is a little on the rough side (half the fun) even into late June your lookin at door hight mud puddles to get through.. its a slow go for the last bit.. but omg the camping is amazing(camper or tent, you wont get a trailer in there no way no how) and like i said.. the fishing is nuts..

whos in?

jeffh 05-10-2009 09:23 PM

underscore 05-10-2009 09:35 PM

RRxtar 05-10-2009 10:25 PM

pennask is fun to get into and absolutely agreed on the fishing.

Slo40 05-11-2009 06:42 AM
