OW! My forks are currently in a many pieced puzzle, hopefully to be resolved before spring. 20F would be an improvement I think we are averaging about 14F for highs right now. Couple weeks ago the lows were -13F

Just had some extras laying around and needed a place to put them.

HMMMM Cope don't wanna rain on your new business venture parade but...........I think I would rather buy that Sherco Economy 2.9 model they got going right now.

Not sure when this was done. Anybody seen this wall attempt?

Congratulations to the Gaz's Gaz let me know if the following comment rings true with you as well. I remember the birth of all my children. Each birth was the most incredible, beautiful and emotional time of my life. They brought my wife and myself closer than ever. The kids were just incredibly angelic. AND at the same time from a strictly spectator viewpoint, it was also the most disgusting thing I have ever witnessed. Enjoy your new daughter, they are only young once. Get used to the smell of dirty nappies and vomit, it don't go away for quite a few years.

Yep what he said and think about this, half of the Sherco Economy bike is 5 yrs newer than my current bike and the other half is 9 yrs newer. But in my current situation still too expensive.

OK here is some "food for thought" (pun intended) If being fat is so bad, evil, contrary to societal values and gonna make you die early..........why are there so many of us (yep I big dude..well round anyway) that ride trials, ride mountain bikes, cut wood, play recreational sports such as volleyball etc..... that have perfect blood pressure, plenty of energy, perfect sugar (not diabetic) and basically told we are healthy in every way except our weight is too high? I am not trying to sound like being 500 lbs is the new norm for weight, I just want to know why if it is so bad why are there so many that are healthy? (except for weight) Admit it there are a lot of riders on here that fall in the overweight category but still ride regularly and have plenty of energy and just well feel good most of the time. I just think the BMI scale may be a bit low for what is normal. This should get somebody somewhere fired up.

Damn straight I beat Anorexia, it was a hard fought battle but I think the donuts, cupcakes and ice cream gave me the edge I needed to really put me on the winning side. Cope, Thanks for the compliment, I sorta went over the Pyramid, rode up it with Biff playing catcher. Took a few tries to get the throttle right and courage right, but I did get on top, put my foot down, slowed my breathing and then gently rolled down the other side. Upon which I decided "Once is good enough"

Have you seen pictures or video of me? It is quite obvious that I have no trouble placing the food in my mouth and keeping it down in the tummy. somewhat shaped like this guy

bmclrev3 If you don't mind me asking What did ya pay for it? Oh I am in US. so if you can convert to US dollars that would be great. Because like most 'Mercans I are too lazy to do it meself. As far as I know we have no importer or dealers in the states as of yet. I am just curious.

So basically they are condoning self medication.............."Throwing up" There is no cure but it can be managed.

Yep that's right!!! If I moved to the U.K. I would have to learn English!! Sorry that would be "The Queen's English" and I would have to spell a little dyfferently.

It only takes one to get it started. Maybe others will see and get interested.

I was considering doing that to my Sherco. At first the Missus says sure stud the tires. Then she found out I wanted to go ride on the frozen river and play on the river banks. Now she has changed my mind for me.

3M spray adhesive and 2.5 yards of your favorite fabric. (Excellent idea that Biffsgasgas had) covers tank, front and rear mudguards and front disc protector. There may even be enough left over to do the lower fork legs. So cheap you can change it every trial.

I guess it could be added in the Technical Forums.. as a specific forum.

Yep about that warm at my house too...........but I got a furnace in my garage. Ordered chain, sprockets etc.. for the Sherco today. That's the most I have done with it since I was at the barn with you about 2 weeks ago. Had considered studding the Sherco tires and riding on the river with all the snowmobiles. Just think of all the riding that can be done on the banks, we got big tree roots, over hangs etc... But the infamous Mrs. Zippy said "NO!!!". I think she said something about not wanting me to fall in, get trapped under the ice and die. She's funny that way.

HOLY (insert favorite expletive here)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going skating on the yellow ice.

Cold? did it get down to a chilly 60F? Starting to sound like a complete tear down is the only way to discover the problem.

Sherco had a bad batch of kickstarts at one time, missed heat treat or something. can't remember what year, but that may be why it is bent. The stripped part sounds really bad. I have heard that a stripped flywheel key will allow the bike to run in reverse, is it possible that it may cause tremendous kickback? Or have I got my head in the snow?

But the TRULY BIG BURLY MANLY WAY: remove plug from head keep plug in the plug wire have your very best friend (or is it fiend) repeatedly kick over the bike until you are good and fried.

I think you lot are speaking out your "crotch"

Excellent performance by Josh Grant, He really stepped up when the door was opened. (by the crash between Stewart and Reed) He wouldn't even slow down with that hay bale wrapper wound around the rear tire.

I know I can save it if I just..................... Kiss the front fender. wrap my leg around the underside of skid plate. ETC ETC..... Must be more silly endings to that sentence
