Only problem is the frozen ground, never try to jump off and stick the handlebar in the ground to prevent the bike from sliding onto you- won't work (why might I know that blush.gif )
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
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.
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.
If Zippy is not riding with skulls he is usually riding with this shirt.

He He, thats a good video he put up! And a good gap he jumped there, it would scare me a bit! Did you get him over the pyrimid of doom?
Did he have to go change undies after all that? huh.gif
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"
"Concern over the obesity epidemic seems to be throwing up a whole load of off-the-wall ideas but the message remains the same, that sensible eating and exercise are the major components to get your weight under control."
So basically they are condoning self medication.............."Throwing up"
Did you guys manage to fend off all the muslems immigrents? I seem to recall something from the PM telling them to FO?
Seems to me they are a bit thwarted with them in the UK and France!
Hell, most everything here is currently written in Spanish(Mexican) as it seems we must become bilingual to accommodate them, many(read most) whh are or were illegal to begin with! Then we must support them with tax dollars!
You cannot have medical here unless you pay extra! All the tax dollars go to the illegals! And deadbeats! huh.gif
i know what you mean. i used to live in california and EVERY thing was in spanish. if your gonna live in a country, SPEAK THEIR language.
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.
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.
How about a new forum devoted to the above as these question appear frequently throughout various bike specific forums, and alot of the solutions are general.
I guess it could be added in the Technical Forums.. as a specific forum.
So its like four outside in the garage right now....
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.
They said it was 17f at the trials camp last night and this morning.
I would not know, as I slept in! That is just too cold for me! rolleyes.gif I had a bad experience once, when all the beer I had drunk froze on the ground just outside the trailer door!
If youve got a fancy tank breather take it off, might just be blocked and stopping fuel going into carb, if thats ok check the carb itself is flowing fuel and the floats arnt stuck, all this though assuming you have a spark. Sometimes its tricky to see a spark in the day, best way is to try at night it will soon show.
The real mans way to check if theres a spark is to hold the plug, ease over gently, you'le soon know if its getting power !
Saves on hair gell.
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.
The Holidays Are Over. What Riding Is Being Done Out There?
