jse Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I tried air but it still was a struggle. Air is my go to grip install technique but it let me down yesterday haha. A thin small long stem flatblade screw in between the bar and grip, spray a little alcohol in, push screwdriver in more and spray, work screwdriver around a little and grip should break loose and be able to slide on. Just be sure not to puncture grip. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Last Sunday I was able to take the Old B.A.G.G. out for a ride. There is a bit of a write up about it here, with video! (not exactly good video mind you ) http://wgasa.motatrials.com/ We don't take ourselves very seriously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr neutron Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 It looks to me like you've got some pretty good riders in your group, Zippy! (my standards aren't super high anyway, but you guys ride much better than I do.... ) I envy ya gettin' to ride "inside" like that. I used to do that here, for mx, when I was sick of mud...... I've only been doing balancing & front wheel hop practice inside my barn. And maybe a little clutch squeezing now & then.....

zippy Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Thanks Mr. Neutron, We may have been technically inside but there was plenty of ventilation and zero heat. But NO SNOW!!! that was the main thing. (If you click on "Moving Pictures" in the top there are more videos. Not all are riding trials. WGASA is a lifestyle!!!) OH and I banged my header pipe on top of one of the "walls" at The Warehouse and put a small dent in the bottom of the curve. Been curious about something .............. How's Goddard doing?

shipdamite Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Stuck a big clear tank on and got it muddy! is that a rear haul loop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr neutron Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Is "Goddard" the dog-like thing in the Jimmie Neutron Show? I've actually never seen that show; my kids have seen it & told me enough about it so there was no need for me to see it..... Confession Time: My "Mr. Neutron" username comes from the old Monty Python bit with a character having that name. My real last name is "Newton" . Some of my mx riding buddies & I, back in the 70's, watched Monty Python regularly. When we saw the episode with Mr Neutron in it, they tagged me with that nickname. Not too much of a stretch to go from "Newton" to "Neutron", I guess.... It's stuck ever since......

sectionone Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I was riding in the backyard yesterday and when I tried to kickstart, the lever was locked up. I layed it down and took off the clutch cover, clutch and looked at the gears. Idler gear was fine and kickstart gear had the same chipped tooth it had for years. Put it back together, started right up with no problems, and then made a video with my new gizmo called a Swivl that is an automated cameraman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
