Well, we went to Pismo on a near perfect day[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Watching the weather over the internet worked out great[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] We landed between storms[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

On a sad note, the clutch went out on my 400[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Will have to do some research on aftermarket versus stock clutches.

 

what 's a "clutch" ? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] we don't have those problems with our rec quads, only you hot-rodding punks on the sport quads. hey, i sold a set of atv tires today for $220. original Dunlops and Maxxis.

 

It's something that you are probably not coordinated enough to figure out[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I wish[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I was one of those hot rodding punks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I'm getting to old[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] to be doing that stuff. Body just doesn't want to revcover enough to enjoy that kind of life style anymore[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

Was that 2 sets of tires mounted on wheels? or just the tires? Doesn't seem like a bad price and that's $220 bucks in your pocket to spend on some more parts[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Actually for the riding you've been doing lately[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] you must have the quads running pretty good[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

<points to the southern sky> What the heck is that bright thing? I vaguely have a recollection of something called the Sun. Maybe that's it.

If it keeps raining I'm buying a raft. This has been INSANE this week. Looked at a Weather Station in Clovis today and it picked up .7" of rain this morning. .03" in 5 minutes. Left the house this morning and the yards looked like prime swamp land. Least I won't need to turn the sprinklers ($$) on for a bit.

My coworker went BACK to DMV yesterday. They wanted to see the quad the first time he went and wanted to see the emissions sticker. Evidentally it was scratched. Who knows. You could plainly read the CA OHV Emissions cert. sticker on the pull start housing. You'd think if it was CA certified, that it would be federal certified. And I didn't even know there was a certification for emissions at the federal level for OHVs. I know they do sound levels. Somehow I think they are trying to do this for road going which you can't do in CA...well you shouldn't be able to do.

So now he has to go to the CHP and get the emissions sticker certified. Sheesh. What a PITA. Has to wait until 1/13 to do that. Then he has to go back to DMV with the cert. form.

it was 4 tires (2 & 2), no rims. ya, I'll get the wife a set of rims for the Recon. Everything is running good. we're riding tomorrow. but boy, is it COLD here, around freezing, but the coast always makes it feel 10-20 degrees colder. we'll have the full-on rob-the-liquor-store gear tomorrow, balaclavas, hoods, big jackets. just need some weapons to complete the ensemble.

well, Happy New Year guys, have a good one and many happy PSD'ing hours to ya.

 

BTW, any of you guys familiar with the pre-PSD?? It was a 7.3 Turbo Diesel. different block than our PSDs. well, they've had problems with the blocks. the cylinder walls pit, causes cavatation, engine goes=total rebuild, re-sleeve cylinders. one friend just rebuilt his at 170K miles, another guy I know did his around 200K (miles). Sooooooo...., a relative just phoned me excited on this great deal he got on a '94 Turbo Diesel, with about 125K on it. he was oblivious to the cavatation problems. I just didn't have the heart to **** on his parade and tell him it's not an "if", but a "when".

Dear PSD guys, what would you do? Smile and say, "Oh yeah, great!" (like i did), or tell him to unload it? No wonder the dealer gave it to him so cheap and said get it off the lot. he paid $7500 (US), and they told him they sticker 'em on the lot at $12,000-14K.

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR fellow FBK brothers[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Hope you all have a fabulous 2005[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] May your PSD take you and your family to many atv riding places[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]and return you home, in one piece[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Skinner, I hear you about the rain. I know when we were at Pismo, in a 24 hour period (Monday) they received 2.5 inches of rain. These cells are dumping the rain. Which we need. And the snow is great too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
