When TP found out about his leg, it affected his typing, thus less post whorage.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Get well soon TP, I need someone to ho it up with [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Check last post. True though, I did not turn this thing on Thursday. I was very depressed, but spent the weekend being assured that it will be good. I saw my "baby" brother(27) over the weekend. He is a daddy and a home owner, and it was really good to be welcomed into his home, and see how he has changed. If you knew this guy when he was a teen, you would be amazed.
Glad to hear everything is okay.

Weeman wants to know when you can come over and play [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Good morning PSAR

GOOD MORNING PSAR [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Well we made it home from Odessa last night about 10:30 had a good time!!
Here's my race report:
Ok well the weekend started off w/ waking up WAY TO EARLY Sun morning haha [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] stayed in the bus @ the Hotel parking lot in Euprata(sp) on Sat. night, drank some brews & some shots of SOMETHING??
Sun. we pull into the parking lot/pits & HOLY JESUS i have never seen that many dirtbikes in one place [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Harleys YES(Sturgis[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]) Dirtbikes NO DJ & Ron stood in the sign up line for a good hour I'd say, Dj ended up w/ #469 they went as high as 8?? Probably higher [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] YES that's how many racers there were lined up on the start line [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Race horn & smoke blew about 11:20 & THEY WERE OFF waay tooooo cool watching all those bikes come up & over the hill right at ya, we didn't even see DJ at all, he said he was in the front on the start 5th-6th out [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] so he was off & gone!! As we were sitting there watching the pack come down along pit row one rider went SAILING & his helmet went sailing W/O him [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] as we watched him try to get up we caught another guy hit a rock & go end over end [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] It was HARSH, well as we were walking to see if the rider was OK it was ONE OF OUR GUYS [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] cuz there were 4 of our other guys helping him out well low & behold we get up there & who is it??????????..................................BOBB Y [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] I have never seen anyone fly like that [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] he was knocked out & not moving but then he came too, he ate so much dirt ect. everyone was tyring to wipe his mouth out, eyes out ect VERY VERY VERY SCARY!!!!!!!!! The Ambulance FINALLY got out there & they got his helmet off, cut his chest protector off ect. they asked him his name, BD(which was yesterday) ect he was a little out of it GEE imagine that!! They put him on the backboard & took him into the Odessa Hospital, he ended up w/ a seperated right shoulder & screwed up left knee AGAIN!!!!!!!!! He came back bout' an hour & half later doped up & gimping!!!!
So after that I was just a mess wondering what happened if anything to DJ it sucks NOT being able to watch them race!!! Well around 2:10pm DJ rolled in [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Fine as Frogs hair, sore hands & tired but he did GREAT he finished in 2hrs. 40 min. not bad for a 1st timer!!!! His Uncle Bobby was very proud of him, he said he only went down a couple times, so no damage to him or the bike!! He got a better time than Bobby & Justin last year!! He said it was the FUNNEST race he'd ever ran!!! Haha well after waiting for the rest of the guys to come in we loaded up & came home w/ our BROKEN MOTORHOME [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
That poor thing took a BEATING, on the way there we had a passenger outside rear tire blow [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] FARKING LOUD!!!!!!!! Did lots of dammage to the MH [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] ripped the wheel well off, the side of the mh is all tore up & it blew a hole in the floor [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] THANK GOD Trevor was NOT w/ us cuz he would of been sitting right there!!! All I know is I heard the BAM & loked up front to see chit flying everywhere(dirt,wood,foam ect) so Ron pulls it over & we go "OH *****" we limped it into George & an old timer called Les Schwab & let them know we were coming (they were closing), made it there on some crap road about 20 MPH they didn't have a tire [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] they are not making that kind anymore haha go figure so they call their store in Euprata our friends went & picked up a a tire & dleivered it to us got it back on & we were on the road $150 later!! Just seen yesterday as we were leaving that our right rear shock is BUSTED right off [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] just haning there so there's one more thing to fix!! I'm just glad we DIDN'T have the trailer full of quads w/ us!!
So anyway that was our "big adventure" this weekend [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
All in all we had a great time, we got a little vid I'll try to post later as for a few pics too nothging to exciting since you can't watch the race!!

Well I am still running stock rubber on the back. The tires that I am eyeing are the Maxis I Razr's. They don't have as much tread as the holeshots that you have but looks like it would be a kick a$$ trail tire. I think that a good tire should have a good gap between the lugs on the tires, lots of grip but slid easier. I doubt this helped but stick with Maxis

We were only lost for about an hour. I don't know what happened after we left.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Happa is never "LOST", just disoriented once in a while. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
A good leader doesnt let the group know he is lost. He just hauls *** around and gets way out ahead of everyone so he can figure out where he is goin before the group caths up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

What we really need is a chainsaw, if anybody's interested in making the ride again at some point with the right equipment, let me know.

I also had the idea of back tracking from the spot we split up at and riding the trail back, marking the road crossing, or atleast the spot where we couldn't find where the trail picked back up.
Note to self. Do not go on trail ride without Orange Rattle cans and Stihl 460....
Another Note To Self... I better get a trail ute since no one else heeds my advice [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] Someone needs to babysitt [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

We used the term, lets hit some fingers, no traffic on those and many are a blast to ride on.
If you wernt from texas you'd know them are spur roads [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
