Track Ride with friends , pics

[Snortin Norton]

Howdee gang !
Was a nice Sunday today , a few new friends over to talk bikes , ride the track , talk trash and just have some fun
Crazy Carl , this is the Photo you've been waiting for , the Cogg in the gear that makes Kelly's brain go round and round and round .



And here is my Viva 250 prior to some major riding today '



Here is the Motley Crew ,

Crash-n-Fool , Snortin Norton , and DJ and my Fiance' that finaly got inspired to ride her new ATV !!!!




You will notice that I was the only ( smart ) one to wear any protection at all today ? DJ the young 13 year old , great kid , well mannered too , saw fit to run into a tree first thing out , roll the bike up against a fence later , break a new set of Bars when he crashed , all without getting hurt ? Fortuntely I have lots of parts and fixed him up with a brand new set of bars . So we had our fare share of mechanical failures today . None of wich effected my bikes .
Seams from some wiring snafoo on Crash-n-fools ATV he had to track for about an hour of issues is all . Come to find out it was a crushed wire and one that had been hill-billy soldered . So he fixed her right up and back at it again . As you can tell from young DJ's grin he was haveing more fun than he actualy knew he could today . He will make a great rider someday and by the end of the 6 hours of playing he got quite profficient , good man !!!

DJ in hog heaven !!!



The track has dried up good this last few days so no real mud and lots of speed today . I got the Viva out of 3rd gear thank God !

We ripped it up good today , softened out my bikes lines well with the ATV's , and I got some good jumping in today too . Was nice to see the Fiance' get out and ride with us . We had issues getting her beast started today from
sitting so long of course . I had just installed a 24mm Mikuni Race carburetor the last time she rode and it was fussy getting her going . Last time she rode I had set the idle way low after it got warmed up but never put it back to start mode , so that made it even worse till i figured out what it was . That and those little 125cc race motors do NOT like to sit without being run . Lesson learned I hope for her ? RIDE MORE !!!!!!! So once it got going she blazed a few laps on the Typhoon , smiling of course when she got back , and an exclamation " man this thing is fast " !!!! Yes, I know how to make these things fast , yes I do !!!

Crash-n-Fool took many many terrorizingly fast laps today, he is a very very good rider, lots of experience , was nice to see someone handle an ATV so well . His little 200cc beast did a nice job out here . I can also attest this is a great Father to his Kid , very patient , explained how to , how not to , and was really good with his kid . Was nice to see a kid that wasn't a complete a-holio bratt like most kids nowadays . Trust me if he wasn't a good kid he wouldn't be back on my track, but both are always welcome here and they know it !!!!

Here's the track after the ride session, nice and smooth but ate up big time !!!! We got so squirrley crazy in turn three we were slinging grass and dirt clods onto the road, very cool !!!

Nice fast little track today, was great fun for everyone, especially the Youth .
I only drank 4 Latte's , nobody else wanted any ?

So that was my day riding , a very good day of it obviuosly . Look forward to Spring so we can bring back the Back-hoe loader and make some jumps . Should be a fine track one day .
Just remember yall, you all can come out and play at my house, just ask . If your in town , come on out !!!! I got the best Coffee Beans this side of Canada for sure !!!!

Later, enjoy , Snortin Norton out

PS... yes I already know my camera date was wrong thanks
