Title: Tired of not riding
Post by: hughes on March 28, 2005, 01:46:31 PM

Guy's I have fun and learn a lot about my bike from this forum. But my bike has been down for too long waiting for parts and money(I have had enough bench racing for now :lol: ). Got money and ordered parts. New stainless front rotor,new .46 fork springs,new kick starter,new top end kit,new side panels with backgrounds and new brake pads. It will be two weeks before I can install all new parts. Wish me luck I am going to try to install all parts in two days and then run the sh** out my bike for the last 5 days of my vacation. Just had to vent. The weather is getting right for riding.

Lol! I know the feeling, when I first got my 500, it was a case, and I ended up having to send off the engine to have it redone, it took about 5 months. The wait... oh it sucked!

Dude, talk to Arigato.  He was getting ready for a pro snomobile hillclimb and tore his pectoral tendon (the one that connects the chest muscle to the upper arm bone) and had to have surgery.  This happend in Feb. and he can't ride until June or July.  That's why he has so much time to polish that bike of his!

I think I will be alright now. This afternoon went to the building and laided all my parts in the order in which I plan to install them. Got all the bike parts laid out and tools ready to go.
