Speaking of crashed trucks. Last night we were pulled off the trail to top off with fuel at a Citgo station. In drive these teens in a hopped up sonoma with a v8 in it and loud exhaust. They whip a couple donuts on the icey pavement and pull up to the pump. After throwing a couple gallons in the truck would hardly crank over (im guessing way to advanced timing) then after about 30 seconds it starts. The driver floors it does a couple more donuts and looses control,goes over a small snow bank and right into a very large rock or cement structure in the ditch. We were ROLF .
If I only had my camera with me.

Im not saying jester drives like that .

I wasn't even doing over 20-25 when the truck started to slide. There was no posted speed limit or anything, and it was cold enough to have ice on the road, so if you say I was driving liek a teenager so be it.

As far as people coming on here saying they don't think they want to get a dale because they always break. I laugh in thier faces! The only serious problem that wasn't my fault that I had was he decomp let go. If you think they break to much, don't buy one. Buy a TRX where the crank will go, or a yammie where the bolts back out, how bout a suzuki with corrosion and valve issues? Maybe it would be better to buy a 400ex, I havn't heard many problems with them, but don't bore it over a 426 because then it will start to overhear. People need to get a life and quit their bitching, every machine is going to break. These are race bikes, ask any racer (A class +) how often their motor gets gone through, and people want to run a race motor for 100+ hours. Go for it.

Well said and my post had nothing to do with you . On slick roads anything can happen. Regardless of who is driving.

But yeah winter throws wierd conditions at yah, and driving can be heck. Last night i was driving(in the **** blizzard of michigan). It was interesting but i was doing like 30/35 on a posted 55 main road and people were riding my butt then pass and i seen 4 ...thast ruight....4 of them lose control after passing me and go into the ditch, and one go off a 5 foot ledge and into some little trees. They were all alright cause i saw them outside there cars cussing and k,icking teh ground....lol. I was laughing pretty good.

I may have misunderstood, and that is veyr easy over the internet, it seemed liek you were ragging on me because I told the kid he shouldn't buy a dale cause they are unreliable. I am sorry. and no Hard feelings.

...holy $#@%*&^%$#

seating of the wristpin clip? or wrist pin itself? or from tight sleeve clearance? I hope you can narrow down the cause for us, or post observations from inside -- that's a real downer for the owner. We grieve. :cry:
