Kyle has had my motor for 2 months. First waiting on a crank, then recieving it and discovering the cartridge plate was required. he ordered it 4/10 or so and no luck yet. I've done business with him since day 1 and he's great. I figured it might help to get active in looking for this one myself. He said he thought the rod bearing failed first, destroying the crank bearings and shaft and just about everything else inside. This all happened in 2 hours after getting a new piston/sleeve at my local dealer. !#$%!%$^@^&*&#!%!%&(!@#$$$

Yea mike, that is Dirt Trackin in Mobile and it is a fine track to be so new and run by amateurs. Oughta come this weekend, cause the rain today and tomorrow will knock the dust down. No irrigation yet!

Thanks 27 and Ben, I'm gonna call call and see where he is with this.

Thanks Gabe, o the olden times were the best....

Hey mike, it's a family ride this weekend. Saturday if the weather is good, Sunday if not. Should be 2-3 couples/kids for some track/trail riding and maybe a cookout if Sat.
Here's a pic of one of the sunday regulars:

Thanks Jim, I called marcums, if he has one, he's holding on to it. Not a real positive attitude there, but i guess it's understandable.

Yea, mike there are some hotels within an exit or two. should be cheap.

Are you jumping up to that upper ledge?

Very cool

Good write up on the V force too. Ive heard some stories of rollovers destroying the plasitc, hopefully something will come up on the after market to remedy that. As much as I roll over I'd be buying a new set a week!

Amazing that that thing is an automatic shaft drive. Ive heard they just scream.

Hmmm, I thought he had one. Yeah, he's alittle touchy about Cannondale right now. He has 9 on the floor, and they're all his. He paid up front for the machines to get a better buy price on them. He's not too happy.

Hope ya get it fixed.....she was a good machine.sad.gif

Yea, to the upper ledge and over the huge erosion hole on the landing. biggrin.gif
The Vforce does rip. It may even take the Holeshot title from c'dale.

Marcums said they had 3 quads and a bike, plus the baja moto.
