11-11 Veterans Day D-Bike

[mycirus]

Great day guys. I think my core temperature is starting to come back. Nothing like being totally soaked head to toe in water.

[Chippertheripper]

I definitely left at the right time. I rode home with the heat on full bore and was still cold. I was scrambling to put the thing back together I didn't eat anything at all before riding, and I was sapped after sliding around out there in just that short ride. Next time.

Great ride. I had just enough clothing on to keep me nice and comfortable. Those sippi holes were DEEP. I think some of the deep water were above the tires. Just when you think they would not be deep, they wold dope slap you up side the back of your head.

Bruce. You just have to stop diving dead first into them, also the number of time you had to kick the 250 over, I thought you would have been warm to the core. Get those valves in order!

I hope I did not slow you guys down tooooooo much. My first time on anything that technical and slippery. I just have to learn how to get the bike turned on the obstacles..

I'll work on some of the VId.. You will be bored. I wish I had the Beaver run section. camera was set to take a picture and not vid. it.

Hes doing it wrong I started his bike for him without a problem. However if he wants me to check the valve clearance bring it over. Shouldnt take more then 30min from start to finish.

All Valves were within spec. Thanks James!!!! I guess I need to kick it better.

[Chippertheripper]

Change your plug too maybe? It shouldn't start that hard.

It doesnt. Took me 1 kick to start it.

The old just past tdc trick?

The old just past tdc trick?

No he is just doing it wrong. Either not giving it a full kick or twisting the throttle while kicking. When its cold its two turns of the throttle then close it and kick. Should fire right up. When its warm pull the hot start lever and kick with no gas.

Hes trying to start it like his old CR250. Not going to work.

I f'in loved the beaver pond loop...it's like a roller coaster!

I was slow, but I was surprised how much throttle you could use on the uphill banked turns and whoops section near the highway.

post your pics! mine are all old:

Finally figured out a program that works.
This will put you to sleep by how slow I was going...

I think that just made my day!!! LOL

My riding was not much to watch.

Bruce had something interesting enough to check out and put up.

The camera was set to take a single picture before the Beaver run. I was pissed to find that out when I was looking at the files. That was the best sections and I did pretty well. I remember PK going up to his fenters in on hole when I was right behind him. That was fun to watch. It would have been better to see over and over again.



Considering what has transpired this week my Saturdays of seeing the 99years 2 months and 2 days Gramps in Law have now opened up for doing other things. RIP buddy. Kate and I you and will miss you for ever.
