Frustrating day out on the trails for me. I replaced the air filter on the KTM (which was filthy) and now the bike is trying to kill me in every gear. Throttle response seemed ridiculous to me, and I ended up on the ground on more than a few occasions. Also the radiator cap isn't sealing properly, and not wanting to get stuck out in the woods with an overheated bike I ended up going home early. Also, one of the side plastic panels finally gave up the ghost as the mounting boss plastic tore off the mounting thread on the frame.
Not sure who's doing what this weekend, but HVD is closed this Saturday per their Facebook page:
Attention Riders, The Hodges Village Dam dirt bike trail will be closed on Saturday June 25th from 7am to 3pm. There will be a large Triathlon event using most of the west side trails for running and mountain biking. Please do not use the trails until the race is complete for everyone's safety!
Thank you,
HVD Rangers

Nah I haven't. Well, I briefly brought up the idea on the big street legal 2-strokes thread; check out page 19.
Kurlon amusingly posted this:
I also bought a well-used, single-bike Kendon trailer. No more U-Haul for me!

I could likely be convinced to go riding at Hop/Ev this weekend if anyone wants to either get in one last ride on last year's stickers or stop on the way up and get current year stickers.
oh, yeah, i remember nowand nice score on the Kendon

I'm available Sunday. KTM is gassed and ready to go.
Any interest in making plans for Sunday at Hop/Ev from this crew? Let me know a time.
9-ish? Suspect early >> late due to heat n' stuff.
Works for me. 9am in the lot and 9:30ish on the trails
Hopefully we can pull in number9, typeone, flippedr6, rada, scottieducati, Roland(can't remember screen name), yknot, kurlon and carsick. Hell maybe we could get Maxim_X to make an appearance.
Add anyone else I forgot too.
I think NHMX is open this Saturday for practice...![]()

Well Shit a god dam.

...only two? What happened?
The WR seems to be making aluminum coleslaw. I've pulled the valve cover, flywheel, and clutch basket with no obvious culprits spotted yet. Might just assemble and stress test again. Found the clutch spring bolts had been tightened until they stretched under the head. Wasn't me!
