[rbrais]

Just signed up. Old 30C & Keepin it real.

[Kurlon]

If I can find a blind bearing puller set I should be able to repair my clutch this weekend. Once the clutch is 100% I'll be signing up for Keeping it Real and Headlight I think.

[rbrais]

A puller? All I need is a 10 or 12mm socket.

You show me how to remove the clutch pull arm needle bearing with a 10mm or 12mm socket and I'll buy you a case of your choice.

[rbrais]

Hmmm. Never needed to do that. Guess that's one of the pro's of riding an old 2-stroke! Cheap and easy to maintain.

Should I mention it's a 1992 Yamaha WR250... two stroke? : )

[rbrais]

LOL. IDK, my Hondas have always been simple.

I can race 40 this year too! Can't wait to run Southwick on the KXF with those crazy sand tires.

Sorry about NESR, I'll stop posting...

[typeone]

what sand tires are you trying, Paul? the Pirelli MXS works mint

[Paul_E_D]

Yeah, the Pirellis. I got 2 used sets with my KXF. One set has some life left in them.

[typeone]

ah, score!

[rbrais]

I have to replace my tires this year too. They are kind of dry-rotted and the knobbies are starting to chunk off. Think I put them on in '98 or '99.

[Paul_E_D]

Speaking of which, mine are out in the cold... gotta put em in the basement.

hmm, i have a brandy new rear in the garage... will the cold kill it?

[rbrais]

No. My bike has always been in the garage or barn and it took 13 years for the tires to go.

[typeone]

bike is warm and cozy in the basement, new tire isn't.

13 years? hahaa!

[rbrais]

I ride it once a year. Used to be for a memorial race, but they ended it. Now it's Stimilon.

[Kurlon]

[Paul_E_D]

Won't YOU need it to race with us?

(Not available in 18" for us enduro derived nutballs or I'd have been all over it.)

[breakdirt916]

I would come IF:

1.) my MX bike ran

2.) I knew how to ride an MX bike

I went to the "NESR rise of the dirt cycles" a couple years ago at crow hill...black squirrel was there...A13 was there...pittenger was there...and the moment I let out the clutch on the rutted entrance...I fell. And it gets worse: I couldn't pass 8 year olds on CRF80's...I almost went over the bars on the first jump with a lip...and after leaving at noon to go home and finish up work, I slept for like 2 days from all the aches and pains

But I have a 6-week rotation up at Heywood Hospital in Gardner, MA...and it is 8.3 miles from Crow Hill, so hopefully I can get some practice in, and be able to run laps, rolling all the jumps. I also started working out, so hopefully my body will be better conditioned to handle the stress...
