    That's about an hour and a half so it's reasonable

    I know, I know! Hey, it's raining down here and no cold weather in the forcast..so i've been lazy

    Those are 22's! Big yes, but they hook like a mother fucker. I've got a 12 tooth countershaft up front to make them spin, and a few "other" tricks to make it handle My next new set of tires for ice will be 18's

    I forgot how much fun it is doing that, Hours of screwing ice screws in with a electric drill to the point where you cant release your grip from the drill because you fingers are seized up

    When I did the YZ I got a blister from the screw gun after doing those tire. I think there was a hang over in there some where also.

    Re: One down..

    Hmm, I must be used to screwing a lot, no blisters on my hands yet and I can still release the trigger

    Another one down



    Now I have the fronts to do. I need half inch screws for the fronts and the ones i have are used and not in the best condition so i'll be stopping after work tomorrow to pick up 500 new ones for the front, and i'll use what i have to fill the voids when the 500 run out.

    Re: One down..

    You know you should switch to Coors Banquet Beer for the fronts to match the color of the screws....

    I'd need to get BEER (you remember the black label beer, all it said was BEER? ) to match the screws for the fronts, the new style Pro Golds are black! It's done, both fronts are now done and only 2 more beer cans added to the pile

    An erl + filter change tomorrow, gonna try and reload the Power comander software in my new computer and hopefully update the map with something winter friendly (more fuel please) and it should be ready to rock

    What little whiners - I did my tires on the dirtbike front and rear in 2 1/2 hours no blisters no locked up fingers. I had a good teacher though in my quest from completely mechanically uninclined to only mostly mechanically incompetent

    And good motivation to git r dun (Thx again Stoneman)

    It's a 2009 WR450. It's going to double as a street Supermoto and a trailbike for this season.

    The weapon you'll see at Loudon is white
