Re: Maple Hill Loop Saturday 11/17

Any thoughts as to what time we would expect to be done? Doesn't matter a whole lot, just trying to keep Jessie in the loop so we can figure out Saturday evening.

Re: Perry Saturday

And after 47 years of marriage to the same person (what are those percentages? .02%?) I would add that when your wife crashes you might just shut your mouth completely. Stu This might be the best advice yet Stu! If I don't say anything, then I can't say anything dumb, lol! Last night I got the kick...

Perry Saturday

Went out to riding out Perry Saturday, and overall it was a nice day of riding. Except for the past where Jessie rode her bike off an eight foot ledge...see photo. The impact must have knocked some gunk free in the carb because the overflow now pours out a steady steam of gas. She was pretty shaken ...

Re: Tire. Is it trash?

No longer an issue. It was flat when he went out this morning. I think the bead year must have exposed metal and punched the tube. Thanks for the help though anyway guys.

Re: Tire. Is it trash?

Thanks Troy! You are the third person to give me the "ride it" advice. I look forward to my 38.17! Shoot that is a whole new tube and a meal at Sonic! I love me a good cherry limeade slush! ;) Seriously though, thanks for the advice. It is peace of mind for us when multiple people, with more experie...

Tire. Is it trash?

So, I was helping my brother (FosterBum, aka Chris) change a tire last night. I use the word "helping" a bit liberally though. He got the tire on the first time only to find he had pinched the tube. I stepped in to "help" at this point. So, we got the tire almost on but used a crappy iron and it fol...

New Rider :D

I finally got my wife on "her" kdx 200 last weekend! It went really well, after the part where she almost started the day by riding into a giant rock, lol. She missed it and needed a while to calm herself down but aside from that it was a great day. She went down most of the trails at Oakland. Nothi...

Intriguing, but I'll stick my gas guzzling engines. Cool concept though.

Re: Small Engine help

Thanks guys. Bought a new blower and finished yard work. Then went back to "fixing" the old one. New spark plug did nothing. Starting fluid doesn't do anything. I am thinking I may have terrible compression or an ignition problem. I have a compression tester so I will check that out this week. I sti...

http://www.f0ster.com/2012/10/disney-ok-orv-park.html There it is guys. That's all my photos from our trip. Way to many as usual but if I spent more time editing then I would have less time for riding and I see that as completely unreasonable :lol: It was a great trip. I enjoyed meeting everyone and...

Small Engine help

25cc BVM200VS Poulan Blower Help So, I spent the evening tearing the motor on this hunk of junk down to piston in one hand and cylinder in the other. I checked everything that I could think of. I was out using it and it died. Thought that it was just out of fuel. Refilled with 40:1 and tried to keep...

Re: October 26-28: Off-Road at Disney, OK

I already made multiple of you! You can borrow one. I have been screwing things up out in the warehouse and then leaving the card board cut out near the mess, but behind a few pallets so it looks like you are hiding. I also have a few of you napping that I leave places. You didn't wonder why you had...

Re: October 26-28: Off-Road at Disney, OK

I was bringing a sleeping bag anyway just because my brother is a blanket stealing whore who can't be trusted to leave you any blankets. If I am wrapped up inside of it, then it is at least harder to steal :lol: Also, my boss seemed receptive to the cardboard cut out idea. He asked some weird questi...

Re: October 26-28: Off-Road at Disney, OK

I will grab some fire wood as well and throw it in the back of my pickup. I won't have a ton but I should be able to get at least enough to subsidize what we already have coming down.

Re: The trails were hot today...

I tried to pull that show up on youtube. It didn't come up, or I didn't use the right search terms. I guess I will continue to be clueless. I have never heard of that show. I'm sure it was a touching show about two heroic brothers who saved a riding area from the grips of a terrible blaze by peeing ...

Backpacking style. Dirt, stirring, and minimal amounts of "available fluids".
