I always have a huge supply of those charcoal filled heaters- they go in the boots and the gloves, and no problems.

Hell, they sell them at 7/11 here right on the counter year-around LOL! :laugh:

I don't care what anyone says....I wimped out and got the warmest socks and boots I could......WigWam socks and Sorel boots.....

And, battery-powered socks just in case.....

And, disposable toe-warmers....

And, reusable hand-warmers....

And, just installed heated grips.....

And, battery-powered gloves just in case.....

And, I do the "put the gloves over the exhaust" trick....

And, I got the Carhart coveralls rated down to umpteen below 0º F......

Ya see, I don't _mind_ the cold, I just HATE _being_ cold!

Sorry to hear that Bot!!!! My Dad has been fighting for his life for almost 2 yrs now....He is starting to Lose:frown:
Sorry to hear that MWKE and StoopidBot. Also know how you feel about cancer as I lost my Dad to it in July!

Bot...MWKE...BB, I'm so sorry to hear. I have never lost anyone to cancer, although both my dad and grandma have had skin cancer...and my other grandma had a brain tumor they thought could be cancerous that actually did kill her....

I feel lucky to be one of the few that haven't experienced a true loss to cancer.

I hate any disease in general that takes the lives of the ones we care about.

I hope from the bottom of my heart you or any body else will never lose any one to cancer. !!!!!!!!!!!

My Dad has it right now. He is doing good now I just don't want him to get bad. He has colorectal cancer and is not going to have surgery. He is trying a Homeopathic treatment.

I am trying. Thanks BB.
No Thanks needed. I watched my dad fade away from cancer, during a 19 month battle. I know how you feel . PM me or we will try to set up a chat sometime. The above goes for you MWKE and / or anyone who is or has lost someone to cancer.

My Dad use to say keep your chin up and keep on going(one day at a time). Sorry to rant but this topic really hits me hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate 20 degree weather. It makes it too cold to ride.

I hate not being a millionaire so I have to work and can't ride and race all year round.

I like the millionaire comments I so feel the same way. I would like to have a place where we could have people come and ride and host some rides for people with special needs or monetarily challenged.

I can't imagine how you guys pull that off. We were just in a meeting at work talking about budget and stuff. It is scary times. We have had a few people at our church who are in a very bad way. It is time to buckle down until the economy can recover.

If racing ruins your NAD bearings, I think I'll stick to trail riding.

I agree, I wanna keep my nads intact!

Wheeler, the sad thing is that Kristin and I spend about the same on our toys each summer, we don't do 20 races!!!

Posted

that number i said before...that doesn't include the fuel for our wheelers, the food for the weekend, or if we have to stay in a hotel (like the further GNCC's)...or the time off from work we'll lose in wages, well Nick anyways....if I figured all of that in we'd probably be at about 7 G'sssss.....

and we can afford it because we have no kids, just puppies..we don't own our house, we rent...and in our area, rent isn't too expensive (we pay $400 monthly for a 3 BR 2 BA mobile home), and we both have pretty good paying jobs, especially for our ages. But, last year we only did the one GNCC so this year will prove quite the challenge. Anyone who wants to send me some money I'll slap your name on my quad and you can be my sponsor baaaahahahahahhaa :) :) :)

      Hello all! I’m new to the 4 wheeler world, but not new to the mechanic world. I was a diesel mechanic for many years and last year got into jet skis. I just bought a 1987 Yamaha moto 4 350 and now learning the ins and outs of 2 stroke engines. Looking forward to learning all the things.

      Hi all - I recently had a shop fix this quad and it hasn't been right since. The jug was resealed as it was leaking, the rings were replaced, and the valve stem seals replaced. Shop said the cylinder walls were great so nothing was done there. The motor still smokes, heavily on startup and all but quits once warmed up. Enough that I can live with it if I can fix what I came to ask about. I mentioned this work because since I've gotten it back it seems like it has power but tops out at a much slower speed than before. It's old so I don't have a speedo but I pulled out my phone at it tops out at 25 mph. I know before the work, I was getting up to 45+ mph... It's so bad, my 10 year old daughter is pulling away and straight leaving me in the dust with her governed Polaris 90.
      Given the work done, what are some thing I could be the cause of such a drastic difference? I immediately thought timing but the marks appear to match up with a youtube video I found... no idea if it's correct though. It sat in another shop for 2 months and they gave me an $800 quote just for the starter... it pull starts fine. 
      FYI: I would take it back to the original shop to figure out but I had some issues that make them a no-go for me.

      If you had to choose one mod that you couldn't live without, or had to recommend one what would it be?
