Well,, I'm glad to say the pain went away in just a couple days.. but the damage,, the bike developed surging issues which has me rebuilding this damned BST carb.. I'm really thinking about going to a real carb,, dumping this diaphram crap and going fcr.. will be test riding in about an hrs.. and I managed to break two rear spokes in the rocks.. Got the new ones on without even pulling the wheel off..
As for the Jeep,, picked up an 08 2dr,, and 6 weeks ago I put on a nice big rock bumper complete with grill guard.. good thing too.. the next weekend I had a head on with a deer.. 60mph and plowed into a large doe I think,, wasnt much more than a pile of meat when I was done.. but thanks to the bumper,, only minor damage to the jeep and we barely felt the impact inside.. The deer,, it flew 50+ feet into a blob.. looked like a semi truck kill.. I couldnt even save the tenderlions,,
I have a set of 33's for the jeep.. they will go on soon.. I hope,, its riding season,, priorities,, oh,, and now the wife wants to camp,, so I'm going this week to look at a pop-up..
It never ends.. I'll try to post up some pics soon..

Well,, had my visit with the Dr last week,, and told Him straight out what I've been up to on my "street bike".. He said its probably time to get back to the regular bike "so I dont hurt myself trying to fit the big bike where it doesnt belong",, so I'm putting the 97 back together until I can afford a new ride.. I might even get to ride it next saturday if all goes well..

Just to update this old thread,, I've sold my "street bike" the 625sxc,, back in september actually and at the time couldn't find a suitable GG 4 stroke ended up with a KTM 450exc that was at a friends shop all blinged out.. It took a while to come to terms with this bike. The bike was set up strange.. a rekluse pro-z setup for mx/supercross.. so no engine braking whatsoever.. Now I got that fixed just need to work on a stator issue and should be ok.. The GG was out for a few miles and blew a head gasket.. the heads off getting some work done.. hope to have that back on the trail soon.. I still have back and hand issues and some odd balance issues the Dr's are blaming on the head injury.. but this weekend was the JIm Thorpe Smoking Hole Rally.. a DS event I help my buddy with He hosts it every year with his brother.. put on like 40 miles saturday till my hands gave up then sunday I had to take a small group out and lead.. It was a rainy foggy damp cool day.. and I had a great day.. it all clicked and while not at 100% speed a few of the trails I was blasting down with a good size lead.. I have not lead any trails since the wreck.. I just have to say I cant wait to get my 2 stroker back!!
Oh,, another 35-40 miles on sunday with two of the nastiest hills we have thrown in.. starting to feel myself.. a couple more rides like this and I may start to travel to ride again....

If I can swing it cash wise,, the wife took a job that is 40% of her old pay and with the new manager at mine he has not ok'ed me to have my company truck 24/7 again. Driving a 600 mile a week commute on toll roads is killing me money wise. I'm spending $150 plus a week just to go to work right now. Once back in my co. truck and if I ever get my review/promotion I certified for back in august I'll have the cash to go to the races again. I'm hoping for a new manager.

I'll drive if I can fit three bikes and gear on the camper. Then again. I heard that there wee 300 entries so far and most of that was non-ECEA, so I think the normal nice campground situation will be a zoo. Usually I leave on Sat around noon, get there around 5PM, and get one of the last spots on the top of the hill. This year may call for a backup plan.

Go to Hancock with us this year on 8/6,7 then. That bike will be perfect for those huge hills.
