I'll be packing for the Sicily Island race.

It's all Heads Up!!! Just like outlaw racing should be.

Weather permitting a few of us are planning on coming up.

RDZ350 I was just checking on Weatherbug and they are showing partly cloudy with highs in the 50's.Where are you located in Ark.?Do you guys have any good spots to ride?We have one spot called Black Island that is about 20 minutes from my house with lots of sandbar along the river.It has one spot that is really smooth for a little racing about 1/2 mile long.The total length is approximately 1-1.5 miles long with lots of climbs.Bom comes down and rides /races with us sometimes,maybe sometime you might want to check it out.

Depends on the weather. If it's decent out ..... I can show you what a V-force is supposed to run like.

JUst grab me and you can take it for a spin. It is black with Ohlin shocks. I whore my bike out big time.

I've actually had trips ruined because I got beat.I'm trying to get past that.No real sence in it.

I hope you get it lined out.We put the pro-wedges on the wife's banshee today.Do I hear race?LOL!hr>


Yep, if you aren't loosing then you aren't racing anyone fast. Plus, it takes time to get a new combo dialed in right.

Got that right.Gillam's going to throw sand at me and who knows how long it will take me to get all the bugs worked out of the banshee when we get it going.



I am still sorting out all the bugs on the kawi and I have not sprayed it yet. Just about got the carbs dialed in and almost ready to spray it. Should be a bit faster than last time out now that I got the carbs working right. I am still embarrased about my last time out there....
Now let's just hope for some decent weather.

i would like to check that out sand bars ,larry {santa}rides a banshee talked about it i believe also .

Posted by: bonebreakers

check valve adjustment very possible ,if ones to tight valve willnever close all the way to give you compression.. just my 2 cents
well is any one going down sat ??? if your losing oil its not valve adjustment

Posted by: bonebreakers

Posted by: bonebreakers

well i think the kid knocked you off the thrown{again,again,again..} ....lolol hey its all good alot of good racing today.....cant wait till some out of frames..

Posted by: RDZ350

I'm planning on going to St.Joe March 4th if the weather cooperates.Sadly,my bike won't be done,but my wife will have her banshee and I'm probably going to borrow my brother's v-force.Anyone else?

Posted by: RDZ350

Fine!"SNIFF,SNIFF!"If you don't "SNIFF!" want to see me.Then Fine!BR>LOL!!!!Hope you have a good trip BOM.Think you'll school those boys this time?

Posted by: RDZ350

If everything works out,we'll try to be there around 10:00

Posted by: RDZ350

Looks like my brother and his' son are going too.So if the weather cooperates,we'll be riding a:v-force,banshee,can't remember what his' boy's bike is,and probably a grizzly.I might see if I can borrow my friend's KFX 400.We'll most likely be coming up in a red dodge dually pulling a white 24 foot enclosed.

Posted by: RDZ350

I see you're from Portageville.That's not a real long trip from me.Have many places to ride around there?I figure since mine will be a drag bike now,that knocks mine out of alot of places most go.Hope to see ya at St.Joe.

Posted by: RDZ350

Most of the pictures I've posted was to just see what it looked like.We did work on it today.The wife was alot of help.We have the a-arms on and torqued.The steering stem,radiator,and front wheels are also installed.I hope to install the over-ride tomorrow.
I ordered my Marvin Shaws from K&T today.Yarnell(marvin shaw) told me the wait time for a set of shocks is 3 weeks.So,I'll probably have them in a month.Hopefully,I'll have the bike completely together and waiting on them.I figure I'll be breaking it in with the struts.

Hungover?Did that honda drive you to drinking?LOL!

Posted by: RDZ350

I actually think you'll beat her banshee.It has Toomey T-5's,vito pistons,and K&N filters(no air box).It runs good.I just think you'll be faster.Win or lose,I'm just ready to have a good time.Been way too long since I've been riding.

Posted by: RDZ350

Her banshee weighs 386 lb's.I weigh around 200 lbs.I'm no light weight either.
Last year I was at a track in TN.and a friend of mine actually won(I think) because he's a big guy and could get more traction.They was giving him a head start because of his' weight.My banshee was blowing the tires off.He could ride a wheelie nearly 3/4 of the way down the track.He was on his' YFZ.

What's the weather stations up there saying it's suppose to be like saturday?

Posted by: RDZ350

I live in Paragould,Ar.It's close to Jonesboro if that tells ya anything.It's in the upper northeast corner.I can be in Missouri in about 10 minutes.Our riding areas is almost nothing.There's sand creek.It has a bluff people try to climb.They actually had a guy walk off of it one time due to a bet.Surprised it didn't kill him.It's basically a creek with some trails.No real good places to race at.There's a path down the middle of a field people race at,but you're really not suppose to be out there.I would like to meet up with you guys sometime.Have you heard of the park they started up in Poplar Bluff?I think their website is www.bricks4x4farm.com

Posted by: RDZ350

On the 4-strokes,isn't there a certain pattern the spaces in the rings have to go?Might try just replacing the rings.Make sure you use new gaskets.

Posted by: RDZ350

The weather I've been looking at says saturday's weather isn't going to be very good.I probably won't make it.Hey kickn',I hope to have mine up there in april.Don't worry about beating me.Just all the sand you'll be spitting after I blast by ya.LOL!!!!!
