Author Message   Sanchez Posted on Saturday, January 13, 2007 - 11:22 pm:        Dan, I'll call you tomorrow about the hand guards.   Shred Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 07:39 am:        B_S, I feel for ya.....I had to ride on the back of Gatordicks bike at the 1rst demos to retrieve a demo bike that went down. That wasn't a fun ride. Hope the bike is a easy fix.... Fran, sounds like we'll all be at T.W.O around the same time.   Black_sunshine Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 09:02 am:        Thanks again Sanchez for the rescue operation. I was only an hour late for the party. Bambi....Thank god you lost the photo. Sanchez.....that's bad news about my bike. My worst fears are materializing. I think it might have self detonated like Stealth's. Any ideas what it might be and where do we go from here? Cash flow is low so I might be in trouble for MBIV! Could this be the end of the road for Black_sunshine????   Bambi Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 09:14 am:        Could this be the end of the road for Black_sunshine???? Not a chance! Thank god you lost the photo. Yeah, you owe me $20 bucks, dude!   Bambi Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 09:21 am:        Romper Room Ride! Black, Orange, Yellow, Green, Red & Blue Yep, we looked like the Romper Room Crew! Xbullet, Glad you guys came all the way up to join us. Hope all the stop & go doesn't discourage you guys from coming up again. Beautiful Saturday afternoon, guess we couldn't expect NOT to have everyone and their Grandma out. Still hate we had some of those sweet sweepers stole from us. Still enjoyed it, guys. The more seat time I get on the rice burner the more I crave it.   Sanchez Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 09:32 am:        I'd guess it's either a shattered piston or a broken connecting rod. Probably the rod. We won't know for sure until we get the motor out of the bike. Just browsing around on ebay, the parts prices don't look too bad. Pistons: $100 Connecting rods: $40 Crank: $25 Cylinders: $25 We can't really assess the damage until we get it open though. On the bright side, if we do end up replacing the crank and rods, we could stroke your 9 out to a 12.   Sanchez Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 09:38 am:        > I might be in trouble for MBIV! Haha, don't sweat it. If you're still bikeless in March, I'll loan you the Nugget. Actually, on second thought, you'll have to ride the Uly. It's still under warranty, so I won't have to worry about the Curse of the Black Sunshine.   Glitch Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 09:49 am:        Damn that sucks out loud! Sorry to hear BS. Could it be the retaining nut on the primary? I heard those make a pretty big racket when they back off. Could be the nibblet pin came off the wobbler shaft...I know...not funny. I'm with Bambi though, we'll have you up and going for MB-IV if at all possible. MrsG and I are about to head up to take pictures, and show her around the Great North Georgia Mountains. We won't be on the bike, so if y'all are up, keep an eye out for the truck. I know it sound sacreligious but my hand has felt real bad this week, it's kind of got me paranoid. Going back to the doctor's on the 24th. Hope to see y'all up there, if we meet, I can get some action shots of y'all if you'd like.   Duc_htr Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 10:22 am:        DUDE BS... that sucks... wish I coulda seen the bumpin uglys picture of you and Sanchez though... did you ride backwards BS? lol... no worries about MBIV... you can ride my bike if nothing else works out!... you're probably gone but I'm bringin the camera too... I am also thinking about making a promo video for MBIV... although I won't have my video going this weekend... its off for a whitewater rafting trip I took... but the entire setup screwed up right before we got into the boat so I had to forget the footage... it was fun though... alright fools... I'm goin to start my baby and ride her for the first time in months... see ya'll there...   Viki6 Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 10:39 am:        You guys have fun today, I have to work. I thought I had to work yesterday so I didnt ride. I didnt end up being on the schedule, but then it was too late to catch up. Still only have -200 miles on the new bike. Who's riding next weekend? Jack and I put our Valentines Day gifts to each other on layaway yesterday. Im giving him a M1 Super 90 Benelli 12 guage. He's giving me a pistol grip Mossberg 500 20 guage. We'll be having a trip to my parents in Yatesville to shoot soon and have to go past a little country restaurant named Buckners on the way. Anybody interested in trying another shooting day? It's a 2 hour ride one way on the scenic route.   New12r Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 10:44 am:        Damn BS!! If you need any help lemme know. Just for piece of mind, I would not buy a used cylinder, unless you plan to bore it, and then yours might still be good. I wonder if your oil pump drive gear took a dump?? You did just change the oil right. What was happening before it quit??   Sanchez Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 11:02 am:        > Could it be the retaining nut on the primary? That was our first guess, but the nut is still firmly in place. > What was happening before it quit?? A really loud clanging noise. It was so loud I thought *my* bike had broken! I don't think he lost oil pressure because the engine would still turn at first. It rotated a couple of times and then stopped after we got it to my house. It feels more "jammed" than "fused" if that makes sense.   Xbullet Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 12:03 pm:        hey everybody, nice to meet ya'll yesterday. i'm goin out to do it somemore today!!! Bambi -- little brother, stef, and I had a blast with everybody yesterday. parts breakin' and stop and go are just part of the adventure that is what we do. we'll definitely be back Shine -- you looked cute up there on the back of the uly. i'm bringin my camera from now on. in the meantime, maybe the old 3% shoot 'em up needs to happen. great way to relieve stress. AR's and 870's make for great watermelon killers.   Mountainrider Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 04:59 pm:        Great day today. Had a lot of fun.   Mountainrider Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 05:01 pm:        JC on his new Uly. We took turns blasting sportbikes with it. This baby is fun.   New12r Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 05:31 pm:        Mountainrider, good to see ya postin over here again!!!   Glitch Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 05:39 pm:        Mountainrider, Shred, Duc_htr, Buellish, Sanchez, and Fran_dog, it was good seein' y'all! MrsG and I had a great time, even if we were on 4 wheels.   Mrs_glitch Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 05:48 pm:        Ok...I'm just about ready for March Badness IV!!! Got me a riding jacket & gloves from She Rides at T.W.O. today, got me an Arai helmet and some boots...now we just gotta put the foot pegs on and I got to figure out how to stay on the back of the bike when it's moving. Found a spot that I will definitely be closing my eyes while riding on back of said bike. Had me a BigA$$ burger at T.W.O - Buellish, Duc_htr & Mountainrider - it was good meeting you guys - always nice to put a face with the names. Shred, Fran-dog, and Sanchez - as usual it was great to see you guys! Is it March yet?!?!?!?!   Ulywife Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 06:03 pm:        I got to figure out how to stay on the back of the bike when it's moving Get Glitch to buy a Uly!! I always felt like I was coming off the back of the M2. I love that backrest on the Uly. I can just sit and relax.....except on roads like that! I found out I'm not a twistie queen - I like the long sweepers much better. Looking forward to meeting you in March. We really had a great time last year. Kristi   Mountainrider Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 06:28 pm:        I love the Uly. We took turns riding it today. It might be the most fun ride I have ever ridden.   Mountainrider Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 06:48 pm:        This was nice.   Glitch Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 07:13 pm:        Girl friend is kinda on the skinny side don'tcha think? But with that gun, I ain't sayin nuthin...   New12r Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 08:01 pm:        I need that for traffic!!   Fran_dog Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 08:02 pm:        Great to get out with and see some of the 3%er's today and ride. It's been too long. " Could this be the end of the road for Black_sunshine????" B_S: No way, no how that will ever happen.   Glitch Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 08:39 pm:          Sanchez Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 09:13 pm:        Guys, I had a blast riding with y'all today. I hadn't realized just how long it had been since I'd ridden the hills with the true hooligans.   Sanchez Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 09:17 pm:          Duc_htr Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 09:22 pm:        alright dirty... no pics of you till you post pics of me... I had a blast today too... it was great seeing all of you and riding with some 3%ers again... I will be out and about over the next couple of weeks a lot as my girlfriend is coming in town and she really wants to ride in the mountains... hope to see you guys around again soon... Can't wait for MBIV...   Sanchez Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 09:23 pm:        Fran, check out Shred's foot position in that first shot of him. Turning his heel in toward the bike allows him to put his knee out and shift more weight off the side. I think that's the missing ingredient to popping the cherry on your knee sliders. Of course, you could also employ the Sanchez Technique and break both sliders in at the same time along with your arm and the side of your bike.   Sanchez Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 10:03 pm:        > no pics of you till you post pics of me... lol, no pics of you till I get my MB III hat!
