Hey, my daughter just called (I'm away from the house for awhile) and
said a Rowdy Mouse T-shirt came! She really, really likes it!! She's
very thankful to have it, so thanks, dude!
The mouse says "whatever..."
So she asked if you owned a race car, told her it was MX racing. Now,
here she is with both arms in casts up to her pits, and her response
was, "can we go to Conn. to go MXing?!!! That's my girl!
Tell here, anytime.! But tell here I require full pads, even a 96
degrees like sunday afternoon.. It's not reaally that bad, unless you
slow down And of course there are two websites she can visit in the
meantime.
RowdyMouseRacing.com is where we have a couple of vids
Some pics here http://trip-reports.com/coppermine/t...s.php?album=10
and this is one of the tracks we ride is
ctmotocross.com
Have fun, hurry up before we tear up all the equipment
She's got a lot of her dad in her, she loves speed. I've done my share
of MXing, I had a Suzuki TM250 among others. Of course my first was a
Honda Super 90, made for street but we used them in the woods.- Hide quoted text -

I like wrenching on them as much as running them. Same with cars. When
we had old beater bikes for the woods, man did we cobble some stuff
up!!- Hide quoted text -

Wrenching on these is the easy part. Finding parts that can be
modified to fit is another. We don't ride red, yellow, blue, green, or
$$orange$$, so parts require some r+d Actually the only new skill I
think I will require is welding, or just find a cheap local shop that
is willing to barter..- Hide quoted text -

Stick welding is pretty easy to learn, but if you are going to weld
aluminum and such, things get harder! I grew up in the country on a
farm, so when things broke down you didn't take it to a shop, you
fixed it yourself. We had everything but a machine shop, so that's the
only outside sort of work we had anybody else do.- Hide quoted text -

I would just like to be able to lay on metal, re-enforce frames, stick
steel to steel, etc... Aluminum and other alloy work I knew was a
little more complicated. Stick welding? Is that gas, like torches?

If you are going to put your kid on a motorcycle on which you did
welding, I suggest you get some real, formal training in the art. It's
very easy to learn how to do bad welds. Your kid could be killed because
a weld failed.

Aluminum and other alloy work a *little* more complicated?

snerk

You shouldn't be getting welding advice from an abject idiot like Loogy.
I doubt he can tie his shoelaces properly .

Hey Harry, how is the weather in your area? We are getting a new
furnace and AC unit installed tomorrow. My wife planted 2 ornamental
grasses today.

Let me know how things are going with you and your wife.
