OT-The Mouse and the Motorcycle..
 

Well, thanks to a great RMD brother, the Mouse and I got to go try out
her new bike today. The first place we went was way too difficult for
us noobs so we headed off for the club where he is a member.

Anyway, the new TTR125 (small wheels, 14 and 17) ran pretty good but
we have some adjustments to make. Got some good pointers and ran her
out pretty good. We need to soften the rear end a little and tighten
the chain. I made some adjustments to the brake and shift levers the
other day, and they seem to work out pretty good. The Mouse really
needs some more work shifting. She tends to mark the clutch rather
than pull it in which is no so bad, but she tends to hang on the
throttle letting the engine wind up between gears. She also needs to get
a lot
deeper into the corners before slowing down, but that will come I
guess. The area we rode in today was part sand flats, and part fields
with some pretty washed out trails around. Being break in, I had her
mostly doing laps around the ovals and shifting up and down. Right at
the end of the day we could hear her coming up through some pretty
wicked wash. I wish I had the camera when she called, she was sideways
in a 2 foot deep wash with straight up side in front and behind. It
was funny to see her sitting there just like she was in a crate. Big
grin, here comes dad to save the day.. Of course then I had to walk
back too.


I got to ride the chaser bike (hard tail, old school mini bike
lawnmower engine, big fat tires) quite a while today. I was following
her around the laps prompting her through the gears and around the
ovals. Probably did more riding today than I usually do, but with the
flat tracks, it was not nearly as much work as when I ride the MX
track.. At least I got to stay on the ground most of the time;)


I think the guy who took us riding wanted to get out of there sooner,
and thought we would be better riders, or at least someone he could
have follow him around, but us and rocks just don't mix. It's funny
how we see trail guys come to the MX track and get intimidated.. Now
we go to the trails, and we are the same. Guess they are really two
different animals. Anyway, the Mouse loved it and wants to learn to
ride the washouts, hopefully we will get invited again, so if you are
reading this, she wants to know what we have to do to join
your club. And again, she says thank-you for the day, me too, I had a
blast...

Why don't you go find a motorcycle newgroup? I mean this isn't even
political which one could argue theoretically should apply to anyone.

Sounds like a good time! It's amazing the difference between MX and
trail riding. I used to do both and it's apples and oranges.

You are still reading the "****"? Why?


I check once in a while, using another reader that is not filtered, just to
watch the antics of the resident, hypocritical, loudmouth.
He's sorta like the Dems right now ..... frustrated and in desperation mode.
It's comical to see him recruiting his pals from:

alt.machines.cnc
misc.survivalism
rec.boats
rec.crafts.metalworking
alt.impeach.bush
alt.usenet.kooks
alt.abortion

and a couple of others, trying to stir up crap.

Then, he complains of "Off Topic" posts. Hehehe.. what a jerk.

Nobody here has badmouthed him since the experiment you initiated started.
No insults, no responses to his trolls. Yet, he continues to babble away,
mostly to himself now, hurling the familiar personal insults, even though
nobody addressed him.

As he would say,

"Delicious"

Hehehehe.

Ahh, the only newsgroups on that list I subscribe to are rec.boats and
alt.impeach.bush

A post headed "The Mouse and the Motorcycle" certainly is appropriate
for a newsgroup titled rec.boats

BTW, Jim, got a more recent photo of that old, clapped out boat of yours?

Not so fast please. "Jamesgang" happens to be one of our more
knowledgable powerboat maintenance experts here and rarely posts off
topic about anything.

You may not like his advice but I believe it was offered in good faith
and should be considered as such.

It is a mistake to think that everyone is interested in the same
things that you are. Let's try to keep it about boats most of the
time and set a good example for others - for the good of the group.

How are things going with that "boat turning" project ?

Yeah, but he has been somewhat abrasive to me in the past, I don't
know what his problem is, but I doubt I will be getting too much help
from him if I run into a problem...

I thought it would be a great change of pace from the machine gun
crosspost fest we were suffering here... My example is sticking to the
agreement I suggested monday, formerly being one of the easiest
targets...

I noted earlier that I was waiting for a couple guys to come by,

Ok, "maybe" I was wrong.. it might not have JG that gave me ****
before... and looking through his recent history, he has not been
involved with the recent cross-post, cut and paste fest so far.. I
will open my reader to him again, and see how things go. I just
thought it was silly to bitch at me for a friendly OT post, clearly
marked OT, about something many here have conversed with me about here
in the past, and nothing about the unmarked trolls, lies, insults,
vulgar, bull**** that is rampant here lately. And to suggest that the
present malicious, trolling, insulting, intellectually dishonest,
juvenile insult fest was of interest to more of us than something
genuine, is just silly...

Of course, we all know that. Put the primary perps in your kill file
