I rode my bike to work today.

Have questions about the event or the area? Want to plan a ride in with others who are coming? Here's the place for it.

I use my motor to act as a brake and gyro in the corners and hard on the gas out comes from years of running under powered bikes on the track easier to control the machine then on and off the brakes but the sudden up take of the clutch into a lower gear to stay in the power band produced by the cams and the smack of back on the gas out of the corners will work your basket loose HUH WTF. Anyway I am back on the road for the remander of the season and then this pig is getting foggers into the manifolds 25 hp (12.5x2), (thanks to Bill) heavier clutchs and tighter suspension and ported and polished with larger valves if money is avalible.

There is never any thing fickin easy about working on the truck.
It's a Dodge 2500 with the heavy duty package, 4WD, full size bed with the extended cab.
I've replaced just about every thing on the front end.
upper and lower ball joints, tie rods, rotters, pads and one caliper.
Just finished it up to night.
Thank fucking God, what a tough job it was.

I never heard of such a thing? the basket getting loose. I do a lot of hard engine braking
and never had a problem.

I will send you an email.

Bill glad you got your truck rollin that type of work is a mother fucker nothing wants to come apart. I dont know what I am going to find but no one else has had a problem with something coming loose so Tina has the brain child you might want to take that piece of shit apart and find out what they rigged up before it comes completely apart away from home. Her fear is I will burn that bitch to the ground if they have to tow her again its that violent nature thing we have discussed before. My fear is when I start taking bolts out I wont want to stop till I get the cases apart.

I'm an avid engine braker too, and not a light weight... No tranny problems here. Mine's an 02, what year is yours?
02 BA, lots of goodies...
I may live in NY, but I grew up in VT! I'm a local for this one...
