I don't run a sway bar. I had an opportunity to buy one for cheap, and passed on it. I can hang with most the guys, but I don't bother racing competitively. The ice around here has been too iffy the last few years to put that kind of time into it. hell, tomorrow and tuesday they're calling...
In the winter I can hit the rev limiter on the river (where I took the videos I posted). There are some good straightaways that really allow the bike to stretch out. It's not much, but with the right people it can turn into a really fun time.
it was at the beginning. They where just heading out, and I decided to follow them. Wasn't really anything other than 2 85's and a 125.
I just swapped out the sprockets this morning, should make up for the rear 18". I'm just not used to running an 18" tire on the ice, so 5th gear feels short...
Well the new Cheng Shin C826's I bought are Bias Ply. The normal operating pressure is around 10-12 psi to make the tire have a nice profile. I normally wouldn't run my tires with that much air due to ballooning, but these things seem stiff, and I like that!
Here is another little clip from...
Yeah it's a river. I took some other footage today, just haven't done anything with it yet.
My fronts are still just stocks. I'm too cheap to buy new ones when these still work. I'll get 21" next year.
After todays 4 hours on the ice, I can't believe I haven't went this route sooner! These tires are where it is at. These things hook like no other, and that is with only one stud per lug, with 3/4"-1" of snow on the ice.
Here is some raw video I took with the gopro this morning. I was trying...
I was running .5-1 PSI in the rears at the time. Im just assuming they folded over due to the lack of pressure and the studs poked through. Surprisingly enough, I didn't pop the bead like I told one of my buddies I thought would happen. I was hooking up WAY too good for something not to...
Well, I got all excited about a month ago because it finally seemed like it was going to get cold enough to ride on some ice! I went out and bought 1250 1" ice studs (AMA Gold) for a good deal. I have an extra set of tires I normally run just for ice (My stock rims and tires) and they have...
Yesterday I broke a record of mine, I threw up, being sober. First time I've gotten sick in over a decade, and boy I don't miss it. I ended up getting the flu, and tomorrow is my birthday! I don't know if I am going to even head up north to go hunting.
Hmmm, that's interesting. Guess things over there are getting pretty slow? I actually got an email from them yesterday talking about entering for a chance to win a Yamaha Raptor .... Things must be real rough over there if they're raffling off a Yamaha ..
Mine used to do that, too. I don't think it does that any more for me though. It would get very annoying!
Basically, when it refreshes it shows the old stuff from the top of the box, instead of the new stuff at the bottom of the box.
