Hi'ya folks, long time-no chat!! :beer
Wow, it's been over 1 1/2 years since I was over here, so I thought I'd stop by to say hello. Those guys' that know me from back in the day might remember that transmission-eating, 1986 ATC 250R/Sabertooth 500R I had for a while, the 1985 350x I had where we shot it with nitrous on the chassis dyno and the other dyno run junk I submitted back then. :)
A lot has changed w/ me over the years, that's for sure. I sold all of my 350x 3-wheeler stuff (except for a number of 350x engine parts, heads, blocks, cylinders, engine's) etc. and sold all of my 250R/500R stuff as well. I would have kept all of that junk and kept on riding my 3-wheelers, (I like them best) but at 37 years old- and getting older, my body just wouldn't take the beatings much longer... :cry:
I bought a new 2007 Honda Rincon 680cc 4x4 and rode the heck outa' that thing for nearly 2 years, until I took a nasty roll down a huge hill in my local riding area (that I'd been up/down a million times before) that nearly broke both my arms and neck when I finally came to rest after going head-first into a car-hood sized boulder... The machine faired through it better than I did and it got fixed easily; but as you can imagine, I hurt for weeks thereafter, so chose to take it a little easier in life by selling the repaired machine before I killed myself... :rolleyes:
My wife and I had our first baby girl 5 months ago and she's the real joy of our lives right now! She's the biggest reason I chose to make myself ATV-less, because I just didn't want to hurt myself on accident where I couldn't be there for my wife and new little girl. Priorities changed in my life I guess... ;)
What's the "big" rage in the 3-wheeler World these days? :wondering
Is Billy still the Master of The Universe around here? :lol:
Sorry for the long post, but I just wanted to catch up with a bunch of you guys' I met here online a few years ago to just say "Hi" if anything. :beer
Take care! :)
