Sounds like fun to me, right about now!Originally Posted by knappyfeet
One more idea that is popular here, due to the enormous amount of traction control they put down, is an invisible bra.

Currently stuck on the floor. My back just completely gave out and I had to get carried in the house. I can't even crawl.

Sorry Fabs, but the thought of you texting while being carried on a stretcher just made me laugh (sorry again)
Lower back? Happened to me a few years back, pretty much paralyzed for a day and a month of rehab. Whatever they offer you, take it all and do your best impression of Oliver Twist when you ask for more
Hope it's not too serious

Wish I knew of one for you Homie, but all that comes to mind is an enclosed trailer behind a beater truck. There are clear films that they apply to the from edge of car hoods if you really serious about these rides.
Ran into a gust of nasty sand around a buck fiddy on my GSXR when it was still showroom new. That left a lot of marks on the fairing, headlight (and my neck) and convinced me to toss my K&N filter (ram air) rather than clean it. Can't imagine what a few hours in sand would do to a bike.

That type of wear and tear just proves it's not a trailer queen. Wear it with pride.

Here's a simple fix for worn kick starter shaft boss in a clutch cover. This is off my 1981 YZ465 Widomaker. These have so much compression that they wear out the hole in the clutch cover and can also break part of the steel kick starter shaft, both of which happened to mine, so luckily my 1980 YZ465 came with a spare engine that had a good shaft but a bad cover, soooo, I had the kick starter shaft hole in the cover bored out then had a bronze bushing made as thin as was reasonable so as to maintain as much strength in the cover as possible. I had it made with only around .001" interference (press) fit te reduce the chance of the cover cracking, then had the id machined .00075 larger than the shaft, and whala, even better than new because the bronze will wear far more slowly then the mag case will.
Since it would still be hard to kick start this harbinger of doom, and the stock compression can still break the kick starter shaft, I had the head machined for an "automatic" compression release. This is the same style that is used on some chain saws and other small engine power tools, and you simply push the button and it locks into place to open the valve, then when the engine starts, the compression is then high enough to automatically close the valve. Unfortunately, the decompression valves for the chain saws etc seem to be poor quality, and I read about some failing and dropping the valve into the engine and f'ng it up, so I did a Google search and found one company that made them in the US out of all stainless on a CNC machine, and they were selling them like hotcakes to people that have high perf Harleys, so I got one from them and it was only around $25.00.
I then had the head machined for it but had to remove some cooling fins to make room for it, so I made some some fins to add to part of the head to compensate a little for the fins I had to remove.
I hope to have this monster done by Tuesday, and may then take it out to the next vintage race next weekend at Perris and attempt to race it....providing my health insurance is still active and I don't wuss out.

I almost posted that right after he posted but I thought again. I'll never keep anything flawless, never have.
As far as my back goes, I was swinging my light maul right to left at my feet just above ground level knocking firewood loose that has frozen to the ground. I wasn't straining or swinging hard, just the wrong twisting motion. I stopped what I was doing and sat down on a lawn chair. I was barely able to get up out of the chair using the table as support and once on my feet I couldn't support myself unless I had both hands firmly on the table, so I couldn't move from that spot. If I tried to lift a hand to start moving in the direction of the house, my back would give way. My friend was here and saw the whole thing. He had to carry me into the house and I sat down on the couch. It took me probably 15 minutes to get off the couch to the floor, then 15 minutes to get out from in between the couch and the coffee table and laid out flat on my belly. Then I was at least not in pain.
After a ten minute struggle I was able to get on my back, then I was able to begin moving some stuff and assessing the damage. I had to low crawl flat on my stomach to the bathroom and drag the front half of my body into the shower just far enough so my tallywhacker would clear the threshold, then take a leak. Then I crawled back and continued stretching.
About that time I thought it may prove difficult heating a wood heated house when all I can do is scooch around on my belly, not to mention feed myself. After more stretching I was able to crawl and squat, kinda. I pulled myself up a stool and made it from the bathroom back to the couch on my feet using the stool as a walker, but I can barely move the stool to take it along with me. I can't pick it up and move it, and I can't slide it sideways (twisting), so I have to kind of drag it. I was upright for that voyage though.
I have all night to stretch and meditate, focus some energy. I have awesome purple weed, some high end essential oils in the diffuser (that's not Marijuana related), a cat that's looking to hang out, and all the YouTube anyone could handle. I'm going to do my best to sort this on my own but if I'm still on the floor Monday I'll probably go get an MRI. I think based on the improvement already I might be stronger than this.

Possession of personal amounts was decriminalized in 1976. Medicinal was passed in 2014, recreational is allegedly on the agenda this year.
Nobody "owns" me. I'm free to go work wherever with whomever I wish. This might come as a shock to you, but I quite enjoy the home I live in on 6.5 acres of wonderful wooded peaceful (for the most part), unless I'm shooting target practice on my backyard range or hunting on my or my neighbors properties.
I also enjoy having the ability to travel about three miles down our road, without getting hassled by the cops, to get on the local ATV/Snowmobile trails without having to load my sh!t on a trailer.
Meanwhile you remain a slave to a state that constantly rams it in your arse dry with a little Glamis sand sprinkled on for a little extra friction. Enjoy!
Until you send me a pic of the palm frond lean-to you live in off the grid you are owned by your local, state and federal government. But then again if you were truly off-grid you wouldn't have a phone, another item of just another version of slavery.
