    You're most embarrasing ATV moment.

    So, after doing an invoice for all the money I've spent on my 200sx, I feel I have spent way too much on a very simple problem. It all started with the rusty head, fine, I bought a new head, no problem, no spark, fine, new CDI and Coil, still nothing, low compression, fine, new cylinder, still nothing, at this point(bout a month ago) I was so angry, I said FINE, new motor....

    So the motor gets here, I install it, and to no avail I can get it to start.... My dad says, try the key that came with it.... Put the key, turned it on, *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* if you know it, starts on the first pull.

    How much was this little fiasco for me, $1242.73, I spent $1042.73 on a bike I paid $200 for. All things considered, I have an extra motor, extra cylinder/head, 3 CDI's, 3 coils, two mufflers, exhaust pipes, so I guess if it ever breaks I have a lot of parts .

    Oh yea, and that key, came with the other motor, wouldn't you know it, I spent $472 on a key .

    I went riding at Ocala Nat Forest with Allen and some other people. Its got 'woops' that looked like fun, so I decide to hit them with the 86 250SX I had at the time. I hit them WFO coming downhill and the back end started bouncing side to side. I ended up eating dirt and scratching up some brand new plastics. Nobody saw me till a kid yelled "Hey look! He wrecked!"
    Embarrasing part? We just unloaded the machines and I wasnt even 5 minutes off the trailer and already wrecked!

    Mine was about 10min. ago. I bought a 400ex earlier this week and it had a dead battery, so i had to charge it and didn't have time all week to try till a few min ago. I couldn't Fing wait! I drive across town where i store my toys, hook the battery up and dang if i didn't forget the key. So now i'm alittle pissed, i drive back to my place and i can't find the damn key anywhere. I go back to the lot and figure out how to hot wire the stupid thing. I finally got it started and jump on wide open down the street. I get right in front of the only people around and BANG it dies, no power. I look behind me and my battery fell out and took half the wiring with. I forgot to strap the mother freaking thing in! I'm realy pissed now! I has to push that P.O.S. uphill for a block and a half then up a 70 degree drive. Then go back and pick up may busted ass battery and wiring.

    The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it.

Mind you I was still going almost wide open so fast in fact that mike turned around and saw me flying through the air yelling OOOOOHHHHHH FFFFFFVVVVVCCCCKKKKKK!!!!!! he speed up and I narrowly miss taking him off his trike!! I land in the sand roll a few times and sit kinda stunned... the trikes front tire was almost completly under the sand sitting on its side, I had a helmet full of sand, and a very fun memory..... dammed tree.

    I once ran over my own leg while doing a stand up wheelie. Don't ask me how because I have no idea.

    First tiem I met CHAINSAW, Okie, and a few other guys at Little Sahara. I was on my 85 R. I was in a nice wheelie 4-5 gear flying down the sand, in half a second later I was doing an endo in the sand. Picked myself up about 10 minutes later we started jumping soem big dunes. CHAINSAW and a couple others were jumping big. I got into the act and was jumping with them. We were stepping off the jumps and were landing about 60-70 feet out. CHAINSAW got a huge jump. I was next, went clear up the next dune and came down and hit the jump wide open chainsaw said when I flew by I was about 8-10 feet above his extended arms (his 6'4") I got it turned sideways in midair. When I landed I barrel rolled, broke 2 tires off the beads, bent my bars like an old 10 speed bike, broke both rad. shrouds, and a some other stuff. I limped for a couple months after that crash.
    I had the RIGHT to remain silent, I didn't have the ability!

    When I was in high school we were riding with the local hotties and came up to some hill climbs. Nothing real challengeing just some very neat speed climbs that you could get big air off of the top. I had my eye on one of the girls for some time and the testosteroin kicked in and I started getting higher and higher off the top of them. When I thought I had enough air I went into freestyle mode and was doing some splits in the air. Stretched one a little to far and splt my britches from my ankle to my hip. Needless to say this was first thing in the morning and I had to ride with my junk hanging out for the rest of the day. I gues I did not impress cause I never got the date.
