    I can finally ride the Tri-Z

    It's been dead since I picked it up back around August. I fought a fuel pump the last couple of weeks, until someone sent me one yesterday. It runs pretty good, got some leaks to fix, but all in all, I am very happy that it didn't blow up! Now I will try to get some photos next week at the Oregon gathering.

    So I rode it around in a horse manure dump, just to say I can ride it through shyte.............and that's all I had nearby to ride.

    A big thanks to everyone that has tolerated my stupid questions, and helping me get this thing going. It's not done, and not sure if it every will be, but I want to ride it and fix or upgrade things as time goes on.

    Yeah, I was told that might be a problem. Thus far, just the rear fender decals seem to like to mess with me. I'll enjoy it while I can! The do look cool, but time will tell how they work out.

    It's got many a flaw, so it's not too nice to get dirty. I have seen many on here that have their own unique "coolness" to them, including yours. I just did things as they popped into my head, and if I could scrape up the money. Now it's time to get it dirty and enjoy all the work it took to get to this point.

    Hmmm, not sure if that will happen or not. I have some samples made up for a brushed aluminum headlight housing, but I don't know if I can have it ready in time for the trip.

    This is who I purchased the rear tire and wheel package from:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ITP-BAJA-HD-HOLE...QQcmdZViewItem

    I went with a Honda bolt pattern, and purchased hubs for the Durablue axle that fit the Honda pattern. That way, I can swap out tires and paddles between my 3 different machines.
