New World Datsuns...

Still hurts. Right at the top, but been walking since. That first day was intense, after that its been manageable. But then again, they gave me some pain meds I ran out yesterday, and its been thorn in my side since.

So i welded in some D clips to the bed. Makes it easier to secure my bike. they are small and pretty much out of the way, won't really get in the way when I haul other things. Got a four pack at home depot for 5 bucks. Rated at 300lbs worth of load. however... They say you can screw or weld these and the strength will depend on your screws. I welded them. I'm sure i could put a lot more than 300lbs worth of load on these. I ran a nice bead around them.




While it's loaded up. I also can bungee my ramp to the same spot to keep it from sliding out the back. Before I used the bed hooks to mount my bike sideways and was able to shut the tail gate. however, they seem to want to pop off for some reason. Bike got dumped once, and that was enough for me to put in the D rings.

new tire

Trying to negotiate a deal on this. Its an 88 CR125. Better shape than mine. To bad it didn't come up for sale when I got mine

Fuck shit. He sold it for 25 more than my offer

So... Ma foots been bugging me. Ive had injuries before, and this just didn't seem right. made a trip to the DR last night (the medical doctor, not the nissan dr lol). They did a cat scan xray this time. Turns out my foot is broken in two places

The heel. And then where your tendons or what not come off your leg onto the top major bone of your foot. Well, instead of the tendons coming apart. it broke off the top of my foot. That would explain the pain. Its been bad enough after a few hours of work I can't focus as its pretty intense. I don't have insurance, and can't see a specialist. He gave me some non-narcotics (about 10 ) and said good luck. Fuck, thanks buddy. lol

Damn Tim,take it easy on that foot man.
Bullshit on the doc man

Got all my gear ready to go. Should be leaving in about a half hour. Bought some honda racing mix oil and premium gas instead of using cheap 2 stroke oil. Also put that new tire on. can't wait to see how she does!

Didn't get many pictures. Had a blast today tho. Riding boots made a big difference. I had to have a hand getting up one hill, it was just too much. The next hill... He said it was a little tricky but fun. So they waited at the bottom and I went first. It was probably a quarter mile with some switch backs, But hills on both sides. By the time I got to the top I was shaking lol. I think from the adrenaline. My bike bogs a little at low RPMS. So i have to keep the rpms up and clutch it. Ass end was just sliding every which way, catching air too. Just got the rpms up, slid/leaned forward and hung on for the ride..

Got about 3-4 hours of riding in, came back to the trucks to get a snack and a sheriff pulled up. I left my tag at home and my buddies was expired so it was the end of the day. Can't wait to go again!

Not sure why -- those pics just make me wanna shoot guns.

Lol yeah. It's fun shooting out there! I have found a few spots to go shooting and not cause problems. To bad half the pics aren't showing up meaning the right half

They opened up the pipeline recently. But are getting ready to shut it down again. People keep dumping trash and shooting the trees up there.

Fuckin savages.

How much was this bike izzo? (If you care to say..)

I don't mind

I paid a whole 250. Cleaned the carb. Had a new air filter on it, flipped the reeds, installed a new tire it came with. has aftermarket renthal bars, aftermarket rotors, new pads. Its a sweet deal at 250 and I got a deal at that. Probably worth a little more now that it's been cleaned up and gone thru. Just needs jetted, and it'll be tip top (oh, and its about due to have the rear shock re-charged, only about 20 dollars at the local bike shop)

it's a blast. 80s bikes can be had without breaking the bank. Mikuni carbs ftw! Pretty easy to figure out. 2 strokes are easy to work on. 4 strokes take a little more time but they are OHC like a datto Look around, snag one up and lets go riding!

Awww... it's all arone in my gayrage.... Better go get it a friend to hang out with...

Swoopin this in the AM

Nice! You sure it has enough stickers on it?

I know right. Ah well. Its an 89 CR80. Trading a ruger P95 for it. My only real plans is to wash it up and sell it, trade it off. Probably pull the bark busters off for my bike and the handlebar levers... It's way to fast for my kid. He's never ridden. and that would have no problem sending him to the hospital. A 80-100 4 stroke bike would be perfect.

But until it sells. I am going to clear off a few branches in my back yard so I have a straight shot into the neighboring field. Gonna rip it around the yard a little lulz

you need a 3 wheeler
