Did it again
Well I screwed the pooch . My new 4x4 quad now has a hole in the crank case . Now how did I do that ? Just doing a little cleaning and tunning letting it idol a little it threw it's rod and piston punched a hole in the crank case . I was kind of feeling let down . Sitting down and thinking it's time for three fingers of Jameasons Black label and had a small stroke followed by a “little ” hart attack . O.K. I'm not phis capable to replace this engine any more . But I do have a buddy “Matt” who can do the work ,,, If I am there ,,,,,,And if I hand him a beer every few hours {or faster if I can} The only problem with Matt is he will insist on adding a turbo . You can find him on his youtube channel Madd Boosting .You know ,,,,,It's been a while since Matt and have sat and had a beer ,Or three .
What brought Matt to mind is he called out of the blue last night to see how I was doing . Last time I saw matt he was trying to stuff a ford 302 with twin turbos into a datsun 240 z . Hint not enough room . Matt is the guy that got my last bike's {honda 996 and Kaw 1100 ninja } I couldn't use my legs any more and he like's to go fast . Matt is the only guy I personally know that has gone over 200 , I chickened out at 170 . I watched a highway patrol turn in front of me to chase him then turned off his lights and made another U turn , gave up and went on to town as Matt was more then 20 miles ahead and still going away .
It's funny ,, But somewhere around 160 or so you're mind starts thinking “if i crash I might live though this and not want to” every stone , every pebble every flaw in the road grow's into such importance , the worry that I might have missed something in my maintenance is such that I will never be the one to hold bragging right's on being the fastest . But other than a few like Matt I am faster than any one else that I have ever met . Being fast isn't good enough you need the skill's to keep it together . I was never the one to run at Bonniville salt flats ,,,, But i was there with some who did . Yes I did envie those that could forget what might happen and push though . But I always have the worry of what might happen . So maby you can understand my disgust with myself not realizing that quad motor being ready to go .
