Title: When you try to lift up a barn board
Post by: EX#996 on April 23, 2005, 08:25:38 AM
in very windy conditions....


It can give you some nasty ass slivers......



BTW....  34 degrees and 33 mph wind gusts.  Steady winds at aproximately 20 mph from the NNE.  At least the sun is shining.   ;D

I bet with these winds, you could pick up at few miles per hour going down the front straight at Road America.  You may have to lean it a little to the left though.

Farm girls, God love 'em....  There's a reason so many sexy jokes are about the farmer's daughter, you know!

One day there was this farmer. He had 3 daughters and they each had a date on Saturday night.
The first date comes to the door. the farmer answers the door. The first date says, "Hi my name is Joe, I'm here to take your daughter Flow to eat some dough."

The farmer says sure. Soon the second date comes to the door, "the date says hi, I'm Freddy, I'm here to take your daughter Betty to eat some spaghetti." The farmer goes sure.
 ;D
Then the last date comes to the door. "he say hi, my name is Chuc-k..."The farmer goes "Get the hell out of my house!!!

Ya' know...

If you boys were so board today, you could have come and helped pull burdocks and thistles. Oh yeah, we took the old dog run down too and need to untangle the grape vines from the panels before we put them away.  Or, there's always picking up stones from the dirt bike track....  ;)

Next project is the old grape trellis.....

Dang, I'm tired already.

Laura wants me to roto-till a big chung of the yard for another garden.  I was saved this weekend by monsoons, followed by freezing temps.  Thank God, because I needed every minute for the SV.  It's still not done, and I have to ride it again Saturday! :o

I totally understand...

Paul's been doing a lot of yard work with the tractor and the ol' SV has been just sitting there...  waiting.

We're shooting for Memorial Day weekend at BFR.  Hopefully we'll make it.

They were dead on the back.  I topped out 2 sets of gearing there (had to make 2 changes to get a combo that wouldn't ping off the rev limiter by the flag).  It was nuts...

It made for interesting trips through the carousel... in with wind at your back, out with wind in your face.

My early braking friend was showing 193mph on his R1. (Onboard video) Figuring he was on a basically stock bike even with the speedo error, imagine what the Arclite Suzuki's were doing!!!
