  1. I very strongly second this, myself and my buddy both went down on that same bend, heading down the hill. Those corners are super smooth and slippery.
  2. Me too Mike. I am seriously considering this bike next year. Don't think I could get one this year even if I wanted.
  3. Yay, I'm in. Looking forward to it and catching up with everyone, been way too long since I made it to one of these.

    Hey!! I know that guy on the right. :)

    Oregon Roads

    I think they call it "Rattlesnake Grade", it's just NW of Hells Canyon. Thanks for the feature Miguel. :)
  6. That looks awesome Rob. WOW!!

    Yeah that was a good day, but I'd have to agree the herd was a bit of a "hairy" moment. haha sorry that was bad. What was it with the four legged critters on our trip down? They must of "herd" we were coming and were out to get us. OK I'm done.
  8. It has to be Miguels, what happened?

    Yeah it does Keny.....mines the middle one though Thanks for the feature Rob. :fing02:
  10. Oh shit man, that sucks, after all the hard work you put into that bike. hope you can rebuild it and somehow find a way to the summit meet too. But as everyone else has said, the most important thing by far is that you are still around to rebuild it. Yeah, go buy that lottery ticket.
  11. I guess I missed that talk, the idea of making an adapter and still using the stock mount never crossed my mind. I haven't put much thought into it, but I don't think that an adapter would be feasible. That makes for another bolt that could come loose or fail. You have to track down another bolt, my mount completely replaces the stock one and reuses all of the original fasteners. I'm not fond of adding another piece, more chances for failure. More than one way to skin a cat :mellow: As seen in this thread there have been several different methods shown that ended with the same results. Zach571 I like the look of your bracket and not grinding down the bolt head is a plus! Are you making more? I can, I won't be stocking them on a shelf though. Made to order. Zach571 If you could let me know how much and availability, I'm interested for sure.
  12. That would be awesome earache, the drawing there though is for a fourth gen bike, we or at least I need one for a fifth gen, I think the size is a little different, but really sure of the size. Does anybody else have the correct 5th gen specs.?
  13. Thanks, but I couldn't wait so I bought a mount and I already have my shock. I got as far as measuring and drawing up the stock mount, just haven't made up longer mounts yet, or the flats to have them cut out on the laser :blink: Once I'm done with it I'll one for sale, and as soon as I get the new shock in I'll have another useless one :blink: I need to either look at my notes or read through this again :fing02: to see what kind of dimensions worked for others and then I was going to make a few mounts, in something like 5mm increments. I'm hoping to make it along the same design of the stock mount, but tall of flanges are kind of limiting with the tooling we have for forming and also being that much taller it will need more support so it doesn't fold over... I don't think there should be any concern for the upper shock mount rotating. There are no forces exerting on it to do so and as long as the mount is tight... Zach571 I'd be very interested in one of your brackets when you get them made up. I have the shock already, it's just sitting there in a box waiting for the slightly warmer weather so I can get my ass in gear and do this mod. Please, let me know when you have some done. Thanks, Paul.
  14. Nice! Looking forward to the rest of the report, nice choice of music in the video too. Too funny though, my buddy and I stopped at that same River Rock Diner and had an awesome breakfast on our way back from our Laguna trip, a couple of weeks earlier than you though. :)

    Lolo pass

    Try to avoid visiting it when it's 40 degrees and raining at the sign, because by the time you get to the top of the pass, it'll be snowing. :fing02: Fortunately Missoula has motels with hot tubs. And clothes dryers. Mmmmm, clothes dryers. Last time I went over it was 40 degrees, 40 degrees C though :cool: , man it was hot in my leathers, especially as we got caught in traffic at the Lolo end. Hoping to hit it again this year on my way back from Laguna, that will make it three years in a row I'll have been, mmmmm, maybe have to hit another direction next year, mmmmmm S.E. for T-mac would be fun,mmmmmm..........
  16. I really like the colour scheme, and I'm sure it looks better in person too, hopefully at the Nelson meet, hint hint. not a big fan of the blue trim around the screen though, a little too souped up ricer for me. :pissed:
  17. It's funny you post this today, I went by my local Wal-mart yesterday with the intention of picking up there filter and all they had on the shelves were Fram filters! I don't know if this is just a Canadian Wal-Mart thing though.

    On way near Cochrane

    Yeah that's too funny, I had to look twice to realise it was my bike on the front again. :) A ride sounds good to me, I'm itching to get out, hopefully some time next month, by then we might be getting the occasional days good enough to ride.

    Lolo pass

    Thanks Mike Yeah it's called Lolo pass, Hwy12 it starts just south of Missoula Montana and winds it way over the Idaho border, if you continue on for maybe an hour you end up in Lewiston/Clarkston right on the Idaho/Washington border. Lots of great roads in the area. This was taken on my way back from San Fransisco a couple of summers ago, liked it so much I grabbed a few of my riding buddies and we headed back down there for a weekend last summer.

    Hey That's me trying to have a drink! That was a fun day. I wonder what happened to the guy on the cruiser that went down.

    Radium.jpg

    I had to look twice at this photo, I didn't think you and I had ridden to Radium before, Too funny, there's not that many silver 01's around . Beautiful spot to stop though isn't it.
