Mangled the front rim of my 24" Dirtbike while hitting some guy head on at mach 10. Somehow the dumbass managed to go around the "Expert Section" at Ray's the wrong way and I slammed into him going into the 2nd berm on the approach. Hit him hard enough I knocked him down and he ended up with a flat front tire. I started to feel bad until I realized he was on a rental bike and it was his damn fault. His first words were I guess it's my bad. Was I on the wrong path? Moron.

Put the front end of the FBM back together and swapped my Challenger for an older Enduro.

Started stripping paint off my fork and bars from the FBM. Hopefully will finish them up in the next day or so.

Does the front foot get close on them big bikes?

I haven't had any issues. I'm running 180mm cranks too. However I do ride left foot forward and x-up to the right. I'm too much of a puss to try barspins, so as far as I'm concerned the foot/tire clearance is good.

I'll blame the patches leaking on my impatience and not letting the glue set up properly before inflating.

I feel ya, that's how it is down here in Mexico sometims! I threw away so many tubes back in the day before I realized patching works great.

I only patch in an emergency. Whenever I'd try to patch to save a tube and continue riding it, the patch would always fail at the most inopportune time. Yet I had friends that could run tubes with a dozen different patches and never have any of the patched areas fail. :dunno:

I had a Carlos kind of night. Was going to go for a ride on the DB24 and discovered the front tire was flat. Drove to the bike shop and got a tube. Installed the tube and headed out. Made it a little over a mile before I heard a hiss hiss hiss coming from the back end. Ran over a fucking nail just long enough to puncture the tire/tube. Since the puncture was so tiny I was able to make it home before it went completely flat. Went back to the shop and bought two tubes, installed the rear tube and decided to drink beer instead of going for a ride.

Put some old pegs on the Dirt Bike and did some manuals and 180s last night.

Finally decided to investigate my severely dragging bb on my FBM. Pulled out the left bb cup to find rusty water in the bb shell and my inboard bearing on the left side was seized. Thankfully I had a usable Euro in my old cruiser frame. Threw that in along with a new chain wheel and some stickers. Need to ride it now.

Spun the back wheel on the FBM on my way out of my bedroom.
