    Purina diet

    Yesterday I was buying 2 large bags of Purina dog chow at Wal-Mart, for my dog. I was about to check out when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think, that I had an elephant? Since I had little else to do, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, and that I...

    Carb Leaking Gas

    Usually if it's not the float set too high or sticking, it's the jet seat. In a pinch you can gently fix it with a drill bit but, I recommend getting a new one. During all the jossling of riding and transport, the jet rubs against the soft brass and cuts a lip into it.

    Wanted

    I tried to post in the wanted section but it wouldn't let me for some reason. I need a rear grab bar and some front fender supports.

    FAIL

    Yup. Just ran the piss out of it, in one gear! The piston is in a paper cup, it's mostly little bits and powder.

    FAIL

    Friend of mine built a Banshee for a guy who has no knowledge of anything but wanted the baddest Banshee to ride. The guy ran a few tanks of fuel through it and took it to the flat track races. He let one of his friends take a lap and apparently the guy doesn't know how to shift. This is...

    The Hurricane Shee with big azz mud tires *Video*

    I agree, that thing sounds really crisp. I've avoided the Banshee because it takes twice the components but I may reconsider. One thing I overlooked though, it's probably a smooth power unlike a single cylinder big bore.

    Busco today

    I LOVE this place! I shot a ton of helmet cam footage and it's going to take a while to process all of it. btw=They fed us all for free. BBQ pork, venison, collard greens and black eyed peas, bunch of other stuff. It was wet and there were a lot of places we couldn't reach but hey, no dust...

    Namura piston

    Got a replacement Namura piston in and it's not like the OEM model. It's got higher intake windows, reinforced crown, and a place milled on the exhaust side of the crown that advances the exhaust. Anybody ever seen one or used one before? We cleaned up the ports on the cylinder and after bead...

    Blaster surprise

    I promised some pics and you guys seem to live on them so I thought I'd better get it done. It's really nasty here right now but it occurred to me that I copied the craigslist pics when it was for sale. http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff387/TonyHarrell/DSC_0004.jpg...

    Thieves stuff them all in a porto-potty

    I've been the victim of thieves several times. I finally found a way to get the pissed feeling out of my system. Here's what I do. I'm a landscaper so I have a ton of stuff on my trailer that's irresitable to thieves but it's all locked down, except a gas can prominently placed. It's 3/4 water...

    Blaster surprise

    Went to the Yamaha shop yesterday to get some jets. From what I've read on here I bought 270,280,290 and 300 jets. FMF Fatty, K&N filter, air box lid removed. Started with the fat one first and didn't go anywhere else. Runs like a top with a 300. Didn't do any plug chops because we had too...

    Blaster surprise

    Well, I thought I was buying a roller that I was going to put a bigger engine into but turns out it just needed a piston. For $275 I got a 2000 Blaster with a few aftermarket things and in really great shape. The piston was junk, it had been seized. Aluminum all over the cylinder walls...

    how to properly remove weeds from your yard

    This video is better. I have a 1992 CR500 as well as a 1982 Cr480 and a 1971 CZ380. Big bores are a blast to ride. I've seen most of the CR500 videos if they've been tagged correctly. This is one of my favorites.

    Blaster brakes and keys

    Picked up a 2000 blaster sunday. Gonna need a bore but that's not what I need help with. It's missing the mechanical caliper on the rear and there are no keys. I'm just getting started with blasters and I found out the newer ones had hydraulic rear calipers. Need someone to point me in the...

    Thanks everyone. There will be at least 3 more riders at your next meet at Busco. The other 2 don't really see the value of forums but I do. Anyway, my buddy Sam (one of the others) called me from Indiana just now. He picked up another Blaster roller and 6 other bikes.. Apparently the guy...
