3 NUTS! You have another operation?  | ||
| Luvthemtorts |
I got a friend who has a groin hernia so I call him Kenny 3Balls. My riding got sidelined for a bit. I thought I escaped softball but got asked to work with the local team going to regionals to fine tune fielding and batting. I am truly flattered and honored but kinda torn since it runs through the end June and I'm gonna miss some good riding. | ||
| Nutsosane |
I was just gonna invite myself to do some fishin with ya. Coach Jackie strikes again; man you got some awful bad habits.  Racing again this Sunday. I've got my Pop acting as crewchief so that ought to be worth an extra 5hp. NUTS | ||

Nuts, Does dude still have the Gemini? I know it was like a year ago but didn't think it would hurt to ask. | ||
| Nutsosane |
It wasn't a Gemini; it was a Prophet and no; he sold it like a year ago. | ||

Race report #2 is up at the link. I'm feeling pretty old today with aches and pains to rival the Turtlehugger. http://twinvalleyriders.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f= 5&t=3236 NUTS | ||

Great job Nuts........what's the saying.....No pain, no gain. I'm seeing alot of pain, but also some satisfaction.Ride smart....I'm proud of you. | ||
| Luvthemtorts |
Got to take the youngest daughter to the pond today and she hammered the Largemouth. I think she'd give some people a run for their money casting so she must take after her daddy. She decided to name her rod Lucky Louie. Proud Papa right here boys. | ||
| Cyclonecharlie |
Happy Father's Day Jaxson.....Nuts you have a good day too. Your lookin pretty good in race trim. | ||
| Luvthemtorts |
Thanks Charlie! Hope you had a good one as well. Didn't do too much. Me and the kids went snake hunting and then watched some scary movies which suited me just fine. Nuts, Give me your Paypal address so I can get you the funds out for the mountain bike gathering dust in your garage  | ||
| Nutsosane |
If you can fit on it I'll sell it to ya. I'm taking "day 3" of the racing class today. Probably be too sore to type this evening. NUTS | ||
| Luvthemtorts |
Nutso, Hit me up when you get a moment. If memory serves me correctly its a Cannondale (Prophet maybe?) with the Lefty or am I waaaaay off base? I think even being an XL it'll fit with a shorter seatpost. | ||
| Luvthemtorts |
Thanks for the help Nuts! Done deal. I went for the Trance and am, for the most part, pleased. Its an ugly ass white and red which kinda sucks but, its pretty freakin' plush which is what really mattered. Thanks again buddy | ||

NUTSter's bringin home a new toy today.  Pics when I get em. | ||
| Nutsosane |
Two minutes after being home. NUTS  | ||

Nuts, now you have hit on some of the most fun I've ever had on two wheels. A Trials bike is the "bomb". Riding that thing will make you think you have a lot more talent than you ever thought you had. But it is sooo addictive. STAY AWAY from trying to climb rocks with it.You and the bike will get seriously hurt.Other than that....enjoy the h3ll out of it. | ||
| Nutsosane |
 Charlie, I hear ya with the talent thing. I bought a 2001 Scorpa, it has a Yamaha 250 2stroke engine. First 2 smoke I've ever owned and the manual says to mix at 80:1 Previous owner ran it at 50:1 and all the moto guys run 32:1 whatcha think? It sure is a lot of fun and doesn't tear up the yard! I gave $1700 for it and feel like I ripped the guy off. Here's to hoping the bottom end doesn't drop out.  NUTS | ||
| Cyclonecharlie |
Nuts, whatever you do.....keep this bike. It will put a smile on your face every time, even when your having a terrible day. My choice of two stroke oil is Maxima Caster 927...best I've seen. I mix 4 oz. to a gal.(32-1)but for a trials bike I'd go a little higher. A thing to remember....the more oil you use the leaner you are running your engine. Assuming the person that had the bike, had it jetted for his ratio so check with him. Keep your fluids(trans. and clutch) fresh.Air cooled eng. get hot and your not passing much air with a Trials bike. Don't ride it fast....it's not made for that. They are fun in the woods and climbing creek banks...no jumps. I am really envious right now. | ||
| Nutsosane |
Thanks Charlie, It's liquid cooled with an electric fan. Just in from a short ride around the house. I built some log crossings this afternoon and was NUTS enough to clean one several times. The other is going to take a few days worth of gumption. I keep eyeballing the creek out front too; I know I can get across it. I'd rather not bottom out the shock in the process(did that once yesterday.) Off to work tomorrow but I'll be back on the bike Tuesday. I've got The-Raven coming over Wednesday to give it a go. I bet he likes it! | ||
| Cyclonecharlie |
The Raven is going to be drooling....I didn't know they were water cooled..that's great...The one I was using was a 1972 350 Bultaco Sherpa T...strickly air cooled.Probably a good bit heavier than yours, but what a blast. | ||
| Nutsosane |
The_raven invited himself over Sunday to play on the Scorpa. I think he liked the intro he got on Wednesday. The creek has been jumped and climbed and wheelied through. 180 wheelies have been attempted, bunny hops successful. Photo proof next time. On the way up the driveway I was riding a cracker of a wheelie. So good that I forgot to put the wheel back on the deck before running into the wall! Sore shoulder and bruised knee. I need to keep this thing in the grass. Hope to be back on it Wednesday. NUTS | ||
| Cyclonecharlie |
Nuts, Just because its easy to look spectacular on your new toy.....doesn't mean you stop using your head....jeesh man.They don't make enough protective gear for those kind of moves.  Ride safe man...your my only source of action shots. | ||
| Nutsosane |
Charlie,I took the bike in to have the suspension serviced today. A week off ought to be good for my shoulder. Give me some time to find and bury an old tractor tire in the yard. NUTS | ||
| Cyclonecharlie |
Nuts, I hope your just gonna plant flowers in it. | ||
| Nutsosane |
Going to see the ortho today. Shoulder feels awful and I'm not happy. NUTS | ||
| Nutsosane |
Traumatic Bursitis. A shot and I feel NUTS again. Should be loosey,goosey in a few weeks. Next race is in Martinsville on the 14th of August(shortly before my 35th birthday) and I'll be ready for another 6th place finish. | ||
| Cyclonecharlie |
Nuts..........How in the heck did you get sooo OLD. When I left you were just a kid. | ||
| Nutsosane |
It ain't easy being NUTS! | ||
| Luvthemtorts |
I finally made it up Mill Mountain today. Love passing a personal milestone !   | ||
| Cyclonecharlie |
Jaxson, I am very impressed that a man your age and medical issues can still muster the courage to attempt such a feat knowing very well...........the ridicule you would suffer if you failed.(there were witnesses right)  And I assume all your style points were accrued on the way DOWN the mountain. |
