  1. The atlantic coast isn't as rough, but we still have our days. I grew up in it, and love it. The pay is awesome. Oil rigs! That must be interesting. How often did you get to go home?
  2. Ya, I see a lot of people get sick. Must not be to great. I've had people offer me a thousand dollars to bring em in. I just laugh and say " this aint no cruise son, suck it up!" hahahahaha. I love my job!
  3. I work on a lobster boat w/ a 5 minute break for lunch. I don't think I can get any time in.
  4. Stock pipes w/ stock gears will do around 74-76 depending on tires. Piped shees will do 85 w/ a 15 gear and 20" tires. Mines does 88 w/ 16/42 gear and 20" tires.
  5. My shee is 46 w/ +2. So +3 should be 48 depending on offset rims.
  6. My axle is adjustable and I keep it stock width. My backend is still 1" wider than my front. You don't want the back wider than the front. Think of a 3-wheeler. Then imagine coming down on one side from a jump. You want a wider front end.
  7. Depends on the brand. I want the 2+2 Roll design. Looking at $890. The cheapest I've seen is 470 for American star. Most of them are around 650+shipping and tax.
  8. I've seen them for $150, then you have to buy the arms for $700. D-arms cost $300. Depends on what you can afford. Fireball racing had some cool arms for the '88 and '87. Check them out.
  9. 0 psi. They don't hold a piston long enough! hehehhe I know, I used to own one.
  10. yup, they do. I guess they are suppose to be equivilent to the T5. Anyone own a pair to confirm this?
  11. Looking at the dyno chart for Mission Yamaha in DW. I'd have to say the bike was set up for desert. A lot of top end. Not much low end. Depends on your riding. If you do desert then these guys would probably be great, but if you do mx, trail, then I'd go with the race guys like LRD, PT, Denton, etc....my .02.
  12. Sand and snow have the same effect. Loose w/ no bottom (like most women )hehe I'd go w/ sand tires. I just bought some and will no in a couple of weeks.
  13. I still haven't been able to steer em w/ 4 ply tires though. If I can get that down pat, then look out.
  14. My buddy had the DG. In the winter snow would pack between the shock and skid. The snow would pack into ice and before you know it. He was riding a low rider. The suspension wouldn't come back up!
  15. HHmmmm............I hate skid plates. I rolled down a hill backwards and got a rock caught between the skid and sprocket. I rolled over backwards. I haven't had a skid on since. That was 8 years ago and I havent bent or chipped anything since. I might consider one if I did a lot of rocky trail riding, but thats about it. My .02 cents. hehe
