RIPPEN Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 Friday around noon I left Colorado to head out to KS to get my engine from Jeff at F.A.S.T Racing. I had talked to (Tyler)Loco a few weeks ago and he had said to stop and meet up since I was gonna be so close. Sounded like a great Idea so I stopped by his place saturday before heading to Jeffs. Tyler showed me his toys and let me ride the "craptor". That thing was like and I couldn't get over how clean it was. Guy does awsome work. Checked out the swingarms he is starting to build and they looked awsome as well. After that we BSed for a bit and check out some vid. It was cool to meet up and I had a damn good time. Thanks Tyler After that I headed over to Jeffs shop. He was just finishing up the engine when I got there and it was cool because it gave us a little bit to talk. Damn nice guy and I learned allot from talkin with him. He was really thorough with any questions I had and he was great to deal with. Wished we could have had more time to BS but the guy is definatly way busy! Just wanted to thank both of you guys for you time and knowledge. Looking forward to meeting up and riding sometime Excitement on the way home: After leaving Jeffs we headed back for home. We were about 6-8 miles out from Salina Ks when my dad and I got behinde a drunk driver. After seeing him almost run off the side of the road a couple times(clear to the grass at 80mph) we called the HP. Dispatch said there was a trooper a couple miles up so we continued to follow this guy. His speeds ranged from 60- over 100 and was all over the road the whole time. I stayed between 60(as to not get to close) and up to 80 to keep the guy in sight. We finaly passed the cop and I flashed the lights to help get his attention. The cop then came flyin up around us and got behind the guy. Followed for about 20-30seconds and almost got hit himeself. He then hit the lights and the guy began to slow for a second like he was gonna pull over but then he took off. We figured it last about 10-15 miles at speeds 75- over 100 and it ended with what looked to be a nasty crash. Side swiped a car and then there was also a truck that looked totaled. Not sure all of what had happened since they were all going much faster than we were and we didn't see the end. Curious to know what ended up happening so if any of you are from around there and heard what happend(hope no one was seriously hurt), please let me know. One things for sure... It was crazy to see.. Sorry so long.... RIPPEN Quote
