Just wanted to say HI to all my DRN buds.
I haven't been around here in a long time. Been to damn busy! :bang:
I have had a year to remember.
It started out with a nasty fall last christmas eve, hip swelled up like a watermelon after landing in a rock garden at high rate of speed. I was ridding over my head trying to stay in front of Thumbs on the bad ass 200mxc of his. :ride:
I just want to say he has come along way since our first ride together.Keep up the good work brother! :cool:
I was getting over than when another nasty get off left me out of commission for about 8 weeks.
Mxdigger and I was just fooling around out at Phelan on the big sand hills. We where bored with all the normal trails going up and down, so we started trying to make it more interesting by finding the hardest way up. Well I was going up this one path and it was all twisty and real steep when I caught a rock with the front wheel and just launched into space. I am telling you it catapulted me at least 10 feet straight up in the air and I ended up about 25 feet up the hill from where my bike came to rest. Scott said it looked like I hit a land mine. Well the shoulder made such a loud pop that I actually heard it! Tore the bone right off the shoulder blade. So now I have a permanent hump on my right shoulder and it is still weak.
But with all the down time, I dove into getting my fledgeling Vintage YZ business started. I now have a pretty decent line up of parts for the 81 and older YZ`s. I have reproducton stock size fuel tanks, fenders, seat foams, covers and even new FOX shocks. In fact in this weeks Cyclenews there is an article about a big vintage race at Rio Bravo Texas, the 355 bike that Brian Myerscough is riding is my bike and so is the one that Donny Cantaloupe is riding in the pictures.Thanks to Thump and Okie I have a decent web site too. Check it out X-tremevintageyz.com
Well the need to have parts made led me to buy a CNC machine and dive into the machine shop business, after 6 months of neutering it is starting to come around. We are making those TRU-TECH clamps you might have seen in the magizines lately.
The seat foam side of things is really going off, I make about 75 to 100 foams a week now. I have a whole line of vintage seat foams ( and adding more all the time ) plus a line of atv foams also. As far as I know, I am the only manufacturer witha tall foam for the 450`s from Yam and Honda.
So that is why I haven't been around much lately, this is allot to accomplish and still work a full time job!
But I really missed all you guys at dirt week this year. Hope to make it next year. I cant let CRswade and Bluethunder go another year with out a beating in the team Harescrambles race! :laugh:
