[QUOTE="High Lord Gomer, post: 1198269, member: 16469"] OK...I showed up and Ol89'r (BTW, for those that don't know, 89R was the number that Terry raced Pro Flattrack with for years, hence the name Ol89'r) was fiddling with the XR Valdeze outside the shop. I think he was outside the shop because the right carb was leaking on the XR350. He started it up and rode it around a little and he declared that "it doesn't leak while riding!", so we were going to take it and his CRF450R-x-ified. After more preparations he found that the XR Valdeze was living up to its name and leaking oil around the oil pump cover. Being the gracious host, he chose to ride his 93 CR250 and let me ride the CRF450. Riding Terry's bike was similar to riding Rich's, Eric's, or AJ's bike...everything works as well as it possibly could because these guys know how to make them work. Even a couple thousand feet up on slippery rocks with a chewed up rear tire that thing would wheelie as soon as the tire caught. Before we went out to ride I got to wander around the shop with my mouth hanging open at the ton of cool pictures and friends Terry has ridden with. I even managed to sneak out a 8.5x11 of Terry on his way to winning the Elsinore GP in the over 50 Expert Class. In addition to being a pro rider, he is also a pro with aluminum. There were several cool things he had designed, built, and sold over the years that he still had laying around. I want to be there when he and AJ meet because I swear they are they same person a few years apart...WFO with a smile and a hand out to help the rest of us. We eventually did suit up and head out to ride. Ol89'r suited up a lot more than me because he spends *A LOT* more time on the ground than me! It is such a nice feeling to be able to say that about someone...they crash more than me! We headed up the fire roads into the mountains and Terry did me the favor of going far enough ahead that the dust would be settled before I got there. He did stop several times to see if I had discovered an extra low-low gear on the CRF that he hadn't found before. I'm sure he was impressed that I could ride that slow without falling over. For a flat-lander, riding around curves with several hundred foot drop-offs was a rather puckering experience. More later... [/QUOTE]
