You don't ever lie Ivan.........Right? At least that's what James said.Originally posted by Truespode
And for the JMX racing crew (James, Wrench, SpokerAce, Mike T and Dave) I am really looking forward to the hot Saturday nights racing under the lights and telling lies!
Ivan
That's right, you are a much better.............truth stretcher than he is. ;)Originally posted by Truespode
And you believed James? Sheesh... :)

Guys I understand your pain, holy crap he drives fast. :silly: :eek:Originally posted by High Speed Gomer
... The ride home from Augusta (90 miles) was kinda scarey because they kept getting behind me so I had to go faster to get out of their way! ...
Hmmm...sounds like Ivan was expecting more from the SSF than most people!Originally posted by Truespode
Well, first off... the fest could not have came at a better time! One more week and I probably would have just gotten out of the sport altogether and became a monk somewhere.
We were surprised to find puddles on the trails at Manchester and even more surprised to find a dry track at TNT!This past weekend we had the Suthin SF at TNT. Unfortunately, due to the rain the trails were closed so the SF was sorta fragmented. On Saturday a lot of people went to Manchester for some trail riding while I and the other half stayed and rode the track at TNT. The traction was almost perfect and the changes to the track were AWESOME.
Tooner was faster in the technical sections that required skill, but I did better in the wide open areas that merely required you to twist and hang on.I can't comment on the Manchester exploits other than the lies I heard from Gomer.
Faster than he lets on?!? That mouthy SOB wouldn't shut up about how fast he was. I'm pretty sure he was still bragging in his sleep last night!As for the lies... well, I'll be honest - Lemming is faster than he lets on (I am not sure but I think he was the fastest Spode out there),
I kept offering to help, but he wouldn't even let me in my own RV!After we got tired out we decided to watch MX Tuner throw a top end in _SOLO_'s yz125 in less time than it takes Gomer to drink one fermented beverage! I bet MX Tuner would have done it faster if he didn't have so many people talking to him the entire time.
I honestly wasn't expecting too much when he said he was going to cook ribs...I finally got one and was amazed. From now on I'm bringing a few dozen for him to cook when he offers.Saturday night we ate some of Linus' ribs that he cooked for us.
Ball? I didn't see any ball. Was it under Dave's keys?Thanks also to Gomer who picked up the ball
You've been getting plenty of practice for half of the schedule! :pI am really looking forward to the hot Saturday nights racing under the lights and telling lies!
I didn't get to see the two of you riding together, but when I was chasing James he was moving!Originally posted by James
Quote Ivan: "almost as fast as me coming back from a broken shoulder", correction: Definitely faster even though coming back from a broken shoulder. :confused: We need to get you practiced up for race season.
Huh? More details!!I did witness the best example of using a fence post to perform slow motion wheelies. Who says you can't learn anything from a new rider?
I tried to chase down James and was impressed with how fast he was going. I thought that I would get him through the whoops, but didn't make any time at all on him there. :( I then decided to try to cut inside two turns later and try to block pass him. I hit a wet, slippery patch on the inside of the turn and the front started sliding. When it hit dry ground again it grabbed and high-sided me over the bars. As I was going over I realized I was in a yard-dart trajectory, so I curled my body in a ball and rolled. It all happened slowly and I was laughing the whole time.Gomer did demonstrate the finer points of using the TJ Hooker barrel roll to execute an inside pass through 180deg corners. The key is to laugh really loud to distract the leading rider while your tumbling body completes the pass. This method does appear to be hard on the bike.
That support/brace wasn't really much of a load bearing part of the structure and I didn't hit it that hard!I also noticed that Gomer shouldn't be allowed on a quad anywhere near utility poles or other wooden structures.
Linus gave us all copies of the recipe Saturday night, but with the stipulation that we could never reveal it to anyone else. Sorry, copyright laws and all that, you know.Originally posted by MikeT
OK OK OK!!!!! I have been hearing about Linus's Ribs he cooked. What is the recipe??? I'm serious, I'd like to find out.

I was itching to get out of work Friday. Lemming and MXTuna both arrived in Augusta about 4:00. My boss came around at 4:00 and said we could all leave early! I met them over at the Walmart where they were stocking up on Geritol, Depends, and other senior items.
I'm NOT going to tell y'all what Lemming *was* going to use for numbers
Lemming is faster than he lets on (I am not sure but I think he was the fastest Spode out there)
Saturday night we ate some of Linus' ribs that he cooked for us. DAMN those were the BEST ribs I have EVER had. I am not a fan of ribs too much but I could eat those ribes 4 or 5 times a week they were so damn good. Mucho impresso!
Lemming didn't spank me *too* badly!
?? You still drinking that fermented beverage?Originally posted by High Lord Gomer
Mike: Talk about ungratefull...do you know how much work they put in to make those whoops just right? :confused:
