Almost. The carbs were kinda tucked in so it looked like he use a screw driver reaching the bowl and whacked it with the hammer.

I will show our welder the photos on Tuesday when I go in. We did just have a old Yamaha Venture the the guy thought the floats were sticking and whacked the bowls hard enough to put holes in. They were welded up.

If you don't find someone close to you, we can do it at our shop in San Marcos. D&D Cycle, we specialize in Dyno Tune, Road Bikes and Custom fabstuff. But since I started working there a few months ago and I'm into dirt and dual sport they let me loose. I can give 20% off on just about everything from tires, gear and accessories all the time. We have a tire and balance machine, small mill, pipe and tube bender. For all of my new friends here, even if we have not met yet PM me if you need something. Thanks Kelly

Hey I pass by from San Marcos to Penasquitos and would just like to see your bike apart since I have a DRZ also. We also have a race puller at our shop in San Marcos. Kelly

Working ok now. Kelly

Just recently I have a ton of problems with copying the photo links on Photobucket? Something about an Adobe update? I did a manual copy of one photo to post but when I wanted to copy another photo it keep re copy the other photo I did first. I want to pull my hair out. Kelly

For some reason I have to use my wife's computer to use photo bucket. It's new running Vista and open with Explorer. On my on one of mine with Fire Fox I can copie the photo but when I right click to paste here none of the copy,paste optitions highlight. What a pain.

This was in Taos New Mexico, what a piece of art.

Not mail boxes but kinda cool. This BMW was out in the middle of now where of Vermont. cool stuff. Kelly

GOPRO Is anyone using one of these? If so you do you think? Thanks Kelly

Not long ago I did a race report on my ride in Tulsa. I had a photo of basketball star Rick Smits riding a Husky. ESPN did a story on him riding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCYzJB4U6P8 Check it out. Kelly

Hi Christi, I rode with tntmo this weekend can I use him as a reference? I would like just to come and meet some more members. OK maybe bust out a few laps on my Hodaka since I have a race coming up Feb 8 in Arizona and have not rode it since about Oct. I also work at a motorcycle shop. Been married for 8 years and have 2 kids. I would love to have my 16 year old daughter meet some of you women that ride also, she will enter her first race also in Feb. My real name is Kelly

Hey I had a great time at Superstition over the weekend. I now fill like part of the group cause I made it on a ride with other members. Tom "tntmo" and Carlos it was nice to meet you. Hey the family ride to Painted Gorge was cool because all that area is new to me. Just a brief intro to shockandawe,bikeslut and trophunter as they were working on the flat tire. Also a nice little conversation and short ride with XTSteve also. I hope I pass the test and get to join in again. Kelly

Heading out now, be there about 3pm. 4.5 mile west side. I will be looking for some of you. Kelly

According to our camp director this trip we will be 1/2 mile west at mile mark 4.5. TNTMO I will come and try to meet you. This trip I will take a couple photos of our rig for future reference. Its a 30' Class A Itasca Sonova. Kelly

Craig, way to go. I'm new to the IBA and my straight run to the Golden Gate and back was a hard 18 hrs for me. What does TAPOT mean? I hope to go for the Butt Burner this year. Again good ride.Kelly

WOW the photos are great. The weather looked great also. I hope to hear reports from the long distance newbies that rode this many miles for the first time.

I saw a video on Thumper Talk that the guy used the GOPRO Hero wide www.goprocamera.com and it looked pretty good and only $200

I have camp at the South State camp ground, it has H2o and Power but no sewer. The North State Camp ground has no hook-up but a dump station. the fee at the camp ground gets you a beach enter pass. Flag on Bikes and ATV but didn't need on the truck. YES Speed limit on the beach but not in the dunes. The North Camp ground is about 100 yards from the beach entrance, to far to push a ATV so you would need to truck a ATV to the beach. WD40 is good and there is a Quarter Car wash close by also. We go a couple times a year, its fun for a 3 day get away, the sand is a little course then Glamis and its fun. This is what I can say about. Kelly

So I thought we would make a day run to Superstition and check out the lay of the land to know what to expect for next weekend. The famliy will be joining a group of old friends there and hope to meet some of you new ones. We will bring our 30 ft class A and so the road looked pretty good and looks like a good place. OK now for the ride, my daughter Kaylie 16 mostly rides the MX track or the dunes at glamis on her quad so this is new for her and for me I use to ride OW in the 80's. So we pulled up in the flat area in front of tower one, using the Crawdaddy map. Nice reception, Blue Angles show not bad Bike all ready to go, So we kinda rode along the base of the mountain and into the sand to see how this big beast will handle it. I must say not bad even with a Dunlop Trials tire on the rear. I need to confer with some of you other DRZ riders on suspension set up, I do have some heaver springs for the front but I have no idea about sag setting and where all the clickers are. This is how I got the bike After a little warm we decide we need to Adventure, so we will take the loop trail around the back, first stop tower one. Here we are on top, Ok now we go down to Pole Line Rd. We picked up a couple of the rusted sign but lost them after about the third one. Crossed the paved path to the 2nd tower and then 3rd tower. Kaylie is doing pretty good. Long stretch of whoops and we look for the cut over after Tower three. Here it is and here we go. I know what some of you Superstition Vets are prolly laughing, but I read alot of post and you all have alot patience. Kaylie blasting up some fresh smooth sand. I did have alot of thoughts running my mind on the back side, I left my phone in the truck was the biggest. My child is with me and even on this short I didn't fill prepared after reading all the stories on the forum. We were excited about riding, well its on my mind and the check list is started This is a great forum and I can't wait to meet as many as I can of you. Thanks Kelly One last photo of Kaylie

Our family will be out there Friday to Monday. I hope to finely be able to meet someone from the group. I'm not sure where we will be camped. Kelly

I just thought it was cool that I had my photo on the front of a event Tee Shirt. Check it out. http://www.wischt.com/HD8-Bullfrog.htm

Bike Bandit had a bunch of parts listed for your bike, Also when I had a 1972 AT1 I got parts from Speed and Sport Inc. They have the largest Yamaha NOS part inventory in the USA. www.speedandsport.com I will be stopping by Escondido Cycle Supply this week and will check if Scott has a pipe for your bike. I have a couple plated Hodaka's, maybe sometime we will get a vintage trail ride together. Kelly
