Franken buggy revision 85673A

22”-23” it will ride even nicer.

22's are very plentiful for either 8 or 10 inch rims. What size are the rears on your kart. Sounds wound up pretty tight, like it would easily pull more gear or taller tires. 22's compared to 20's would give you about a 4.5 mph increases in speed, and as noted by Denny a smoother ride. Not to mention a little more ground clearance. Doubt that you'll find any scrounging on the mountain top. Going to have to buy them (probably). While you're buying things, let me suggest that you show the Grandkids a little love and order a $29.95 upholstered seat cover from Jegs or Summit. Now that it looks like seat time will be considerably longer than on previous outings, that bare plastic seat is going to get real hard, real fast. Ask me how I know. Just a mountain top fan trying to offer a little fanly advice.

I have one, actually. I took it off when l hosed off the oil mess. I have’t put it back on yet. Honest!

i’m too cheap to just replace good tires. that’ll havr to wait while the old ones wear out.

I think I might have brought this up once before ( A long long time ago ), but that automatic position reporting system, as well as the two way radio. Grampa, I'm lost and the engine quit. Don't worry young man, I've got you located on my magic gizmo and I'll start walking towards you right now. How far away do you think you are? That's why this old fool ( me) bought a cushy mini bike with suspension front and rear. Plus I don't have the magic electronic gizmo. A trails type motorcycle would work just as good. I didn't own one, and wanted something simple that anyone could ride.

I remember (vaguely) being a 16 year old kid spending the night alone in the desert lost, out of gas with a dirt bike, all cuz I took a wrong turn.
At 2 AM every sound is either big foot, space aliens, or giant scorpions. It wasn't much fun. Cool technology didn't exist, come to think of it, technology didn't exist....
I was found at dawn, only about a mile from where I needed to be.

 

[panchothedog]

Glad to hear that Big Foot never found you. Otherwise !!!!!!!!!?

 

[Master Hack]

Thanks!
I was more afraid of the scorpions. Bigfoot just rips yer head off, so its over quickly. The Scorpions spear ya with that thingy on the tail. then they slowly eat ya, like some kinda BBQ skewer.
Then the aliens, they take ya apart slowly to see how ya work.

So yeah, not a fun night.

 

[Denny]

Just build a fire to keep the wolfs and coyotes at bay and relax for the night.

 

[Master Hack]

Just build a fire

It was a desert. Nothing to burn. Nothin to do but sit there and watch the aliens flying around at night, listen to "things" creeping up in the dark.
You ever try to sleep on a dirt bike? Hungry, thirsty, cold, bored, scared.

Don't have deserts in Indiana? (not dessert)

We don’t need deserts in Indiana. We have trees and running water. When I leave the house for the woods I just make sure I can make fire. We were taught that as kids carry a pocket knife and cary fire. Many kids these days aren’t taught basic survival skills. I don’t know how they survive yet amazingly they do.
We have desserts too! Lots of good ones, but too many to list.
Glad the alliums didn’t get you, or did they???

 

[Master Hack]

We have deserts, but we keep em on the other side of the mountains, so they don't
fight with the ocean.

This rolling pile o crap was taken out secretly to the Mt. Top proving grounds for performance evaluation of the new modifications.
Somehow word got out and the media and our fan club showed up at the track.
I want to take a moment to thank our fans! Both of ya! Yer great!
So back to the blue scrap pile, it works great! Nothing broke, fell off or caught fire!
A blazing 45 MPH was recorded on the back straight.
as per the rules video proof is included.

“The World May Never Know”. Just like how many licks to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop!!!

 

[Master Hack]

“The World May Never Know

Weird! I thought it was purdy obvious?? That other thing, I don't wanna know!

 

[Master Hack]

Every piicher tells a story doe nut?
Pancho will know the story, cuz he's a fellow desert dawg!

 

[Denny]

You sprinkled dirt on it? Oh I know, you drove down a dusty gravel road with it on the trailer behind your truck? Your truck doesn’t have mud flaps? Am I right? Did I guess good?

 

[Master Hack]

Yep! That dirt really makes me happy!

thats west coast dirt, you woundn't unnastan.

 

[panchothedog]

Thats the kind of dirt that looks good. The kind that makes you happy. No oil splattered all over the place, and no broken or jagged metal parts visible.
