If you have an old sprocket that you don't want, can you send it to me? Ill pay shipping, if its free. I want to make some garage art

 

MAAAAN..... I did some cleanup in the garage a few weeks ago and threw out some old chain and sprockets from my a few different things.

 

I probably have a few. Are you looking for a rear or front sprocket? I can look this weekend.

 

Anything that has the trash label, doesn't matter to me

 

No worries. I was trying to make a lamp. But its been a few years now haha. I have a Jeep ring and pinion, a couple messed up 350 cams, and an old rear sprocket. Even was going to use a spark plug as the on/off pull string.

i will continue to wait haha

 

It'll be a lamp AND a self defense bludgeoning device. I like your style!

 

Yeah, twice a week

I can't wait

 

Decided since I'm travelling for work on Sunday, I could play hookie at 2:30 and go ride.

Rushed home, changed, and got a great 1h30ish ride out through Snohomish and back right as the sun went down. Was so good to be back on the bike for a nice, warmish day in between rain deluges.

Exactly the medicine I needed after a week like the one I've had.

 

Found out last evening that a friend of mine from NY hit a deer on Halloween night and was thrown from his bike. He was wearing full gear but did suffer some head trauma. He's out of the hospital and home now but has a long road to go. Here in my area this is a time when deer are moving a lot so be careful out there.

 

Did a pretty big 108 mile ride on the Grom of all things today:



There were three Groms that showed up and honestly I had such a fun time going flat out racing my friends on their Groms. Mine is super undersprung so it was bouncing everywhere but it made the ride a little more entertaining.

 

Miss you @gnarthirty2

 

Y'know, everyone wants a liter bike, but I have yet to see someone not having an absolute shitload of fun on a grom, especially in packs! (troupes, gaggles?)

 

No joke I was laughing my ass off the entire time we were racing. This is two of us going as hard as possible:

 

Elbows out in a different way

 

POV bystander: 2 groms go by at a brisk walking pace

 

There were a couple people behind us watching the whole thing. I even passed a Prius on a straight! Had to sit on the back seat and do a full tuck but made it happen lol

 

man I wish I could have made it out! How was it?

 

Riding slow things fast with some friends is such a hoot.

 

My KLX450R had a leak at the countershaft seal so I ordered a seal kit... had all the right tools, installed it perfectly from what I could tell... AND NOW IT LEAKS WORSE! Oil is just pumping out of the outside edge of the seal! It even makes a squeaky little noise like it's making fun of me!!!


I ordered a new seal kit so I guess I'll do it all over again and see if there are any obvious problems with my work or the part.

 

I will have a worn out front and rear steel dirt bike sprocket set for you as soon as I can get the rear wheel off this week. Also have a plain gold chain (no O-rings). I assume you're going to weld it all together? Shoot me a PM with your address and I'll ship it soon as I'm able.
