You have a garage. Tear it apart sheesh

 

Happy Memorial Day fellers.

Jetted the carb in my bike and replaced the tube this morning and went up for a ride with a couple buddies. Was wet and rainy but was good to breathe some fresh mountain air again.

 

My frame is not bent. lol

The only similarity is my steering wheel is turned about 15 degrees to the right. It drives straight, does not pull. Just the wheel is turned. Not sure what happened but I'll get it on the alignment rack and see exactly what is fubar.

Mark @SconnieHailer , I finnaly put the Foxes to a full test. This last adjustment is awesome. Very good in the slow stuff and amazing at speed. Soaks everything up perfectly. Very, very, very happy.

This pic was a section we could go very fast. I was doing ~60 in this section. There were a series of dried up puddles and some nice undulations. Ben @m3bassman is that the only one there is from that spot?

 

glad the valving is working out!

Your rack may have moved in the mount Mike.

 

No Ben, this is not correct. I can let go of the wheel and it goes perfectly straight down the highway.

An interesting thought but not sure that is possible.

It is possible something happened internal to the rack tho or maybe a bent tie rod end. At first I thought it had slipped a tooth on the steering shaft splines. Again, not sure this is possible. I've never heard of either of these things happening to others but many 1st genners have taken to spot welding the splines I am referring to. I have not done this mod.

 

I know the rack can slip teeth. Was something on that on ttora.

A bent tie rod would be visually obvious and the truck would be almost Undrivable as one side would be bent

 

I would also think the tires would be skewerd looking, like the toe was way out or something on the side that's bent. Not sayin the toe isn't the trouble, but looking at the tires, they seem to be pointing correctly.

 

Firestone lifetime alignments FTW. I have definitely gotten my monies worth from them.

 

God I wish I could do that

 

Didn't like the new top gear. Felt forced. Chris Evans is not great. Matt Leblanc was actually not bad. Everyone was not good though.

Not a great start.

 

IMO, it was bound to fail anyway. There is no way it could ever measure up. The bar is set too high.

 

Yea way too high. Have to wait and see what Jeremy's new show has in store.

 

It was terrible. I turned it off halfway through. I hate to say it but I'd rather watch American top gear any day and that used not to be my opinion. Times have changed.

 

Haven't seen american top gear in years. It was awful

 

Agreed, the first season was rough. But when the British top gear fell apart, the US version really stepped up their game. Nothing beats Clarkson, Hammond and May

 

Well it only fell apart last spring..couldn't have gotten that good since then haha

I'll just wait for Jeremy's new show

 

Believe it or not, they've made leaps and bounds. And I absolutely hated Adam Ferrara back when he was doing stand up comedy. They copied the UK top gear too closely and had no chemistry, but now on their 4th or so season and they've made a good impression on me after boycothing the show for the last season or two. It still needs work, but massive improvement from the first season imho.

I'm definately interested to see the Amazon prime show with the old top gear gang

 

I thought that was the show you were talking about. That's the one I want to see.

 

Oh ha yea no, bbc kept top gear alive with all new format and cast. Wouldn't bother with it though.

Jeremy's new show is call The Grand Tour. On Amazon prime only

 

Nice Ben! I've been toying with drawing something up myself. Although solidworks would probably be better than Acad which is what i have access to. Or i may just back of a napkin it haha. What are you thinking for axle setup? I've browsed jberry and boxrockets builds quite a bit. Its fun thinking about all the cool stuff you could build once you get decent with a welder.
