Tuesday maybe

So we tried like hell to get out of oklahoma but 2 machines (feat/erock's and dic/pistol's) kept screwing up just outside of woodward. Pearl and slappy actually went ahead to look for parts and the rest of us worked on just about every system of both bikes. Limped them into fort smith and worked for more hours into the night. Pearl and slappy went on to dodge city. We moved on to buffalo, ok where we worked into the middle of the night...like 3or 4am. We readjusted the valves, timing, carbs, and lots of other stuff. Ours finally started working but poor pistol rode their bike that was bucking like crazy...and after 26 hours of no sleep and tons of work...slim, slick, feat, erock, dic and pistol finally made it to dodge city at dawn. A few hours of sleep and off again west today. In lamar, co headed north towards boulder probably.

  1. Bucking? Was that an engine or frame/sidecar connection?

  5. Guys I told you wrong earlier you needed to go to B9ES plugs to have a cooler plug. To help keep from burning pistons. I hope this did not cause a problem. Let me know when you can.

  6. So - did you make it to Boulder? And what pass are you taking through the Rockies? Surely you did not really go through Montezuma, CO!!! That's what's showing on the map.

    Take care and be safe!!!

  7. You have lots of people sending you energy and prayers to make the Friday deadline. We're all counting on a successful trip. But you need to get some sleep. Looks like Pistol is sleeping in the sidecar. I guess if you're that tired you can actually sleep anywhere. Good Luck 555!! Diane Ludman
