Don't follow Dave

Ended up bending the crap out of the bars, broke off the bar hook, ripped of my tether, and since my sled was upside down, I found out that 1/2 my sway bar is gone.

Glad you are ok Dave. And get rid of the other half of the sway bar, you don't need it.

 

[PJ-Hunter]

What in the Heck did you hit? I'm assuming that was in SOCO? I didn't see your truck at RE.

 

[skibreeze]

At 57 seconds you can see the rock by my hand. Yes, we were down South. With the Walker Evans shocks on it, as they are, it needs the bar.

 

[PJ-Hunter]

WOW! That stinks. Hope you can find the parts and be rolling again soon.

This was later in the day, after going back to the trailer to bend my bars back good enough to ride. I was still dealing with being 800 rpm down due to the wrong weights and it periodically bogging.

The EGT's around 73 7500 rpm were much lower with the PCV settings at full throttle than any other range and I pulled the plugs after that stuck and they were dark. At the end of the day I subtracted 4% there and the little bit of riding I did after that didn't reproduce the bog, it also got the egt's up a bit, still lower than other rpms though.

Glad your OK Dave.

 

[skibreeze]

Me too, it was a pretty easy dismount considering how the sled took it.

Crash

That sucks Dave!! Guess just goes to show that even when ya get ten feet of snow in 2 weeks there are still plenty of things lurking just benieth the snow.

PS: Sorry I tried to use ya for traction on Saturday. Still pretty sore from that one!!

 

[Summit 800]

ouch. That was a quick dismount. Hope you get your sled all fixed up!

I don't know, I just turn the damn thing on. Yeah, after taking the turbo off, I'm trying to get clutching and tuning squared away and I like riding more than those 2.

I would never guessed in a million years that my sled would be undamaged after you slamming into me like that. The thought of you going head over heels over the bars is funny as hell, sorry you got hurt though.

I got it from another angle...


He was shooting in 720 wide at 60fps

I keep giggling eveytime I replay I replay the sled to sled contact in my mind.

I had a front row seat!

 

[skibreeze]

You had a front row! I had front and center, with a good view of the whole underside just prior to impact!
