Well I made it the whole way south to hang out with Randy and Bonnie Sunday, and as always we had a great time! I'm pretty sure my riders eyes got pretty big a couple of times, but she had a blast too I think...and I know my buddy Dave did. I hope you took one thing away from having us there though...you really can't leave Dave and I alone to long..or we're going to get in trouble!!

Dave after we sat to long






I am the sexiest man alive!!


Breann kinda looks like she has a real smile


Part of the group hanging out while randy tried to master the wheelie on the rincon.


Dave likes miller lite...but not in painted cans

Looks like you guys had a good time. Somebody has to get stuck! Wouldn't be right otherwise.

Well,

as John stated. We hit the trail again yesterday. Seemed like it wouldn't be a very nice one with the cool temps and winds blowing around 25 MPH. Didn't turn out half bad though and it didn't get cold till late in the evening. After John, Breann, and Dave left we went back out on the trail for some night riding and then it got cold! :shock: Luckily the fire we started on a sandbar with some signal flairs around 5 hours earlier was a raging blaze when we got back to that sandbar. :shock2: I have a feeling that big tree Savanna was loving my be a bit smaller this morning. :fire: I'll post more later as I get moving. I even have some video of the sand surfing this time. ;)

Here is the link for the poker run in Canton. I think Dave and I are goin! http://fp1.centurytel.net/cancerbusters/autumn%20ride%20flyer.htm

Oh and BTW. This deal is huge from what they was saying.

800 atv's and 1000 total riders last year. It is all for a good cause and last year they raised something like $23,000.00 for cancer research or something like that. (Don't remember all them figures for sure I was a little :drunken: ) Sounds like a very cool thing to be involved with. I have never been on a ride with 800 quads. :face:

Ok I got some pics and video uploaded.

Its pretty raw and right from our digital still camera as I don't take the video camera on these rides.

Just wanna say thanks to you guys for coming down and I hope we didn't scare your new lady friend off John. She seemed like a trooper considering. Some of the crap we decided to go threw. I would have never guessed we'd all make it threw a couple of them crossings.

Bonnie just chillin!




Quack and the misses!




Savanna playing on the tree that we lit the roots on fire of about 3 ish. When we went back around 8 that night it was burning nicely. It's a large tree!




Here are the video's. Never done this before by just posting them off photobucket so we'll see.

I'd like to see what our chase cam looked like when she went in the water! You'll have to ask grandpa for the fotage.

Holy buckets..just looked at a new rear shock for my kodiak..$369.00!! I'm not sure it's worth it..thats a third of what I paid for the whole thing!! Also gonna see about getting a little extra padding for that seat..Breann mentioned that her rear was a little tender by the end of the day :quack:

I like the dedication of the "surfer". Having a smoke while being pulled!

Well, the wheelin was fun while it lasted.

Back to wrenchin. I got some work to do if my quad is gonna be ready for this weekends ride.

Today I took it out to check on the trails for next weekend. Man the water was up some and the trails were soft. That wasn't the half of it though. Next thing I know I am hearing a giant clunck and I have no drive line again. Different deal this time though. I shift it into 4 x 4 and it takes off. I right now have a front wheel drive atv. Not so good.

Something has broke in the rear drive line. Like a drive shaft or gear or something. I am gonna start tearing it down tomorrow but getting parts fast for an atv are almost impossible. If anyone knows of a good shop with lots of yamaha parts in stock let me know.

This is the reason why you buy a new quad when you can. They take such a beating. :bang_head:
