Moabiker's Tall Tales

Holy crap! That is the hairiest rockiest goat trail I’ve ever seen. Opportunities for knee busting and cliff diving a plenty! :yikes:
That fun mild trail for me on trials bike...hehe took bud to a few branches on that trail that no doubt are extremely technical on anything but trials bike and even pro rider had to push and dab!!!

...yamaha it490 (in excellent shape supposedly) may be here soon for me to inspect and test out....
...xr600 getting sandblasted today, powdercoat day after!!!
...having hard time getting exhaust studs out, torch not work, use mill tomorrow to drill out...
 
...did, welded on nut and then heat with oxy torch and stud break again,.
Tomorrow put in mill should work to drill out

Hi Moabite,
can your mill run backwards?
If it does, try using a just less that thread root diameter Left-handed drill bit to remove the broken fastener,
Sometimes a backwards drill will dig into the fastener and screw it right outa there.
 
We shall see, owner picked up 1976 750 yesterday, but he put directly in storage, and he flying back to europe for 6 months today. The XR600 will be his bike too since he paying all the bills but i guess i get to ride it till he gets back and then possibly sell to me. IT490 supposed to be delivered next week, as he was going to buy it on way to airport and have it delivered to me.
...Strange arrangement, he must obviously be millionaire, and i completely cash broke mechanic/rider...
....edit...toned down some...
...but i do not get along at all with my landlord wife...
...so world...i am in extremely high anxiety mode...

- - - i do not get along at all with my landlord wife, meanest dimentia peep (with no hands and feet) anyone ever met, so i had more than enough of her that big problem in paradise brewing....
... i am so completely sick of her as she most despeciable disgusting person i ever been around and soooo fed up that only thing that matters now is to get away from here, for all the fantastic way my riding and dog life is.- - -

Hi Moabite,
if your landlord's wife really is a quadruple amputee think about how you'd feel about life after walking a mile in her prosthetics.
 
Calling Moabite! Calling Moabite! Come in Please!. I am interested to see what you are up to now that Spring is well underway and Summer is quickly approaching.

...uranium mines and internment japanese camp...before that lots of outlaws hid out during cowboy times in moab area...before that thousands of years ago different indian tribes left pictographs and petroglyphs all over moab...and lots dinosaur bones, footprints all over moab still being found....and now jeep,motorcycle, and bicycle parts becoming part of landscape for generations later to find...but the spirit of a moabiker will be the predominate discovery for many.... wow this riding rocks!
