Me,Turbotx and Rkinman met up today for some riding.Good time was had by all and everybodys buggy was still running at the end of the day.Rkinmans buggy screams and turbos rides like a cadillac.Rkinman brought his wife and 4 kids who had their own toys to ride.Cant thank turbo enough for helping me with my brakes and my steering.I didnt get many pics.Took some video of turbo jumping and Rkinmans wife took some video and pics,maybe they'll post them. :-) :-)

I like that tres hombres!
We better not go to Arizona anytime soon...
Redskinman and Rkinman came out to a little place in Texas called Mudbuddy's! Gearge showed up first and the first thing I wanted to check were his brakes! LOL Last time I rode with the Rkinman his failed him and he ran me over lol!!!
No Brake Fluid in the master, and just enough of the rear had fluid in it to stop in the parking lot but not much else! I showed George how the brakes were adjusted and we filled and bled the brakes...
I will give credit where credit is due...
If it were not for Hoser's site here I would have never been able to Help george out! I am no mechanical genius, and only shared what I have learned here on this site!
After we got the brakes worked out He drove it for a while just to check them out! He returned and asked me to take a ride to get a feel of the motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) and jetting! This was the next thing I wanted to show him how to do! I showed him how to do the plug chop, and he has the jetting right on! Good color throttle response is great!
Next issue we worked on was getting his tie rods and toe adjusted not properly but "eyeballed it"! It turns a lot better than before, and when he gets a new left thread nut he will get it tuned in better!
The next thing I think he should do is put in some kind of fan setup for the fins... Here in Texas most of the trails available are tight and very few straight a ways to let air flow over the jug!
Raymond and Crew showed up in fine style at just about the time we got George lined up, but Raymond got to do the Daddy Thing an did it WELL!!! My Hat's off to him!!! He had his Hands full with some Darling kids who were not scared of tackleing the biggest hills on there little quads!!! Some future Champions in the bunch! His youngest Daughter was even getting bigger AIR than he and I did lol
I am looking forward to the next time we ride, maybe somewhere near Houston!
1frc you were surely missed buddy!

Rman when you get around to working on your carb boot, try a larger pilot jet, to see if you can get rid of the high idle

Hey guys. It was a lot of fun. Thanks Turbo for the assist with the kiddos. Trying to keep three daredevils on atv's going is a chore.

The place was fun...it would have been nice if we had an actual race, but still fun. My daughter's little $500 Suzuki 4x4 250 was a blast. Nothing fell off the FL-350, so it was a good day.

I almost put my feet through the tub on a double jump that I thought was a single.

Here is a picture of my crew. I will post some videos my wife took later when I get home.

I sure wish I could have made it out there with you guy's. It has been some time since I last rode my Odyssey. It has been a work in progress and I have alot of goodies on her now, and cant wait to see what she will do... If all goes well I will be able to have it all together within 2 weeks or so.. Great pics by the way guys!! Looks like we can eventualy put together a little 4 person race between all of our rides. How does this place compare with Marble Falls??? Last I was out at marble falls we were able to lacate some additional trails which would result in some good 6-7 mile laps easily and also still be high speed between 30-55 mph durring each lap. I hope to get out there soon with all of you. I have been taking care of my family sice the recent passing of my father, and it has been quite the challenge.

Video is short, not much to look at just a few passes of some small jumps so adnoh could see how well his front end works! I am still cleaning, and discovered some damage to the rv! Have to unload the toys and store them! Then take rv to get repaired! Very heartbreaking! I love this rv'ing and can't wait to get into it again for a long week of riding! Sometime in june I am thinking of a week in marble falls!

The sleeping quarters above the 5th wheel, the front wall had lost all bolts holding it to the frame... 3000 to fix, holding my fingers insurance will pay for it???
They will have to pull the skin up front, reposition the wooden framework to the Iron framework and re-skin it... I could do it myself IF I have to??? just don't want to...

Actually need bigger bolts, these broke... Service guy said it was from bouncy roads, he has seen it before... And the road to mudbuddys was bad, so I am sure this just started, because I go thru this thing everytime I come home from a road trip to check for leaks etc...
