BenBB Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Just tryin' to catch up, missed out on the better part of a week from the forums and wanted to say it's good to be back. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving, here's my short version: Ate myself absolutely sick Thursday. Spent Friday installing a CD changer in the wife's minivan, stabbed myself in the palm with a screwdriver and hurt like hell...my clutch hand no less. Fell off the doghouse trying to tarp some of the wife's junk and twisted my ankle, my fucking left ankle that I kinda need to shift gears, and I'm ashamed to say I wasn't even inebriated. Went to the dunes in Kermit, TX on Saturday and had an awesome time. Perfect weather, not too big a crowd, kinda rutted by camp but plenty of smooth sand to rip farther out. Met and rode with some great guys (well that always happens). First time I found somebody that wanted to drag was a built DS (pipe, filter, 46mm carb I think, rev box, Axis shocks, he said the head was ported pretty wild)...I beat him pretty clean by 3-4 lengths, only going up to 4th gear. Second run with that guy and a YFZ450 pulls up, has a pipe, filter, rev box, Webb cam, hi-comp piston, and the new ITP curved paddles. Beat the YFZ by 2-3 lengths, but he wouldn't back off until I was winding out 5th. Then they both quit racing, WTF? No biggie, I go ride trails and bowls and a little later some others are racing. This time there's a sweet 250R and a CRF450F dirt bike with a paddle; the 250R was about as fast as that YFZ, I was ahead of him every time but the CRF walked me on top...dammit. OK fine, you got a 200lb. weight advantage on me, I'll take 2nd without cryin' (and yes I gave it 3 hard runs before I gave in). Good day of ridin' though. Spent half of Sunday playing Soul Calibur 2 with my son and started feeling bad, which turned to worse, until Monday morning I felt like hammered dog shit. So I spent Monday and Tuesday in bed sick with the Flu. It sucked. So now I'm back at work and can read up on what I missed, heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screamin_Demon Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Sounds like one hell of a weekend for ya, lol. I'm pissed cause I left my ps2 memory card at my cousin's, and now I can't hardly get into any of the games because of it missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 damn ben sounds like a hell of a time. i need to get around and get to some dunes sometime, never been. cant really feel too bad about a crf beating u, they have a pretty decent power to weight ratio. sounds like u whooped some ass tho. hopefully that flu shit doesnt travel up here to missouri, i dont think i want any part of it.
