There was a busted jeep that would not move, so we tried going around him. When I did, I bent my front beam, bent the front trailing arms, bent the link pins, and flattened a tire. Then, I totally smoked my clutch, trying to get my busted front end out of a rut. And, the battery went dead. We didn't get back until 6 am. And this was all Friday night. And what was funny is when I looked in the gas tank, I only had about a half inch of gas left in the tank. I just spent the rest of the weekend riding and drinking with everyone else. I still had fun.

And all Kyle broke was a tie-rod :roll: Jeff remember the bracing for you bags we talked about at Bills. Oh and jeff taco'd a rim but didnt know it :mrgreen:

Started out sometime Friday night into Satuday morning, got back to camp around 6am by myself with a mysterious front left flat (whoo knowss??). Woke up Saturday morning and noticed the flat, made 30 trips across the power lines to afterburnt and dave hix's camp begging parts, and got it to somewhat hold air. Rode Saturday and the tire kept going flat and coming off the bead. Aired it up a million times and tried to keep riding, but at some point after enough beers Saturday night I gave up and limped back to camp on the rim :shock: Sunday morning I was ready to just put it on the trailer but Jeff convinced me to try and fix it, so we took the whole thing over to Plumber Bills camp and hung out with him, Nitro, and Ody as me and Nitro pinched Billy's tube 30 times trying to put it in. Finally Billy took over and got it to hold air. Thanks again to you three for all the help! We went out on a short ride, left side intake came loose and engine was revving high. Tightened that up, aired the tire up one more time, and kept riding. Got down to those hills left of scooby where it all ended. I came sliding down the one line a hundred miles an hour and hooked a tree in between the frame and right front tire, bending my tie rod into a pretzel. Had to cut the tree down to get me off the hill and load my buggy up down at scooby! Billy and Nitro have some good pictures and videos, maybe they'll put them up!

Great ride all and all like always, love seeing all my friends down there!
