Colors

[Dave400ex]

I was searching Columbia's site and found two colors that might be good choices for my frame. One would be their standard Smoke Gray or Black Chrome. I like the way the Black Chrome looks and I believe you mentioned that as an option, however isn't that the powder that can sometimes look green?

Do you have any better pictures of both of those besides a mailbox. lol

[Pappy]

Yes, the Black Chrome or Chrome Smoke can take on a greenish tint in certain light. It also has a flaw in that it can develop black spots(This is a flaw in the powder and affirmed by the powder manufacture, not an issue with application)

I think that color would be darker then what your after as well.

[Pappy]

dave, how about gun metal? remember my 450r?

[Dave400ex]

Well I hate to say it but I think the gun metal is darker then what I am after.

Have you ever used Columbia's Mid Gloss Gray?

[Pappy]

yep, reminds me of a battleship grey...lol

if its a plain silver you want, rally wheel silver with clear will work.

[Dave400ex]

I found a picture of the Rally Silver, but not a great one. Do you have any pictures of it? It might be the ticket. I'll be sending the frame/sub as soon as next week.

[Pappy]

dave, i have a few batches to run this week and i will try and shoot a scrap part in that color for you

[Dave400ex]

Did you get a chance to shoot any color?

The frame is shipping tomorrow. Gonna ship it DHL.

Items shipped:
Frame
Subframe
Rath front nerf bar mount so you can use it for the gusset
Stem bearing and clip are still in frame

Gusset Frame/Subframe. I want it overtubed by the upper motor mount instead of the Bare gusset and the gusset for the nerfs will have to be cut down and then the one up front for the Precision stabilizer which we talked about all of that. You can see where it was mounted. Just leave a little extra room. I might need to check with Rath about the one by the nerf bar tube, I'm not sure how their skid plate attaches.

Final, there is a broken bumper bolt in the frame. Could you get that out. lol

[Pappy]

ill do my best on the broken bolt

i may need you to send me the dampner and one nerf but i should be able to use the existing marks to get a measurement from. the nerf gusset doesnt worry me as much as the dampner but wait until i get the frame here before sending it etc

[Dave400ex]

If you can't get the bolt no biggie. It just needs drilled and then could be threaded out.

No problem on sending the stuff if need be. I'll be sending the other stuff to PC and Moly so I could just send them with it.

[Dave400ex]

Frame showed up yesterday it said.

[Pappy]

cody said one came so i assume its yours. it will be started shortly

[Dave400ex]

Yeah I forgot to put my name inside it, but mine has the black nerf bar mount on the upper main frame tube.

[Dave400ex]

No Bearings or Seals in anything. Everything is apart and ready for you. Red will be closet to stock Honda plastic, same as it was, unless that new Columbia Super Mirror Red is better.

Molycoat
Spindles
Rear Caliper and Holder. Same as they are.
Rear Master Cylinder
Pivot Bolt/Nut
Sprocket Bolt/Flat Washer/Gray Curved Washer
Carrier Clip
2 Rear Shock/Link Bolts
4 Peg Bolts/Washers
2 Pivot Bearing Sleeves
Brake Stay Slider/Bush
2 Swingarm Pivot Caps
2 Swingarm Pivot Thrust Bush
3 Motor Mount Bolts
Stem Clamp
Throttle Housing/Holder/Lid
2 Front Hub Nuts
Rear Caliper Pin
Rear Brake Pedal Holder
Rear Brake Pedal Pin/Brake Rod

[Dave400ex]

The above parts should be there tomorrow.

The guy building my motor also sent everything to you yesterday, so you should get it tomorrow as well. It will be from Moto-Xperts. Cylinder, head, head cover, etc...

I do want to make a change to my list above, Upper motor mount the same as the frame and front fender mounts as well, same as frame.

[Ty's400]

I heard you are going with HOT PINK for the frame!:eek: :D

[Dave400ex]

Did both my boxes show up today?

The cases were shipped today as well...

[Pappy]

yep i believe both arrived today

[Dave400ex]

Engine List:
Cylinder and Head - Molycoat
Head Cover - PC Red
Oil Filter Cover - PC Red
Water Pump Cover & Thermostat Cover - Moly
Shift Shaft - Moly

This stuff should be in the two boxes from Moto-Xperts.

[Dave400ex]

What are the chances of having the frame and engine stuff back the weekend of Dec. 8-9th? Getting it back that Friday would be great. My deadline is coming up on me fast ... like always

[Pappy]

that shouldnt be a problem. i prepped all the small parts friday, will gusset the frame over the next few days and it, the sub and a few other parts will head over to stripping. i should have them back early the following week and then coat them immediatley and ship them off.

[Pappy]

moly work completed

[Pappy]

,,

[Pappy]

.

[Pappy]

..,

[Pappy]

.,.,

[spanky101]

that moly coating looks sooo nice!

[Dave400ex]

That is awesome! Getting me excited to get it together now.

[Pappy]

the rally silver will end up being a tad darker then the oem frame color, but lighter then the front hubs...kind of close to the rear hub color.

i need an address to send these part to so i can get them on their way

[Dave400ex]

The engine parts go back to Moto-Xperts where they came from. Whatever came in the box can go back to him. Anything I sent you, you can wait and send with everything I sent when it's done. If you want, you can wait and send the engine stuff back after the engine cases show up. Then just send it back all at once to Moto-Xperts.

[Dave400ex]

Pappy I went to the local PC place today to look at their samples. I found the perfect color, it was PPG brand Silver.

[Pappy]

did you get a product code #?

[Dave400ex]

No I didn't see a product code.

I just wanted to check and make sure, did you get my crankcases and sidecases last week? If there is no luck cleaning them, just blast them and that will be good.

[Pappy]

yep, i have them

[Dave400ex]

Pappy I called the local PC place to get the number and basically the guy didn't want to take the time to look. He told me to contact PPG and get a book. So all I could do is go back there in person and try to get it.

Do you have any PPG books? This color is driving me nuts

[Pappy]

I shot a part in the other color today. i will get a picture tomorrow to show it. most of the silvers are very close and ppg is probably no different looking then tigers, and dont forget, your looking at a small flat piece of that color not on a round frame, believe it or not it makes a difference

[Dave400ex]

Most likely that will be the color, but I'm interested to see it.

[Dave400ex]

Hey Pappy any luck with getting the cases cleaned? Things were a mess

[Pappy]

They are sure yellow! I will be working on them throughout the day tomorrow. Its warm enough now so that water wont freeze outside and I can get a tub mixed up to let these rascals soak.

[Dave400ex]

If the cleaner works it's some good stuff. If not just blast the suckers and be done. That is how bad our water is, turns yellow as soon as it comes out the hose....sucks

With any luck I could have the motor and frame and get this thing together next weekend.

[Pappy]

The bad part is, if they are blasted, they will look like *** after they reassemble teh engine and they will discolor fairly quickly. have you considered just having me coat them?

[Pappy]

dave, this is the color. this does not have clear on it (old truck rim) so the gloss is low but its about the closest I can come to what your after

[Dave400ex]

Here's a Final list:

Powdercoat
Frame - Silver you posted
*Subframe - Wrinkle Black - Match ArsFX*
Front Hubs – Same as Frame
Rear Hubs – Same as Frame
Front Fender Mounts - Same as Frame
Front Calipers – Red/Moly Holders
Rear Caliper Holder/Brake Stay – Red
Lower “Triangle” Motor Mounts – Red
Upper Motor Mounts – Same as Frame
Motor Mount Collars (6) – Same as Frame

Crankcases - Molycoat
Sidecases - Same as Frame
2 Allen head plugs - Molycoat
Head Cover - PC Red

[Pappy]

,,.,

[Pappy]

..,.,,

[Pappy]

not quite ready for vroom vroom but getting close

[Dave400ex]

Looks good. That silver reminds me of the silver on a stock 400ex motor, but I think it's the picture.

[Pappy]

dave, engine cases ship tomorrow to Moto-Xperts

[Dave400ex]

Sounds good. That should be the last of the stuff that goes back to him. Send the kicker and w/e else he might have sent back to him as well.

If you want keep the little allen plug out of the sidecase and I'll get the bigger one shipped with the rest of the parts for molycoat.

[firefighterjosh]

Silver Eh:macho I like it david.

I still think you should go suzuki yellow:o

[Pappy]

front calipers

[Pappy]

hubs

[Pappy]

front hubs

[Pappy]

caliper stay and lower engine mounts

i will shoot the frame tomorrow and other then the valve cover, thats all she wrote

[Dave400ex]

Everything looks great! I take it your back must be doing better.

When do you think the Valve cover will be back from stripping?

*Oh and if you could please remember to send back the snap ring for the stem bearing.*

[Pappy]

back isnt any better, was pretty bad today. it takes till about noon for the ibuprofin to kick in and me moving as much as possible to keep it from locking up.

mid-week id geuss on the cover, and I will walk out and grab a snap ring as i will be boxing alot of this up tonight

[Dave400ex]

Sounds great. Hopefully the back gets to feeling better.

Also I noticed in the picture, 5 of the engine collars are there. Did you do the other one and it's just not in the picture?

[Pappy]

yep, there are 6 here done

[Dave400ex]

Thanks for the last minute color change. I think the subframe will look sweet with the wrinkle black to match the ArsFX stuff. The wrinkle you did on BritBoy's swingarm looks like it would be close. You know the ArsFX powder, so it'll be close. lol

[Pappy]

dave...this rath cross bar nerf mount, am i coating it? if so what color?

[Dave400ex]

Nope you don't need to coat it. I'm getting a new set for the show. I only sent it to you for doing the gussets to make sure it would fit.

[Pappy]

it fits:p

[Dave400ex]

I just realized that your going to have to super wrap everything to make sure it doesn't get messed up this week. Don't be afraid to go overboard on everything. lol

[QuadJunkies]

Dave, cant WAIT to see the set up all put together when your done!:cool:
I think we will be adding more ArsFX to the garage soon,but only on a mini.
Parts are looking good!:blah:

[Pappy]

frame

[Pappy]

subframe

[Dave400ex]

Me likey! :eek2: Looks awesome. Be sure to wrap that stuff extra good. This week is crazy I'm sure.

Tina the ARS-FX stuff is awesome. I can't wait to get the shocks. It sure is beefy.

[Pappy]

dave, i need an addy.

[Scro]

Did you take the site glass out of the side cover to coat it?

[Pappy]

Ship however you have to. I need the stuff for the weekend. 3 day or w/e. If it goes out tonight we should be ok.

[Pappy]

regular ground states it will arrive friday


(dont ya love how everyone wants me to cut them a break but are willing to give the shipping companies whatever it takes:p )

[Dave400ex]

LOL yeah. But bigger breaks are needed for the extra shipping expense. ;) I don't ever really expedite shipping unless I am in a super hurry like I am now. I need pictures! :eek2:

Pappy can you get me a tracking number please?

[Pappy]

no more breaks....i dont get any so i cant afford to give any. besides, i havent totaled your bill yet:eek2:


being the week of christmas, i dont want to hear peep one about delays on their end either..lol i run this company not the shipping companies..lmao


DHL# 25035565251

DHL# 25036136252

[Dave400ex]

The bill! :eek2: That'll be interesting. PM me the total and then I'll give you a call.

[Pappy]

no worries dave

[Dave400ex]

Pappy you have no idea how much I appreciate everything you have done, and all the companies helping out for that matter. Seeing this build in a magazine will be a dream come true.

I'm going to check to see if I can have some stickers made, but like we talked about the issue is most want to do high quantity.

[Pappy]

dont worry about getting my name out there, thats not what this is all about. you do what you want and enjoy the build!

[Dave400ex]

I can't get either one of those numbers to work. Is it just me or what? lol

[Dave400ex]

Shut it! :macho

[Pappy]

LMAO!

anyone get the feeling daves christmas presents all have been tampered with:devil:

[firefighterjosh]

Remeber dave when your parts arrive you are at work and I am at home:devil:

BTW the parts look great and there is a paper bag sitting on your porch

[Dave400ex]

Dang the numbers still aren't working. I can't believe they don't have them in there by now. Have they picked the parts up?

[Pappy]

yes parts are gone, and i suspect they wont come active until the driver gets back to the warehouse, and remember, this is christmas week so he wont be getting in early!

now enjoy the season and stop fretting about these parts~!

[Dave400ex]

LOL. I'm going crazy over here. I guess I thought he picked them up last night.

I'll have to enjoy more. :D

[Pappy]

go get a big ol'glass of that funny egg nog..everything will be right then:devil:

[firefighterjosh]

Kids these days:rolleyes:



:p

[Ty's400]

What's the rush, not like you can ride it any time soon!!;)

[Dave400ex]

The hurry is the pictures. Geez get with it. :rolleyes:

[firefighterjosh]

You finally Gagduating from school and want your senior pics?:confused:








:macho ;)

[Dave400ex]

That's it, no more from you. Your ruining my thread... :blah:

[firefighterjosh]

Psshhhh its just a honda, not like its going in a magazine or anything:p

[Pappy]

i think he is going to sleep with the parts for a few nights:chinese:

[Dave400ex]

If you only knew Pappy. My room is so full of parts and boxes that you can hardly walk in it. Nothing better then seeing ARS-FX, Hipers, RPM axle, and HMF exhaust when ya wake up. LMAO :eek2:

Just got to find the right one. Find you a chick to clean da 450!

:eek2:

[Pappy]

I found the mastercylinder cover also

[Dave400ex]

Looks awesome. It's amazing how the lighting can change the colors. That red looks much brighter then the other red parts but yet it's the same powder as the other stuff. lol

And I'm glad you found the cover. I went through that box 3 times. Don't forget the nerf bar mount too.

I'll get the last box (I hope) sent to you tomorrow hopefully.

[Dave400ex]

Pappy I sent a box in the mail to you yesterday. Should show up tomorrow or Saturday. Has the hubs for you to check out, then the rest is moly.

[Dave400ex]

Box should show up today. Let me know if it does. Also let me know on the hubs what will be done.

Little Progress... Should get motor this weekend and get ALOT done.

[Dave400ex]

Side...

[Ty's400]

Looks kind of crappy:ermm: ;)

[Dave400ex]

I see my boxed showed up today. :D

[Pappy]

how did you ship it dave, i just walked outside and it doesnt appear that anything has been delivered today. if it was by postal mail that well could be, but i havent checked my mail today

[Dave400ex]

Yep it was mail. If they didn't bring it to your door it must be sitting on the ground, unless you have a big mailbox. lol

[Pappy]

id send cody up to check it (mailboz is a mile away:p ) as they will leave small boxes in the lock box, but its possible all i will find is a pick up slip. the wife went to the PO on her way to work this evening so when she gets home i will ask if she got the mail and find out the scoop etc.

[firefighterjosh]

For a honda its looking good!:D

BTW when you pick up your engine, get the scoop on mine:macho

[Pappy]

dave, the wife grabbed the box so it is here

[Dave400ex]

Great I'm glad it made it. Now that the holidays are over shipping should get back to normal.

Also did you ship the head cover? If not that's fine, just wanting to make sure I shouldn't have it. lol

[Pappy]

no, i was planning on sending it with these parts

[Pappy]

dave, valve cover shipped today via priority mail to be there friday

[Dave400ex]

Awesome! I'll let him know to look for it. You get a chance to look at the hubs? I marked what I was talking about bcs it was kind of confusing

[Pappy]

yep..the tape wasnt removed. i removed it, polished both lips and they are good to go

[Dave400ex]

Polished both outside lips or inside lips? LOL. Now I'm confused where the tape was. I might have it, on the outside lip that had powder on it? :D

[Pappy]

10-4

there is a machined flat lip. depending on the color or how many layers of powder are required i will either tape it off or not. yours were taped, 1 just did not get the tape removed, 1 did. the powder goes right over the tape so you couldnt see it, but i knew it was there i just forgot and figured i would rather do it then have you do something that caused me to redo the hub and get angry:blah:

[Dave400ex]

Awesome! Well I'm glad you didn't have to powder it either. The polished look will be different as well. I believe everything else was just moly so that should be easy on ya. lol. I tried to take it easy on ya :D

[Pappy]

your a cupcake compared to others:p

[Dave400ex]

Pappy I sent you a PM. Give me a call

[Pappy]

Originally posted by Dave400ex

last time you talked dirty to me:mad:

[Dave400ex]

He's shipping them today. He blew air on the cylinder and head while I was on the phone with him and he said everything was fine with those. I better check the small parts I have :eek2: :D

Also he said there are bearings in the cases, he was going to tape them or put a note in there to make sure you don't get any blast in them.

[Pappy]

haha...small parts:huh

[Dave400ex]

:eek: Your mind is still on the dirty talk...

[Dave400ex]

Shipped UPS and will hopefully show up Monday. If you get them Monday and can get them sent back out Tuesday 2 Dayed then he could get it put together next Friday. Also I just thought that you can just ship the master cylinder cover, rath bar, hubs and all that moly stuff I sent in the little box back with the cases to Toby and I can get it there. Saves shipping another box.

[Pappy]

that sounds fine.

we are pretty sure the product i used to try and clean those cases reacted when heated and caused the moly to lift. ill get them done asap for you and cover return shipping as well. live and learn:p

[Dave400ex]

I thought about that. I wonder why the Moly did it and the PC didn't? The cleaning chemicals might also explain the different shade of color/glossy look. Well hopefully they don't do it again

[Pappy]

moly and pc are two different animals, as i saw no issues with the outer cases, they looked great and there should be no issues. no matter, it will be handled!

[Dave400ex]

Yep it will all be ok. :D

[firefighterjosh]

Dave, your more confusing then my GF:ermm:

[Dave400ex]

Doubtful, but do you even have any idea what we're talking about? :huh

[Pappy]

dave, other moly work is complete...do you want this shipped to you or motoxperts

[firefighterjosh]

Ya I know what your talking about.....kinda, 1 min I do then you jack it all up again...you girl:blah:

[Dave400ex]

Moto-Xperts is fine. You can just wait and send that stuff back with the cases. No need to have to ship two more boxes. Just put the master cylinder cover, nerf bar mount, hubs and all that moly stuff in the same box. Oh and make sure to package all that stuff really good. Last box he got was a bit rough. lol. Dang shippers. Cases should be there Monday

[Dave400ex]

Just saw that UPS delivered them at 4:33. They done yet? LOL :eek2:

Just remember to tape up them bearings when blasting

[Pappy]

received, blasted, washed and drying

[Dave400ex]

Awesome!

[Dave400ex]

Everything ship to Moto-Xperts today?

[Pappy]

no, recieved them yesterday afternoon, completed this afternoon. im good but not superman:p

[Dave400ex]

Ok that'll work. Your not superman? You da MAN though! If everything ships tomorrow he should have it Friday. I'll have to see if I can get him to put it together Saturday. Can't afford to wait until next weekend, show will be here before I know it.

[Pappy]

also...oil is what caused the moly to lift. being cured for an hour brought trapped oil out of the case near the cylinder bolts and affected the coating. i cleaned cleaned and cleaned them again before pc, and it still came out but the powder had set and it did not harm it. (shorter cure time)


so..we should be good to go this time:p

[Dave400ex]

That's good to hear. I don't need anymore phone calls saying my coating is flying off. lol

[QuadJunkies]

Im getting so excited to see this all done!:blah: :cool:
Everything looks so sweet!
Your not going to want to get it dirty! lol
Were selling our 450 any day now .. :(

[Dave400ex]

:eek: Why are you selling the 450?

Pappy can you get me a tracking number please.

[Pappy]

no..my turn to make you sweat:chinese:

[Dave400ex]

I won't be sweating, I just hope it can get done Saturday.

[Pappy]

lol i know

one thing i wil never ever ever do is rush my engine or shock man. to much room for error and when added pressure is applied things can go wrong....








...come to think of it:scary:

Maybe Nate Z. and the Gang will build for her new set up. I know there building a few new goodies. :)
A part of me hopes the 450 wont sell :o lol

:blah:

She just needs to get used to it and then I think she would be fine.
Sorry to Hijack your thread. lol

[Dave400ex]

LOL. Hopefully Nate and the boys get my shocks done. Its been long enough, I NEED them. Every time I call they are working on them, and then nothing shows up. I think they are just swamped with snowmobile stuff right now, but I still NEED them. They have 3 weeks at most.

[Pappy]

dave, the other rath nerf mount and the master cylinder cover ship on monday. i just couldnt send back a ugly part so the rath mount has afresh coat of black on it:p

[Dave400ex]

LOL. I thought that stuff was going to be in my box at Moto-Xperts. I was gonna ask ya about it. No biggie. The motor looks awesome. I'll get some pictures tomorrow

[Dave400ex]

Pap you have any 05 450R front hubs laying around? It looks like the hubs you PCed are 06-up like my stockers and stuff isn't lining up.

[Pappy]

no i sure dont. i am pretty sure i did not get yours mixed with anyone else because i havent had any 06/07's in here for quite awhile. (hubs that is...alot of 04/05)

get me another set here asap and i will get them knocked out for you.

[firefighterjosh]

Thats a kick in the butt....:(

[Dave400ex]

Look at that motor!

[Pappy]

lookin damn fine!

[firefighterjosh]

Engine looks awesome!

[Dave400ex]

I sent you a PM. Hubs, see the small outer lip

[Dave400ex]

Hubs got back... Big lip

[Pappy]

I havent as of today had anyone say they have gotten a set of hubs back in the batch that yours was done and say they are having problems. They ofcourse would be having the same issue as you. I have zero problems working out the problem but the bigger problem will be time. (This doesnt mean someone hasnt re-assembled as of today and doesnt know there has been a mix up if there is a mix up)

You still have to get me another set here ASAP if you want them coated for the show , the rest we will work out but send me those back so I can have them if someone pops up a month from now needing the 06's!
(Ialso checked the pictures, I had 3 sets here that week, 2 06/07(yours and choreboys) and 1 04/05 (turbo530r)

also did some checking, inner bearing and dust seal are same for 04-05 & 06/07

***Dave, your 100% correct, its not the lip but two other things that the pictures show that prove you got back the wrong hubs. Let me know if you have a set ordered or if I need to get a set on order***

[Dave400ex]

Glad that is figured out. Luckily I didn't have a set on the way yet, they were going to ship tomorrow so hopefully everything is ok there and no extra hubs will show up.

If you could, do the front hubs RED like the other red. ;)

I'm a pain in your arse :macho

[Pappy]

Your a big PITA:blah: ;)

It all came down to someone buying hubs off ebay and they did not know there was a difference between them. when they got back their hubs that had to order spindles and it just happened that it worked out for them and everything fit etc (it was a build up from bought parts not a tear down reassemble build) so they never informed me of a fitment issue etc. With you being the only one having a problem, and knowing you were going the route of using the 04-05 set up (but not knowing you had sent the 04-05 hubs) I sent out the wrong ones. I knew i had yours and the other 06-07 quad seperated and the only other job in the works that day was an 04 R and having only 1 set of 04/05 hubs here it only made sense that everything was a go (i even remember looking up a pic of your R to see what front hubs you had and saw they were 06-07 style so away i went!)

well, it will all work out as always. as long as the strippers dont bust off the metal id plates i usually do not have this problem, ofcourse i cant blame them on this because i had seperated everything after getting these back from stripping and made the mistake:p

i will just be glad to have it solved, believe it or not this stuff worries me as if they were my own parts...maybe that is why folks keep sending me work because thats how i view every project...as if it were my own!

[Dave400ex]

Sounds good. Are they done yet? :eek2: (Sorry I had to) :D

[Dave400ex]

Being serious, when do you think you'll see the hubs/get them done etc?

[Pappy]

recieved them yesterday, Kevin will have them torn down and to me today or friday, i will prep and shoot them there after and ship them off.














or when i feel like it:blah:

[Dave400ex]

Option one sounds best. Don't forget to do them Red.

By the way, are you going to be able to make it to the show this year?

[Pappy]

Im going to try. I will be retired from my real job and doing my own thing at some point in the next 10 days, so I have to watch money like a hawk now:p But i would love to come out and see your quad and a few others I have had a hand in along with everyone from the shops I deal with all year

[Dave400ex]

As of today. Getting close :D

[Dave400ex]

:eek2:

[Pappy]

sure is looking sharp dave!


you should see your hubs mid week

[Dave400ex]

Awesome! By the way, I sent the hubs without any bearings etc, so if he left those in there those are actually his. And I'm not sure with the Red if you PC the outer lip or not, but if not polish the outside like you did the other ones. :D

[Pappy]

these will be sent without bearings

im going to do a batch of candy blue, prep the hubs and shoot them and if all goes well they will ship tomorrow.

[Dave400ex]

Oh the ER, never good. Your just having a heck of a time as of late. I prefer the specialist. :D

If possible, I'm gonna have to have you overnight them tomorrow. I am taking it Saturday to do the final touches and set the front end up, put graphics on, grips, cables, etc, so I am needing them. I know, pain in the rear

[Pappy]

still no real idea. they think it is my rotary cup (i geuss that is how its spelled) cody touched the area in between my shoulder and arm and i hit the floor. it wasnt really painfull but felt more like a shock. it was actually a tad bit better today but im sure that is due to not working last night. wife called some specialist today but i havent evcen had time to talk to her yet to see what the word is. lets face it, i work without taking much of a break and even a mild injury gets compounded when you keep beating on it. my own fault but i cant stop:p

dave i was planning on overnighting them regardless

[Dave400ex]

Man you are tore up. What ever happened with your back, just kind of let it go and see how it is type deal?

[Pappy]

the deal with my back is 3 bad disc's. way to much lifting over the years etc. they want to operate but everyone i know that has similiar problems has told me to hold getting cut on until i cant stand it anymore. it gets sore from time to time, pretty much ended me riding hard, no tramploine lol. bad part is i cant exercise like i should because it makes my back hurt....catch 22 i geuss so i just deal with it:ermm:

[Dave400ex]

:eek2:

[Dave400ex]

:muscle:

[Pappy]

lookin good dave, not much longer now!


btw qj...bersitis is what they say is wrong with my shoulder. had more xrays last night and now im on steroids and anti inflamatory meds. the damn steroids make me so hungry i could eat a horse:p

[Dave400ex]
