[QUOTE="CDA, post: 15852, member: 103"] Yeah I'm an old guy, but my skills are lacking now. Ok, so here is a picture I found over the weekend. One of my favorites. Good story behind this picture. [IMG]http://i1014.photobucket.com/albums/af269/ridehardyz450f/Race%20Memories/scan0023.jpg[/IMG] Here is the story: So this was a dual euro scramble and I came in Second the first day and this was from the 2nd day. I was sitting on the line next to the guy who finished 3rd the day before and he was asking me what type of motor work I had done. I just looked at him and said, FMF did some clean up work on the cylinder and porting :devil:. So the banner drops and I get the jump and am out front leading to the bomb. Just pass the bomb the #1 plate from Team Green goes smoking by me. I hang for awhile and he slowly pulls away. I maintain my 2nd place stature and am having a clean ride. Just pass the finish shoot before you hit the open desert to start the 3rd loop, my dad holds up his arms and gives me the "you got a big lead on 3rd" sign. So I grab 5th and I am tapped across the desert. I take a quick look over my shoulder and sure enough I see no dust behind me for a ways. I'm thinking "sweet, 2 2nds will give me some good points on the weekend." I slow down to navigate a technical section and then I am off clicking gears again across another valley. But wait, I hear the sound of another 2 stroker behind me. I glance over my shoulder and sure enough it is the kid that was asking me about my mods on the starting line. He is now up my ass:rant:. So I get over the bars and put the hammer down and pull a little on him but my mind is :thinking: trying to figure out where he came from. Just then as I am tapped with nothing left in that 250 motor, I clip a rock..:doh: I get in this big tank slapper and next thing you know I am hop, skipping and tumbling across the desert floor. The dude pulls up and asked if I am alright and sees that I am moving and off he goes. I collect myself and grab my bent up bike and off I go. I am pissed :foul:I take off and my bars are pointing to the left at about a 20% angle causing me to keep going off the trail. I pull up next to a rock and bang my wheel against the rock to get them a little straight and hit the trail again. I knock the cob webs out of my head and start clicking again.
