|  be prepared for the worst
so i went to the track today. it was supposed to be a good long day of riding motorcross and having fun, but things went ape-s**t right away. first my trailer blew a tire, so we threw the bikes in the back of my cousins truck losing about 45 minutes but still in good shape. Then we get to the track(racers edge in baxter springs kansas) about an hour and half drive. I find the screw holding the kickstarter is loose so i tighten it, but the head of the screw breaks off. Well at least its still ridable right... I do about 3 laps noticing the bike running really sloppy and bogging down a lot so i pul into the pits. At that point i never got the piece to start again. At least my cousin got to ride right... he did about 5 laps untill he noticed oil dripping al over his boots and discovered a screw missing from the engine cover. so a total of 3 hours driving and 20 dollars entry we got 8 laps and 2 broke down bikes sheesh   |
