Well as all of you probably know by now I got a super sweet deal on a nice 85 250r. When I first got it I couldnt believe that it just didnt have the power of the 84R air fooler. My air fooler would just plain get it out of the hole(has K&N, DG pipe and silencer and 85R carb with twist throttle). Well I was complaining to everyone that I really didnt think the 85R was all it was cut out to be.
Days progess and we head to ricks(xnagex) place to ride his woods "track". We got there and unload the trikes and did some minor tuning. I got a new rear shock and a brand new OEM carb installed. Well after over lubing the filter and fouling a few plugs that sucker ran like a wild dog chasing a car! I was super impressed. I know I know lets get the to wreck!!!!:D
Well it was nice tight woods for awhile(til howard ran most of the trees over lol). There was a down hill with a nice size ditch that you had to hit at an angle. Well I have been hitting it wrong all day and bouncing around like crazy. So I just decided that it was pointless so I would roll thru it and hit the gas to make it up the large hill afterwards. Well that slow R LOL:doh: I hit just alittle too hard gonig up the hill so It wheelied up it. No big deal you say til I notice a huge Oak tree minutes ahead. So I drop the front end down in just enough time to miss a small 3" diameter tree with the front tire but hit it with the left bar, foot peg and rear axle. I was rolling too. Needless to say that R slammed me on the ground so hard I was out for a few minutes and took just as long to catch my breathe. In fact Howard came to push my trike back on all 3 and ask me to move my legs....I didnt know what he was talking about! LOL
Well after that we hit ricks house to chill and regain composure. I was a real trooper and wanted to go back out and ride. This time I took old fathful the X but before that I had rick duct tape my rib area(no.....I did it over a t-shirt). I rode great with very little pain and had a great time. Well after the evening ended I laughed at Bill saying I should have never dissed the 85R like I did, cuz she taught me a lesson.
Well went to the doc today and I have 2 broken and one fractured ribs. It has caused some major swelling and putting pressure on my right lung. So the doc gave me 3 shots in the rear(like I didnt already have enough pain in the rear) and tons of inflamitory/pain killer. Well I am going to be alright. Give me time to work on the trikes some...minor work!
This is the R with new headlight plastic,new headlight guard, new shrouds, new(ebay) fenders and seat. I have a Paul Turner Pipe and a Silencer soon after
