Well most everyone knows I wrecked a lot of carnage at TF07. Plan B worked great, broke a lot of bikes and most of my own. I know this sounds really bad but I put it that way to be comical. Honestly no one could feel more guilty about it than I do. Thankfully I have lots of understanding friends here.

But on to my good news, Works suspension is going to warranty my 250r shock. I wish I had a picture but I didn't think to snap one before sending it back to them.

Works had serviced my stock 250r shock only 2 weeks before TF07 and my second day at Haspin, my 4th lap around the MX track the shock came apart and I bent the shaft coming down off of a jump. Man did that suck. I was really worried they wouldn't warranty their work and I'd be out $300. Well they're rebuilding it again and lucky me it'll come back with one of their updated heavy duty shafts. I'm excited, these past couple months have been kinda tight financially because of many unexpected failures.

I bought an f-250 for TF07 and it threw the timing chain 200 miles up the road. had to tow it back $$. Actually ended up wrecking the cam and distributer drive gear. Its sitting in a million pieces right now.

I need to thank Brandon for hooking me up with that counter sprocket, I shredded all the teeth off before the MX races. He's a live saver.

Dale helped me out with tools and parts, props to him too.

Apologies again to Brapp, his 350x threw the chain and trashed the engine cases while I was riding it. We're still working on squaring up but it'll be all cool eventually.

I'm sure I broke something else but I can't remember at the moment, and I'm sure someone else helped me too so thanks to whoever I forgot.

Anyway, thats all. lol

oh don't remind me of that, trust me I felt it. The 500 needs work too. Lots planned. I gotta make up for looking like a goof on it.

In it's defense it wasn't built as an MX BIKE! It didn't break anything but front fork seals again so it doesn't owe me much.

Trust me I'm so embarrassed by my TF07 I'm starting to wish I never went. Next year will be better.

I do believe I got a couple good holeshots though. lol

England! So glad I got to meet you too dude, great time cruising that hill with you!

Fishing that quad outa the mud was so fun. My roommate Joey has been teasing me, calling me hurricane Mielke, I apparently leave a wake in my stead.

Swinehart it was a privilege to ride with you again too. Didn't really get to hang with you much last year, nor during my pre-TF07 trip to Haspin, I'm so glad i got to ride with you so much. I have a lot of respect for you.

I KNEW I WAS FORGETTING SOMEONE!!!!! and I meant to thank you specifically, that was the main point of the post.

Big thanks goes to dizasterzrfun69 for loaning me a 250r shock. I wouldn't have had my 250r to ride at all that week if it wasn't for that shock. It'll be comming back your way asap! THANKS AGAIN SO MUCH!
