well you know that whole time thing and saving up money and such. well you can cancel that out. i got permission from the mom to go ahead and buy everything on credit and pay her back. so all i am waiting on now is this months bill and then i will start spending. its gonna be pretty sweet dropping $1000 in parts in an hour.

Oh shall i kick you an affilate link ?

well i didnt read your post in time lol. so i may have just spent $988.52 in about 20 minutes. picked up a JE 13.5:1 piston, new cylinder, big gun rev box, full set of black UFO plastics, full Renthal drive setup including the R1 chain and front and rear sprockets. stock was 13/48 and i tapped the ratio down to 13/46 for a little boost in speed. plus i bought a lot of needed things like random gaskets, oil and accesories such as grip and non broken levers. total spent on my bike in this past month is $1523.68. just a little bit and i spent about $400 when i first got her just to fix random broken parts. however if you add that to the cost of the bike i have a brand new $4000 bike. not bad, a new bike at 2/3's the cost, plus tons of added horsepower. should be done in the next couple of weeks. anyone is still welcome to donate money, lol. ill get pics up soon.

so, it seems like christmas around here. every day i get home to a couple of packages. my huge $550 order from oemcycle.com shipping. i was proud of myself for hitting the maximum shipping cost with and order of 22lbs. maybe doesnt sound like much, but remember these are all small parts so 22lbs is a huge amount. just got my JE high compression piston today. Barnett kevlar clutch and Pro Circuit impeller cover yesterday. oemcycle order on friday and then im just waiting on rev box, plastics, shift lever, and suspension components.

Wonderful and with summer break coming up for you you will be all set. Ride Ride Ride. And of course more time to spend on mototips

got the bottom end done today and am putting the piston in a little later today. i think the engines going back in the bike tonight and my huge order of parts is comming tommorow, so i will be rebuilding the front suspension and finishing up the engine. however i still need to get valve seats cut, but that wont happen until monday at the earliest (payday). hopefully by the end of next week she will be together again. i havent ridden in so long, its been like 2 months......
