Anyone want to loan me some cash?

[cowboyona426]

If I had about 4500 bucks right now, I know how I'd spend it-
2002 Polaris RMK 700, 1400 miles, 144" track, edge package, windshield bag, and bone stock motor sitting at one of the local bike shops. So tempting... it's a nice lookin sled. After the nightmare I've had with my Phazer, I don't think I'll ever buy a modded sled again unless I KNOW it was properly maintained and not used as a pinball.

Sure cowboy let me go outside and pluck the money off the tree for ya!!!! LOL

[cowboyona426]

Sweet- send it FAST!

[TexTwister 393]

It will be in the mail, ummm next year!!!!

[Blitz393]

sure cowboy, just as soon as you lend me the 400 bux to fix my bike and have it race-ready by march 6th (3 days after my birthday, too!) for the LAST RACE OF THE SEASON (!!!) meaning if i dont make this race i dont race again until i move to West Virginia, and that's 6 months off! NOOO

be a pal!

lol

[cowboyona426]

What's wrong with oldy-goldy now Blitz? Still the leaky head issue?

[cowboyona426]

BTW- I'll give 400 bucks for 4500 ANY DAY!!!

[Blitz393]

btw sounds like a nice ride, can't you just sell/trade in the phazer? slap a new piston in there and that'll be that

Chase,Ask "2003YZ125"....he has been getting a new bike every week so he must be made out of money...I am sure he has some he can loan you as many bikes as he buys.

[cowboyona426]

Phazer's only worth about a grand, and that's if I sell it outright. The engine is back together, I just have the rest of the sled in pieces Plus, it's 5 hours away right now.

Matt-

[Blitz393]

no, cowboy. rmember the last race i was in? i was leading the race (MEANING I WAS IN FIRST) and the crank bearings went out about 1/2 lap from the finish.

AARRGGH

[cowboyona426]

Eewwww. I must have missed that thread Me thinks Rob needs to pinch pennys and get a new bike.

[Blitz393]

and the leaky head gasket was just that... a rubber o-ring with a tear in it, some gasket compound fixed that. unfortunately, that time way back when i sucked water into the engine finally took its toll on the main bearings. my stator/magneto wiggles up and down 1/4 inch each way. parts 200 and labor 200- i'm trying hard but i cant find a job. last job i had was working with 530 degree hot tar on a roof as a roof worker, in the summer. (112 degrees in the shade) for 8 bucks an hour. some of my friends that live on the east coas get that much working at mcdonalds : (here, starting is $5.52/hr at McDonalds)

[cowboyona426]

8 bucks an hour is good money out west young fellow! Especially if you don't have BILLS! I wouldn't spit at 8 bucks an hour (even though the work sounds grueling)- minimum wage in Idaho is %5.15 an hour, and 10 minutes away in Washington it's 7 bucks plus (not sure how that works). But here's the kicker- tipped employees (such as wait staff like my wife) can get paid LESS than minimum wage because their tips count as income- Amanda makes a whopping $3.25 an hour plus tips! Tips can vary from 100 bucks a day (6 hour shift or so) to 15 or 20 bucks though. On the other hand, I oughta smack you for not trying to do the work yourself- shame shame! And to think I sat there and LET you take a pic of me on the monster pumpkin at the GMB II, sheesh : Me still thinks you should start saving for another bike, sounds like the 'ol YZ has seen better days. I've got a super clean 426 I'll sell ya cheap

[paul reed]

cowboy...most of washington state is a big ghetto...i`d rather be in idaho...at the compound-LOL...heck-anywhere but weezer is just fine...anyways,they tax the tips unfairly too...workin folks get the shaft-while the top banana in charge just fleeces the place...even the other rich folks is whinin about it,they`re even having to cut back on servants

[cowboyona426]

OH NO, not SERVANT cutbacks!!! The only part of WA that's a ghetto is the coast (no offense all you WA coasties ) The north central part of the state is really nice- ever been to Winthrop? That's where my wife was born and raised

[pragmatic393]

Save your money for your trip to Texas

[cowboyona426]

You may just have to wait until the GMB III, hopefully I'll be there then

[Blitz393]

i aint spittin at it, just saying that in Virginia, i could be getting 10 bux or more an hour for that same job, in LOTS better conditions.

what's cool is, i'm under 18 so he can't LEGALLY hire me, so it was under the table and i didnt have to pay taxes the bad thing is, i can't work there. he doesn't work weekends, and you're on the roof at 630 or 7, and get off at 4 (45 mins for lunch and scattered 10 min. breaks) so school kinda puts a hamper on that job.

[Blitz393]

and i was gonna do the work myself, BUT for the first time i'd feel a WHOLE lot better if i let someone else do the work and i sit there watching. my dad can do anything to a car, but a YZ just isn't a 1970 Chevelle (he had one) or 68 javelin (had one too) or anything else. he asked me why i couldn't just use the old circlips for the new topend i put in a while ago, "ahh they'll work..." : and i had to show him how the clutch worked. (motorcycle wet clutch- 16 discs immersed in oil and 5 springs with pressure on those plates, steel plates connected to the inner hub, friction plates had tabs to the basket, etc...) so i'd like a pro to do it first and let me watch so i know how to do it. plus that way i may even be able to videotape the process so in case i get lost, i can just hit rewind
