It's almost been a year since my cancer removal operation. I was enjoying this trail so much I nearly used up a whole tank of gas!

Way to go Yo Joe Go Joe!

It’s been 16 years since my cancer removal surgery. Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t look back!

glad to hear you had a successful procedure. Would love to run those trails. But looks like a chainsaw needs to be in backpack! That is the most inviting looking trail I have ever seen.

FYI. I was going to post in your other thread. Found a guy "garage 2 trail" on YT that has a 2 carb Honda XR200, 4 valve. He has videos as he is working on it.

SCHU glad to hear you are also doing good :) PABDT, cool, I like watching "garage2trail" too, he has some vintage woods bikes if I remember. I'll have another look at his XR double carb again, cheers.

This fantastic video shows just how amazing a 70's Dirt Bike really is! I mean how fast do you actually want to go, and the fun factor for a 70's Bike is just so wonderful. Hopefully as the weather drops under 35' C I will get me boots on and get back out there ;)

Besides ice cream these machines must be the most fun per dollar out there. Picked up an eight legged hitch hiker too!

A bit more fiasco with Tabasco here, went for a get some fresh air ride and obviously there was a fueling issue and I got back, stalling a few times and bump starting it on the down hill sections

pulled the plug - all good, pulled the carb - water and a mega blob of super fine silty rust from the good 'ol gas tank, what do I expect anyways ;), cleaned it all out, it got dark so I'll check it out running another day, and pulled the petcock and found a ton of rusty flakes all built up around the bottom of the petcock screw, at least they didnt get into the carb

first real maintenance I've had to do and probably all that rust gets shaken up on the tracks and then goes where it goes, no real harm done, but my go out for fresh air ride turned into a maintenance session
