Quite the traumatic accident.

I just have my ups and downs with cabin fever and feeling helpless. Last year a buddy and me rode Wa-Id-Mt-Wy-Co-Az-Ca-Wa, was 4,300 miles in 10 days and I did the entire thing with my left hip dislocated. It was a great ride and gave much needed feeling like I was still able to live life, however I was a hurting unit.

My 98 I go back and forth about selling or keeping all the time, I would have to swap quite a few things if I sold it for the same reason I have it de-tuned right now, an unsuspecting rider doesn't need to loop it over.

I was really surprised with the Blast, with a stock carb it would barely do 60, with a rejetted carb and custom exhaust I made it would go to 95 fairly easily. It handles great in most conditions, it's light, cheap on gas ect, ect. I need to tear the motor down have the head shaved and since it has a bent shift fork I will be doing the Baker shift drum and a lot of cleaning fit/finish stuff in the tranny as shift forks seem to be a common issue.
