I have too many other things to accomplish at the moment. I have been working on Project 306. It is a stroker motor for my dirtbike. It is just something that I felt like doing, along with fixing other peoples bikes and parting out cheap bikes that I have come across around here. The trip to Farmingdale over the Labor day weekend was a hit, sorry I forgot to bring a camera and get some footage. We are planning to go out again the first weekend in October, I will try to remember the camera this time. Other than that, I plan on putting my bike on a dyno this week and seeing what it has for HP. Then when my stroker motor is done, I can dyno it again and see what the difference is going to be.Devinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17146301620351681856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6157274428594045030.post-79506087264462399222007-08-29T20:44:00.000-07:002007-08-29T20:53:54.938-07:00Back out to FarmingdaleWell this weekend is the big trip again out to the grasslands by the Badlands here in South Dakota.

As a standard ritual for PowerBrokers, we close for the week and everybody goes their separate directions. I normally take a few days and spend it out west riding dirtbike, but this year is a little different. We decided to paint the house and it was my job to start and get as far as I could on it. Well the shitter of it is, when we were working before Sturgis, it was hot and dry. Now it is cold and rainy almost everyday. Only 2 days of painting so far and don't have more than 1/3 of the house done. Should have gone dirtbiking instead.Devinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17146301620351681856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6157274428594045030.post-21399175098994080752007-07-30T21:47:00.000-07:002007-07-30T21:58:08.329-07:00Search and Rescue<a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Vj-fqtmxfRY/Rq7A511q72I/AAAAAAAAAAY/n2Icdpvao7A/s1600-h/DSC02851.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093220328539877218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Vj-fqtmxfRY/Rq7A511q72I/AAAAAAAAAAY/n2Icdpvao7A/s320/DSC02851.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Vj-fqtmxfRY/Rq7A6F1q73I/AAAAAAAAAAg/adBP9jITrVU/s1600-h/DSC02853.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093220332834844530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Vj-fqtmxfRY/Rq7A6F1q73I/AAAAAAAAAAg/adBP9jITrVU/s320/DSC02853.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Vj-fqtmxfRY/Rq7A6l1q74I/AAAAAAAAAAo/Ivhz1zkIGOI/s1600-h/DSC02863.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093220341424779138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Vj-fqtmxfRY/Rq7A6l1q74I/AAAAAAAAAAo/Ivhz1zkIGOI/s320/DSC02863.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Vj-fqtmxfRY/Rq7A7F1q75I/AAAAAAAAAAw/jePLrd60svo/s1600-h/DSC02865.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093220350014713746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Vj-fqtmxfRY/Rq7A7F1q75I/AAAAAAAAAAw/jePLrd60svo/s320/DSC02865.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Vj-fqtmxfRY/Rq7A7V1q76I/AAAAAAAAAA4/_4_E-2qV1cY/s1600-h/DSC02871.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093220354309681058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Vj-fqtmxfRY/Rq7A7V1q76I/AAAAAAAAAA4/_4_E-2qV1cY/s320/DSC02871.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Ever wanted to know what it would be like to be rescued by the search and rescue team? We found out first hand in the Black Hills a few weeks ago when my mother in law fell and broke and dislocated her ankle on the side of a steep hill. 17 people, 2 rescue trucks, 1 ambulance, and 1 helicopter.

I know, fat chance of that happening.Devinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17146301620351681856noreply@blogger.com
