Welp, my trail rig is dead. My father wanted to impress his GF and borrowed my rig run a fire trail, for some reason the OBA was left on, the line burst from age, the compressor never turned off and ran out of oil and locked up. Somehow while leaving the parking lot of the fire trail, he rolled my rig. Both claim no more than 5mph, I don't buy it. Now my newly built 93 Cobra engine is missing on 2 cylinders. Plugs looked good, he claims it wasn't hydro locked. He drove home until something started smelling, hoping it was just the OBA compressor siezing. And he wonders why I never let him take his last for a ride on my R6.

Parts do you know good when you don't have time. Already have a bunch of projects in line ahead of it. Gonna need a whole tub, the floor supports are shot.

She did scrap her arm up, but the seats belts kept them in place.
Thats the thing, he said sorry and offered to buy it, of course not knowing the real value of it. Yes it was a beat old tub, but the parts were right. Years ago, my uncle got his tractor stuck while bush hogging a pond, I took dads tractor that he had used the day before bush hogging our farm, I rode down the road and basically stayed in the road to pull my uncle out. To this day he still swears I ran over a stab and put a hole in that tire. It never went flat, just had a big gash in the tread. Either way, it was fixed but he has never let it go. I see why kids move away, I should have.

Time to make a buggy out of it!

You should sell it to him right after you pillage it for all the good stuff.

I had an incident with my harley and a family member. Let someone keep it while I was deployed. That person lowered the drag bars and wound up scratching the shit out of my tank. Then they dropped it and broke the clutch handle in half and marred up the pegs and grips. I got it back that way and never got as much as an apology.

I did move away and never looked back.
