That was a cool race, unless your Dale JR, he got hosed big time. I wouldn't have wanted to be Kyle " I wreck everybody to win " Bush last night night trying to get out of Virginia . Even your HotWheels super bad bike wouldn't have made that journey safe ! 
I think the last perosn to try to leave Virginia with mad hostile Confederates on thier tail was General Grant , and I hear that did not go well either that day . I hope they clubbed Bush with a stick last night while he cowardly escaped the South , again . That guy is out of control . that's ok, paybacks a you know what I just wish Steven Wallace could have gotten a bigger face-full of Helmet the other night at the National race and pulled his scrawney butt inside the car and whipped on him like a good Southern boy does best . |
Yeah I always try and watch all the locally televised races. Yes Kyle is
quite the young driver, but he has a lot of maturing to do. He's a punk
in my opinion. Bout all I'm gonna say on that one.
I'm not a big Jr. fan either although I do find it funny that he had to go
to Hendrick's to get the job done. Couldn't afford to put good equiptment
under his butt at DEI? Pretty sad really.

I like mowing my lawn with Knobby tires , now that's what a good man mows with .
John Deer aint got nothing on my dirt bikes 8O
It is supposed to be nice today, sunny , yeh right . It rained like a mother yesterday here , kinda cold too , was nice to get home and be out of that crap yesterday . I was going to ride but I just couldn't get my motivation up enough to go out and freeze . I would have sucked more water in my carb than I care too anyway , it was raining that hard . Thank God Almighty Nascar saved me from having to go out in that stuff . I love night races . We just sat around watching the race and deep fried some Oysters and Prawns Tempura style last night instead . |
Naw, haven't gotten out in a couple of days. Chilly wet weather here as
well. Maybe tomorrow? Watching the news right now keeping fingers
crossed.

The physics are the same that is , the geometry of it is backwards than the normal way but it should keep the chain tight either way it is sprung, plus keeps it off the swingarm reguardless too . Will let you know how I manage the set-up though or if I can do it at all the way I want to ? Right now with the chain running under the roller, it works just fine , but there is some play that I would like to take out of the chain when jumping, so I will work on that reverse sprung roller thing today .
I am a Pollock and so was Albert Instien the Scientist , so I think I can handle it I am indian too , so if it fails I will just smash it with my Tomahawk ! Either way I will Gitter-Done 8O |
I look forward to see what you come up with. I tried reversing the spring
on mine, but no luck. Can't even remove it because the chain will rub the
prong for the tensioner. I will keep thinking.
Maybe something like this? I'm sure the swingarm costs more than I have
in my whole bike... laughs.

ROFL... naw I like the dirty look. It makes the machine look well used and
not just couped up in the garage as it really is. Actually I do want to give
it a bath, but am holding off until I can get everything just the way I want
it. I plan to replace the sprockets and chain as well as the tires and tubes
once funds permit. I have a ton of things to sell to try and fund these
puchases. Just have to make time to take pics and get it all listed.
Here is a pic of the tensioner without the chain running over it. You should
be able to see what I am saying by the chain will hit the tensioner post if
I remove it from this pic.
