Any of the 5 guys who got the Z-Ya special bushings want to sell them to me?


Jake, I got the pieces (cut steel tubes) in yesterday. They sent it a day late (on top of the week delay) and it arrived yesterday. When are you available? I'm free next week whenever.

Dude, it's not dry heat...Arizona & Cali have dry heat.....this is like a swamp out there. Anytime there is a heat index....there is humidity added to it.

BTW, Q......I'm still waiting to play some pong !

I didn't think it was that bad when I was outside, but I base it off of how sticky and crappy my skin feels which probably is hardly accurate. There are worst days where it felt like complete ***, even with no sun.

We'll meet some day Chris, still training in process.

Off for me to training, my last day in camp is today.

Not worth it to me to stand out there in 100+ degrees picking up cones. You'd have to kill me before I do anything outside in this texas heat right now.

You only stand on the course once in the AM runs & one more time in the Afternoon runs. Total time is only like 30 mins each.

I just bring an umbrella to stay in the shade.

paint or powdercoat? powdercoat is so much more durable, i think it would have been worth paying a bit more. either way its gonna look great. i love white wheels on DB.
