My first ride since Daytona

[Brenden]

damn frosty...
well atleast you got a back up boat sorta
hey look on the bright side...ask your wife if you can do a little makeover on that motor haha

 

[yamasaki]

dam that sucks.

ok, so, next cylinder gets a girdled head tho, right?

 

[sflsurfrider]

did you store that ski in subfreezing temperatures?

a ported cylinder thats ungirdled can easily crack right there in the corner of the casting and feezing water can expand the already compromised metal in that area. just a theory.

id shyt my shorts if i pulled the hood of one of my skis to see that!

 

[Frosty]

i just ordered a bunch of stuff and hell yes I will be changing from a non girdled head to a girdled head for sure.

my new ski should be back from paint this week... the motor for that ski is sitting on the bench ready to go - with a girdled head, ported, etc etc... i should be back on the water next week.

minor set back... at least it happened early in the season and not in the middle of the summer.

i was actually more pissed about the speeding ticket i got... grrrrrrrrr

and yeah it's stored in an unheated garage... might have just been it's time

my "backup boat" is actually better... = )

 

[Frosty]

Can't you pop the sleeves out and use them in another cylinder? With some clean up porting ?

not sure... i'll have to ask about that.

 

[Proformance1]

That is a good point also. We did drive from Daytona, right into the snow, and considering that is where it is ported.... Hmmmm. Could be a water freezing issue, but it did run fine for at least 15 minutes. It should have went before that, if it was cracked.

 

[turnagainhardcore]

That really sucks dude!!! But at least you will be back out in about a week or so. how much did your ticket end up costing you?

 

[djkorn1]

Shooooooooooot....now I'm afraid to throw my ski in the water....:rocketwhore:

not sure yet... my attorny is "taking care of it" = )

sure it will still end up being about $100 in parking tickets, but no points, no school... so i don't care.

 

[Big Kahuna]

I call that "wore slap out"

 

[Frosty]

I call that "wore slap out"

you think the cylinder was just wore out? that's what i was thinking...

this is just not my month... my rotator cuff is killing me, and i hurt my neck at the gym this morning... WTF!!!!!!!!! maybe i need to just take time off and drink heavily....

It could have been much worse you could have been towed in by a 3D. Sorry about your bad luck, take a few days off.

now youre just getting unnecessarily graphic.

 

[Proformance1]

Hey come on, take it easy on us SXR riders this morning. I only rode that 3D the one time. uke:

 

[kx454]

what sucked even more was getting towed in by an SXR - holy crap was it cold being in the water from a 1/4 mile out.

:nana: to the whole superjet crowd

 

[yamasaki]

:nana: to the whole superjet crowd

in conclusion:

:splatt: <-- sxr

:barrel: <-- superjet

:haha: i'll have to give it to ya there, that was a good one....

 

[turnagainhardcore]

If it was a 3D you could fit most of your ski on the rear tray since it is like 3 feet wide!!:Banane57::dunce:
