dirtbike weekend
After the bike blew up we brought it to my house. We then began to rip the bike engine to pieces and it was a pain because there were so many pieces. We were not really being too careful to keep track of where all the pieces went. We finally got the engine all apart and the piston head was just destroyed. The piston had cracks all over in it and a large section of it's side was missing. There were shards of metal in the engine. We cleaned the metal pieces out and we put on a new piston and rings that we had ordered. After having problems with the gear box and clutch plates we somehow got it back together. There were problems we had when putting it back together but we managed. Once we finished we put coolant and oil in the bike. Then me and 5 other people went and rode out at a track in republic but the track wasn't very good. It was so run down i didn't even want to ride it. I did a few loops but it was pretty boring so i just rode in a field the whole time. Me and two other friends just rode in the field because the field was funner than the track. We raced across the field and practiced wheelies. The only problem was that the bike we were wrenching on was leaking coolant. Apparently we didn't tighten down a nut on th headbolt on top of the piston very well because there was no nut on there. The collant, which is pressurized inside the engine was being forced out of the cracks that did not have seals due to the missing nut. So his biking was steaming and smoking from coolant leaking out onto the engine. The next day we went out to my friends camp and did a little bird hunting. We also baited a bear blind out there too. We stayed out at the camp for a little while bu nothing much happened. We didn't see any birds or anything.
