Soapstone Ride

[Kinarfi]

My wife left me and took off with another woman She went to Disney land with my sister in law. She'll be back this evening

So, I took off Tuesday and went for a ride in a place called Soapstone Basin, about 20 miles east of Heber, Utah and came home on Friday. Wish I'd had some company, but I had some good rides, put about 200 miles on the Trooper and saw some great scenery. Took a few panoramic videos and some photos, but probably not enough to do justice to the area. I have .gpx files if any one wants them, Just drop me PM with your email & I'll send them to you, I haven't figured any other way to pass them on.

Any way, enjoy the photos, http://rides.webshots.com/album/580716823rWIfWR

Oh yea, saw some pretty neat things, too, woke up the first morning and there was a buck deer about 15 feet from my camper pawing at the ground for what was left of a salt lick, watched him for about 10 minutes until it took off when a runner came down the road. Also saw what I thought was 3 wolves, but as I analyzed what I saw, I believe what I saw was a coyote with 2 great pyrenees sheepdogs on his tail and they were all in high gear.

While I was out riding, I noticed a broken weld at the top of what would be the windshield to the bar going back on the right, after looking closer, I noticed the left side was broken also, but hadn't separated.

Also had one of my shock limiting straps break, replaced them both today. I don't know if anyone else has shocks that can over extend, and needs limiting straps, but to monitor the straps, I have wrapped tape around the axles so that if the axle hits the swing arm, it rubs the tape off.

While I had it up in air working on the straps, I checked the wheels for wobble and, unfortunately, I had some on the right wheel, and I had just put a new bearing in last month, will order roller bearings tomorrow, and also a power steering unit.

I thought you put roller bearings in?

I thought you put roller bearings in?

No, my original bearings had failed, so I talked to Silverbullet and ordered some rollers, but told him if they were too far out, send ball bearings. Rollers were weeks out, so he gave me a real good deal on ball bearing to get me up and running. Will be contacting him today.

Kinarfi,

Hate to tell you but it is the HUB, not the bearing! I have the same problem, ya just have to drive it and wait for Lenny to start a machining business to repair the hubs or buy a new hub. The steel is too soft in the Hub for the design! Check you bearing before you waste the money on new bearings!
