Saved by the Protector

[stein700sx]

Noticed something off this morning while doing my pre ride check. The track had chunks missing all the way around on one side. Did some checking to see why and I found out why. I've lost a few track clips again but one decided to hang around. He decided to hang out in the front exchanger protector. Lucky for me that it went into the protector and not into the exchanger itself.

Yep.That clip couldn't have hit in a better spot.Counted 9 missing clips and 8 broken ones.The track is now officially trashed.

You sir are very lucky.

where were u today stein..always wrenching or what????Put on 80 miles on the Red today.Perfect for riding on.Better save up for a new track there.Bad luck is on your side or what,don't hear things about track clips coming apart usually.Grab your secondary sled and lets get out on the RED tomorrow.

Was trying to find a way to repair the track but toooooooo many clips are trashed.
My neighbor came down and shot the shat for awhile and then convinced to go splashing. Old sx is still running strong.
What time you thinkin of going out tomorrow?

I like to go as early as I can because it is going to warm up to 4 C later.Do you have a way to get to the Red yet.How far are you to the Rat and the Red.A buddy of mine was thinking about coming with me tomorrow and using my 600,I'll know later tonight if he e-mails me. This could almost be the last days to ride.There are a few cooler days next week,but next Friday 4 C and probably warmer the weekend following.
In all,I think I will be running at least by 10 am for sure or earlier.

I've got about 5 miles between me Red and the Rat intersection. There might be a little snirt on the way but should not be a prob. Let me know and I'll meet you there.
