Greetings and salutations all...

Well I reckon a little introduction about me self... So far I have owned 3 Ford's all Rangers, and Ford's have always been in the family. I'm 22 graduated from college last May with a BSME (Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering) and I am into the real world as an Applications Engineer for SKF Bearings. Nice gig... Mostly I am off-roading with my Ranger. A nice 2001 Edge in Bright Red. Went through a 94 2WD and a 2000 4WD. Been a life long fan of the Mustang... Just waiting until I can afford the insurace on one. In my spare time I spend it either on my motorcycles or the snowmobiles... If it's got a motor then I'm usually on it! Oh and when I don't feel the need for piston power I'm on my mountain bikes... K2 full suspension and Giant Hard Tail....

As always any one close to Cattaraugus, NY drop me a line I'm always up for something....

Welcome Wacky! Are you still spark knocking? Still haven't found a fix for mine. I posted pics of my truck and SVO down further in this forum, couldn't remember whether I had sent it to you or not. Didn't know you were into bikes, I used to be a big time dirt biker, got older and now spend more time on HD's. Still want a dirt bike or 4 wheeler again someday if I can find a place to ride it.

Sorry Mike

I lost your e-mail addy... I finally got my truck back... No spark knock yet... It's been pretty cold here... She's running like a top so far....

I like bikes... alot.. used to race dirt bikes in hare scrambles and enduro circuits around home... Too bad they all just phased out....

So now I'm into street bikes... With the occasional off trail trip with the D/P Bike....

I would take it in to the dealer and have them run a diagnostics test.. All under warrenty of course

Cheers.... Mike

I'm set up to get mine checked out next week. Hopefully it will show something. I used to motocross a lot. We had a river back home that overflowed a dam, the resulting gorge from the river running down the mountain was a perfect place for a track. Used to break a bone there once in a while, know what I mean? First time I ran the track I attempted to jump a 7-8' wide ravine, trouble was the other side was as high as the side I was lauching from. Hit head on into the other side at probably 40 and broke both collar bones. It's funny now.

I just posted to you on another forum here as well, not sure which one. This place is huge.

WNY' ers unite!

Why is it that everyone from WNY:

a) races motorcycles (motorcross/superbike/etc)

b) has a VERY NASTY crash story to tell that they laugh about now that it's over?


It's just something I've noticed lately


I can't wait for a heatwave to hit. Motorcycle withdrawl is really killing me right now

Hey Rx3... I've did both...

I used ot race dirt bikes... and just last December (2000) I rolled my then brand new Ranger.... I guess I was trying out for the Joey Chitwood Show Damn Firestone tires packed up with slush and as I hit the soft and chewy field I slid into the tires stuck and sank into the mud, therefore throwing me tumbing to my roof.... I only barrell rolled 2 1/2 times... But it totalled the truck good.... Hey those Ranger cages hold up well!

Cheers... Mike

Hey, I could write a book. And just for the record, I'm from WV, so not all the crazy ones are in WNY. I've hit cars with a bike when the car coming towards me made a left turn, rolled backwards off high walls on strip mines, wrecked more cars/trucks than I can count. And I have the maximum safe driver discount through my insurance. Grew up late in life. Went airborn in a 280Z one time at over 100 when it spun out on a wet spot, turned around and started to lift. Needed those Nascar roof flaps. Ended up going up and embankment, bouncing off a tree, and falling off a 15' rock cliff back onto the edge of the highway. Rolled a 78 F150 stepside with 3" suspension and 3" body lift with 12.50 x 33's on it one time, took forever for that thing to complete a roll. Maybe will do a book sometime as there are always stories behind the stories.

Yeah, this cold weather does suck. The old HD that I have is probably rusted from waiting for winter to end.
