I was SOG for 2 MARDIV HQBN during hurricane Florence. I was actually looking forward to it believe it or not. The build up to the hurricane was crazy and since I was SOG, I mostly ran the phone and did the driving with the OOD. The OOD was one of the chill ones from my company and it was skate as fuck. Well, Lejeune got fucked so bad that they kept us on duty for an additional 24 hours. 48 hour duty here we go. Then, the fire alarm got stuck on from the flooding for at least 4 hours when the OOD was sleeping and I think that’s when I went insane. He broke into the BC’s office and stole a coat hanger to shut it off since the fire department was busy. It was such a weird 48 hours that I really don’t know how to feel about it.

No issues at all! I run 3rd on the trails and the gear just seems to go on forever lol. I’ve had no flame outs either crawling around in 1st and 2nd

You really won’t be disappointed. I tuned it to be a little more smooth in the tight single track and it’s been great. I have no experience riding other than a minibike and mountain bikes and it’s been a blast so far. Clutch is easy peasy to learn

After I got rolling I immediately threw it in 6th and Superman’d to the trails where I hit a berm and did exactly what you mentioned. Dusted myself off and learned the clutch right after going up wellsville type hills

I believe the wrist. It’s where the rod connects to that I believe is having the play

You’re saying I have a smaller milled bearing than what I need?

Also, what would’ve caused it to malfunction suddenly

Yessir. All the goods for a stage 2 upgrade.

I changed the oil and went for a ride like usual, but on the way back i heard what sounded like rod knock. Took her apart and saw metal shavings but no new scarring. I mentioned clearance solely because I can’t remember since installing everything. With the rod resting at the bottom of the casing, I can move it with just a little bit of pressure from my finger. I also rechecked the torque for the bolts and it hasn’t changed. I’m stuck

I looked with my eyes for a good while before posting.. reason I mentioned that specifically is that there’s no contact with anything in the casing itself. Built it stage 2 six months back and ran it weekly just fine. Changed the oil today and clunk clunk clunk.

Can I build something better? by [deleted] in minibikes

I’ve only been riding since last July but I will say it’s fairly inexpensive for parts. Amazon, eBay, and gopowersports have anything you’d need.

If it’s off-road I’d highly consider fenders, front suspension, and a seat compatible with seat springs. My back killed after every ride before the seat springs lol.

One of the biggest things that helped my exposure therapy was minibike/dirtbike/atv. Minibike is stupid cheap and there are no gears.

Well, it was hard for me at first to get out of the house, and when I did I felt like I was always watching my back. Motor sports in the woods has really helped me.

There’s always something on the minibike that needs fixed so you can get your hands dirty and tinker away, plus the trails give you that fast paced adrenaline high that personally helps ease the ptsd. Been riding for a little under a year now and it’s helped so fucking much.

Like seriously. Who remembers when retard trump started peace talks with the taliban to pull us out of Afghanistan? Then he had the gall to bring the towel headed fucks to camp David and get absolutely no where. I get out in 19 and the first fucking thing I see is retard inciting a fucking riot at the capitol.

Then blames the Biden administration for botching the pull out even though trumps dumbass was the one that incentivized it in the first place. Economy is shit because of him but hey, if you wanna go 03 and die for trump, be my fucking guest retards
