So i'm tooling around on the track at jenningsGP thinking about whether or not im going to make it through T3 at this speed or crash and burn in the woods somewhere behind T5 and later have my decomposing body found by some hillbilly and end up in a stew when and all of a sudden i can't find my shifter. Lets pit in a see whats up. I take a look and see that the push rod on the shift linkage is sheared of just above the quick-shifter. Guess thats it then for the day. Oh no. Voo walks over to Chad and ask him to come take a look. Chad goes, hmm. Ask's a couple of question and is of to his area to rummage through a box of shifter rods. He finds one and sticks it on the bike and has me test fit. after we adjusted the threads out if wouldve worked but that wasnt good enough for Chad. he said. step back bitches. i do shit right and half ass nothing. THis guy grabs some aluminum stock (black i might add because he has a sense of astethics) and start milling me a custome shift linkage right there on his lathe. Once finished we go back to the bike and the it's frgging perfect. Much sturdier as well.

We should have this guy on retainer at every private track event.

Thanks Chad.

:thumbsup: It was starting to look like a waste to lug that thing to the track. Thanks for giving me a reason to use it.

No!!!! If you keep him on retainer, then he has less time for my bikes!

Thanks Chad for lending me your backup battery! Would've been dead in the water without it.
