so I went for a ride with my brother in law yesterday, a run we do every year that is usually about 100 miles door to door. Everything went great there but I kept hearing this funny sound from my clutch side, a little sounding similar to ratcheting ( best way I can describe it ). On our way back, about 60 miles into the ride I noticed a vibration in the running boards but thought it was my belt on its way out. We got closer to home and the vibration got worse...and to top it off I had 1 bar of fuel and thought I was going to run out and no gas station anywhere close. Well we made it home and as I pulled down my street the vibration was through the handle bars and was horrible, so in the garage it goes and up on the stand and this is what I found...

How many km's on that?
6000 miles, good news is that Iantomasi ( local sled guru ) has a used stub and can use my sheeves....should be all fixed up next week. They all looked at it and said they've never seen one do that before, and they've been in the biz for many years.

Gotta love the positive spin.
Well, it's all fixed up, I have the Schmidt Bros stage 2 clutch kit installed and going to see how it runs. I took it for a quick blast in the yard at Iantomasi's shop and it seemed to pull pretty good and loaded up on the very easily, something it never did with the drag n flys. Here are some pics of the bad lol
