i have been good. i have no idea when the ride is. my gueass from previous years is somewhere around the 23rd. i will let you know on those axles. our friends that we quad with at the lake have lifts on there bikes this year and are having bad luck with axles. so next time i will mention it to them. you wouldn't be able to recognize my bike if you saw it. i have no more snorkels because i melted a hose on every ride. so just said screw it. i also put the rad back down. it was to hot for me going slow on the trails. i am now in the process of bulding a stereo for the quad. got the materials and everything real cheap off ebay.
