The return... With a twist.

Go black on the frame and swing arm and frame.

If Musselman gets in that 4 way 125 race, I am putting my money on Mark to come out on top. He probably is still about 160lbs.

Go green! :D

Think it was Musselman who stood his KTM on it's front wheel on the way down to the starting line at HVMC. My first time seeing that. Eventually tried it with my first disc on the new YZ 490 but it wasn't a beautiful thing. :)

Regarding Musselman, I saw him wring out a KRW-built 88 KTM 125 ( an old "lefty" for those that remember...) and win the 125 A class at DMC circa 1995. I was impressed.
 
So here is the game changing frame idea. First it is silver metallic which is almost the stock color. Then, because we all know how thick you spray powder or paint, it will wear off. I had a thinned out version of rhino lining sprayed on the sides and bottom. Thinning it out cased some running so I did not get the crisp lines I was hoping for but hey, it's a frame. They say it will not chip or wear. Will it work? Guess we will find out. Either way. I like it and I have never seen a two tone frame. So it something different. And pretty darn cheap. Well within the cheapo budget.
Now tell me you thought of that??? Liar.

Not sure you are the first to use Rhino on a frame and not too sure how that will work on the footpeg brackets. But you can do frame touch up with silver and black Sharpie markers to keep it looking good...

I forget to peel the tape in that area. Here you go.
And since no one told me about the rhino lining then it's all my idea.

Only 2 ounces of weight added from the rhino lining.
Speaking of bolts. Refinished all large bolts with salt bath nitriding and special oils designed to penetrate the micro porosity. Higher strength and reduction of coefficient of friction

Started at 286. Cheated to lose it. Had the gastric ballon (look it up) put in my stomach on June 10. Basically I eat 800 calories a day. Never drink ANYTHING while eating. Not even water. Then run/jog 3 miles a day
 
I'm familiar with the procedure. One of the many that come through my unit.

You'll lose another 50 easy if you keep at 800. That's gotta be a damn struggle.

Or did you do a non surgical procedure ? I dint know why the clinic doesn't do more of those. That balloon is great. Reversible and doesn't change your anatomy. Best of both worlds. That's awesome.
 
Takes 15 minutes to put it in. Stays there for 6 months then comes out. So easy. First week SUCKS with stomach cramps but then you get used to it
 
I don't think you should mess with your anatomy when it comes to gastric bypass. Unless totally necessary like cancer etc to try to increase quality of life. I've just seen so many gastric bypasses go bad. But these are procedures where they totally change your anatomy and are irreversible. That balloon looks phenomenal. Any complications boom they deflate and pull it out. Not that easy with the traditional bypass. It's just obstruction after obstruction after obstruction and sepsis. I hate thinking about it.

Now after the 6 months do they replace it or by then do you have your lifestyle goals in order to where you should be able to manage on your own?

Your on your own after 6 months. If you go back to eating like a pig you will gain it back. If I pay $6500 for this and do all this work, no way am I going back. My diet makes me feel great. I don't need Oreo's
 
Yea the battle with weight loss is 90% mental. Congrats man. I hope you get down to ideal weight. What's ideal for your height?
