Shortly after this video, while traveling on the same trail, I bottomed out a couple times and broke my oil pump pick up. Getting home was quite an adventure.

Man, that road looks rough! Did you just overfill it with oil & drive home? I just bought a o/p skid plate to prevent that.

Hey Trey,
Where did you get the skip plate and how muck was it. Did you put it one yet? How easy is the install?

it's a long story.
It started last thursday when i got my helmet camera(thanks Mark) and thought that it would be a great idea to go test it out on the ortega hwy to show the group a preview of the upcomming run on March 14th. On Friday, I went in my spider and took a solo run up hwy 74 from Lake elsinore going west. I drove out to the county line and turned around and drove back, creating a short film in each direction. I then drove down to escondido and took another short solo run of one of my favorite local roads, filming it aswell. At least I thought that i was filming it. :shock: When i got home and put the memory card into the computer, I discovered that i had taken 6 photos, rather than 3 videos.
*i just got kicked off the computer, i will finish the story tomorrow, i mean later on today)
