So this weekend after getting my savage x all fixed up with the ofna 125cc tank and a THS pipe, while using my brother in laws old s-25 engine while I wait to get an LRP z.28r spec 3, I took out my neighbors mailbox.
I was hauling the mail, or at least as fast as the little s-25 could get my savage going, I caught a bump in front of my neighbors house, the savage started to cartwheel and took out a mailbox. The mailbox must have flew 3 to 4 feet in the air off of its mount. Luckily it was a plastic mailbox and just snapped back in place, but it was quite funny. On the run I also took out both of my front a-arms. I had street shoes on the savage, so when I hit the grass, it was kind of hard to control, but that is the fun of it. I don't have any pictures unfortunately.
On a side note, the ofna 125cc tank is a must have now that I have it. I will never run another savage with a stock tank, unless it isn't mine. No half tank lean is a beautiful thing. No more tuning constantly is nice. I set my savage up to run on the pavement in front of my house by taking out the preload spacers on the shocks and putting on some road rage tires. It handled better than it ever has, but part of that could have been that it could barely break the tires loose. It will be fun to see what happens when I get an LRP.
