When I was in my 20's we used to go to Templeton every weekend. That place was awesome. There were a couple large sand pits, and miles and miles of trails - pretty much every style of riding right in one location. Loved that place. We pretty much lived there every weekend in the early to mid 90's. We'd park, then ride trails, cross Rt.2, and play around in that pit next to the highway. Some crazy steep hills there. Used to love that. I think I have a picture of me riding the hill in the area where we used to park - can't seem to find it though ...

 

Last time I was there was in '04 too, in winter. I had just bought a brand new Kawasaki V-Force 700, and the wife and I took a cruise around on some snowmobile trails. Wow - learned real quick that people don't like that, LOL. Some waved, others flipped me off, some swore at the top of their lungs at me through their helmets. Didn't figure it out until I got home and told someone who was into snowmobiles where I was riding ... :lol:

 

That place is totally off limits to motorized recreation now too. This place is getting worse and worse by the year ...

 

 

 

Yeah it's sad. NH still had a good amount of class 6 roads but who knows how long they'll last.

My back is killing me. Got the fronts together. Now after a break i need to start on the rear. Have the swamp cooler going. Still have to call my stepdad to get these bled. After wheel 3 i will text them. Wish i bought the motive bleeder, but could not justify the $70 on it

I have a motive. Used it one time and that's it. Tried three different attempts at using it when I bought it and all it did was leak everywhere. Couldn't get it to seal to the master cylinder to save my life. Really pissed me off.

I cant get the back right to bleed. A little fluid comes out, no real pressure. Caliper doesnt even move when pedal pushed

Supposed to bleed that one first

Chris, check that bleeder for machining debris, or a missing hole inside - believe it or not, I've seen the latter more than once the past 5 years. Had a bleeder once that wasn't even drilled on a brand new caliper, wtf.

 

 

I just did a front brake overhaul on a '96 Plymouth Breeeeeeeze. That's how you have to say it. Breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze .... :lol:

 

It left half itself in my driveway, after I hammered on it for so long with an air chisel that it bored a hole right through the rotor. Took me 20 straight minutes with the chisel and fire wrench to extract it from the hub. Welcome to the Northeast! :rolleyes:
