Those darn Rallies!
My son and I rode my 1971 and 1973 Slash 5's to the Rally. Bikes ran about as good as it gets. On the return route heading northbound on WA State Route 25 I struck a rock. I didn't bother to record it's size in my brain, it was enough mass to bend the rim and pop the headlight out. Duct tape fixed the hanging headlight and since the tire was holding air I rode on home. My question is how do I bend this rim back into or near its original shape? I like character but this is not what I had in mind!
Regards,
Kurt
PS: rally was great! Thx to all the workers!
