if you dont mind me asking how much did the 06 cost? im looking at getting one in the summer but im leaning toward gettin an 04 leftover at the dealership for a low dicounted price.

I will be there. I only live half hour away in St thomas,beside a drag strip. they let 4wheelers run down there for 15 to 20 bucks,run as many times as u want. I will let you guys know how fast my trx is after I get it and is broken in. I ran my crf 450r down and ran 13.09 seconds at 96 miles with 15 tooth on the front,that was quarter mile,hit 85 miles at 1/8 mile that was fun even 1000cc bikes had trouble beeting that. Anyway if any of want to run your 4wheelers let me know.:D

DO you know when the poker run is, there a blast. I would like it if they do the drag races again. It would be great if I have my new wheeles by then.

I still have my '03 CRF 450. I'm not ready to give it up.

All my MX friends have quit riding ( or only ride 1-2 times per year ). We are all mid 30's to mid 40's with family obligations...

One of my neighbors took me to Tower City with his group of quad riding buddies ( same 30-40 age group ) and I had a blast.

I then purchased my 06 TRX450. I like the quad a lot...we are headed to Hatfield Mcoy in 2 weeks.

I think the transition is a natural progression.

As I get older I will progress from:

1) MX dirt bike 30-40's

2) GNCC quad 30's- 50

3) Utility 4wd quad 50-70

4) Motorized golf cart 70-80's

5) Electric wheelchair 80+

Hopefully I'll be the 85 year old guy riding his heavily modded wheelchair up and down curbs.

BTW, I purchased my quad from Shenandoah Honda in Winchester, Va. Dave took good care of me. $6,000 + tax
Give him a call.


Just my thoughts,

Jim H
