Back in business...

[G Impala 63n70]

Uh, Pile of dale (literally) traded for this running blaster.! It has MX holeshots on back, fmf silencer (obnoxious), Kill switch, and Port and polish, new crank.
Theres gonna be mixed feelings on this one. I dont know bout u guys, but wouldnt u rather ride than be depressed and stare at a quad going nowhere.?
Not a 450, not a 400ex, not a 300ex even. Works for me though.
Blaster= Better than charcoal.

[jwick07]

good call I'm with you all the way I have done the same with street bikes, I bought a 250ninja just for something to ride. Smallest bike I have everbought but hey it got me through the summer and I just sold it and only lost $100 bucks for four months of riding. Good deal

[400exrules]

[Mxjunkie]

Blasters are fun as hell and now you can atleast ride it.

I say excellent trade I would of done the same thing if I were in your shoes!

yeah that is what i was wondering. i think he got screwed. good for you. i know i would have done that.

[G Impala 63n70]

well the motor was good,everything was there., it had potential, i just dont have the money or time to restore it. and + i never liked it. miss my honda.

Id sell the blaster

[G Impala 63n70]

Its for sale, not like advertisingly needs to go type. but if someones got the money and wants a decent quad, go ahead i need money to build a 400ex.

[honda92]

you gonna keep the Ether away from this one?

[G Impala 63n70]

Haha not unless it wont start! :cool: \

hey man, sorry i let you down about buying it, trust me, i was nervous selling it without u seeing it. it was worse than u thought it was.

[honda92]

yea dont worry about it. have fun with your new one.

[CannondaleRider]

ether?

Is there something you didn't tell us over at CannondaleRiders...or are you guys joking?

[03CAN]

HEY GLAD YOUR BACK UP AND RUNNING!!!! Have fun with your new quad!

[honda92]

CannondaleRider, i dont think it was the battery's fault. i read a post somewhere either on here or cannondaleriders.com about using Ether to get it to fire. If this is what happened just let us know, everyone makes mistakes. it just seems kind of weird that the airbox wasnt on when it caught fire....

[G Impala 63n70]

Uhh ether i used a long time ago when it wasnt getting gas, that wasnt the case, this was deff a backfire, the airbox wasnt on, either that or the battery exploded cuz it was being fussy with me;

[LTZ400rider]

was that frame good, steering stem, a arms? swinger, that cannondale was a rolling chassis. atleast u have something to ride though. id sell the blaster and save up for something bigger

[rancid]

drop in a yz250 motor and do a little updating, and you will have somthing to beat the dales or any 450.

[honda92]

the frame was shot, it was cracked and it was missing mounts i believe.

[Honda TRX250ex]

what happend to that blaster!!!:eek2:

[MR.BIG]

Good deal I wouldn't want to mess with that dale either.

[CdaleXtreme]

all of Cannondales Alluminum parts are heat treated for strength. Once alluminum gets heated to an extreme temp. It becomes like butter and would be useless.

I would wager the same with the engine cases also.

That thing was scrap, and the people who traded you are idiots. But I would have done the same thing in your shoes!

That so called idiot is posting on this thread i think:huh

[rancid]

it just got a little sprucing up.

[Guy400]

If you were about to jump on this quad to ride it and it caught fire why were the fenders and airbox off the quad? And what's the story with the ether? Are you sure you weren't trying to get it to start by spraying ether down the intake and an accident happened?

[G Impala 63n70]

I wasnt not about to jump on the quad and ride it, it was apart the night before cleaning fuel system, and i went to move it to get my lawnmower out! wasnt even on it, just stood to the side and went to start it, and boom. Shut up about the ether everyone damnit i did NOT use either anywhere near the time of the accident or even weeks before that! I think i know what went down, i was there! Not flaming, but its annoying i didnt use ether, i wasnt about to go ride the quad around, just move it. And if i wanted to do this on purpose which i know some ppl think, i think i woulda like stripped the good parts, and most of all. Got insurance on it right? no around here we burn our quads and money for fun! Then move to blasters! :o

[bradley300]

you can make a blaster pretty nice, and there a heck of alot of fun to ride
