Well I finally did it

[hungus07trx400]

Ordered a set of +2 houser long travel a arms and Elka piggyback long travel shocks. I've already spent more on this quad in aftermarket stuff than I did on my first car. Im going to go throw up :p

[mcwilly]

LMAO

[400ex28]

Sounds good man, your going to love the setup.

[hornetgod13]

When you spend more on aftermarket stuff than the cost of the Quad New than you're in Deep! I surpassed that mark 6 months ago.

[hungus07trx400]

I see it coming, I now have 4 cross country tires mounted on douglas rims, and on order i have 4 MX tires mounted on douglas rims and an axle. I have the airplane "Im feeling a little dizzy" bags ready to go.

[Honda#4]

When you spend more on aftermarket stuff than the cost of the Quad New than you're in Deep! I surpassed that mark 6 months ago.

I agree, seems like everytime I add something up on paper the list gets bigger and bigger, I feel like im gettin deeper and deeper and theres no way out, the bug has given me a disease I cant get rid of.

[tri5ron]

lmao,
Now I've already tried to explain this disease to guys before.
it's called--
A.A.D.S.
( Accesory Aquisition Disorder Syndrome )

You are BORN with it.
There's nothing you can do about it.
(Trust me, I've been through the 12 step program,
and the weekly group support meetings)

It is TERMINAL !
There is NO CURE.
It controls everything you do.
The best way to deal with it is to simply accept it,
(The hardest part is getting your Wife to accept it)

Now go find peace in your soul,.....

(and Piece, after Piece, after PIECE, AFTER PIECE, for your Quad)

[Honda#4]

Actually having my wife"well soon to be" made my A.A.D.S get 10x worst, but she loves what I do and is kinda gettin the disease like me.

[REPOMAN]

i know the feeling i have over 12 into mine already.

[bearair]

So there's no hope? Dang. I've owned the quad a month and I'm already seriously stricken with the disease. Of course, I've always had the disease as everything with wheels I've ever owned has been modified.

In the last month I've purchased the quad (new 2007) and put about $1500 into it so far. I'm sending the shocks off to be revalved/sprung by C&D next week. Custom ordered new Works shocks for my wife's 250ex a couple days ago. Going to put new tires on the rear of hers to help handling. It never stops.

Just put the +2 JD Performance A-arms and tie rods on yesterday. I'm going to go try it out tonight or tomorrow morning.

I feel your pain...

[REPOMAN]

i bought my son a eton 40 the other day and it already has a extended durablue axle on it. "hi my name is jason and i am an ADDICT".
i have a friend that has over 19 grand into his 450r.

haha, easily 3x the cost of the quad new into mine (perhaps a conservative estimate)....I try to think about it as over the course of the 8 years i've owned it which makes me feel better :p Who am I kidding though? lol we all suffer from the same ailment.

[tri5ron]

Quote- "hi my name is jason and i am an ADDICT".

ROTFLMAO

Group Support meetings are held the 6th Saturday of each month,
Welcome to the club.
We WILL NOT attempt to cure you,.......

As I said,.... This is a group S U P P O R T meeting ! :D :D :D

[tar]

I know exactly what you guys mean! I have over 3 grand in mine just in aftermarket stuff and I am only 15 and am now broke lol I am ready to make money this summer so I can drop more money into her!

[BigBore24]

6th saturday of every month...OK ill be there. i thought i was all alone, i am glad to know there are others out there. i havent even added all the $$ ive put into mine and dont even have suspension yet. good thing i do all the work myself or i would be bankrupt and homeless. but what good are the weekends if you cant go out and get muddy

[austin20]

MONEY DONT BUY TALENT
i have a stock 400ex with a slip-on and i beat built 450's every week so if you odnt have the talent dont waste your money

[klutch]

So what you are saying is you are a far superior rider to the rest of us because we spend money on our ATVs? Well congratulations on beating "built 450s" but maybe this guy spends money on his to make it more comfortable because he just rides for fun...? Dude seriously think about it... Not everyone races.

[hungus07trx400]

Yeah why would you post something like that? Everyone was talking about how much they put into their quads and having a good time and you write something totally off topic? Some people have Talent AND money so why not have all the fun you can? Don't be bitter. The Pro's all have loads of talent yet look at all the components on their bikes. You should write them a letter and let them know that all of that aftermarket equipment isn't necessary, Im sure the teams would love to save some of that cash.

[Ruby Soho]

guys dont bother arguing, obviously he isnt very good, because really good riders don't go bragging to people that their better than everyone else on their stock 400ex's. immature

[klutch]

Good it wasn't just me who felt that his comment was totally unnescesary.

i call bs. lets see a vid of this talent douche. dont be mad because your poor and dont have money to spend on your quad its not our fault. and just becaue you "beat" a built 450 that doesnt make you talented. IT MEANS THEY SUCK.

[austin20]

i was just sayin just cause you spend a lot doesnt mean your gna be good and im not braggin by any means i couldnt care less about how i do i was just sayin its a quote i like so calm down and yea im not that talented never said i was if i was i would run b AND I SAID IF YOU DNT HAVE THE TALENT THEN DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY SO I NEVER SAID I WAS BETTER
and too the guy who said i was poor NO ACTUALLY I HAVE TO BUY ALL MY OWN STUFF I HAVE BUT IF YOU MEAN MY PARENTS ARE POOR YOUR FAR FROM IT WE HAVE A 32' FOUNTAIN WITH TWIN 510 SUPERCHARGED, FULLY CUSTOM 359 PTERBILT LOWERED AND STRETCHED, 1974 CORVETTE STINGRAY SO GO AHEAD RUN YOUR DAMB MOUTH AND IF YOU WANT ILL POST PICS OF EACH

man you guys are immature
and too hungus THATS WHY I SAID DONT WASTE MONEY UNLESS YOU HAVE TALENT LEARN TO READ THAT WOULD MEAN IF YOU HAVE TALENT DUMP MONEY IN TO YOUR QUAD

so basically bottomline is you guys are immature and got all off topic and mad because i said money dont buy talent i was even saying that to the guy who atarted the thread i was just stating the quote

[tri5ron]

austin20,

Sometimes us old dumb farts, like to rely on old dumb sayings, to remind ourselfs of past lessons learned.

At just over 16 years old, you might not have heard some of them.
so in case you haven't heard this one, I'll let you in on one of those old sayings.

"It is better to not say anything, and be thought a fool,...
than to open one's mouth, and remove all doubt".

a check on your recent post's, to various threads, prompted me to fill you in on some of those past lessons learned.

[austin20]

AND YEA THE RIDERS I BEAT DEFINATELY ARENT THE BEST BUT I DIDNT SAY THEY WERE I WAS JUST USING AN EXAMPLE TO SUPPORT THE QUOTE THOSE GUYS I RACE SOMETHIMES HAVE A LOT OF MONEY IN THEIR QUADS BUT CANT RIDE SO IT WAS A WASTE

[450rJam]

yeah, the jury will need to see some proof

skill does play a big part but your going to have to blow that smoke up someone elses hind quarters

my name is jimmy and im screwed..........................

A.A.D.S. is contagious, my wife caught it from me and now my
4 kids have all got it.

im pretty sure my neighbor is showing signs also

[austin20]

i dont have to prove anything i dont have any vids sry or i woul dpost them i dont tneed to prove naything to ya cause i dont care what ya think ya mean nuthin too me, and i am far from coky im prolly the quitest person, and like i said i didnt say the riders on the built 450's were good trust me they werent thats why i said that they were guys without talent spendoin alot of money on their quads and it did them no good no where was i braggin so im done wastin my time with ya ya can continue too talk about me behind my back idc the least bit so please be my guest be immature and waste your time

[klutch]

LMAO Austin20 is a new member here and has already been like flamed out of 2 different threads. Nice... 40+ posts of idiocracy. Way to go man.

[klutch]

Oh and please, Learn to type. Every post of yours is a big sentance without a period.

[REDRIDDER]

lmao....:mad: lol

[austin20]

yesssssss woooooooooooo
keep it comin.
think you for youre tips on typing.and actually for your information on the other forum, me and about five other people said we run just talkin and then people got mad so i posted saying "stop talkin about runnin this is a thread about a winter project".
I guess to your immature self thats being FLAMMED OUT.
lol
you people are great

[austin20]

i love how one little quote makes everyone so immature and mad

[klutch]

Oh joy, I was wrong you did attempt to fix your own mistake in the other thread. Good job. Good luck with this one. Keep claling everyone immature its only reflecting on on how immature, you are. So have fun with that. I love how a few people confront you, and you start to freak out.

[hungus07trx400]

I can read just fine. Granted I needed 3 advils to get through your particular posts, but I managed to filter out what you were trying to say :rolleyes:

[austin20]

im not freaking out.
i am mad but just at the people who made personal attacks towards me. Thats B/S to people who said i should not have posted that maybe our rite ii didnt realize that little quote would be such a big deal for the quote im sry. But im just mad like i said about the personal attacks theres no sense for that and that really shows what kind of man those guys are.

[tri5ron]

So now that we've had that nice little commercial break,....
We can return to our original programming.


So hungus...
have you needed to use that air-sickness bag yet ??? :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

did anyone besides me feel dumber after trying to read this garbage? just because you or your family have those cars dont impress me at all little boy. i pay for all my own stuff also. funny that the rest of us are immature yet you started the idiotic bs in this good natured thread that you are no longer welcome in. go play somewhere else. oh and your not the only person with a vette. here we have a nice little 70 stingray 454 big block numbers matching.

[rodeo#11]

im with repoman all the stuff i own was bought by me. I'm only 17 but ive been workin nonstop since i was 13 trying to save enough money to have a decent quad and truck, my parents helped me some at the start but i payed em back cause i didnt feel right taking their money lol. But back on topic hope ya have fun with those new a-arms and shocks, im sure their gonna be way better than stock lol enjoy bud!:D

[austin20]

if i recall your the one who called me poor.
and how does stating a quote ruin a thread, everyone else ruined by getting offended and off topic and your just carrying it on.
and i would post pics of our stuff to prove were not poor but i am not as lame as you

[austin20]

yea i hope you enjoy those new a-arms and shocks
ive been lokin in to gettin a set

[RaginRedneck]

Wow. Poor, rich, talented, untalented...this thread has covered it all.

I will say this to you kind sir, I would say that your postings make me guess that you're partially retarded, but that would be an insult to the partially retarded. Not only is your content horrible, your spelling, punction, and basic grammar skills are atrocious! I'm not saying that I'm an award winning author or an expert when it comes to punctuation, but god darn!! Go back to school!!!

[rodeo#11]

well put! lol im still confused about how this got so off topic...

Comming from someone w/ the name of.. RaginRedneck.. hmm.. makes me wonder.. :rolleyes:

and one last thing it got off topic cause i said,
"money don't buy talent".

Don't think that because I choose to go by RaginRedneck that I am not an intelligent person. Assumption is the mother of all foul ups. I'm a fairly smart guy, not without flaw mind you, but I can put together a sentence with less than 14 grammatical errors.

[Brauap]

Wow. That is amazing! Hey, could you please count how many is in this sentence, nerd. Like we really care how many grammatical errors we have. School or work is the place to worry about that, not on a public forum. Get my point? (Sorry for calling you a nerd.)

[RaginRedneck]

When I used the number 14 I was being facetious. Now go get a dictionary, look up the word "facetious", and then you'll understand this post. :-)

[Gatekeeper]

A.A.D.S-----Possible symptoms??

I can't seem to remember all the parts Ive ordered in the last few weeks.
When someone says "hello, how ya doing today" I seem to always reply something like"Not bad my new bumper showed up" or "terrible, my nerfs are on backorder"
I wake in the middle of the nite to check eBay for new parts...any new parts.
I think about upgrading my upgrades even before they are delivered.
The UPS guy looks at me like Ive got rabies.
I'm tripping over packing peanuts in my hallway and in my yard.
OMG do ya think Ive got it??
No probably not, I can stop anytime I want to......BTW Does FedEX deliver on Sundays??:devil:

The way you post on here I seriously doubt ANYONE on here respects you either.

I want you to go find your English teachers you had in school and smack them because they cheated you out of an education.

[450rJam]

funny that your "beating" all these built 450r's with your almost stock 400

but in your other posts you are trying to trade it off ?
why you need anything more than your skill ? you are already
beating the 450's so why would you need more

your posts are a direct contradiction

and how many times are you going to say your done with this thread before you really stop posting ?

if everyone is calling you out, there is a reason

I like old quotes and phrases.............................

"some people you have to get to know before you figure out that they are full of crap, others will let you know right away"

[tri5ron]

Just thought that I might share a pic of my partially retarded son Nickolas. He has Down Syndrome, so it dosen't bother me.
(and dont worry RR, I took no offense)

...Boy, oh boy, do I feel like a jackass. I truly hope you didn't take offense, it was a saying obviously not directed at you or your child. I honestly apologize if you did take any sort of offense, because that was not my intent.

Can I ask a probably stupid question? I'm assuming that the quad pictured is yours, but is your son able to ride at all? I know basically what Downs Syndrome is (Trisomy 21, caused by the 21st allele having 3 chromosomes as opposed to 2), but I'm not sure if kids would be able to ride at all in a controlled atmosphere?

Once again, I hope you didn't take offense.

i just saw it a few minutes ago. i was going to pm you to tell you. :(

[Brauap]

I did but I dont understand why.. I see people all the time with quotes the like.. :confused:

[tri5ron]

Raging,
Seriously, no offense taken.
I am rather Proud of my boy, and the accomplishments he has made. He has taught me far more than I will ever be able to teach him.
Patience, and tolerence being first and foremost.

To answer your question, no he does not ride my quad,(yet).
but you certainly dont want to leave the key in it and turn your back on him! LOL! he is no dummy, and very well knows when you turn the key, and get a green light,...
just push the button on the left, grab ahold of the throttle, and try to reach the shifter !

We do not leave the keys in the cars even just to open the gate at the driveway. He knows exactally what to do, and he wants to do it REAL bad!!!

Last week, I took him and his little sister to the cycle shop, and bought them the full blown riding gear set up, and they both look like Pro Circut Champions.
I recently picked up a used Meerkat 50 for them both to learn on, and they are pretty good a taking a few laps around the backyard.
I haven't had them out to the desert yet, but we will be going in a few weeks. It should be a blast.

(I just hope they dont out run me,.... I'm not a very talented rider ya know)
;) ;) :cool:

[RaginRedneck]

I know what you mean about leaving keys in anything. I dated a girl in high school who's brother had Downs Syndrome. I let him sit in my old flatfender jeep, but I took the keys out. I didn't even think about the starter button. He held the starter button in, it was in gear, it cranked over and my jeep jumped the curb in McDonald's parking lot and went down in the ditch. First he was scared and then he realized it was pretty fun. So I made him help me lock in the hubs(it didn't need it, but he thought it was awesome) and then we backed it up out of the ditch, he had a smile from ear to ear. :)

Glad to hear that you got your kids riding. My nephew is 4 and has been racing flat track for about 6 months now and loves it! He finally won his first race a couple of weekends ago and got the "BIG trophy" that he has been wanting so badly. I didn't get to make the race because I was sick, but he made my brother let him use the phone so he could call Uncle Kevin and tell him. It was pretty awesome.

Nobody ever said that putting money into their quads made them a more "talented" rider. People put money into their quads for a lot of different reasons...gaining "talent" is not one of them. I guess anybody that prefers a better riding and better performing quad should save their money and ride a stock quad since they don't enough "talent" to ride something better :rolleyes:

You also need to take a look in the mirror before calling OTHER people on here immature. Read your own post, Mr. my parents have this and my parents have that.... :rolleyes:

Brauap, I'll try to explain it, so it's not so confusing.
think of it this way...

It's sort of like checking out someone's nice quad,

It's one thing to give them big compliments on it.
They will be honered, and happy to show you all the goodies they have done to it.

But it's something totally different to just jump on it,
fire it up, and taking it for a ride, as if it's your own,
Without asking or being invited.

[Brauap]

Alright.. I understand. Sorry for posting it without your permission. You know your real good at explaining and giving examples.
