Ok, so I needed to buy my girlfriend a quad to ride at the dunes and I found her the perfect quad, a 1987 Lt500R quadzilla. :D :devil:

So this spring at little sahara we are going to have a race, my 540cc vs. her 530cc. I know she's got me beat on HP but the question is will she be able to launch the beast (she will launch badly) and then catch up and pass me before the end of the run???

the winner will be determined from a best 3 of 5.

post your guess and let me know what you think. It's all in fun anyway.


The new quad!

My Vote is the ZILLA. I have a better Idea. 10 races and you switch bikes after 5.

so then how do I determine the winner? by the rider or by the bike?

The Zilla should destroy your Outlaw. A buddy had one and that thing could sit at the line well after launch and would walk on everything out there....Unless she stalls in the first 100 ft, your outlaw is toast!

Are you honestly asking if your a better rider than your wife? That is funny. I hope she kicks your trash then! 10 for 10!

I'm banking a lot of stalls, neutral shifts, and a general misunderstanding of the 2 stroke power band. :D

After all, my mom always told me that slow and steady wins the race..... or not.

:D

What are you trying to prove? Which quad is faster or who is a better rider? I agree, switch up after 5 races and do it again.

I'm not trying to prove anything, just having a little fun. I have no doubt that given equal riders the ZILLA will destroy the outlaw.

I'm sure after having to kick it over a couple of times we will be switching anyway. :)

Zilla.

I recall racing a piped Banshee uphill at Glamis.... there were some deep whoops at the bottom that I killed him through till the bottom of the hill - had a huge jump on him, but when he hit the hill he passed me like the Banshee found reverse and was going back down.

His zilla prolly wasn't as hot as the one that abby is sitting on!

oh it was too sweet a deal to pass up! I was looking for a scrambler for her and this followed me home instead. :D

I can't wait to get it out on the sand and see what this beast is capable of!

I got a pretty good deal on this one, the only down side is I had to drive 13.5 hours round trip to get it.
