i just sold my 1992 quadracer for $2,100 cash. i was looking to get $2,700 but ive looked around and saw modded out ones that only sold for around $1,800-$2,000. i took the $2,100.
I still made profit witht all the mods i put in and what i paid for it.

i fixed em at the last minute, where the rubber brake lines comes off the mater cyl. where it commects to the metal brake lines that slit off the each aarm. the bolt was loose letting fluid out. i thought it was coming from where the metal brake lines connects to the rubber brake line on the aarms. but the fluid just dripped down. 300exNJ or whatever , his friend bought the quad. today was the first time i rode the quad ever, then i sold it. it rode nice. very fast. ahhhhhhh 250r parts here i come!

i can either spend the money on r parts. and keep paying off my 300ex loan for another year ($2,000 left on loan) $172 a month.
or i can pay the loan and use my paychecks at work to buy parts cause ill have that $172 extra a month. hmmm

Pay off your 300EX loan first. It may not be the most gratifying thing at first but wait til next month when you don't have to send that check to the bank!

Good financial decision! NEVER pass up a chance to pay off something that you don't own anymore or ride or whatever. I am a big believer in making money by not paying interest....:D

You did the right thing paying off the loan. I know it would have been more fun spending the money on the mods. That shows responsibility, and I have a new found respect for you. Good decision :)

thats a first hearing of my responsibility. ive grown up a lot since the...... matrix days. ask beerock. i was his enemey, now he sponcors me.

ahhhh dept free, is the way to be!



it was a fun learning process of rebuilding the quad. i got a few black and blues on my knuckles for getting mad at times and punshing the garage wall cause the quad made me mad. i lerned a lot from it. i even made some profit!

:D

Glad to hear you sold it... I dont think I could have. Also good idea paying off the loan! Keep us updated on the R I love what you did with that LT. I definately am going to put the LT 250 on my list of quads to fix up.

thanks man thats nice to hear. not bad for a 15 year old kid workin out of a little husky took set. the kids father that bought my quad. he was stunned what i did. he said i did a very good job rebuilding it. im going to rebuild my R a little faster this time. I hope to have it completly mx ready by March 29th (day befor my first race) since my loan is paid off, my pay checks can pay for parts. Broqure (BWR) is giving me very good prices on aftermarket parts. Hes hookin me up a lot. He also guessested my frame and saved me a few hundred bucks. I will deff keep ypu guys updated. right now its in boxes. and im tryin to strip the paint off the frame with aircraft stipner. i may just get it sand blasted and save me the hassle.

it shall look somthing like this.... :D

01-05-2003, 06:25 PM
i take it u meant 250. They're really good bikes I don't know why everyone knocks them. There were alot of people who thought they could mess with my '91 just because it was a lt and got their *****es handed to them. Especially warriors dont know why they thought they would have a chance.

01-05-2003, 06:26 PM
instaid of you guys buying four wheelers, just find a old weed wacker and tear the engine apart. i did it for a science project last year. it doesn't cost as much. but thats only if you want something cheaper

LMAO! The Lt's are the only quads that look decent with the fender like that. When I first got it I just wanted to chop them off but after a while,you begin to like them because they look somewhat sporty and still block some mud.
