haha thanks man, only on the back burner because I've got my 450 usually on the front burner. aaand there's always something to do to it.. lol

[TacicalRedneck]

To bad my stove is broke :( I don't have ANY quads at the house right now


What i would give for that R!




....if i had it :D

[HondaRacing83]

Scores a pair of almost new Alpinestars Vectors for free in my size :D Dunno if I'll like them more than my Fox Comp 5 Offroads i bought a few months ago. They were my dads buddies old boots he gave to me. My dad has tech 7s at his moms house

[honda400ex2003]

had a great day!

water skiing with my buddy for the first time in over 10 years

played 18 holes of golf for the first time, scored a 101 :D i was doing great after the first nine, i scored a 58 on the first 9 so that i improved quite a bit on the second 9.

gonna finish jetting the 400 tomorrow i think, gonna put a 55 pilot in it, drop the needle to the second notch and put a 185 in there and see how it runs. :D should be spot on.

tomorrow is going to be relaxation day before work on monday. we will probably golf one more time this week at a different course and do some major fishing at night after work. :D

gonna be a great week!

i might have a date set up in a couple of weeks, been talking to a pretty lady a bit for the past couple weeks and plan to get together for dinner soon. :)

i cant wait to do that with her!

gonna be an epic few weeks again! before long the days will be getting short enough to notice and the breeze will be getting a bit nippy. then the white stuff will be flying. i have alot to do on the sleds before i start riding though!

great day :D :D
steve

[mirror_racing]

Ha an awesome week. Started a great new job, sold my car and ordered everything to finish my hybrid! Then to top it all off I went swimming at my apartment and ended up saving a little girl from drowning! What a week!

[honda400ex2003]

got the 400ex jetted for the last time with the q4 on it :D

ill run that for the most part now since i finally have it jetted well after taking some time to get the right jets ordered and put in.

too bad it is too hot to want to ride...

maybe on wednesday for the 4th if it rains, ill get to go. it is too dusty to want to ride now anyway.

steve

[finsteratv]

steve

[HondaRacing83]

How much do you guys think I could get out of it if I sell it all fixed? Its in good shape except the back rim.

[honda400ex2003]

Can't wait to get em. And it's gonna be fun burning these off too :D

[Pipeless416]

[HondaRacing83]

my dad actually wants to do a 426 but i explained a 416 would be better because theres still another bore on the cylinder but idk if ill even do that. theres a wiseco 11:1 440 piston with wristpin, rings, & sleeve all brand new for $200 obo

[Ruby Soho]

if you build and maintain it properly whatever bore he desires will probably outlast his interest in the quad

[finsteratv]

At the dunes ad finally crashed today..was jumping and got hit by a cross wind, now I'm fearless! The sand is soft!

[BlaineKaiser450]

My Cummins is down due to electrical problems, the Superbee isn't registered, so I'm struck driving the motorhome this week, which is actually awesome because it gives me and my buddies a spot to chill no matter where we are or what were doing

[Drfat400ex]

[finsteratv]

goin to look at a little xr 50 tommorow! needs pegs a seat and grips but he only wants 225 and it runs good too! hopefully nobody buys it tonight since i'll be goin in the morning!

[chronicsmoke]

Finished my day 2-2 for 2nd on the podium at a local race

[crlt250r]

[honda400ex2003]

[Drfat400ex]

Went out and bought a small square bailer with a thrower and two thrower wagons today, split it 3 ways with my little brother and my dad, got 50 acres of straw we can use. Still need an elevator, 4 more thrower wagons, and clean out the old wondersteel shed. Should get 8000 bails out of the farm, at about $2.50 a bail it will definatly pay off in a few years. Sure is something different to get into owning your own equipment like that at 15, must be a hell of a thing for my brother because he's only 11 haha. Lot of money gone today hopefully I can make it back quick doing custom work.

[honda400ex2003]

got the h2 and the galant vacced and washed tonight :D

was a good night except i have a terrible headache.

steve

[HondaRacing83]

congrats darwin! good luck! i have several acres of fields, i should start doin that lol then again i ride in them and matt them all down.

[finsteratv]

just bought a dirty little 98 RM80 for 400, looks a little rough but dang! Full FMF pipe and this little boy rips!

[Drfat400ex]

Originally posted by HondaRacing83

Haha yeah can't do that here, everythings gotta be harvested! Thinkin about renting a few acres of hay next year too to bail up and sell. Gonna try some bean straw this fall too just for fun, everybody's done wheat and barley straw though so that's gotta wait till next year lol.

[honda400ex2003]

had some awesome riding yesterday with my sisters bf!

it was by far the best riding i have had in a long long time, nice change of pace thats for sure. we rode 4x4s so it was a blast to start off with, rained the night before 3/4" so it was super wet, didnt rain during the day, was only 70, and we just rode how we wanted.

we were soaked to our underwear when we got back to the car! hit every water puddle for 55 miles. :D

its nice to have a great day like that, restores the interest i have been lacking a bit again this summer. most of my friends got out of riding atvs and such either completely or bought dirt bikes. i dont have anyone to really ride hard with any more so its nice to get out and mess around a bit with someone who doesnt mind going at a decent pace for a while then stopping to relax.

great day thats for sure,
steve

[finsteratv]

Trading my beater RM80 for a little honda 50...Been wanting one for awhile and hopefully I'll get the funds to make it into a mini twin of my CR250..mwuahahaha

[honda400ex2003]

got to ride with a bud tonight for a while. its been a couple of months since i rode with him so it was fun to go rip for a little while at least.

:D best thing of the day was riding

steve

[HondaRacing83]

Whats up out there everyone?!


steve

[Drfat400ex]

Hm, went and helped a guy load hay tonight, only worked for two hours and he gives me 30 bucks! My debit card came in the mail, some of my crap seems to be selling, and workin on a bunch of my bale wagons lately. Been an alright week so far I guess, might be goin into town to see some buds tommorow for a while then gettin tipsy this weekend at another buddy's, should be a great time!

[CJM]

Working on my 450, sent my truck for alignment-need to replace a caliper.

[HondaRacing83]

cleaned all 19 guns and put them back in the safe, shot a few, i was being dads ***** lol,x shot my bow and i was shooting pretty damn good haha

[finsteratv]

Mom insists on buying me parts for my 50 because its "cute" haha lovin it!

[Ruby Soho]

got new batteries, belt, fuel filter, oil change, cam sensor, trans fluid/filter change all done in the truck today. discovered it has new brakes all around already, the rear diff is mint, and the front end was redone not to long ago. SCORE!!

hopefully will be picking up a short bed for it in mint shape soon.

also have the interior kind of apart right now but the carpet is pressure cleaned, seats cleaned, dash is done. have some door locks and window switch work to do but other than that shes a rocker..

best of all, its exactly 2 weeks until 2 of my buddies fly down and join me for the long haul back home!

[mike2001400ex]

my birthday is in 9 days gonna most likely going to a track. ill have money to spend on the quad.

going down to Virginia beach tomorrow night and most likely my sister isn't coming :devil: . gonna be able to see my cousins and my uncle came back from training in key west to see us. going down to see my cousin because she heads over to Edinburgh for college soon. most likely going to visit her spring break.

the best thing though is being able to go on here and get help or just talk about quads. best feeling ever

[finsteratv]

Got the part I needed at the local pick and pull. PRAYING that the tolerances in the yoke of my driveshaft are ok since they are slightly larger due to cleaningup burrs. The u-joint caps are ever so slightly loose. I hope it works out.

[Drfat400ex]

Me and a buddy went quadding on down to mcdonalds today haha day i'll never forget

[250x_kyle]

[CJM]

Used gas tank for the 450, tons of goodies coming for for it and an exhaust is on the way as well.

Going to atlantic city next week too!

Least they found it, whats left is another story man.

Sorry it went that way. Did you ever figure out how they stole it? Key, hotwired, or did they flatbed it away?

[Ruby Soho]

no idea yet, im sure ill find out. but i know for a fact they had to push it out of its parking spot atleast down the road a bit... its usually parked right infront of the condo complex, and none of the neighbors heard it start the night it was taken. and i usually would wake them up coming home in the wee hours of the morning or leaving for work in the wee hours of the morning haha.

but, well see. its on wheels they said so it must have axles still. which is good for me. im not hoping for much i accepted the fact that i got screwed along time ago so anything at this point is a bonus....even just the satisfaction of saying its still mine

[CJM]

Ya, sounds like they somehow pushed it. Probably unlocked the column and pushed it away, had to take at least 3-4 guys.

Least your getting it back. Now, only if you could find the suckers who did it!

[finsteratv]

found a reasonably priced over sized tank, skid plate, and kickstand for my CR250...Last night i had two girls pick me up randomly and we had a killer night! :devil:

[CJM]

450r is up and running, slapped the old chain on just to see and it runs good. Just waiting on a new chain.

I wasn't planning to sell it anyway.

**** yeah man! I just got an oversized tank FWW and Rad braces for my Cr 250 for 170$ :D What year? I'm liking it

[BlasterEaten250]

It's an '03. Has FMF gnarly/turbinecore, V Force reeds, flywheel weight, Acerbis wrap around hand guards, radiator guards, engine skid, and pipe guard. The guy who owned it was 62 years old and it's still on the original top end. Only thing it needs is fork seals. Going riding with it for the first time tomorrow!!!

[Ruby Soho]

Swear to god man.

Paid 10 bucks for a raffle ticket for a friends pop warner kids football team. Guy called me last night and said I won.

You get a choice of 2 tix and all expense paid trip to super bowl, rose bowl, indy, daytona, etc. Not for nothing I can always go to whatever other event but the super bowl is worth it. Im not a huge football fan but cmon its the super bowl!

[finsteratv]

working on getting a mod list put together for next years rincon build :D plan to buy my dads and do some work on it. i want to do a top end on it, cam chain, cam, exhaust, air filter, lift kit, new tires and maybe a BRGR kit. it should bring some new lift to the old rinny. it is getting up in mileage at 7000 miles and is getting a bit tired.

the h2 will get a few things too next year. different tires, winch, and maybe some bumpers with a cage if i can swing it.

something to look forward to anyway i guess. lol

[Pipeless416]

just got a very substantial raise today.. :D

[tri5ron]

Hi all,
Havent ridden in 6 or 7 months, but
I've been playing with a new toy lately.
(yeah,.. the AADS Disease kinda flared up on this one too, LOL)
http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/Benjamin%20Marauder/BenjaminMarauder22.jpg


Then I decided that we needed a respectable 2 lane firing line.
SOoooo,...... I set this up,

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/Benjamin%20Marauder/IMG_6116.jpg


Then of course we are going to need a "Target Tent" too...
(50 yards out )

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/Benjamin%20Marauder/IMG_6112.jpg


Looking down range,
from bench to target,...
http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/Benjamin%20Marauder/IMG_6132.jpg

My daughter is liking it too.
http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/Benjamin%20Marauder/IMG_6128.jpg

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/Benjamin%20Marauder/IMG_6137.jpg

and I've taken a few shots myself,
http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/Benjamin%20Marauder/IMG_6155.jpg

Not Bad,.....
(for a Pellet Gun !, EHhhhh ?????)
http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/Benjamin%20Marauder/IMG_5962.jpg

I can't wait to get out for some 100 yd shots ! (yeah,... It'll do that quite well actually). I'd love to find someone locally who has some property with a gopher, rat, rabbit, problem they need "taken care of". I'd love it !
Load up my camper, spend the night, and do some "pesting".
This particular rifle will easily dispatch a squirrel, rabbit, possum, coon at 100yds, and a Coyote at 50-60yds.
Heck of a lot of fun, and it is damn near silent too. (fully shrouded barrel)
now I need to find me some varmints !

[CJM]

Awesome Ron! WHat brand of air rifle is that?

[tri5ron]

Well, it started out life as a bone stock Benjamin Marauder .22 cal. (then the AADS took over)
shown here already sporting the 4-16X40AO IR Scope, "Ratting light", and Bipod

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/Benjamin%20Marauder/IMG_5946.jpg

It's in basically the "Highest Class" of Air Rifles called PCP's
(Pre Charged Pnuematic)
10 shot, Bolt action repeater.
filled/pressurized from a 4500psi Carbon Fiber SCBA tank.
(Firemans breathing tank).
it operates between 2000psi - 3000psi and with my current tune it's running about 900-920 fps.
It can be tuned for much higher velocity, but accuracy and consistency is what it's all about.

[CJM]

Very nice!

[finsteratv]

Job doing Christmas trees..making a touch over 10 bucks an hour and I keep tips so I make away with a littl over 100$ a day tax free :)
