You guys remember that "outta control" rator that that guy had gold plated and chromed everywhere? well, he did it again. I went and rode it yesterday with him and daryl. atvsport was there taking pics, and shooting for a new tv show thats coming up. let me tell you, i don't really care for raptors but that one was awsome! trinity did the motor and it pulled like a mo-fo!

Well... I think it a waste of money for all that Chrome and Gold but I say...."If Ya Got The Money....Spend It"


Money meant to be spent not saved....

Yeah, he was at milan cycle city ones during a practice and he let me ride it too. He's a nice guy. He raced too. But this was before he had that plastic and stuff. everything was still blinged out though...he just had stock plastic on it with custom graphix and the hood was like marbalized. it was sweet though.


oh, and by the way, his name is Quinn Michels. not micheal quinn.

Harry at Trinity said I must have over revved my motor for this to happen.....funny how a pic of my piston after teardown last fall, as I was getting ready to send the head to Trinity for work; shows NO piston damage that you would see with over revving. Here is a pic of the piston right after an entire MX season, we all know you work a motor to it's potential when racing. No damage to piston at all when I took it apart............:rolleyes:

Pegasus bought them. They are an insurance company and last I heard the motosports division is being shut down and it isnt likely it will open back up. But if we're lucky, they will devide the company up and someone will get ahold of the moto div and open it back up. :ermm: Only time will tell...for now, its RIP. :(



I forgot to drool over the Raptor in the last post. *Drool* :D

Ahhh, bummer. Hopefully it will open back up and have a moto division.

yeah that was us up there riding, but the track was slick cuz' the frost was coming out of the ground so you could't rail a corner like you normally would.
