welp im in big trouble

[Pappy]

well after spending the weekend at the new house...i dont think a loud thumper is going to cut it. if i ride it ill shake windows in the entire damn valley:(

so now im sitting here with the 440 almost done...wondering if ill even get to ride it at my new place. im sure i can ride it there (nothing sez i cant) but i think the right thing to do is to try and find something quieter:(

::excuse to get a new quad:: Good idea Ken:p

[XANDADA]

maybe you'll be lucky and none of the neighbors will care. cold 12 packs as gifts work wonders too:devil:

[Ralph]

u have my adress;) :D

[Pappy]

well like i said...theres no law that sez i cant ride it...but i dont think its a good idea to move in a bust out a full race thumper and scare people half ta death. theres alot of quads in the area but most are tractors or stock

[nismo]

if other people ride around ur new house i dont think it will be a problem.

[Rip_Tear]

wow, that kinda sucks. I see what your saying here Pappy, but couldn't you just quite that beast down a bit? But if you think getting a new quad is the best idea, I won't blame you :D :p

[Pappy]

the problem isnt just an occasional ride...i have already started on a course that should give me about a mile and a half loop on my property. an occasional ride on this loop at a trail riding pace probley wouldnt be so bad....BUT....i normally dont just putt along....and i dont only ride for 10 minutes. im expecting to ride for a minimum of an hour straight 3 or 4 times a week. there are no restrictions on my land....i just think the big thumper is gonna be way too much. even the new yammy and honda are loud with the stock exhaust.

there is a 2 stroke in the area (i heard and saw him riding) i was shocked at how quiet it was compared to a piped 400 that came thru a close by trail.

i dunno what to do cuz the cdale was gonna be the next quad i picked up...and although the stock exhaust level is a bit quieter then a piped 400...neither is as quiet as a 2 smoke. i didnt want to build another R (not yet anyway) and i sure as hell didnt wanna have to go thru selling off all my new parts for the 440:mad:

[brokeitin3]

i say just talk to the neighbors and see what they think about the noise, it cant be that loud. just put a quiet pipe on the 440 if you feel that badly about it. that sort of thing never really bothered me tho.

[trx400ex]

Get a YFZ. you cant even hear them with the stock pipe.

[Guy400]

Kenny, wait until you're moved in on a more permanent basis and see what others around you are doing. A piped ring-dinger will be just as annoying to neighbors if you're going to be riding that often. I bet you'll hear more thumpers around you than you realize right now. Give it some time and see what the story is. After a couple weeks you probably won't even give your 440 a thought when you start it up. I officially live inside city limits but have over 60 acres directly butting up against my property that people ride on all the time. I had my Cannondale, my cousin had a HMF piped 400EX, various dirt bikes, Z400's and other 400EX's. All vehicles piped except for my Dale and the law was never called on us. The only time I saw a cop even hassle anyone was when a kid on a 400EX was doing about 50mph down my street.

[nacs400ex]

I would also talk to the neighbours, get to know them. If they wont like it, well thats still ok, cause you go through quads like people go through their underwear. lol j/k

But I guess do the only thing that you can do if they dont like it, sell her off. :grr: Then bling out another R :p

[Pappy]

the "other" R has been obtained;)

[Brad]

did u already get a pipe for it? because the with the trinity u can get a silencer kit and it cuts like 9 decibals off:eek2:

[hondafox440]

Why don't you get a stock silencer for riding around your house, then have the loud one for 'real' riding? This is what I do and it seems to be working fine.

i dont think a 13 to 1 440 is gonna behave itself choked up. and i dont just ride around...its WFO or its turned off:blah:

[hondafox440]

I'm running a 12 to 1 440 and it runs fine with the stock silencer. The silencers don't really make a HUGE difference. Sure it's noticeable, but I think it's a more feasable option then getting a new quad..

[Pappy]

feasable:confused:


bahhahahahahahahaa:devil:

[hondafox440]

Ohh right. You're from the south. :D

"better idea" :p

Whens the first exriders.com mini GNCC race???:devil:

actually...im liking the sound of that:D

[Pappy]

im thinkin we need a few 50 races my damn self:devil:

why dont u just buy some system for it like white bros or fmf where all u have to do is change the end caps to go from loud or quiet, it might cut performance down a lil but whats the difference

[Pappy]

the difference is still substanial...and i have to live with these people for the next 30 years.


and have you ever tried installing and removing the end caps after riding in the mud for weeks on end? im not going thru the hassle.

[Bad Habit]

Well Pappy, just to be a nice guy, I'll tell ya what I'll do. I'll swap the Yoshi back to the stocker on the little woman's 250 and trade ya even up. Heck, I'll even deliver it to ya.

Now how's that for helping out a fellow exrider.:devil:

[Ryan]

If your neighbors complain about your thumper, tell dem to blame da CPSC for banning da damn 2-smokes :mad: .

Seriously, If you think that getting even a quieter silencer will not help you, then I don't think theres much you can really do. Except get to know the neighbors and see how things go from there.

[Hondagrl2]

Forget the neighbors...ride anyways thats what i do i jsut dont ride at night like after 10 so i dont wake them up. and if they have quads like you say then they are probably used to it!

[Pappy]

well i geuss im getting old because as i sat on my porch i found the gently humm of that guys 2 smoke not too bad...and when the thumpers rolled in it even pissed me off:eek:

[Flip)(stick]

loud quads save lifes:cool:

loud quads do save lives. But get an hmf like on ur other one and get a quiet core. Guy had this setup and really really liked it.

so whattya gonna do? give up on a quads?

i havent inflicted enough damage on the atv world to leave yet:devil:

[cool 300ex]

Ya but why srew it up for later riding time.If i was you i would run stock themn for like trail rides and races run a loud pipe.

[Woodsrider]

Chit Pappy, just go house to house on the 440, and introduce yourself as Pappy Jones, and ask them if they want to play keepin up with the Jones':devil: I am sure if most of them have quads, as you say they do, they will get wood lookin' at your bling and just have to get in on the action. Then all will be well, and you'll have more PC customers.

[Pappy]

in this neck of the woods ...krylon is king:eek: i dont think them boyz even wash thier quads

my house is 900 feet back a private driveway:devil: and if anyone i dont know makes it to the front gate....the shooting starts:eek:

[remlapr]

Sounds sweet Pappy - did you ever post any pics? How many acres do you have with it?

[Pappy]

i bought 13 acres....its all i could afford in that area. ill be posting some pics once we get moved in....i dont want anyone in that area seeing the house when i aint in it yet:macho

[Jackie]

It was an idea. I have a drive like that I put the house in the middle of 20 and I dont care what the locals think, you'll be suprised what they don't hear. Good luck and dont give up:blah:

[gibson400ex]

hey who cares we go up and down my street with a modded cdale with full tc exhaust which is a biatch and a full modded 400ex..............cops jsut said cant ride past 10 P.M and we ahve no 1 on my street that rides...also pappy did you finish the blaster in the 400ex chassis if you did iam interested in it thanks

[gibson400ex]

pappy pm em about it if it is stillf or sale or hit me up on aim at gbaby22duece

[gibson400ex]

also could yo send me pics of the blaster in the 400ex chassis and pcis of the thumper.thanks to gibson400ex@aol.com

[300extreme#8]

if i was in your shoes i'd try to find a junky 400ex for sale for cheap. fix it up almost like you have your racer(make it same lenth a arms and swingarm) and Put minor mods on it to make it quiter,like get one them quite pipes,then i use it to prac and have fun on then you could still have a quad almost as good as the racer and only use the racer for the races and a few laps at your place to get you used to that loud pipe again,well thats about what i did before i sold my old trx 300 2X4 it was fun,i kinda miss her,if i got tried of people gettin mad bout how loud my quad is and that they could hear my as soon as i hit the start button-so i'd ride the big 300 2X4,maybe not as fun but it would climb any hill i put it to and would jump the few jumps i had ,so if you could just find you a pos and fix it up alil you'll prob be fine, plus it can be something to pass down to the kids after you do decide to quit.well it's just an idea don't know if it would work it's been a year since i sold the 300 2X4 and everyone just about don't care anymore just as long as i don't ride at late hours. well,hope this helps you some,

[Crazy Honda]

This is simple your goina piss them off sooner or later so just get it over with then youll know which neighbors to have over for beer and ballgames:devil: why spend money on a place to not have your fun.that would be like building a pool and leaving it empty so no one drowns.:rolleyes: tear it up and have fun...lol
:macho

[JTRtrx250r]

Pappy ..I was in the same situation a few yrs back,I had no neighbors except 1 across the street,w/ all my pals coming over daily to ride my track,it did get quite loud and I'd notice the neighbors out in the yard watching ,! day I walked over to let him know Im a cool guy and if theres any problems..just let me know,I also had bikes,trikes quads and odysseys so I invited him over for a few hot-laps...problem solved:devil: :D Next thing I know,he's asking me questions about what unit he should buy:devil: :blah:

If you have a few spare rides kickin' around,ask em' to come on over and ride a bit...ya never know;)

i wish i had a track. :(

[Chino]

hey boy where the heck you been!!

[KASCHAK]

first talk to the people that have quads and maybe they know the older folks that will complain and tell them its all cool or whatever. you know a friend of a firend.

but seriosly if your nice and introduce yourself and tell the people that have quads if its alright to kinda talk to the other people in the neiborhood about the noice.

hope it all works out for you

[Jaybr]

I wouldn't sweat the neighbors too much.
I've got a peice of land that I'll be building a house on soon enough, and plan to stay their till I die. I've built a track and a course through the woods and ride all the time on my Cannondale with HMF. One of the neighbors complained a few times, his house is right on my property line near the track. Last time he called me I told him he shouldn't have put his house on the property line ( he has 150 acres ) and I haven't heard from him since. I paid for the place, and I pay the taxes, I'm gonna enjoy it.

I even had the Cannondaleriders group ride there in Sept and with 30 dales and 10 or so others, trust me it got loud

lmao, i would love to see him looking out the window at yall, cussing under his breath, but too scared to do anything :blah:

[Pappy]

well after spending the last 4 weekends there i dont think noise will be a huge concern. 9 am sunday rifle fire broke out next door:p followed swiftly by my chainsaw and my kids tearin up the xc track:devil:

i guess since i move in this weekend some pictures are ok now. this is the corner of my property...looking back towards the house

[Pappy]

oppiste end of the first 6 acres looking back towards the house

[Pappy]

i mowed all that tall grass and thats where the mx section will be

[Pappy]

until i build the raised gazebo with second level jaquzzi the fire pit will have to wait:devil: but the grill does a good job on the carport

[Pappy]

not a killer view out the front window...but alot better then looking at another house

[Pappy]

wife's teritory...inside outta my garage:macho

[Pappy]

the pic doesnt show it but its a fairly large garage. im not sure if it will be early spring or not but i plan on a 30 x 40 workshop

[ZSK]

[Jaybr]

The riding won't keep the deer away. We ride my place all the time, and my son wen't out there Tuesday to do some squirel hunting and jumped 3 bucks and a doe. Too bad he had the wrong gun with him.

[JTRtrx250r]

The new homestead looks pretty cool!!;) Hope all goes well for ya
