well guys, RTSE440 and i rode up at rausch on Saturday and it was a blast the natural terrain track is a lot of fun. some good novice jumps that are hard to f*ck up (even for me) and some good high speed stuff. finally got to redeem my exrider voucher there so basically had a cheap ride. anybody else do anything fun?

Hey Pappy its good to here that quads might be getting a little respect out at Tomahawk. It just might be what I needed to hear to return there next year.:D A track designed for quads with no dirt bike rutts, and quad friendly jumps is a major plus.

It was a muddy mess, but after an hour with the pressure washer she looks as good as new:) Brian tagged a tree and broke his spindle so that ended his day. It was fun to get out and we should get a ride organized over these next weekends.

you are right about the ride we need to get together for a fun ride.
Hey who did all of the aluminium work for you guys??? I think it was Brian.....I need a skid plate made for Tommy's Kasea. Nobody makes them and I don't have access to a welder. If you think he might be interested in a little project let me know;)

Yeah we killed a few. I busted 2 whitetail does in the middle of the day Saturday. Dad killed a 6 point sika deer Saturday night with Chip hunting with him. He was excited with his first 6. Me and Dan went out hunting Sunday, in the middle of the day, by boat to an island. As soon as I climbed up the stand I could see a real nice 6 point sika in the marsh so I told Dan to hurry up and climb up. He climbs up and shoots a real nice 6 point sika. It all happened in like 10 seconds. It was funny we both had the scopes on it and he kept waiting. I said "If you don't shoot that deer by the time it gets to that tree, I will." Needless to say he shot it, he knows me to well.:D How did your old man do?

Ronny and I are riding somewhere? on Sunday when he gets back from the Banquet. Anyone else going to the banquet? Maybe he'll be hungover and I'll be able to keep up;) .

I was thinking the same thing tonight on my way home from work. I skipped out on the Southern MD ATV Park this past Sunday. My friend was taking his daughter and I really didn't want to feel like I was intruding on family time. Seems like I made a good call because they said it was muddy as h*ll there, otherwise they thought it was pretty nice.

Well my x-mas bonus from work just about paid off my bill. I got the motor back around 2 today, I had it mounted in, in about 30 minutes, I spent the rest of the afternoon doin everything else, then from 5:30-7 I spent troubleshooting stuff, bad grounds and crap, I had to wire the hourmeter differently... Still havent run it because the guy that rebuilt it wants to be there when I start it to make sure the oil pump isnt air locked. Its muddy as hell anyway, tomorrow I got school work all day, monday I have school all day then tuesday I have work until 3:30. Im having a fire for the first time party tuesday night!!! It does turn over and everything works....
What I had done...
JE 10.8:1 416 piston
Hotcam stage 2
port and polish and match port
new valves and valve seals
heavy duty cam chain
black coated frame
ITP 190 rims
them tires (generic razrs, 6-ply and CHEAP, cant remember the name "DriveX" or something)
new bushings and bearings here and there
new brake pads
bled the brakes front and back
New sprockets and chain
Rewired the neutral light switch (haha and broke it again, I didnt crimp the end right, gotta get some more spade terminals tomorrow)
cleaned up the exhaust a little better
hourmeter

Might be selling or trading the KFX for a utility quad (Seatec any interest:eek: ) I am in a training program with my new job and if I get hurt I am out of the program and out of a job. Racing is way out of the question for the next year. I am thinking about just getting a utility to keep me slowed down. (like I need any help) So if anybody has an interest in a nice quad set up for XC stock suspension but has hipers and all the other goodies. I am looking for a Grizzly or might buy one of those new Suzuki king quads. If somebody has a nice ute in good condition I will trade and add cash. This situation sucks but my career is more important to me. I might just sit this year out and let my kids race, at least that will still get me out to some of the races. :confused:

YOu are a sandbagger. Guys, dont believe a word he is saying. He is flying up there at Rausch creek. Am having a very hard time keeping up with him.

Might be interested but I got to get through the holidays before I decide what I am going to do.
BTW I know they have a UTE class but the object is to calm down some for about a year....actually I am considered a trainee until May of 2006. They are spending about a 1/4 mill to train me so I am not going to blow this one. I figure 18 months of laying low is a fair trade for the start of a new carreer.

I think you could hurt just as easy on a ute as a sport quad. The only thing that is going to make you safe is your own common sense. And definetly stay away from the racing those starts are pretty nutz. I will tell you my best crashes have been out cruising around with the guys. BTW congrats on the new carreer, that is a good sign when a company is investing that kind of money in it's employees:)

Its a mith you dont rider slower on a Utility then a Sport Quad, ;) I past a LOT of Sport Quads in the GNCC ride I did :D . For me I even feel I can ride much faster in the woods on My Prairie then I can on my 785 or 250r? even those the sports quads have more top end.
If your thinking you just need to slow down and dial back and cant do it on your KFX? :ermm:

Let me just set one thigns straight here. I never said nor will i ever say that ute quad racers are slow or that it is in any way shape or form less dangerous. i merely commented that if he has a ute and should gte the itch he could still do a race in that class.
I know for sure that i rather roll over with a sport quad (350lbs) than a ute (600lbs).
Glad i cleared that up. continue. :D

Hey, It was definetly a nice day to ride saturday at easton, probably the last nice day of the year though. I had a ton of fun out there with everyone, im still tryine to learn my new bike, and not feeling to confident on it yet, but im sending the shocks out hopefully this week, and hopefully thats my problem. I have to give some big credit to Delaware152 out there, especially when he passed by Ricky Carmichell, no no, i meant Chad Reed, or maybe that was Bubba Stuwart, oh, my bad, that was just #31 some loud mouth on a bike that thought he was as good as one of those riders:D It just seems that some people on bikes just cant admit to it when a quad is faster than them, and i think delaware proved that he was definetly faster than him. PGregg, ill see if i can contact natalie some time and give hime a heads up the next time he's at rausch or a "real track" to watch out, that #31 is a lot faster than him, and to get out of his way:D :D :D That was the best laugh ive had in a while.

Hey, i had Burgard arms on my Z before i switched to gibson on it. You cant beat them for the price. The quality of them isnt gonna be as good as the lonestar, but for an ameture rider you cant go wrong with them. I would call burgard and verify what shock lengh to use, and just specify it when ordering the shocks, i know some of the arms out there today take different lenghs, why, i dont know, i would think the longer shock would always be better, but i guess not.

is it a problem to run a 9 " rear for mx? whats the advantage of a 8" rear wheel?
jrspawn
12-23-2004, 10:52 AM
From what i understad, its just that the 8" gives you more sidewall on a 18' tire than it would on a 9" rim, i guess the sidewall almost acts as an obsorbant.

Another advantage of the 8" is turf tamers. You cannot buy a 18" turf on a 9" wheel. Not that that matters anymore because holeshot says it all.
Justin why do you want another set of hypers you are already trying to sell the ones you have?

Hey, yeah my goal this year for budds is to finish a complete race there, both motos. Lets see, first race there, first moto, come out in the front part of the pack doing good then have a tie rod end break at the top of one of the big down hills( that was full of braking bumps) so needless to say, i wrecked pretty good. Second time there, finish one moto in top part, other moto my carrier breaks and cocks the axle. Last time there on my new quad, first lap of practice the bike "Grenades" the spark plug, ive never seen it happen before, but..... thats my "Budds Creek Luck". so i specated that race also.

Well Dave can't go to Rausch because he is going to have surgery on his back on Jan 10th. The doctor told him to consider quitting racing but you know him. I think once he has the surgery and goes through PT and starts feeling better he will be back but nothing like he was before. He won't be doing any 'Superman' in the air! Will keep you updated!
I have to put up with him for another 10 weeks!!!!

Well, jsut got home from Easton, wow. It was the perfect rding day, for weather and track condition. It was probably the most fun ive ever had there. Everyone was stepping it up out there at least a couple notches. Donnie Lysinger and some other JRD guys were there, donnie is one cool guy also. He went for the 90 ft. triple and made it, one time he even over jumperd it by almost 5 ft and flat landed. A buddy of mine i rdie with Matt ended up doing the 90ft. triple on the 450r, then him and donnie hit the expert track up and were doing the two big doubles back to back, while donnie was doing heel clickers. It was just an amazing day, wish some more of you guys could have made it. We'll be at seaford tomorrow, so hopefully we'll see you there.

RTSE440 and i had a great day at Tomahawk. i love that tgrack nothing dangerous and everything doable. was a little rough at places but nothing to bad. VERY NICE PEOPLE there. nobody with an attitude Bikes nor Quads. i kinda like it therfe better than easton but nothign beats Rausch though. (for now) tomahawk is b uilding a new track towards the entrance. am wondering how that will turn out.

Well,I took my son to Tomahawk Saturday and he had a blast on his Kasea:) He is ready to go back again.
Seatec,what kind of quad do you ride?I might have seen you there.There were a bunch of raptors and a few z400's there that I saw.I was at the kids track with my boy most of the time though.

01-02-2005, 04:52 PM
Hey, well just got back from another great day of riding at seaford. Gil attix, donnie lamborn, and JT were all there RIPPING the place up, and after seeing them going for the huge 90ft. jump there, i finally got the balls up to do it, kinda funny too. First atempt i went about 80ft. of it, and landed VERY hard, them i got black flagged off for trying the 90 footer in C class, i guess thats against track rules, but they were cool with itand they changed me to the A class. First lap out in the A practice i do it, i was stoked! Second lap, again i pull it off, third lap, i do it again, and when i landed my TAG T2 bars break/shear off into two pieces, the whole left side broke off, and for some strange miracle, i landed it and rode off other than some cuts on my arm from scraping were they broke at im ok. So needless to say ill call TAG tomorrow and tell them about the problem. But overall is was a good day, i jump the biggest jump ive ever done, and pulled it off. I still cant believe it, ill have to see if i can get some pics on here of the bars for you guys.

Seatec,the kids track is just below the first tabletop you come to when you start around the regular track.If you were to stop on the top of the table and look to your right,down the hill you will see it.It isn't huge but it was plenty of fun for the little one.We were there from 10:00 till about noon.I shoulda seen the yfz's somewhere.Oh well,I was pretty busy making sure my boy didn't get in over his head on his first time at a track.LOL.:D

Les, try Diamond Motor Sports or Planet honda, I'm sure they have them in stock.
Justin, sucks to hear about those bars, hopefully they will replace them.
Honda 5 , I don't think I will be using the nerf bars on the 250r, so if you want to try them out on your bike, you are more than welcome. The 250r nets that I have line up perfect with the 450r nerfs (minus the outside row). I'll try to get a pic for you tommorow.

Ridersville was $5899 out the door and Twigg wouldnt give me a bottom line price over the phone but I got $6399 out of Mike but he told me the price that negotiable once I came in.

What are you looking for a 450R for if you have that sitting in the garage.
Les Davis
01-05-2005, 08:23 PM
I bought the YFZ as a second bike since I havent been able to ride cuz my 400 has been in the shop. Hating missing those 60 deg. days in the middle of winter. I will most likely trade-in or sell my 400ex to get the 450R soon.
