MARYLAND - anyone?

[seatec]

Well Guys and Gal. Let me be the first to thank all of you for a really cool time at The Landing. Everybody is even nicer in real life.
I especially had a good time since i saw somebody who was even bigger than me:D

THanx again GUys for making this a very enjoyable day at the track. Since i am probably the only guy in the world who doesnt have a digital camera, the pictures i took will have to be developed first and put on CD. Maybe tuesday. WHere are we going next?

[Ericthered rdr]

Hey I had a great time today!!! It was great to see everyone and get a chance to ride. We had a good showing today at the LandingMX in Easton. I wish I had more time to hang around today. Now I have something to look forward to in meeting up with you guys again. I was very happy to get a chance to try Seatec's 450 man that thing was all balls. It better be I can't even imagine how much he has tied up in that thing. Honda5 is that thing for sale yet? Hell anything beats the old X machine! Well it was nice to meet and ride with you guys and I am looking forward to the chance to meet again, thanks for letting me ride the 400 and 450 now I am more ashamed of the X machine then I ever was so I guess I am gonna have to buy me something to be able to hang with you guys. Well gotta go and take some more Advil I hope I will be able to walk tommorrow I am already sore as Shyte!!!

CYA
Eric :blah: :devil: :blah:

[Honda5]

Well guys we made it back all in one piece. Got home washed the bikes and then went to Kent Island for a V-Day dinner. That was rough to sit through dinner and being tired and sore!!
Well we had a great time riding with you guys and hope to meet up again. Will probably run the race at the Landings the first weekend in March.
Got everyones name except for guy with the blue 450. What was his name? Mr Honda is having problems remembering since he crashed! All his memory side of his brain came out his right ear and all his artisic side got moved to the middle :D now he can play the piano like Mozart. He really fine just hand is swollen and ribs are a little sore. Bike and helmet are great!!

[seatec]

Eric,
Glad you had a good time. I'd say you where doing pretty good on that x. YOU might be supirised that most of the money i put in my quad was in the hipers and tires and the rest is just skid and nerfs and such stuff. only thing i did to improove preformance is change jetting pipe and airbox lid off. Glad you liked it though. i still missed the chance to ride honda5's trx but there is always next time.:D

I shouldve kept my mouth shut to YLW about usually not hurting after a ride because today my leggs are killng me. Oh well, advil will me my friend today.:(

[Ericthered rdr]

I am sooo friggin sore today! I guess I just gonna have to lay around and watch the Daytona race. The wife and I are big Nascar fans. I am going to bring the little dudes with me next time I felt terrible going home yesterday for not bringing them. I want to try Rausch Creek next. So when are we going?!?! Hope that wreck wasn't to bad honda5 hope you are ok.

[kellam]

sounds like you guys had a lot of fun. count me in next time

[seatec]

Cool, I am a bit of a NSACAR fan too. Its my wife thats obsessed with it. hehe. My main is Tony and second is Newman. My wifes are Jr and then Happy Harvic. If you are a 24 fan then you and my wife are going to have it out. lol

Anyways, i think Dave was ok. he could breath easily so no harm done.

[seatec]

We certainly will. i think our next will be Rausch creek if all agree.

Anthony

[RTSE440]

Well after riding with some great members of exriders, I had to register on the "RED" site. I'm Chris....seatec's friend with the blue YFZ. Had an excellent time riding with you all. Looking forward to a Rausch Creek trip too.......SOON! I got some pics on my digital. I'll try an post a few in the next couple of days.


BTW.....I'M SORE !!!!:(

[Ericthered rdr]

Glad to see you join us Chris. So what is the pee wee track like at Rausch? Is this a place for the little guys? I should have my trailer for next trip.

Hey Seatec I guess your wife is letting you have it since Jr. took Tony. That was a good race between those two. My favs are Jr. and Tony so I really enjoyed this race. Well I am going to hop in the Jaccuzi to try to relax man I am getting more and more stiff as the day goes on!

[Honda5]

Well Eric if we knew you had a jacuzzi we would have been over. We are both sore too. Dave is fine just sore. His hand was swollen this morning but has gone down down. His ribs are just sore-not broken. Rausch Creek sounds great! When are we going? We pick up the new camper tomorrow morning. We will then be ready to go ride and camp, just let us know.

BTW-tell the wives to come too so I'm (Becky) not bored with just the guys...just kidding but it would be nice to have some females there too!

[seatec]

Hey chris. glad yousigned up on the board. if you want the pictures posted i can help you. you have to be a paatron to do so.

Yeah, that was a good race wasnt it? Michael wrecked out big didnt he?


GLad Dave is ok, Becky. We cant wait to get up to Rausch creek aswell. i understand its going to be 50's next weekend.:D

[Ericthered rdr]

So Dave let's hear the details of the wreck. I want to learn what not to do! I hope it wasn't on the pee wee track:blah:

hey Seatec what's the deal on the taking the kids to rausch, is it a good idea or is this a big kids track. If it is more advanced then the one at the Landing it will be too much for them they are on 50's and they are only 5 & 6 y.o. and it will be thier first time to a track.

Becky I will try to get the wife to come with us on the next trip. MY only concern is she will make me buy her a quad and that will mean she would get one first before I get anything better:confused:

[seatec]

Eric, Rausch is great for kids, they have two great peewee tracks, they dont let any big bikes on them either. Hey, give you x to your wife and you get a z.

[Ericthered rdr]

the X Machine is for sale 1500 takes it

the wife needs an auto clutch 250ex/z250 to the resue

me.....that 450 has me awfully excited!

[seatec]

which 450?

[Ericthered rdr]

yours

[seatec]

Did you have a chance to try the TRX? I'd try it also before making a decision. Can't really go wrong with either though. I am sure Dave will let you try it next time we get together.

[YLW400]

Thanks a ton Seatec for letting me ride the Yammie, thats a very nice machine. I had a great time, it was cool to meet some of you guys! I am ready to go again!! J.C.

[seatec]

Hey, just ask and ill let you ride it anytime.

All you guys have given me a dilemma. I thought i was a woods rider but now that i am little more confident on the MX tracks (well, the beginners track anyway lol ) i am leaning towards MX. its very exciting to cut through the corners and head towards a jump and landing it perfectly.(ok laugh guys. you call them hops but to me they are jumps ). Maybe i should work out some more so my quad wont have a heart attack when i start jumping bigger stuff and give a C-Vet MX race a try. Wadda ya think? Budds creek comes to mind.


I should have my pictures back today in digital format so i can post a few tonight.

[YLW400]

Thats a very easy dilema to get out of...Set it up for MX:o lol

Eric, are you looking for a 400EX??

[seatec]

smart *****. ANyways. here are some pics. THey didnt turn out as well as i had hoped. They are a bit grainy for some reason. maybe dust in the lens. Damn analog technology!

[seatec]

Here we got YLW400, Honda5 and me acting all cool.

[seatec]

Here is Dave acting all hurt and whining about his Ribs.:devil:
Becky (his wife) is rolling her eyes at him.
J.C. Looks very sympathetic, doesnt he?:devil:

[YLW400]

Who's the gimp on the left? :eek: :blah: :D

Here is J.C. Showing me how it's done

[seatec]

Here is Honda5 showing us how hurt he really is.:blah:

[seatec]

Sorry for the picture quality. I promise i will look into buying a DIgital cam as soon as funds permit it. FIrst have to mod the YFZ a bit more.

I dont have any good pics of RTSE440 and Ericthered but will get you guys next time. Sorry about that.

One last pic of Delaware152, YWL400 and another exrider who's name i didnt catch.

Looks like YWL400 was telling tall tales again about how he had to jump over that moose to take the win in his latest MX race:D

[YLW400]

:o that must of ben right after I bounced my head off of my handlebars..lol That is Pgregg in that pic Seatec

[kwatts400]

Looks like you guys had a good time. I hope to be able to go next time. (Holidays in the restaurant business suck). The landing may only be 45mins or so from my gf's house, so next time I should be in.

[Honda5]

Seatec, need your email address so I can send you a pic of your new camping spot. :eek:

Eric, the 400 ex is not for sale until maybe after July. I (Becky) have to take it to Michigan to ride the dunes. You tell your wife to come to the track the next time I'm there and she can try the 250 ex out and then you can go buy her one. She might in return buy you a new one later. :D

JC-as soon as our track dries up, I'll have you over to try it out and if you think the rest of the guys from ex-riders might like it we will have them over for a ride and picnic!

Dave is ok. His wreck was not as bad as we thought! He doesn't know who he is yet-but that's ok! He wrecked on the beginner track-on a flat right-hand turn-go figure?? Can't wait to get together again.

[seatec]

YLW400, oh forgot about the head bounce.
Thanx for Naming the other person in the pic.

Hope you can make it next time kwatts

[Honda5]

By looking at the pics above it looks like Dave is getting more air than JC-and they both got hurt that day. What's up with that?

[seatec]

Well, you think there is a direct correlation between air time and pain? lol

[seatec]

Guys, check out the motorhome Dave and Becky just picked up. Dang. Dave is pointing where they so graciously will let us sleep when we hang with them:D Thanx D and B.

[seatec]

Sweeet!

[pgregg131]

I just got back to Maryland after driving to Indiana to pick up my new trailer today. I had a good time at Easton as well. Its good to see they lowered the price to ride there.

[seatec]

Hey Greg (i assume thats your name), What kind of trailer did you get?

I heard that The landing use to be 40 bux or something!?

THere is this ATVpark in southern maryland that charges people 50 bux a pop. how can they be in business?

Anywa, hope to see you on our next outing.

[Ericthered rdr]

Wow sure is nice to see how the other people live!

[seatec]

yeah the daves family is definately doing well. good for them. i like it when people are doing well.

[Honda5]

Seatec-if Dave stands on our payment book for the camper he is as talls as you. Anytime you would like to borrow the payment book we will be glad to give it to you. B

[seatec]

That just cracked my wife and i the hell right up. I hope you enjoy it enough to make it worth it though!

[Honda5]

Seatec-Dave says that one night of you sleeping under the awning will make it worth every payment!:D

[seatec]

Well, tell Dave that is very nice.:D
You guys crack me up.

[kellam]

what are the tracks like that you ride on. ive never been on one

[pgregg131]

It is a 24 x 8.5 ft car trailer. The brand is Vintage.

[seatec]

Thats a pretty big tailer. Set up a shop in that thing.

Kellam, If you are asking me, i ride on all kinds of tracks. Woods and MX. Not very well, but i ride them none the less.;)

[YLW400]

Dag on Honda5, that thing is nice!

How does your trailer pull Paul?

[Ericthered rdr]

Hey guys I hope I am not the only one that is still sore! I need a ride with more suspension. I bottomed out quite a few time and I think that is why I am still hurting.

YLW to answer your question I am looking for a new ride. I am not sure when I am going to do it though because I need to get my knee's fixed and that is going to limit my riding time this year, but if I run across the right deal I am going to jump on it. I see people are starting to unload there 400's to get 450's at really low prices just to unload them.

So have we started working on details for our next ride? It sounds like Rausch is the place. WHen is the question??????

Hope everyone is doing well:D

Eric

[Ericthered rdr]

Hey I saw that this thread had 299 replies so I wanted to give the 300th reply. Man if Neonimpact had any idea what he stared?!?!?!? What ever happened to him anyway. This is by far the most active thread in this fourm.(where to ride)




How long will this thread go???????????

[YLW400]

I have contiplated selling mine this year, but I don't know if I would have the time to get another quad, set it up and get accoustomed to it for this race season....I am definitely going to sell it before next race season, thats for sure..

I am still a little bit sore, not too bad though.

I am hitting Easton again this weekend, or Seaford..One of the two!!!!

[seatec]

Eric, i have to admit that i am also a little sore, still. THen again, i have a good excuse. I am a Desk Jockey. :D

Going out to Easton again. Saturday or Sunday?
I understand that there will be some rain around here this saturday.

Dave and Becky got me and my wife going again on the RV stuff so i am thinking about hitting the RV Show at the Maryland Fair Grounds in Timonium this weekend. Will have to find a place to park the damn thing. That's one of the things that suck about living in a Townhome. Dirt Cheap but no space.

Does Seaford have a website that i can check out?

[YLW400]

I am not sure on what day yet.... What day is good for everyone else?? Are you planning on coming Seatec?

I think it is

www.middlefordspeedway.com

But they don't have much info on the MX track on their page though..

[seatec]

Well, i might be persuaded to come up. I have to get with Harlen and see when he wants to go to the Motorama in harrisburg.
And then there is the RV show. I am thinking about this bad boy here.
Toy Box (http://www.warriormfg.com/Models/LE-gallery.htm)

What do you think?

[YLW400]

That thing is money!!!! Will you buy me one too????? lol

[Ericthered rdr]

Damn all I can say is when I grow up I want to be rich like you guys. Until then I will stay the little Italian man....Meafundsalow:(

Anthony that is so friggin awsome I like some of the options on that thing especialy the screen room. I stopped and looked at a 28' similar to that one at Chessaco and it was about $22,000. They have a storage lot there I don't know how much they charge.

Sounds like bad weather this weekend

[seatec]

YLW. F'n financing dude. THats al i got to say. Unlike Dave and Becky who will let you sleep under the awning (how generous of them :devil: ) i will let MY Friends sleep in side. Plenty of room. Thats why i am looking at something like that. With you pigs (and me!) i can just hose the thing out. :D

Hey Eric, you of italian decendants? We are paisan then. I know, i dont look much like an italian but my grandpa was. I am what you get if you mix and italian guy with a tall blond Northern European woman. Scary aint it?:confused:

Can you see us tracking down to H/M with that thing. Good times!

[YLW400]

lmao, thats too funny, and very considerate and nice of you!! lol Those are very awesome..I have looked at them before, and you got the truck to pull that thing!!

[seatec]

Yeah, its about time i used that truck to tow more than a measly little quad and me around. <insert Tim the Toolman Grunt here>

[seatec]

BTW Eric,
here is a pic of rausch creek. i outlined the Peewee areas for you. Between the two Peewee tracks is a small covered area where the Proud parents can sit and observe their little heroes.

[seatec]

Might help if i actually posted the pic. :o

[Ericthered rdr]

Thanks Seatec! that is awsome wait until you see the little dudes in action you will lyao! BTW I am so many nationalities I lost count all I know is I am an American! I am told I am mostly Irish and Italalian that would explain the hight deficit.

It does not look good for riding this weekend mother nature is back in action again. The eastern shore is supposed to get the worst of it. The RV show sounds like a good idea I could find many ways to spend more money there. If you are serious about buying now is the time of year to do it, plus interest rates are only going to go up.

[YLW400]

Doesn't look like I am going to be riding this Saturday, I am going to East Coast ATV to get my a-arms rebuilt.....Sunday might be a go though.........

[Honda5]

Well I thought we were being very thoughtful in offering a free place to stay under the awning. :D But Seatec, I think you should go buy the Toybox! The way we feel is that you should live life to its fullest and you can't take the money with you when your gone. Love our camper! Also you can write the camper off on your taxes as a second home. This is true!! Let us know how the show goes and if you bought anything!

[seatec]

Hey, i am just joking Dave. i thought it was a nice gesture. I will keep you informed on my RV endeavours.

[YLW400]

I was perfectly happy sleeping under an awning!!:D lol That way noone needs to hear me snore! lol

[Honda5]

Well JC you are more than welcome to stay with us. Seatec-we know you are just kidding but go buy that Toybox!!! We can sleep a total of 6 in our camper and that's not counting the floor. When are we going to Rausch Creek????

[YLW400]

I'll be going with whomever has the DVD palyer and PS2:o lmao, I am only kidding guys, thanks alot for the offers!!! I do snore though :p

[Honda5]

Well it did come with a DVD and a 27" TV. Sorry but we only have a PS1 that could be hooked up. I guess you will have to stay with Seatec!!! lol

[YLW400]

:o It sounds that way:blah: You all getting any snow over there?

[Honda5]

Just flurries off and on over here. Went to Milford, DE after work and there were some heavy flurries down there but nothing on the ground. I know it was snowing early this afternoon down at OC but I don't think it amounted to much. I think the storm is going out to sea. I hope so, I want spring to get here so we can ride. I'm sick of the cold. Becky

[YLW400]

Yea, we are only getting some flurries here too. I wish it would either snow it's butt off, or turn about 80 degrees. I hate the weather like this. I was down at Georgetown earlier this afternoon, and it was putting it down pretty good.

[Ericthered rdr]

I am open to go to Rausch any weekend except Easter. I am excited to get my boys up there. Lets try to get a date set up so we can all make a great day of it as soon as everyone can.

Who all is interested in going?


Eric

[seatec]

I am game for Rausch but probably notthis weekend. J.C. No ps2 here. its Xbox all the way!!! XBox live Rox.
are we watching two wheel tuesday on speed?

BTW, you bring the DvD player and i have the DvD's. I got about 250 DVD's. i know i know. thats weird but i just gotta have some movies.

[Ericthered rdr]

omg I finnaly outdid you seatec I have over 450 dvd's:blah:

[seatec]

no kidding. you got me big time. lol i bow before the DvD master.

[kellam]

I want to ride as soon as possible. Just let me know where and how to get there. Does any one live near Anne Arundel county? I would rather meet with someone so i dont get lost on the way.

[seatec]

Well, now the weather forecast is saying that we have 40%chance of rain on saturday and mid 50's weather.
Interresting

[Ericthered rdr]

Kellam--- no worries about you getting to where you need to go to hook up, between mapquest and cell phones I think you will be ok.

Seatec-- it is funny when I go into some of these mom and pop video rental stores and I have more DVD's then they do. I have all of the good box sets too. My wife is a movie junkie I have my Saprano's Band of brothers, Gladiator and American pie movies and thats good for me she gets the rest for the kids and her.

I am looking for a set of stock front 400ex shocks and a rear Raptor shock... keep your eyes open for me.

Eric

[seatec]

Hehe, you should ask them to sub rent the movies and you will get a commission.
I have some of the boxes too like Band OF Bro's and The Shield. We are also a little Sci-Fi so we have all Babylon 5 seasons except the last one cause its not out yet. Lotsa John Wayne and Clint. I also got some Ah-Nold of course.You will have to come over someday and check it out. i have been meanig to catalog them and dump it in a database and publish it on-line for my firends to see cause they always come over and borrow Movies.

I will keep an eye out for you but i suggest you check ebay and I see that stuff there quite often.

[Ericthered rdr]

dude I found some good deals on here I might have a set of fronts and I found a set of hypers w/r2's for 600 might not be able to let them slip I sent the guy a pm lets see what happens.

now I need a rear Raptor shock look out ebay here I come

[seatec]

Sounds good. lets hope the dude will clen out his pm box. hehe.
Good luck on ebay. I dont know how familiar you are with ebay amd don't want to patronize you but be carefull and always check their feedback.

[Ericthered rdr]

ebay sucks I have never bought anything on there before but I know many people who have with good luck. I might not need to use them though

[kwatts400]

I got a pair of 400ex shocks off of ebay for my 250r for $50. Pretty good deal I think. Is anyone going to motorama, I'll be there w/ a few friends on Sat.

[seatec]

I dont know yet. I am torn between riding/motorama and RV SHow. have to see what the weather does for this weekend.

-Anthony

[Honda5]

Well we have the DVD but no DVD's for it. So make sure when we meet up and we have the camper with us for you guys to bring some. We can't ride this weekend. Let us know when everyone wants to go to Rausch Creek to ride-we want to go too!
Eric-I will have Dave keep an eye out for what you need. I know he has bought alot off ebay and hasn't had any problems.
I'm ready for the warm weather to come on. I'm tired of this cold weather and rain/snow.

~Becky~

[cletusEX]

I think I might have to join you all if you set up a Rausch ride. My buddies and I have been talking about going up there and it sounds like a good bunch of guys.

[seatec]

the more the better cletus. we are gathering us a nice group of riders here.

[Ericthered rdr]

the more the merrier Cletus

[Ericthered rdr]

50% chance of rain on Sat. doesn't say morn day or eve. If it is eve then it is perfect. It can wash that dirt that turned into cement off of my quad. If it is day rain then I am goin to the RV show to see what it feels like to be D&B in that new rolling castle.

Eric

still looking for a rear Raptor shock w/remote rezzi

[seatec]

Speaking of washing dirt of my quad. I couldnt stand the dirt on my quad and just had to get the worst of of it Tuesday evening and i about froze my nuts off doing it. when i was done i had little icecicles hangin from my handlbar. God i am so stupid sometimes its amazing i dont forget to breathe.

[Ericthered rdr]

breath damn it breath!!!!

hey that crap turned into rock hard cement by the time I got home
on Sat. I broke out the preasure washer for that stuff.


I can't ride Sun I have a side job I am doing I have to pay for my new goodies!!

[YLW400]

I know, I tried to get some of that crap off of mine the other night, and it was a mess....lol

[seatec]

Yeah, and i dont even have a pressure washer.

[Ericthered rdr]

hey I got my craptor rear shock!

I still need front 400ex shocks

wait till you guys see what I am doing! I will be the laghing stock of the next ride.

Kellam what is the deal with the place off I95 under the BGE lines?

is it legal because it looks real fun???

[kellam]

so when should i look to see if you all are riding this weekend

[kellam]

that place is awesome. its not exactly legal but theres alot of people that ride there and no one really gets picked on. ive been there around 9 times and never saw one cop. even when we were on the shoulder of 95. wheres forest hill?

[seatec]

So, what are you doing with your quaD? BTW. i just got my +2 +1 LSR Steering stem in . looks pretty good. cant wait to put in on.

[Ericthered rdr]

Seatec...
Now if I let you in on this would't it ruin the surprise????? Besides I think you would rather wait so you can lyao at me when you see it.


Kellam
forest hill is in Harford Co. N.W. of Bel Air
check this thread reguarly! one of us is bound to get something going soon. I think everyone is waiting to see what the weather does. Unfortunately I doubt if I will be out this weekend because I am on call for work and will be working on Sunday.

Eric

[Honda5]

Seatec-I think I know what Eric is doing. He is using the raptor rear shock and the 400 EX shocks on his 250 X, the front end of a 400 fits the frame of a 250X. I did that to my old 250X. Great idea! Works pretty good.
Eric & Seatec-hope you go to the RV show this weekend and hope you buy your rolling castle. Get the toy box Seatec-you can leave it at our house. We have enough room! JC you are still welcomed to stay under the awning of ours.

[seatec]

kellam. YLW might ride this weekend. he is die hard. ok Eric. i wont ask what you are Frankensteinng together in you garage. this oughta be good

[seatec]

Hey Becky? Dave? I dont even know where you guys live. If it is close enough i might take you up on your offer. ill would make it right of course.

[Honda5]

Seatec-we are 45 minutes from the Bay Bridge. Right on up 301. You will find out when you come over to ride when the weather clears up and it gets warmer. becky

[YLW400]

Hey, I'll stay whereever I am welcome!!! lol But again, I am warning you!!! I snore!!! :o :D :blah:

[seatec]

Wow, you guys are really generous. cant wait to come over and ride at your place.

[YLW400]

I know, and they are going to have a bar-be-que too!!! lol Can we do it tomorrow???? lol

[seatec]

If you tell me they gonna have Johnsonvile brats on the BBQ i will drive over right now and wait.:D

[YLW400]

Oh, Johnsonvilles............My mom used to do those in beer on the stove......man were they good!!!!! If we grilled them, i could just drink beer to make it the same:D

[seatec]

You got it amigo! I throw those bad boys n the grill almost every sunday. i always havw two neghbors on my door step every sunday. hehe

[YLW400]

Those things rock...You ever had the cheesy brots?? THose are good as well!My mom is from Wisconsin, I think that is where they are made at if I am not mistaken..

[seatec]

Hey, the cheesy ones are dangerous. the cheese squirts out and its really hot. good times, man

[YLW400]

cheese makes you squeal :D

[seatec]

YLW you are a sick individual:D

[YLW400]

:bandit: Thank you:blah:

[seatec]

so are you riding this weekend? im hoping to get some good weather so i can put the stem in.

[Ericthered rdr]

Well honda5 knows what is goin on with the old x machine
I picked up a Raptor rear shock for $125 bucks and it bolts right on.

I bought a front shock relocator kit for the front and I am bidding on some shocks now.

This is a temporary fix for my jumping woes... unitl I get a better ride. I am going to look at an '01 Raptor tommorrow. I really don't want to buy it but it is loaded w/aftermarket goodies and he only wants 2grand because he is broke and needs fast cash. I have heard real bad horror stories about the '01 so I am not sure. I really want an EX or Z but for 2 grand I could part the thing out and get way more than that out of it?

Brats rule who's cookin

[YLW400]

I am not sure Seatec...I am going to East Caost ATV to get my a-arms rebuilt, I guess I'll have to see what happens when I get home Saturday from there...

Eric, I have heard stories about the 01's as well, jus be careful man... For the right price my POS might be for sale! ..lol

[seatec]

[YLW400]

[kellam]

[Ericthered rdr]

Don't look good for Saturday

I'll be out next weekend I'll be working on the X machine and going to RV show ( I just got to know what it feels like to be rich and famous like D&B) maybey I'll run into Seatec buying his TOYBOX. Hope everyone has a good weekend



Cya
Eric

[seatec]

Hey Eric,
Yeah we might run into each other there. It's not like you can miss me or anything. Ill be the one yelling at the Sales person for being a total mornone to even dare to ask a price that high. :D

I just love dealing with sales people. It's like a little war.

Anyway, ill be wrenching to tmorrow and put my Steering stem in and new SS brake lines. THat oughta be interresting since i never ever bled a brake line before. i think i might pick up one of those automotive blleders from Pep Boys or something. Is there a style that is peferred or are they all the same?

[Honda5]

As soon as the weather clears and our track dries up from all the snow and rain. We will let you guys know when to come over to ride. It's not a big track but it closely resembles the beginner track at Easton with a few doubles and whoop section. I also have a small woods trail to ride. This is fun for a one day ride. Bring the brats, wife, kids and quads!

[Honda5]

Seatec- it's real easy to bleed the brakes. Just take your time, and go slow and just do one side at a time by pumping the oil thru. Don't let the ressy go low. You shouldn't have a problem

[seatec]

I was wondering how i would do a doubel brake line bleed. Its not the split kind but a dual line right from the banjo bolt. Just keep one side closed on the caliper an the other open? and the reverse?

Anthony

PS i bet it will be fun hanging out at your place with the guys.

You guys are really close to Budds Creek right? are you going to race MX or HS there?

[Delaware152]

YLW400.. I am going to Seaford on Sunday. It is supposed to be nice and the track was is good shape last weekend so this week should be even better. You better ride b/c 4 laps at Budd's Creek next weekend could be ugly. Whose are you meeting up to East Coast b/c I figured all of them would be at Motorama.

[YLW400]

If i can get up there Saturday and get it home at a decent hour..and put it all back together again, I Will be there Sunday. I am meeting with Matt, he said between 1:30 and 2..I have to call today and confirm with him though.

Are any of you guys coming to Budds next weekend for the mX race??

Seatec, if I were you I Would buy one of those tools, I have had nothing but problems with bleeding brake lines...lol Maybe I just suck at it..lol

[seatec]

I am on the fence about going to the MX event at Budds Creek. I will probably come to watch at least to get some idea how it works. Never done the MX. I probably wont even be able to do 4 laps on that track anyway. Ill be "that guy" who looks like a fool , head jerking back and forth and almost falling of his bike from exhaustion and all.:D

I'll definately get one of those bleeder tools to make the job easier for me. and if i mess it up ill just use engine braking and rear brake to slow down. :eek2:

[YLW400]

I don't think you would be "that guy"...lol You will see some of "those guys" there though...lol You oughta at least come out and check it out!

You have a Jake brake on that thing, right?..lol

[kwatts400]

Hey Honda5, you said you are 45 mins. up 301 from the bay bridge. Sounds like you are pretty close to Galena or Millington? My g/f lives right outside of Galena. I work outside of Galena as well, at my families restaurant. Next time there is a ride at Easton (schedule permitting) I plan on crashing at her place so that I can make the ride. This weekends out for me though, I will be at motorama all day on Sat.

[Delaware152]

Seatec...Try opening both bleeders and let them gravity feed. Just make sure you keep the master cylinder full or so it doesn't get air. When fluid starts running out the bleeders then bleed each side. This works for me. Hope this helps. Let me know if any questions.

[seatec]

Thanx for the tip. thats wat i will do.

[Ericthered rdr]

Seatec... definately gravity bleed the brakes first! just keep the rezzy full then beed left sie first then right side. If you have any probs I am only 5 mins away. You know the number.

What is motoramma all about I have never heard of it? My friend at work mentioned he was going. It must only be for cool people because I have no idea.

Delaware152.... I saw you riding at Seaford last Sat but didn't get to meet you. You are a damn good rider. Mabey after I get done growing up trying to be rich and famous like Dave and Becky I will be able to ride like you!!!:eek2:

[seatec]

THanx for the offer Eric, i will definately take you up the offer if i need it.

[kwatts400]

I've heard it is racing all weekend long. Everything from bikes to quads to karts. There should be a lot of venders too.

[Delaware152]

Ericthered Rdr...Thanks. I don't know about being good but I am definately not rich or famous. lol. Just many years of riding.

[seatec]

Ahhh, false modesty. :D J/K Delaware152

[YLW400]

Delaware152 rides?:confused: :blah: :D

[Delaware152]

The way this year is going I am doing more mechanicing than riding. The motor has been dropped 3 times between the two bikes. My wrenching skills are improving. lol

[seatec]

Whats the problem wiht your motors? You know that black luiquid that some people put in their motors? You really cant replace that with tap water you know.:D J/K

[YLW400]

Thats true Delaware...Since your wrenching skills are going up, could you give me riding lessons, and be my mechanic??:D

[YLW400]

Cannondales require oil?:confused: :D

[Delaware152]

Maybe that's been my problem. I was trying to save a little weight

[seatec]

Man, i cant wait to try the YFZ with the longer steering stem. I hope the SS lines make the brakes a little better too. One of the things that could be a tad better IMHO.

[YLW400]

Just do like Brady, and only use 3 lug nuts on each wheel..lmao

Did you get them bled Seatec?

[seatec]

Dude, i am at work dreaming about wrenching on the quad right now.:( I also have to wait for good weather before i can wrench. some of us dont have the luxury of a Garage you know. See how poor i am.

When i had the bike i used to walk it down these really steep steps just to be able to wrench on them in the basement. It's amazing i hadnt killed myself doing it. Just to indicate how steep these steps where. We had to winch the bike out of the basement. thats how steep it is. Crazy stuff.

[Delaware152]

The things you will go through in order to ride. lol

[YLW400]

You should be able to just throw that thing on your back and carry it out of there!! It is actually pretty decent here right now suprisingly...

[Delaware152]

It's very nice right now. I wish I was riding but first I have to put the motor back in. Trust me that is like work.

[YLW400]

I getto go home and pull my a-arms off for tomorrow....And hope and pray I can get everythign together by Sunday.....Seatec!!!!!!!!! Looks like Sunday at Seaford!! You down?

[seatec]

yup nuts isnt it?

[Ericthered rdr]

I have a garage Anthony you are welcome to use it anytime the weather is bad!

I will be putting it to good use replacing my suspension.

Oh I bought the winning 225,000,000 Mega millions ticket so dont bother

[seatec]

i appreciate that Eric but i will be buying my own 15 car garage when I WIN the 225 mil. :D

[Honda5]

Eric-Dave says that if you don't buy that Raptor to let him know because he knows someone that is looking for one.

Well Eric and Seatec I hope to see new campers when you win the mega millions!!! :D

We can't ride this weekend. Too much going on and one of our boys are sick. Maybe next time.

[seatec]

Becky sorry to hear you kid is sick. if i win the mega millions you can be sure that i will a big ole diesel pusher class with a trailer full of quads.:D

[Mxjunkie]

Blue Diamond is a pretty sweet track, the pro track is crazy i've herd 60 foot doubles. You have to have a membership to ride there or something,75 bucks first time u go for a member ship then its like 50 bucks a year and 25 bucks everytime u ride 9 am till dark, I'm going to try to go and ride there sometime.

[Ericthered rdr]

hey junkie let us know what it is like. I want to check it out I live less then an hour away. Those prices sound high. I hope it is cheaper then that for all of our sake who decide to ride there. you can ride all day at the Landing in easton for $33 bucks! that is a deal, and the tracks are cool! The advanced track there is just sick!!!!!!

[Ericthered rdr]

Here is a link to many leagal riding area's in and near Maryland. I remembered I had it in my bookmarks and figured it might be usefull to everyone in this thread. Enjoy and don't forget to let us know how any of these are if you have been to them.

LEGAL Riding Areas in and around Maryland (http://enduro.4t.com/riding.htm)

[Honda5]

where did you all go ? I guess eric and seatec are out getting all the paper work finished on their new campers,jc is putting his a arms back on and delaware 152 is out riding (lap # 788 "damn that boy can ride lap after lap")and all I got to do today was a bunch of honey-do list things.

[seatec]

nah. havent signed any paper work yet. am debating what to get. am taking my time. tomorrow i will be wrenching with rtse440 and put all my stuff on.

[YLW400]

I made it back:D It was a long day, but all I can say is ECA is badarse.....Matt is the man! Got all new ball joints in er', I oughta be ready to go!! Honda5, you coming to Seaford tomorrow??? I know Delaware152, PGregg, and myself are going. looks like Seatec is doin' a little wrenchin tomorrow......I might be a little late, I still gotta wash the quad from last weekend:huh lol
PM me in the morning if you are going, or just drop down, they open at 11:D Hope to see some of you all there!! J.C.

[kwatts400]

I just got home from motorama in Harrisburg. It definately was an event, I was there for about 10 hours and don't think I saw everything that I could have. I was suprised to see a few big names in the quad finals, John Natalie, Dunk, Pat Brown, & Dustin Wimmer. Natalie won the main. Definately glad I took the day off to go, now I just need to get some riding in.

[Mxjunkie]

Blue Diamond is sick, the pro track is awesome. I'm going to start going there more. Me and my dad had alot of fun if you guys want to ride there go ahead its pretty nice man. heres the site if u want to see it,www.bluediamondpark.com

[Mxjunkie]

Have any of you been to potter county in pa, the trails there are pretty nice shamokin was awesome but they closed them down because a guy came in with a dump truck and dumped all these tires everywhere

[Honda5]

can't make it to seaford today got more honey do's to do today, never been to potter co. seatec my wife always says the bigger the better.

[seatec]

yo, hope all of you guys had a fun day riding. i was wrenching away with rtse440. had some minor set bax with the cycra guards and the stock clutch perch not working with a longer YZ clutch cable. the +2 +1 chrome lsr stem and chrome xbar look awesome. btw, who sells the works adjustable clutch perch and can overnight it to me?

[Ericthered rdr]

hey guys!! I had a busy weekend working and it was not fun. I hope to get to ride next weekend.

Seatec... I would of course recommend one of the site sponsors. if they can't help try this link (http://www.moto-man.com/atv.html)

I am going to see the tax man tommorrow so if I don't return things went bad. If things go good I'll have a new toy the next time you guys see me:D
wish me luck

[seatec]

cool.. keeping fingers crossed for you dude.

[YLW400]

Hey guys, you all missed a great day of riding (sorry to run it in) lol Quads actually had their own class yesterday. There were peobably 20 quads....It was Delaware152, Pgregg, myself.......The JRD guys, and quite a few others. The track was actually dusty! In pretty good shape though!! Maybe next time;) So, who all is coming to Budds this weekend?

[seatec]

Yeah rub it in!! Nah, actually had a good time wrenching even with the set backs we had with the handguards and the clutch cable. I orderd a Works Pro Perch to fix the clutch problem. I just thought of a chreap way to fix it but i'd rather have a works clutch perch. :devil: I might come down to budds to watch the race but im not going to participate. I'd rather live a few more years thank you. I think i need a half a season on MX tracks before i feel that i can go out on a track and not get killed or kill somebody else.

Anyway, how did you do yesterday and how did the arms perform?

[Honda5]

jc what is the schedule for budds and what day/days. I might load up the rv and go down.eric I talked to the tax man on friday and it was not good for me i've got to give him the money for my a-arms,shocks, stem+other parts(guess i'll start saving again).seatec you asked about where I lived and i said off 301 I should have stated on the shore a little town called sudlersville. I'll talk to my buddy that was on the moto to see if he wants to go we will call him "slow moto" so we dont get him confused with delaware 152.

[YLW400]

Wrenching is always fun man...When everything goes as planned anyway...lol I actually got the arms put on in no time..Everything went flawless, I couldn't believe it. I started around 8:30 on Saturday night, and had it done around 10...that was with eating in the middle too! Mounted up perfectly. Well if you come I can at least have you in my cheering section:D They have good pulled pork sandwhiches too!! lol I rode better that I have in a long time......maybe ever actually...lol I think that break helped me..sounds strange, but I really think it did.

Honda, I have heard there is racing on Saturday, and Sunday, I am not sure though. I will be leaving here around 5:30-6am on Sunday, and arriving around 8 or 8:30. Quads usually practice at 10:20, but i have seen it as early as 9:45....Tell that guy on that Moto to stay out of C class!!!! lol I don't need that fast *** thing in my class. Are you going to race Honda5??

[Delaware152]

I will be there. I heard it was actually dusty at Budd's yesterday also. There were around 30 quads there. This weekend there will probaly be twice that..in C right YLW400. I am hoping to have the "race C-Dale ready very soon. Then I can keep one of them running. lol

[seatec]

J.C- Glad your arms went on ok. Lookig forward to seeing them in action. Is it true that i could practice but just now run the actuall race? how does that work? Maybe i can get RTSE and Eric to come also but dont really know their schedules.
I definateky want to run the quad somewhere today. THats why i took friday of so i can put the new Pro Perch on and re-jet and do a little shake down.

Delaware152. you got two C-Dales? cool.

[YLW400]

You are probably right Delaware. THere will be a thousand quads in "C" class.. I Would like to actually have a full gate, and no more. When I race I only get to race against 12 or so because they split the class up.... Hey Delaware....do you have a phone number for D-7????? I sent a check to them a few weeks back, and I need to check the status to see if I am going to have my card by this weekend!!

[seatec]

YLW, i just came from Budds website and they state sign up is at 7, practice is at 9 and racing at 11.

[seatec]

I paid D7 at sign up for a HS last year and they never send me my card. had to use the pay stub for proof that i paid. that sux.

Here are the only contacts i can find for ya.
http://www.amadistrict7.com/standard/contact.php

[YLW400]

Yea, the sign up booth usually opens at 7, but if you get there that early to sign in you would just kick yourself in the butt..lol I usually sign up around 8:30 or so, and I'm fine..Delaware is the same way, thats where I got it from:D You oughta come out and race though man, it is a blast. You don't have to jump everything, just come out and have fun! Heck ,I don't jumo everything!! lol

Thanks for the link!!! Did you just tear the bottom piece off of your application for proof?

[seatec]

I'll think about the race YLW. i suck pretty bad at jumping and amalways afraid that if i roll something som Jackass is gonna land on my head:D


When you pay D7 at the booth they tear the bottom strip off. its only like 1 inch high and and the width of the form. i still have my regualr AMA card good until 8/2004 so only have to pay D7 and 25 bux to race i guess.

What do you mean about not having to jump everyting? is there stuff i absolutely have to jump? If so, how big are the jumps.
As you can tell, im a bit nervous about that.:(

[seatec]

I was just reading the forums on the D7 site and some guy said something about this race track in PA called Wolfmann's Motocross.
Seems to be real newbie mx friendly.
ANybody heard of it?

Here is the link. Wolfman (http://www.wolfsmoto.com/)

[YLW400]

Yea, that would never be a good thing..lol

Oh, I see..I payed through the mail like a dum dum, and now it is going to take forever to get to me.. Yup, thats all you need!!

No certaintly not, there is not a single jump you HAVE to jump at all. You can ride over every single one if you want. Once you do it more you will be more comfortable...This track isn't know for huge jumps at all....Most of it is elevation changes, up hills and back down. There are 2 very off camber turns though...THose are probably the most overwhelming things honestly. If you aren;t doing anything on Saturday, and don't live too awfully far maybe you could ride over and check it out. I am not sure how close you live to there though...If anything, bring the quad on Sunday and your gear....If you want to race, go for it, if you don't, nothing lost...

[seatec]

J.C. i have been ad budds and seen the NAtionals (quads) race there but only seen the track from where the parking area is. never really walked the track.

BTW, what did you chck of on the Form? MX A-B-C?
I think i might want to do 30+ or 4 stroke. wadda ya think?

[Delaware152]

JC..I noticed on the Budd's website they have results up from yesterday. By the numbers yesterday looks like C class could be entertaining next weekend. lol

[Ericthered rdr]

Hey guys,
I want to run a HS this year what cards do I need. Also what class should I go in I am 31 so does that put me in w/the old farts:blah:

Seatec I can't go on Sunday I am wrapping up a side job...I need the money for some riding gear so I can look good like you guys:devil:

[seatec]

Eric, Sorry to hear about SUnday but maybe next time.
To run HS you need the AMA card and the D7 card bot available at the Booth at BUdds Creek. THe Cards will be sne t home to you and in the mean time you hold on to you form stubbs and those are proof. Look at BUddscreek (http://www.buddscreek.com) and see what classes in quad they run.
They have quad Vet, 2-stroke and 4-stroke. and Vet i think.

I also want to run HS also. sounds like fun.

[Ericthered rdr]

Looks like I would do the Quad Vet class

have any of you guys done the HS at budds yet?? just wondering how hard and long the race is??? I am just looking to have some fun.

[greghall]

Eric,you will need a disctrict 7 card & ama card & also what class & has A class,VET A class,4 stroke B,2 Stroke B I heard they may change that but I havent heard anything Vet class is tough I was the #1 vet for 2 years & #2 foir the first two years & I would cosinitly finish in the top five overall in mostly all the races but I havent races for tow years & last years vet class was the toughest you have some real fast guys in it now so enless you are real fast I would race B Im going to race B to test my speed when I get my bike & race at budds inthe spring,we will have to get together to ride & test our speed in the woods somne guys are real fast & never raced before,but it will take a few races to sort it all out because you have to be smart in a HS also speed dont always win the race somrtimes its whos smarter.I hope to race B if they let me because vet was a A class & I couldnt run in B.let me know if you have anymore locall HS ? im still up on it & know most of the people who race dist. 7.

[greghall]

also races are only 1 hour thats not that tough but its fun at budds heard they put in some new trails also.

[seatec]

I raced two HS at budds creek on my CRF450. THe course is about 4 mile and not very technical but can be tricky with mud.
I made the mistake of doing my first HS every on the hottest day after 3 days of rain 2 years ago. i thought i was going to pass out right there on the bike and all i kept chanting to myself was , DON'T STALL THE BIKE, DON'T STALL THE BIKE, . That was brutal but i was totally unprepared and the race was 2 hours.

Eric, i will join you and do a HS at budds in the c class i guess if possible or wherevere noobs like me start. 4-stroke or so might be good too. Anyway, well figure it out. I would get the cards first so you wont get slammed with a big billed at the booth.
(39 ama + 15 D7+ 10 entrance fee + 25 race) dang.

[seatec]

BTW. We have to shame RTSE440 into comming with us and do a HS. :D

[Ericthered rdr]

I think we/I should start at the weekest class I can if I don't score a new ride. I am pretty fast but I can only go as fast as the X machine will go. My streghth is woods riding. I look forward to running in an HS now I just need a better ride to do it with:confused:

[YLW400]

I saw that JT, C class was full...lmao Some kid swept both races too...I wonder if he is a D-7 guy? I better ride every night this week...lol Seatec, I check C class....FOr D-7 we only have A,B,C, and Vet...there is no 4 stroke, 2Stroke..I run with Raptors, Predators. R's...you name it, it;s out there..lol

ALso for Budds HS races, I have heard many guys complain that that place is too easy....I personally have no clue what it's like, I am just telling you what I have heard..lol Too many trees for me..lol

[seatec]

I definately will start at the lowest skill level. Am not very skilled and my endurance blows chunks. Stuffing my faxe with this Chalupa right now isnt helping either;)

[YLW400]

maaaaaaaaann, your eating a chalupa???????? That sounds awesome right about now...lol

[seatec]

I trust a tree more than i do the Jumps. lol
Budds is easy if its not wet. if it rained for a day its a mud fest.

[seatec]

Oh yeah man. And to top it off i even had a proper english speaking person take my order. Yeah Baby. It's a good day for me.

[YLW400]

:huh You must of not of been in Md when you ordered it then...lol

[seatec]

lol, no im pretty sure it was on York rd in HUnt Valley.

[Ericthered rdr]

Seatec you must have went to the Baja Fresh love that place....while you guys were yappin I was at Don Pablo's in Columbia. It must be a sowth west day.

[YLW400]

Not for me.:( I had roast beef.....Maybe for dinner tonight!!!:D

[seatec]

Nah man. was a Taco Bell but now that you've mentioned Baja Fresh i might have to snag a me a Dos Manos or something.
Damn, boy. You got some good ideas.

[cletusEX]

I race D-7 HS. You guys should definitely come out. Budds is a good track for a beginner or somebody just getting back into racing. No rocks and not too many tight sections. It can be real muddy if it rains. As for classes, there are fast guys in every class. I race the 4-stroke b class and usually am right in the middle. (If I don't wreck:p )

[greghall]

will have my bike wed. maybe I will go to sugar hill rd. to try it out sat. been to long since I went riding can't wait,Ill see you at Budds soon as I can for a HS.Hopefully I still have something to show you guys:D

[seatec]

Greg. i took friday off to get my quad sorted out. maybe ill meet you at sugar hill.

[greghall]

I have to see whats going on, my buddy is getting his the same day so we will both be there on 450R's.

[seatec]

oh my. ill be the lone YFZ with two bully TRX's. hehe

[greghall]

Yeah tow old guys I just turned 37 sat. my buddys the same age & we are out of shape & not have not rode in awile also you young guys have no fear:D

[seatec]

Yeah yeah. i heard this old guy crap before just before i got my *** kicked.:D and besides. i am 33 goign on 34 and not exactly in shape.

[greghall]

we'll see Im going to baby her awile + I dont want to get too muddy my power washer froze & cracked the pump this winter that will set me back $300.:(

[seatec]

ouch on the pressure washer. YOu are not goign tobaby her to much are you? get a eton then. lol

[Ericthered rdr]

I stopped by sugar hill on Thurs. and it was a mess. There is not a whole lot of room there to enjoy a 450. If you think you are not gonna get muddy there I got some bad news for you!!!

OH good news Uncle Sam was very good to me:devil:

If anybody up here needs a tax guy let me know because this guy really knows how to work the numbers.

Maybe........... I'm REALLY liking this MX stuff though!!

Got the new HMF on ..... Feelin a ride at Rausch Creek this weekend maybe ? I'm dying to try this baby out on a track!!

[seatec]

are you saying that you'd rather do a MX race?

[RTSE440]

I didn't quite say that....but....................

For right now I'm pretty content doing the recreational MX track riding tour :D

( gotta increase my jumping abilities before I would venture into a "real" MX race. Also my endurance stinks! I'd be the slowest guy out there. Everybody would be pointing and laughing. Little kids would be running beside me giggling. It'd be aweful and I'm so insecure:D )

[cletusEX]

Seatec, race 4 stroke B. D-7 doesn't have a C class so B is a good place to start. Especially at Budds there are usually some first time guys in the B class. The vet class has some pretty fast guys.

I like the sound of b-class better then vet I am in no hurry to make myself feel any older then I already am.

I am looking to ride Saturday morning who's going where??

[seatec]

Eric, i am still on the fence about where to ride. I kinda wanna check out Budds Creek but probably wont have the balls to actually compete but thats sunday. RTSE wants to go to Rausch creek which i havent been to in a while either and wouldnt mind doing. I guess first things first. i have to make sure my quad can actually run before i make any kind of decision. I think Sugar hill is out after your report on what the conditions are out there.
Maybe we can hit Grayson on saturday but thats probably washed out too.

[Ericthered rdr]

I would like to do Rausch but my kids have their last indoor soccer game on Saturday at 4pm so I think Rausch is a little far.
Lets see how much precip we get today and try to make a decision from there. Also I should have my trailer by this Friday so when we do go somewhere like Rausch you and Chris are welcome to hop on and save the need to take multiple trucks.

[seatec]

Is Sunday a bad riding day for you?

[Ericthered rdr]

I am finishing a side job on Sunday (I hope...)
If not I am on for anywhere on Sunday.

I am going to see if I can unload my sons JR50 and get him an LT80 before the weekend

[seatec]

Ok, we will see what we wil do for the weekend. we have time.
Good luck on the JR50 sale. will keep my eyes open.

I think you all need to come race the MX race at Budds in the "C" class so I will have someone to ride with!!!:D This SUnday! lol

[seatec]

Let me refraze (sp?) your words YLW. YOu need us to ride in the C-Class so you can whoop up on us:D

[Ericthered rdr]

yup I can see him now lapping me 10 times.... lol
I need a faster quad:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

[seatec]

Well, i also forsee RTSE440 whooping me badly. He is already faster than me and now he has a HMF pipe. It's not going to be pretty for me.

So, are you getting the Raptor or not?

[YLW400]

Phooey, I'll be lucky to make 4 laps period, more less whoppin anyone...lol

[Ericthered rdr]

Man I don't know yet I was supposed to go look at it over the weekend but he went to Motoramma on sat then Budds on Sun so as soon as I hook up it should be a done deal as long as the thing is what he says it is. My only problem is that I hear so many horror storries about the "Craptor". I went to a couple of sites and found the problems they have and from what I can see once you upgrade those two main problems (second gear and starter oneway) they are good to go. I would prefer a 400 but the price is right on this one. I tried to see if the wife would let me just go finnace a new one but that went over like a fart in church and sice I need what she has..... you get the point!

[seatec]

Call her bluff and see if she needs what you have more.:D J/K
Wifes have a way of being sensible ob that stuff.

Hey if the rappy is in good shape and not too beat up then you wil do really good on it. gobs of power.

Hey guys, saw the awesome thread you have going on and had to join the forum. I am from Jarrettsville, MD and saw a lot of local posts so i figured i would sign up. As always, looking for places to ride(legally, got a little kid you know). I have a 97 Banshee(please dont hold that against me) and my son has a KX60 that we rebuilt last winter after dragging it out of somebodies barn(you oughta see it, looks brand new). Also street ride and have a 98 Kawi ZX7R. I know this is a Ex forum but I have found LOTS of good info and tips. Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and say hi.

[seatec]

Hey CHeckster,
Glad to meet you. I live not far from you in Bel Air. Nobody here will hold the shee against you. My ride is a YFZ, so it doesnt really matter what you ride. i personally dont know of many legal riding spots except the known places like Budds, Rausch and the landing.
Lucky for me, i have a friend who has some land that he and i ride on on occasion but we keep that secret. lol.

I know what you mean about that. The real shame is you have to be like now a days or before you know it there's tons of idiots there leaving trash, tossing beer cans, and just basically screwing it up for everyone. So, you ride a YFZ huh? Did you go to motorama last weekend? I think they had every YFZ yamaha built there racing this past weekend.....LOL It was crazy how many I saw. Made me wanna get one to.

[seatec]

I didnt go to the Motorama but if you read Harlens race report in the racing forum you'll see that there where a lot of YFZ there.
I think its onlybecause it was out first and will equalize later this year. So where do you usually ride?

[Ericthered rdr]

hey checkster we are growing a good crowd here. glad to see you joined us. you are right, there is a ton of usefull information in this forum however most of this thread is useless crap of us picking on ourselves and others. we are all trying to get something going for this weekend so check in often feel free to poke fun and dont be ashamed of that banshee cause it is a heck of alot better then what I ride. Have you been to any of the tracks in the area (within 100 miles) oh I live in Spenceola behind cmart so you are real close to Seatec and I


Eric

[checkster]

Never been to a "track"on the Shee. I did take the street bike to Michigan this past September to road race it with a bunch of guys (about 50)I know from the internet. It was sweet rented the whole track for two days, got some killer pics of me draggin my kneee around the corners. Right now im waiting on the kid to hone his skills a little bit before I take him anywhere. This is going to be his second summer on a clutch and sometimes he's a little unsure of himself on some terrian. I know where Spenceola is, its 10 minutes from my house. I live at the very end of mountain rd 152. Right at the intersection of 152 and 146.

[Ericthered rdr]

I know right where you are. your kiddo will be fine on one of the peewee tacks. I intend to bring my little guys with me the next time I go. Man you live right neer that huge soccer field, man that has got to be tempting w/about 2-3 inches of snow on it:devil: :devil:

[checkster]

yeah my buddies property backs right up to the field. i have been known to cut threw his woods and let the shee roost out on the field once in a while......hahaha. have not really had a chance to run her in the snow to much this winter as I have been doing the top end and suspension

[greghall]

I gona try to get to sugar hill early sat if weather holds out & try out my new R ,where are you guys going to ride?

[checkster]

how is it there? is it "cool"?

[seatec]

Well, i just got of the phone with RTSE440 and he and some other guys you havent met yet are going up to Rausch on Sunday.(most likely) if that falls thorugh we might hit The Landing again. We are quite addicted to that track and its close. thats what i like the most. i drag severe ***** comming back from Rausch after a days worth of riding. Im getting old. Greg, i might stop by at sugar hill and ehck out the quad and how you are lugging it around.:D what truck do you have so i'll know.

YLW, im gonna take a rain check on the Rausch race. i dont think i am ready but will do a race this year after i have more on track experiance and am actually able to hold my line on the track.:rolleyes:

[greghall]

Ill maybe be in my old white 89 dodge truck or my buddy may have his green ranger there w/white enclosed trailer

cool.

[Honda5]

I think I'm lost someone is going to budds,someone is going to sugar hill, someone is going to rausch creek,someone is going to easton you guys have got to get it together. I may not get out this weekend might just stay home and ride my little track.

[Ericthered rdr]

yup we are a little disorganized this week:confused:

I thought you were racing the "R" at Budds Dave?!?!? Is everyone at the D&B mansion feeling better? I think what it looks like is that JC and 152 are racing at buds. Seatec and RTSE440 and some friends are going to Rausch on Sunday. Greghall is going to Sugarhill on Saturday. I am not sure what day I am going to do my side job but if I work on Sat I want to go to Rausch. So I hope you got all of this because there is going to be a test on Friday.:blah:

Actually I think the game plan was to wait till later in the week till everyone had an idea of what they had going on. I just wish the weekends were four days long instead of two:D
