MARYLAND - anyone?

[seatec]

I with you on the 4-day weekend plan. I am actually availabe saturday and sunday if the wrenching on Friday goes according to plan. The weather is going to be awesome for sure.
Eric, is sugar hill all swamped out for sure? I may wanna sling some mudd with greg and friend.

[YLW400]

Well :blah: lol

Hey, this might get your all's attention.....Not the weekend, but the weekend of March 7th, there is a D-7 race over at The landing!

Also, Seatec, are you still looking for a toyhauler? I found some pretty cool looking ones here in Dover last night. Reasonably priced too..They don't look like the normal ones. THis one was a black V-nose. Kinda looks like like just an enclosed trailer with windows..lol It doens't have the paneling like exterior walls that most do, looks really sharp.. 24' for like 16,000......

[Ericthered rdr]

how many did you buy JC????????

Seatec I will see what yesterdays precip did to sugar hill and give a report tonight for you and Greg. It looks like I might work on Saturday and ride on Sunday with the little dudes, so keep me posted on your plans for Sunday.

[seatec]

YLW, 16K. hmm not bad. sure beats 40k i was quoted on the fiver from fleetwood called the "GearBox" I might have to do the trailer type first before going big like D & B.

I think Rausch is a go Eric. SInce i dont have theballs to ride with J.C in the budds race.:(

[YLW400]

Eric, I bought one for you, one for Seatec, one for Honda, and one for me..Greghall, you want one too?:D lol

It might be worth checking out anyway Seatec.........I like the looks of them better than the others....imho..

I think you all need to come race Budds.....It would be an awesome time. No time like the present!:D

[Honda5]

I think I'll be at the landing on 3-7-04 for the race (hope I can find my D-7 recept )
by the way is this the longest thread on ex riders yet?

[seatec]

i might be there (budds) stay tuned.

I just talked to RTSE440 and he is sick as a dog and he most likely wont be going to Rausch or anywhere for that matter.

What am i to do.

YLW: what are the pre-requisites for racing at budds?
AMA+D7.
what needs to be on the quad? number plates and kill switch?

[seatec]

Cool! Maybe we will win an award:D

[YLW400]

We should suggest it to Harlen :D

Honda, if you don't have it, send them an e-mail to the link that's on here ASAP, and tell them you never received a card...Very nice guy to deal with...

Seatec, you need AMA, D-7 cards.....Number plates with contrasting colors..white on black, or vice versa...These need to be displayed on both rear fenders, a number plate on the rear of the quad, a number plate on the front of the quad (or the numbers on the front nosepiece like i have it), I am not sure if Nerfs are mandatory, but you have them anyway...Kill switch..........I think that covers it..............

[seatec]

i dontthink i can do the kill switchbefore the weekend. i guess dirt first would have the number plates for me. how do i get a number anyway?
I think my D7 ran out but i can renew at the track i think.

[YLW400]

A kill switch should take no time man....Heck ,they might even sell them at the track. Your number should be on your D-7 card....you did get a competition card, didn't you? If it did run out, yea you can get it at the track.

[seatec]

Nope, i never received my card either. I just used the stub to ride in the HS competition. So i guess this sunday is off for me then or don't i need the card and number right away?. Damn D-7. i hear that a lot of peole never get their cards and have to beg to get them. whats up with that?

Anyway, Pappy seems to like this kill switch setup from Baldwin (http://www.exriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=91583) . Maybe ill get that! for the Next D7 race at the Landing?

[YLW400]

That seems nice....don't have to worry about splicing any wires pr anything...Looks good dude!! Have you sent D-7 money yet? If you haven't, maybe you should wait until Easton and just get a membership there to insure you have it, ya' know? If you wanted to I assume you could show them the stub that they gave you last time, and maybe they would assign you a number....It's your call man, it seems too rushed and stuff right now, maybe it would be better to just hit Easton..

[seatec]

I am sensing the same thing YLW. i think ill sit this one out and hit easton. Good thing about that is that i know the track better and maybe get a practice session in before then.

One question. if i check off quad mx and HS mx do they need an extra 3 bux or is the extra 3 bux just for an extra card as an spare card. feeling a little dumb here.

[YLW400]

Exactly......I got 2 races back to back, or I would be over there next weekend practicing...lol

[seatec]

Good for you! I think i might go ver there next weekend do the intermediate track all day and get familiar with it.
THanx for all the info on what to get and do. ill be bending your ear some more on how to prep for the race. i am a bit worried about my rzrII tires not being ideal for the mx racing. i had a hard time slidnig them thorugh the turns witch in turn made my arms very tired trying to steer the bike thorugh the turns. should i get different tires or maybe thorugh the stock tires on for now.

[YLW400]

Anytime man, just hope I helped a little bit:D I kinda went into it blind, but met Delaware152 at my first race, and he showed me th ropes throughout the season. He and his dad (my coach)..lol As far as tires, I am not sure. I just bought a set of Holeshots MXR's. They have a slightly softer compound which may help... I am not real familiar with the Razr's though. I know that it was probably a bad day at Easton to compare tires with all of the mud and stuff though..

[Delaware152]

Seatec..If you are only wanting to race a few mx's I wouldn't even get a district card unless they make you. If you already have an ama or atva that will probaly be ok. I raced for 4 or 5 years and never had a district card b/c I wasn't worried about points and it saved a couple bucks. With your tires..what size are your wheels. I have some used turf tamers and holeshots. I will sell cheap.

[YLW400]

you heading out around the same time Delaware? 6 or so?

[Delaware152]

Yeah. I'll probaly get there around 8:00. That way I can see if they have changed anything but I don't think they have.

[YLW400]

They better not of! I don't like that one little "S" turn section they put down at the bottom of the one downhill...

[Delaware152]

I like that. It's a good place to make some passes.

[seatec]

Delware. thanx ofr the offer but i am one of those guys who has to buy NEW. It's a disorder, really.:D
As for the D7 card. Last time i did a HS at BUdds i think they insisted on having a D7 or pay for it right there. I didnt think it was an option. They certainly made it seem that way.

[YLW400]

Delaware, do you mean it's a good place for me to get passed?? lol:D

[Delaware152]

Seatec..It all depends on the person at sign up. I guess I was lucky. I would even pay attention to which lady was asking and which one wasn't or talk to them and they would forget to ask. It would piss other people off that had to buy one and I didn't. lol

[seatec]

Yeah pissing me of is a good idea. lol J/K
Glad you got lucky (or is it smart?) ;)

[seatec]

SO yesterday my cool new aftermarket Towing mirros come and i unpackthem like its X-mas, giggling like a little school girl. I pick oneof them up and the friggin glas falls out. How do you like that one?
Anyway, i called them and they are sending me a new insert. all is good. My GF said that i had this really stupid (dumbfounded) look on my face when the mirror fell out.:(

[Ericthered rdr]

Sugar Hill is drying out so it should be fine to ride there on Sat. We are going to have dry windy weather to help dry things out even more. It is going to be 65Deg on Sunday!!

I hope rtse440 gets better soon!

[greghall]

got her home today that bike is bad makes the 400EX seem slow the kick start is going to take alittle time to get use to,it even broke to tires loose in second gear on pavement,God willing ill be at sugar hill befor 9 AM sat. to try her out,only can stay a few hours.Maybe ill see you guys there.

[seatec]

congratz on thr quad. those 450 are sick!? hehe

i got my works clutch lever in today. you sure get a nice perch and lever for the money. i may opt for the shorty lever though.
Fixed my YZ clutch cable. 1 down. 3 to go. hehe.

[Ericthered rdr]

Greg did you get your other delivery yet???

Seatec I got some new goodies today too:devil:

[pgregg131]

I think I am going to ride at Blue Diamond on Saturday and then hit Budds Creek on Sunday.

[seatec]

Originally posted by Ericthered rdr

Seatec I got some new goodies today too:devil:

did you get your shocks?

get this. my wife is actually reasoning with me that i should get another yfz so i can set one up for mx and the other for xc. man i lover my gal.

[Ericthered rdr]

I got the rear shock, just tracked the fronts and they should be here on friday. I got the shock relocator today for the front.

Hey does your wife have a single sister because I want to trade mine in for one that lets me buy quads and stuff like you do. Allthough I do have 4 kids so I guess as long as they have all the toys they want I am just as happy.

[seatec]

trust me. you do not want her sister. i got the pick of the litter. hehe.

anywa. i just talked to my neighbor and he said they are also cracking dowen on riding at sugar hill. he thinks so anyway. truth to this you think?

[Honda5]

deleware I might be interested in those old tires I'm working on Gilberts old 250r trying to get it in good enough shape for a back-up bike but they will have to be cheap the wife cut off all the extra spending now that we got the camper.(but I did get my dominator axle ;) )

[seatec]

dave, you are spoiled rotten.:D im jealous

[Ericthered rdr]

not to sure how they can crack down on anyone for riding on legal private propety???

I went there today and nothing looked like it had changed. I guess there is only one way to find out and that is to go there on Satuday and see if people are still riding. If there is a proble the guy that lives there would stop anyone before they could get the ride off of there truck.

[seatec]

Eric, thats good enough for me. i might join with a friend. hes got a recon.

[greghall]

Man guys,dont tell me the cops might show up,new bike dont want to get a ticket or anything like that I was there at sugar hill sat. & sun. checking it out looked like alot of teenage kids riding there every thing looked cool but Ishould of gone back sunday late afternoon to check,hope its cool sat.Ill get there at 9 am to check it out.

[Ericthered rdr]

when you get there go down the hill and into the middle turn right and follow that to the red clay hill and there is an enterance on the left hand side into the woods, go in about 75 yards and turn right go about 100 yards turn left follow the loop that is about 1.5 miles long. It should be tough near the stream so expect to get dirty. All I can say is try to find somebody that knows the trails so that you dont get discouraged. You will really like those Rzr2's there (you will need them)

So what are the plans for Sunday I want to take my boys out. I want them to get some time in so if anyone wants to go to the landing or rausch let me know. I just need somewhere kid friendly. What are you doing Seatec, D&B, others?

[Honda5]

eric if you want to save some money but let the kids ride you are welcome to ride here It' s not real big(about the size of eastons beginner track)but every one that rides here seems to like it and it wont cost you $33 a person.

[Ericthered rdr]

hmmm lets see $33x 3=$99 or a free day at the D&B Ranch...ok I am sold!! I'll get in touch with you later and work out the details. Got to go to work now. I'll send a pm tonight. I appriceate this.

Eric

[seatec]

Guys, right now i don't have a clue where and when i am going to ride. I will see how things develope tomorrow.

Anthony

[kwatts400]

I'll be riding at my friends house outside of middletown, de on sat. morning. I put a 39mm carb on my 250r and need to get it tuned in, so I'll have to ride that.

[seatec]

Man, i hope that as we get into the better weather zone we can setup another big meeting. it was realtively easy the first time since we were all dying to ride anyway.

[YLW400]

Budds Creek is calling all of your names for Sunday:D

[seatec]

Dude, dont tempt me. i could order the kill switch overnight.
If i pay for D7 at the track, how can they expect me to have a number already? is it an absolute necessity? i could just call out my name everytimg i pass the finish line.

[Honda5]

seatec what do you mean each time you cross the line do you plan on running more then one lap? HAHA! just kidding.

[seatec]

Ouch. that hurt:( :D
if i were to race i would try to do 2 laps at least. i,d wait for j.c. to come by and block him :devil:

[cletusEX]

I raced a D-7 mx race at Tomahawk last fall and I just made up a number because I didn't have a mx card. Actually I just used electrical tape to make numbers on the fenders and nose. :D I think as long as you have a different number than anyone else and you can be identifed by it, no one cares.

[seatec]

Sounds like my kind of numbering. For now anyway.

[YLW400]

It's a big track, to block me, you'll have to lie down in the middle of it, and put your quad out there sideways:D lol

You could at least come spectate...lol Thats tough though...spectate, or go riding...hmmm..lol

[seatec]

I just spread my arms and that is that. lol. i can envision me lying there with track marks over me. lol

I definately want to ride but where i dotn know yet. what i should do is practice for the Easton race.

[YLW400]

I'll keep the front end light when I go over you...lol


Going to Easton would be your best bet....Get in touch with D-7 to get your number, and you will be set for next weekend!!

[seatec]

who exactly did you email for that. did you pay over the phone or just sent in the form. i know you said before but im to lazy to look.
ALso, the D7 card is good for HS and MX right? or do they want an extra 3 dollars?

[Mxjunkie]

Some1 told me maryland n delaware are trying to get quads out lawed or something, any of you hear about this?

[Ericthered rdr]

I think that is the law that there are going to pass after they legalize Marjauanna:rolleyes:

[RTSE440]

Thanks for the concern. :) Gettin there!

Might even be able to ride on Sunday.....but now it looks like Seatec and I will be doing The Landing. If I'm sick, he might be able to pass me .....j/k :D

[seatec]

bring it on boy. dont be suprised if i resort to full contact measures though. lol

[Honda5]

seatec look this up www.thorca.com becky says you need the fury tahoe Idont care which one you get as long as you get one and go to the sand dunes in Mi. in july and I'll even loan you a quad for your lady

[seatec]

[Honda5]

looks good tell them to put a t-tag on it and take it home

[Ericthered rdr]

looks like I sold the x machine in one day wowww!!!!!
mabey I should have asked for more money but he is family....

looks like I am going to be the embaraced owner of a craptor:blah:

[seatec]

hey, a raptor can be a formidable weapon if tuned right. lotsa power

[YLW400]

Congrats Eric:D

No Seatec, I did it through the mail.....I think your best bet would be to just get your D-7 at Easton next weekend so you don't have to worry about it getting to you...

[seatec]

will do YLW. btw. got my kill switch in today. easy install.
My baby is ready to rock. hehe. Boy, that was corny.:rolleyes:

[seatec]

Well, i just got some bad news. My wifes Tacoma that was in an accident a month ago has a bent frame. They worked on it for afriggin month supposedly waiting for parts and now that we were getting it back they say the frame is bent. i am pissed. we only had the truck for a year so if they declare it totaled i am screwed. worst case scenario. i wont be getting a toybox this year.

:grr:

[YLW400]

:( Damn dude...sorry.

[seatec]

Nah dont be. ill work it out. i always do. hehe. just needed to vent for a sec. im back on my A game.:D

[YLW400]

:D Cool. Just bad luck I guess.. You hittin' Easton tomorrow?

[seatec]

Probably sunday with RTSE440 he is feeling better.
What are you doing? prepping for the race on sunday?

[YLW400]

Did I meet RTSE? Whats wrong with him?

Yea, tomorrow I'll pack the truck up so all I gotta do it get in a drive Sunday morning.. Thats an early one.We usually leave here around 6.

[seatec]

I think you at least saw RTSE440 (Chris) he has a blue YFZ and black Dodge Truck. Yeah six is pretty early for a weekend.

[YLW400]

I may have briefly..6 is early for anytime!! lol I am usually still up drinking beer at that time..lmao

[seatec]

hehe, not me dude. im go to sleep by 11. im old

[YLW400]

Actually I am kidding too..lol no later than 11 for me as well...

[seatec]

yeah sure!!!!!!:D

[seatec]

JC. I got the Pro Design kill switch. its suppose toi be mounted on the handle bar but mine dont have that much room left and the middle part ios to fat for the switch. how did you mount yours? got a pic?

[Honda5]

Seatec-sorry to hear about your wife's vehicle but you are still welcome to stay with us in the camper if we go anywhere.

Eric-are you still coming out to the D&B Ranch on Sunday to ride with your kids? Track is good and it is suppose to be 60 degrees!
Just pm us and we'll give directions.

Becky

[Ericthered rdr]

Well today was a waste... no raptor for me. The dude sold it out from under me so I am looking for a ride. I still have the x but my cousin will probly get it on Sunday. I might not do the deal until I find another quad.

Hey Dave how much for the Ex I'll let Becky borrow it for a week in MI.


Hey I stopped by Sugar hill today and it looks like it dried out rel good.

[seatec]

Sorry to hear about the rappy. that sux man. hope you get a ride soon.

[YLW400]

Seatec, I have renthals so mine mouted between the handlebar mounts....

[seatec]

Never mind JC. got i set up.Even got the cycra hand guards to fit. it's a miracle. im all ready to ride. Easton here i come. even

[seatec]

well, pgregg. lets hear it, how did it go?

[kellam]

hey dudes my computer broke seems like i missed some stuff. well if anyones intrested me and my buddies are riding off of 95 in p.g. tommorow. ill be checking the message board. so just just post and we will set something up

[greghall]

got to sugar hill at around nine my buddy was there to on his no body was even there yet so just rode the pit a little bit,man that bike has balls but first gear is way to tall had to clutch it way to much I was use to my 400Ex it was like a tractor that the way I like the power to be in first gear,rode there awile then whent in the woods to checkout the trails they were real muddy but they look real tight & challenging in spots wish I knew the traisl to find a loop,but the tall gearing was real aggervating me IT HAS TO BE CHANGED FOR TIGHT WOODS I will have a smaller front sproket on it befor I ride nexst timehope to hook up with somebody who knows the trails there.Only rode for 2 hours & had to go home kkids were calling.Only a few people were there when I left.

[seatec]

you think its got power ow. wait until you got a good pipe on it and jetted right. oh yeahhhh. glad you like it. how about comming to easton tomorrow?:D

[greghall]

Sorry guys cant ride tommow Party to go to for my wife.Yeah Ill get the HRC kit first. That gear has to be changed for me befor I ride it again,I think its geared for MX .

[Ericthered rdr]

Greg the loop there is cool and is very tight. I stopped by on the way home from work hoping to catch you there. when I got there a guy was unloading his 450r and said he had put a smaller front sprocket on and it made a world of difference. I will show you the track as soon as I find another ride, after tommorrow I am quadless...which is a good thing since I will be getting something better then I had.......to be continued

Eric

[greghall]

Cool Eric hope to ride agian soon that place looks very good for the riding that I like to do,just hope it dries out some more & the people that ride there dont mess it up for everybody because that"s what happens to most riding spots I have found.

[Honda5]

ok lets hear how the riding went today.Del152 ,ylw400 how was budds? seatec how was easton? If you guys dont reply I'll know you guys must have some bad injuries and they won't let you use the computer in the hospital. LOL Hope everybody is did fine and nobody got hurt. D&B

[seatec]

Hey D&B, riding in easton was awesome. very packed though.
They had to water around noon because i felt like i was in a mad max movie with all the dust and engines roaring,

it was a blast but it also made me realise that i am no were near ready for a moto.

WHat have you been doing today?

[Honda5]

Seatec-we have been working on a RV Port to put our new vacation home in. We have also rode our track both days since it was so nice. Why do you say you don't think your ready for a moto yet? D&B

[seatec]

My stamina is not enough to keep riding a whole moto. i'd be a liability on the track.Dont want to endanger myself or others.

[Ericthered rdr]

well it is official I sold the x machine, now I need a new ride so keep your eyes open for a good deal. I did get to ride today at my uncles place in Baltimore. I tore up his KX250 all day long:devil: what a beautiful day. my kids had a blast and that made my day. I really wanted to go to the D&B ranch but I had to get rid of the x machine while I had a buyer. I think my cousin got a good deal. Oh well I am going shopping online for a new toy


C-YA

[seatec]

cool you got to ride something. ill keep my eyes open, whate are you looking for?

[Ericthered rdr]

I am looking for a Bill Ballance replica for about ahhhh....$2500:blah:

I am looking for a Ex or Z that is not set up for MX. XC is my style. I don't want a fix me up, I just unloaded one. I want a turnkey quad that was taken care of, and it is easy for me to tell if it has. I am the kinda guy who canges the oil after ever ride. That is what I am looking for. I saw a perfect ex on here that a guy was selling in the south. He was a middle aged guy who just putted around on it and wanted to sell it because it was too fast. If I can find something like that around here it will be in my garage.

Eric the quadless


hey my four year old (turn 5 tommorrow) was ripping doughnuts on his fourwheeler today. It was awsome to see him go!!!!

Tommy G. future GNCC champ 2021

[greghall]

Eric,you should find something for that price but you will have to look most EX's run from $2800 to $3000 + thats what I was going to buy till I got a killer deal on my 450R, stick with a HONDA.

[YLW400]

Sounds like you had a good eide over at Easton Seatec...

All went well at Budds, noone got hurt, so that was good. Delaware had somw bike problems though. I was on the gate when they were racing, so I didn't get to see any of it:( From what I heard over the PA, it sounded like an awesome race though. I finally got my first win yesterday, I took a 2nd in the first moto, and a 1st in the 2nd for an overall of 1st, so that was really awesome. There were 34 in C class:eek2: we ran two divisions on 17....It seems like it is really growing around here........

[Ericthered rdr]

congrats JC that is a great way to start the year.

So tell us how did they let you in the pee wee division anyway???:devil: :devil: :blah: :blah: :blah: :devil: :devil:

[checkster]

heres a couple in MD Eric. maybe you could get a good deal.

Eric

[checkster]

COOL If I run accross anything I will let you know.

check

[checkster]

You know Eric, I just thought of something. I was up Newport cycles a few weeks ago and they had a couple used 400Ex's if I remember correctly. They are like 2 minutes from your house. Have you checked there?

check

[seatec]

Good luck in the QUad Hunt Eric.

Congratz to you J.C. Thats awesome you won. did you sail over all the doubles? how many laps do you generally get in on a 20 in moto?

[YLW400]

Eric, it was quite easy to run peewee actually,:o I just registered while on my knees, and had some hot chick behind of me pretend she was my mommy to sign for me:devil:

I didn't do too much sailing Seatec..lol I know the one table top sent you real high though! I ALMOST cleared it one time, but my rearend hit and almost sent me over the bars, so I opted to just clear it like 3/4's of the way and jump off of the last portion of it. They really don't go for a time limit Seatec, it's mainly laps. Yesterday I "think" we went either 2 1/2 or 3 1/2 laps..Don't quote me on that though......I just keep riding until I see a checkered flag...lol

[seatec]

Did she Breast feed you after? Oh i am so bad!! Sorry. :devil:

Anyway, so how is the track and did it take a lot out of you?
Compare the track to the easton intermediate.

[Honda5]

way to go jc this means you need to go to "B" class now. Eric the z I saw in the classified is gone but keep an eye on www.theguide.com this is down my way and they have some good deals sometimes. Yes how was the mommy milk jc ?

[YLW400]

I tried to, but she smacked me:confused: I don't understand..lol

It was rough, decent amount of braking bumps....It isn't as tight and technical as Easton, so there are areas where you are just rippin' and holding on, whereas Easton, you are constantly turning or jumping or something. Budds is my favorite track I Would say. I did get tired at the end, but I think I could of went another 1, maybe even 2 hard laps....

[YLW400]

no B class till next year...lol Yea, the guide is cool, I am always looking at that thing... I didn't get a chance to try it, she smacked me:(

[seatec]

THanx for the info on BUdds track. looks liek thy never have practice so if i dont race i wont get to ride it.

BTW, how does Rausch creek sound next weekend? am dying to run amock on the Natural terrain track for a little bit. wanna try to make that step step up the proper way. i once landed on the top of it by pure accident but never was able to re-produce it.
Well, wadda ya say guys? Hope fully Eric will have a quad by then or he can take turns on mine.

[YLW400]

Whens the next Race at BUdds? Never mind. It's the 13th and 14th of this month.



SO budds like the the old school MX. big and wide open with some minor jumps.

What tires are you running on the back? Size wheel and tire?
I again had trouble braking the RAZR II loose at easton. that really suck cause im doing bicycles through the turns.

[pgregg131]

My weekend of riding wasnt that geat. First of all Blue Diamond sucks, I drove all the way up there and didnt even ride due to the poor quad track and crazy prices. I drove back home and then headed to Budds for yesterdays race. I got a bad start in the first moto and finshed 9th. The second moto I crashed and spent the rest of the evening in the hospital with a busted knee and a broken nose. I should have just stayed home this weekend.

[YLW400]

damn dude, are you ok now?? I had no idea, I didn't even know where you, or JT were parked at. That sucks... You going to able to run the national next weekend??

[pgregg131]

No Im not going to Florida now I am getting ready to goto the doctors to see if I have to get my knee operated on and then I have to go tomorrow to get my nose fixed.

[YLW400]

Man, that sucks......What did you do to your knee? I think my miniscus is torn from a crash over at Seaford....Keep me posted man...

[seatec]

Sorry to hear you got hurt dude. hope your knee is alright. The broken nose will give you Character;)


I forgot to mention that they took somebody out in an ambulance last Sunday at The Landing. just lights, no sirene so couldnt have been that bad unless the person was dead of course.
:confused:

Hearing about all of your crashes makes me not want to do MX.
Scary stuff. most of it happens during jumping right?

[Delaware152]

Paul..I thought my weekend was bad but it sounds like it wasn't as bad as yours. Tonight I will be taking both motors out with hopes of getting one running for this weekend. I am getting fast at taking these motors out. Let me know what the doctor says hopefully you won't need the knife.

[seatec]

THats exactly what i am thinking. Although i like jumping (a few feet of the ground) i do see how you can seriously F'ed up doing it. Don't think i am brave enough for that.

[YLW400]

it can happen in any race, just quads are a little more apt to get tires hung up with each other.......I would rather have a little roll over then smack a tree going wfo in 4th gear

[greghall]

I no alot of people who got hurt doing MX just minor injuries in HS If I did MX Im sure I would have been hurt alot more,I only basicly wrecked twice hard enough to put me out of a race,one of those times was on the budds MX track off of the big mountain dew jump.That was in 3 years of racing.

[YLW400]

I am not going to say how INfrequently I have gotten hurt, I don't want to jinx myself...lol:o :D

[pgregg131]

The crash had nothing to do with jumping, I took a bad line to make a pass and hit a deep hole sending my bike end over end. The doctor said my knee is just severly bruised and swollen. It will probally take at least a week or two before I can walk on it. At least no cast and no surgery.

[seatec]

I guess you can get hurt doing anything on a quad.
If i really think back i see how plenty of people got hurt doing GNCC and Xc in general.

[YLW400]

Thank god nothing is torn or anything man, you never heal from that stuff.....I was supposed to get an MRI on my knee and never went back. All it takes is a sudden twist and I about drop...

[seatec]

Must be pretty scary if your work depends on you being mobile.
It's a little easier for a desk jockey but if you have to run around all day it could really hurt your career i guess.


Anyway, any takers for Rausch Creek next weekend?

[kwatts400]

If the weather is nice, I think I might be able to talk a few friends into rausch creek on Sunday. I haven't been there yet but I here it is a good place to ride.

[seatec]

it's pretty cool. they have an advance quad track and a mixed intermediate track thats pretty long. and has a variety of small jumps. They also have a lot of woods to ride in if you are into that. Warning. Its very rocky in the woods so don't bust a tire or bend a rim. Other than that and being a 2 1/2 hour trip for me it's a pretty nice place to ride.

[kwatts400]

I forgot to mention that I got to ride a little Saturday morning at a friends house. It had some small hills, powerline trails, & an open field to drag race a little. I took the 250r so that I could jet the carb, but Butch at B & B seemed to have it set up perfect (I didn't have to change a thing). That bike runs awesome now with the 39mm kiehin on it! The 400ex shocks on the front made a big difference too. If I make it to Rausch this coming Sunday, it will be a full day for the 450r.

[seatec]

cool. glad your happy with your setup

[cletusEX]

I would love to go to Rausch, but I don't think I'm going to have my bike ready in time. I heard the woods trails up there are awesome. Maybe next time.

[Ericthered rdr]

I saw the EX at newport('00-$2,800). John said he would cut me a good deal since I bought my boys bikes from him. I am really interested in one..its a z with kfx plastic on it. I just need to get the xtra $ for it, might take a couple of weeks.

Well I am having fun shopping but I would rather be riding.

pgregg hope you heal up soon I have crushed my nose before and it is no fun. I must say if there was no chance of injury I am not sure any of us would be in this sport. Avoiding injury is part of the challenge. Some days you win some days you loose. I talked to a guy who shattered his leg at Easton last year and from his story it made me think about how bad things can get. I just hope when my turn comes it isnt to bad this time. My last wreck put me in the hospital for a couple of days.

[Honda5]

I can't go this weekend:(

[seatec]

Why can't you go?

Eric, im confused now. Are you looking at a EX or a Z?

[YLW400]

you can't go?

Is anyone coming to Easton this weekend?

Eric, that guy wouldn't be a Tom from New Jersey would it? I had that guy meet me there last year with his R, and first lap out he hit a table top and the quad rolled on him breaking his leg....

[Ericthered rdr]

JC it was Tony from MD. it was a couple of days after Xmass. He said he just started walking without a cane last week. He also said he didn't remember anything besides unloading his quad and waking up and hearing a helicopter. I am hoping he can ride with us because he really seems like a nice guy. He is the one selling a LTZ 400 with brand new KFX plastic on it.


Seatec.... I am looking at two right now. One is a modded '01 EX for 3gs the other is a '03 Z/KFX convert with some goodies for 4800. I really want the KFX bad. I can't come up with the rest of the cash I need for it though untill a few weeks.

[seatec]

can he hold the quad for you if you put some money down? Make him put it in the shd though and not ride it if you do.

JC. we kind of had our hearts set on Rausch. isnt the race at easton this week?

[kwatts400]

Will you guys be at Rausch on Sat. or Sun?

[seatec]

Sunday!

[YLW400]

I am not sure if I know him or not Eric...but that sucks:( Good luck on the search though!!

Yea Seatec, Easton is this weekend

[pgregg131]

Its off to the knife on thursday for me.

[YLW400]

For what??

[seatec]

good luck with yer operation.

[Delaware152]

Paul...How long are you going to be out 6 to 8 weeks?

[Ericthered rdr]

this has got to be the best looking EX I have ever seen schaweeet! (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=6724&item=2464390641&sspagename=STRK%3AMEASE%3AIT)


Hey Paul I wish you a quik recovery. get well soon


Hey I am taking donations for the buy Eric a new quad fund feel free to send me as much as you can. :blah:

Eric

[Honda5]

pgregg good luck hope your back on your feet soon
eric it must be nice to be walking around with a big wad of cash telling people "I don't know if I want a EX or a Z or maybe a KFX"I would love to be you .
Seatec I think this will be my last busy weekend for a while(thank god).

[seatec]

good for you. next time you can come with us to seaford

[Ericthered rdr]

Wadd of cash?????
I am that little Italian man Meafundsalow!!! I have four kids and a wife that thinks my name ends in trump. I think she has every Longaberger basket ever made and I have to scrape pennies to get an old beat up quad. Naaaa I will get something nice. I just want to try to find the right deal. I think I have narrowed it down to two. I rode the Z today and was impressed but the EX is 800 cheaper. What to do.... what to do????

[Honda5]

buy them both!
buy them both!
buy them both!
buy them both!
that is from your cheering section at the D&B ranch:)

[Ericthered rdr]

LMAO
when I grow up I want to be rich like you guys so that I can buy both:blah: :devil:

[seatec]

As D&B already mentioned, we are not rich, we have bigger payment books:blah:

[chucked]

Hey guys I just saw this thread, I ride at mohrs lane, allendar road, green valley, black hill.... Green valley and mohrs lane is only a matter of time till they're gone. Ane people call the cops whenever I go to allendar road.

[Ericthered rdr]

Hey chucked since I am looking to buy a quad you should just give yours to me since Baltimore County PD is going to take it away from you:blah: J/K

you should try going to one of the tracks with us when we go. I am hoping to have mine before everyone heads up to Rausch.

[seatec]

Eric, you got a lead on one?

[chucked]

yea right, police have pulled guns on me before, its ****ed up because i have permission to ride there, but the first time they m ade me get a tag and i got it. Can they point a gun at me??

[Honda5]

thanx for the race info

[Ericthered rdr]

trust me I know what it is like to be in debt!!! that is why I haven't just gone out and bought a new one. plus my wife is the kind that if I buy something she has to get something too. So if I go and buy a new one it is going to be hard to fudge the numbers. :devil:

[Honda5]

ok here is how you do it eric, you find the bike you want then you find a quad for her,(lets say a z250 or a 250ex) then you talk it up real big, like shaft drive this means no messy chain to mess with, auto clutch, 22 inch tires for smooth ride then you have a quad your boys can grow into and you get your quad!(you can tell I think about this alot)

[checkster]

or you can do what I did. pull up in the driveway and say "hey hun look what I bought"........LOL

[seatec]

yeah, and you also forget your wife reads this board. lol J/K

I cant wait to swing a leg over the quad again this weekend.

[checkster]

of course she does, but i wear the pants in the family! haha

ononymous

[Ericthered rdr]

man I would love to get my wife a quad but she would rather spend the money on other things like bigger......... well never mind.

Hey I knew a guy that lived in Hawthorne that the cops shot while he was trying to run from them I dont know if he tried to run them over but this is the truth my wife cuts his girl friends hair & knows his mom they shot him & he tried to sew them but he couldnt get anything out of it i thiunk he had a bad lawyer at the time THIS is the truth he did get shot.

[Ericthered rdr]

yup I did hear of that one
most of the damn quads in Hawthorne are stollen though.
too much bad blood between the cops and riders in Baltimore

[greghall]

Yeah I think it was stolen I had my bikes stolen lost $12,000 worth of EX & KTM never recovered no insurence my R is locked down like fort Knox & insured,Hey were are you guys going to ride sunday have to work sat. maybe ill go to sugar hill sunday morning.

[chucked]

u gotta see how mines held in my shed, I can give u the keys and I bet you will still never figure out how to get it unlocked. The only way they can steal it is if they are very quiet (baby monitors, im a light sleeper) and if the break through the wall, but thats why Im having a container delivered may 1st.
My neighbor is friends with Bill Duty which is all of balti. cty officers boss. I had him ask him if they can shoot at you and he said they cant even point a gun at you unless they feel their life is in danger. I know better now though. I always go by entrances in 1st gear so if they do decide to jump out I can jump across the tracks and get away. around here the only time cops come is if people are driving on the roads, or if they park their trucks on the street.

[seatec]

I know you guys heard the experssion before but damn man. Don't hey have anything better to do than to pick on quad riders?
There is so much bad crap going on like drugs and such that youd think they have their hands full but hey, i probably dont know enough about that stuff.

greg, why dont you load that R of yours up and come to Rausch with us? YOu really get to ride it there. Nice naturla terrain mx track and lots of woods to rip around in. If your not going to use it what it is intended to do then you might as well give it to Eric and get yourself a eton. :D Hey Dude, i am messing with ya.
It would be nice if you could come up with us though.

[checkster]

the police hassle us riders cause real criminals carry guns.......

donesnt matter if its hot rods, street bikes, or quads, the odds are in there favor more messing with us then say a drug dealer, bank robber, or just your basic low level scum. John Q. Public is less likely to pull a piece and shot back.........

anyways, let get back to talking about riding. banshee is almost together and I will be riding again in the next week or two......yippe! Did a new high comp top end, milled head, lightened flywheel, ported reed cages with carbon reeds, +3+1 arms, and shocks......cant wait

well it all starts with an old lady seeing us riding she goes "QUICK CALL 911 SOMEONES HAVING FUN!!!" and police have to respond to all calls received so it just goes on from there.

[chucked]

i gotta ride with you guys, 90% of the people I ride with only go out there to party. Anyone know Beerman??

[checkster]

Well that wont be me when im old. Hell, that would make me a total hypocrite. I have always promised myself id never yell at my kid for tearing up the grass, making noise, or any other bogus **** as I was once a kid to (still am….LOL) just trying to have some fun.

Although i know what you mean, still some of that is trying to instill discipline into your kids. i am sure you understand that.

It would be nice if you could come up with us though. Dude my old lady is about to drop our third kid so im stuck around locally:D But seriously when the baby gets here in a few weeks Ill be able to go to Rausch or Tower city & some Budds HS's.

[seatec]

Oh, forgot about that. Yeah, i can see how she woul want you around for that. hehe.
Your on for a HS at Budds. what class do you do again?

[greghall]

Me and my buddy cant wait to get to some district HS's & tear some chit up if I dont have a heart attack from being on the couch for two years:D

[seatec]

Hey, i hear ya. my biggest problem when riding (especially mx) is my arms and getting my ***** out of the seat before every jump. I can do a couple of laps and then my legs start giving out on me. Maybe thats because im oh 280 lbs clean on the hook.
Nahhhhh! :blah:

[greghall]

Im propley going to the B or if they chanched to a C class Ill run that if no body protests me but Ive been out for two full seasons so I think I can run any class I like,VET is really tough I dont think I can do well in it till I get some seat time.Also want to get in shape for the Wisp GNCC.

[checkster]

i know what you mean, still some of that is trying to instill discipline into your kids. i am sure you understand that. [/B]

DEFINATELY!

[checkster]

hell ive never raced before.........do they have an E class? haha

check

[seatec]

I was thinking about c 4-stroke open or something. What i like about HS is that you can just pull off when your tired and take a break. the race is so long. Wont be doing that in a moto.

At budds we try to park towards theleft in the corner where the trail comes out of the woods through a little berm and then goes back down in the woods. nice place to come out refuel and get back in.

Dont stop for nothing ,a 1 hour hs at Budds you can go without a gas fill up, keep a good pace up & dont make any mistakes & you will finish well,just finish your first race & you have accomplished something.

[seatec]

Well, i have finished my second race at budds on a bike.
CRF450 (http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/f1e6b0d2/bc/97ed/__sr_/13b0.jpg?phGwKSABvGGEDFdd) but i was dying.

that was a two hour ride though. why is quad only 1 hour? more strain?

[cletusEX]

The lowest class in D-7 is B class. There is usually a pretty good turn out. Why what till budds? The next D-7 HS is at Tomahawk on March 28th. You xc guys should definately come out. I'll be there with my brother and 2 more friends.

[seatec]

J.C. and Delaware. goodluck tomorrow at the race.
Eric, have a good time at Rausch. let us know how it went.

[kwatts400]

I heard rausch is still pretty muddy, I'm staying local tommorrow and takin the 450r down to a friends house. It will be the first "real" ride with the my new toy.

[Ericthered rdr]

went to Rausch today and we had a blast. best of all my boys rode all day long. they were so wiped out that when we left I was only on the road for 5 minutes and they were out cold. I really like the new toy. I can't wait to ride it again. lots of power..lots.
Rausch was awsome, tough ***** track. I just wish they would have taken 10 minutes to clean up the pee wee track today. Hell they spent hours grooming the MX tracks whats 10 minutes for our future riders. The other tracks were actually in very good shape considering how hard it rained over the past couple of days. Did anyone go to Easton? well I am trying to watch the Maryland game and get ready for the most awsome show on TV ever "The Saprano's". Hope everyone had an safe enjoyable weekend. Oh I wll talk to Seatec to see if he can post some pics for me.

C-ya

Eric

[chucked]

ive been riding around here since 8 o'clock,I got back around 7, took my 400 down to the car wash I work at and washed it for an hour. Its was awesome riding today, I gave a couple 450r's a run for their money..... yea right by the time i made it around the first lap they were already half a lap in front of me. Then a police chopper circled us for about 20 mins and left... never bothered us though.

[seatec]

this is what i was doing today. puts some graphics on. bad pic though.

[chucked]

awesome

[seatec]

thanx but i couldnt get th middle of the seat tight enough but i guess ots ok.

[checkster]

I always use a heat gun. It will soften and shrink the material for a nice snug fit. Give that a try.

[Ericthered rdr]

Anthony I have a lot of experience with upolstry. I re-did every stich of it in my '25 searay before I sold it. all I can tell you is the first time is a mthrfckr!!!!If you want me to give you a hand redoing it let me know. heat is your friend the thing is to know how much is not too much. Hey the kit looks awsome. if you want a profesional I do know some friends that have their own canvas shops. I was in the marine industry for a few years after I got out of the AF so I know most all of the shops around town. you are looking at an hours labor if you take it to a shop.

Chucked how come it is it takes an hour to wash a quad and only 1 minute to make it look like right before we washed them the last time. kinda piontless.....naaa they look soo good just sitting there all nice and shinny:D

you got that right, what i usually do i s wash it on sundays or mondays then all through the week I polish it and clean it little by little just enough to look good for the first hour of riding on friday or saturday.

[seatec]

Thanx for the advice everyone. Paul, i understand what your saying about the smooth plastic ripping but thats what came with the kit so i have no choice.

Eric, i have a heat gun as was contemplating using it on the cover but i didnt know how long and how much. I will take you up on the offer to help me out on this. Do you have a good stapler? i got one ofthose electric home depot staplers but its hard to get into the crevices sometimes. what do you need me to get to have you help me out with this?

[Ericthered rdr]

I probably have the same electric stapler. I think mine is an Arrow??? Give me a call later and we'll set something up.

[seatec]

will do.
My stapler is yellow and i think its the Arrow but am not sure. 14 amps or somethoing. I got most of it to fit pretty good although im a bit off center but where the seat curves p i have a few wrinkles. i got 6 and 12 mm staples (stainless).

Just FYI,
Chris (RTSE440) had a bit of an accident last Friday.
He took his YFZ for a spin on his land and went over this stupid jump he has in his back yard that has a mean little kick to it that can catch you off guard real easy. Well, the front dropped like a brick and plowed into the ground. he saved it by sliding way back and extending his arms but by doing that the impact went through his arm into his scapula and fractured it.
Lets wish him a speedy recovery.

He told me that when he was sitting in the wheel chair at in the Emergency room he was ready to sell his quad but i am happy to say that he came to his senses since then and is dying to ride again.

MOst important though. the quad is fine guys!!:devil:

[Ericthered rdr]

Chris you need to get better fast so I canmake you wish you never sold your Z when I leave you in my roost:devil: :blah: :devil:

At least you saved the blue beast:D



I wish you a speedy recovery bud......So how cheap would have you sold me that thing for?????:devil:

[greghall]

you guys need to stay off those jumps they will hurt you.Ride to woods & stay off the jumps :grr: just kidding hope he gets back to riding soon injuries really discourages you but hang in there.

[seatec]

Eric, Chris was muttering something about $5500 would've taken it. Dang, wish i was a ambulance chaser, would've had a cheap quad. lol
Greg, this issue sure has me thinking about how much i like soaring through the air and inevitable crash and break something.
Beside a bum knee most of my joints are in pretty good shape. I'd like to keep it that way. Truth is though, as YLW400 no doubt will point out, trees can cause serious damage too if you smack em at 50 mph.

oh well, will have to think about it but day-um, MX is so much fun!

[chucked]

I broke my ankle last summer on a jump. Since then I dont jump anything where I get only a few feet of air because if it happens again I'll have to sell the quad, cuz my mom said she aint gonna cover my *** again.

[seatec]

Dang, i hate it when mom's lay the law down. :D

[greghall]

Thats what I always say,I would limp in to work a many of mondays after a race but it was worth it.

Thanks for the well wishing. I must have jumped that same jump 5000 times. This one time....I blew it! Came in way too fast and didn't "blip" it enough off the lip. I was afraid I was going to give it too much, ( new HMF pipe on it), instead I did the opposite :rolleyes: . Now I got LOTS of free time on my hands. Like 4-6 weeks at least... Thank goodness for AFLAC insurance!!! :D

Great pics of you and the chillins. Looks like they had a blast!!

BTW....I'll be eating YOUR roost???? Well maybe. I'm gonna be taking it a little more careful from now on....( at first :devil: )

[Ericthered rdr]

lmao.... just hurry up and get better so we can have some fun.

I wish I would have taken some pics of the new ride with the Hipers on it. It looks very mean.

[chucked]

so where is sugar hill? Is this the place off of 543? Which way is it if im coming from 95 S (traveling north) whats it like up there.... etc...

[Honda5]

eric dont tell me you got hipers for your quad (sweet) i am still waiting for my 2 rears (on order from c&d sence november)

anybody want to go to seaford this weekend?

[seatec]

i might be in dave. whats that tack like compared to easton intermediate? is it doable for a cluts like me?

[Ericthered rdr]

Dave I bought them off here a few weeks ago with Razor 2's on 'em.I saw an awsome deal and jumped on it. I am glad I did because they are like new. $655 delivered

[kwatts400]

Looks like rausch was in good shape. I skipped out on it and stayed near home because I figured it would be pretty sloppy up there. Were the trails in good shape? O-well, I had a fun afternoon on Sunday. I found out what all the talk was about a smaller front sprocket on the 450r. ( 13 tooth on the way) It was alot of fun to drag race it against my friends 300r though.

Sorry to hear about the wreck RTSE440, hope you get well quick.

655 is an awesome deal for HIpers with tires.

Thats why I bought them. I didnt even have a quad to put them on but I heard how much they were new and how long you have to wait to get them so I did the deal. I got them from jeffro88 he was a great guy to deal with. now I might get some rings for them. not sure though. I want to buy so much for it but after spending over 5K in cash the past few weeks on stuff for quads I need to behave before my wife figures me out. plus I have to get the boat ready for the season. Anyone good at waxing I have a '27 boat that needs 3 coats of wax top to bottom. I'll even take you for a ride on it:devil: :blah: :devil:
