MARYLAND - anyone?

[RTSE440]

Thanks again everybody.

With ALL this free time I have now, I figured I'd show you a pic of the little jump that caused so much trouble.

And for Eric, I though I'd show you my Z400 that I sold to get the YFZ. I still miss that quad at times. It was a great machine and I know you'll be happy with yours. In the pic, you can see the Works Pro Series triple rate rezzie shocks that I bought to help with jumping. I ended up selling them apart from the 400. Man that thing was comfortable to ride.

[Delaware152]

I will be at Seaford this weekend along with a few other people. It is supposed to be a nice weekend.

[seatec]

Dela, will you be giving MX lessons? :p

[Delaware152]

Sure. How much you willing to pay. The only thing is my buddy that will be there makes me look slow. lol

[seatec]

Ill pay you two lug nuts (SS) and a piece of grip wire.:D

[YLW400]

Who makes you look slow there? Yea right..full of pooty.

[Delaware152]

YLW400..I was talking about you. At the rate you are going look out next year. 2 for 2 and 3 out of 4 moto's. Not a bad ratio!!

[pgregg85]

Ill come if you guys want to race wheel chairs

[YLW400]

lmao...I think I got a few more years and a heluva lot more seatime before I run with you Delaware:D No, it's not a bad ratio, but look who I am racing against;) lol

:o Pgregg, I've been know to run a chair or two in my day...I ain't scared to put ya' in the wall either!:macho

[seatec]

yeah right! lol

[Ericthered rdr]

Well I got good news and I got bad news.

the bad news is I cant ride for a couple of weeks.

The good news is I cant ride because I landed a huge contract for my side business. I would rather be riding but the money is just insane so I cant pass it up. If anyone has experience in electronics installations (car phones or stereo's) let me know if you are interested in working weekends. I am installing GPS tracking units and hands free car kits into a local bus company. I have over a hundred to do so let me know.

[seatec]

dang thats cool. what does it take to do that?

[Ericthered rdr]

Common sense, experience, and general 12vDC knowledge
not affraid to get dirty and work fast

[seatec]

well i got 2 oot of five. im not afraid to get dirty and work fast. lol
All i ever did was hook up two fog lights to a relay on my truck. and that was rough on me. congrats on the job and may the dineros rain on you.

[Honda5]

looks very clean. How much were those front shocks? they are on my list of things to get.

[YLW400]

Eric, you got a new quad??!!? Awesome man,a nd congrats!! I didn't realize it was you because i always look at the avatar pics, not the names...lol

[seatec]

Thats JC. Always on top of things and very observant too!:devil:

[YLW400]

I'm as sharp as a bowling ball:D

[Ericthered rdr]

lmao JC that is funny. Yup I got a new toy. Now its time to start building it. one thing that concerns me about it though is the reputation on cracked frames. I would like to have it gusseted and PC'd but there is no time for that now. I might just get a bolt in brace kit 'till this winter when I can do a tear down. I don't do those crazy 50' triples like you anyway so I should be allright.

[seatec]

triples??? Anybody say "Wendy's"??

Eric, i wouldnt worry dude, you don't catch monster air (i think) and you don't weigh in like a hippo like i do.

Believe it or not, I gottem off ebay for $400.00...used... ( new, the cheapest I could find was $699.00+shipping). They also fit the 400EX and 250R as well. They were triple rate, compression adjustable , with billet rezzies. Now here is the sweet part. When I sold the Z, I sold it with the stock shocks. I then re-sold the Works back on ebay...3 weeks later...for $186.00 MORE than I paid for them :D . For jumping, they were 1000% better than stock.

I wouldn't fret the frame cracking thing too much. Unless you're doing major jumping with some serious hard landings, I think you'll be fine. I questioned the service manager at my dealer about this and they hadn't gotten any frame failure warranty claims on this. If you see some paint starting to flake around the front shock mounts, that is normal. The frame is going to flex some . Now if you do upgrade the boingers, that will only help out with the frame issue. Those bottomed out landings are the culprit.

Congrats on the side business! I can smell that money from here!

[seatec]

Chris,
What did the Doc say?

I won't see the doc until tomorrow. I'll let you know. You know, that list of mods is pretty impressive once you see it all spelled out. I'll bet you didn't think it was going to be that long...:eek2:

Just wait until that +4 rear axel, +2 long travel arms, and custom Axis shocks are added to the list...:D Then we can add the Klaws front and rear for MXing too...YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!

[seatec]

yeah and ill be in the poor house. lol.

[RTSE440]

I think you ougt to just load up the quad, head over to East Coast ATV, hand'em a blank check, and let'em go crazy on it. C'mon.....you know you want to. It'll be awesome!!! Hey, you can't take it with you right? What's a little money to the half-brother of Paris and Nikki Hilton??:D Now the cat's out of the bag!

[seatec]

hmm inscest doesnt seem so bad right about now lol you are nuts dude:D

[YLW400]

You sure you ain't from my neck of the woods Seatec?:o WV?:devil:

[seatec]

ROFLMAO

now that you mention it. i thought i recognized you from that movie Deliverance. :rolleyes: :D

[YLW400]

you remember the banjo player?? It's funny what a little (or alot) of plastic surgey can do :p :D

[seatec]

surgery?? How about DNA recombination, Dude! :D

[Ericthered rdr]

hey what is the plan for Sunday? I might be able to go riding because the parts I need for this weekend are on back order.

Seatec you got more shyte on that thing then I thought. I am going to stop by MAC today and get Dan to order some goodies for me. I have a long way to go to catch up to you. Did you ever get your seat straightend out.

[seatec]

Yeah, i was a little shocked too when i typed up all the crap i have on my quad. Was asking myself if i needed it all and came to the conclusion that i didn't give a sh$t since i like putting stuff on.
Next is a re valve fro the shocks. thinking about the millennium re-valve from Santos but am not sure. TCS does a good job too i hear.

What are you ordering?

The seat is straightened out. i took it off. :D

Will think about what i want to do with it since i hear from a few people that the smooth sides always rip no matter how well they are put on and since i am heavier than the average rider i'd think that my seat will rip quickly. maybe ill just leave the stocker as it is and maybe later order a cools cover from cascade or something.

i don't now what to do for Sunday. i have a few tentative things on the agenda so its hard to plan. i would really like to get a good woods ride in but don't know where.

[greghall]

Let me know guys where you ride I may be on for a few hours of riding in the morning maybe Sugar Hill?

[Ericthered rdr]

[seatec]

sugar hill sounds fine with me. have a neighbor with a recon who wants to go out and trash aroudn a bit too. he is just worried that his quad can be impunded by the cops at sugar hill.

[greghall]

Hope the cops wont be there,Have you heard of anyone getting hasseled at Sugar Hill?I dont need any trouble from the cops.

[Delaware152]

Is anybody going to Seaford?

[seatec]

I am pretty sure that JC was going to hit Seaford this weekend.
Me, i have to stay local cause of some things i gotta be at.

I havent heard about the cops messing with people at sugar hill at all. Eric tells me its actually no problem at all riding at SH.

[YLW400]

No Seaford for me this weekend, I am going back to WV to do Christmas with my family...lol Maybe my mommy will buy me a new Honda or Yammi!!:D

[Honda5]

I'm still going to seaford but it looks like I might be by myself.

[seatec]

Maybe you can hook up with Delaware? how about easton next weekend?

[Honda5]

maybe i can get delaware to give me some lessons on how to ride. I don't know about next weekend yet.

[seatec]

Didnt look like you needed many lessons there buddy.

[YLW400]

He'll be fine if he stays off of the beginner MX track :eek: :p :D

[seatec]

OH YEAHHH, i forgot. lol. how are the ribs Dave? ;)

[YLW400]

I wonder if I can get my cam in next weekend (Saturday) and be riding on Sunday....hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[seatec]

Why not?

[greghall]

Looks like my buddy & me are going to Sugar Hill rd. sunday morning to get the second good ride on our 450R's,Hey Eric come on down & show us the woods loop you guys have back there,I had a hard time trying to find my way back there last time to many trails going every where.Want to try out the lower gearing & suspension adjustments I made too.

[seatec]

Ill be out there too with a buddy of mine. Eric going to be trail boss huh? Cool!

[Ericthered rdr]

Sorry guys but I have to work this weekend both days.
When you are there at S.H. just follow one of the guys you will find the way.

[redhondi400]

hey I live north of bel Air and I know of a few places to ride like grayson's track and cedar lane, but I was trying to find more that are legal. Hows that Sugar Hill? I have to talked to a few guys that rider there.

[Honda5]

ylw400 whats the problem with the cam ? it's only about a 2 hour job. if you need a hand I'll help you I know them 400s inside out I had to put a few new gears in my 400 about a year ago.

[Honda5]

by the way ha ha ha you guy's (seatec/jc) thats not funny.but my ribs are fine.

[greghall]

Sorry to hear that you cant make it Eric maybe nexst week,My buddy was at sugar hill for 3 hours today he found a good loop to run but he said it was a muddy mess hope to see you there seatec.SUNDAY!!

[seatec]

Sugar hill is not bad but hey its free! Whats cedar lane like. is that in Jarretsville?

[checkster]

did somebody say jarrettsville? tell me more, i live in jville!

check

[redhondi400]

Cedar Lane is in Bel Air where 136 and 543 meet. go south on 136 then make the first right. follow the road for about 2 miles the the jeep enterance will be on the left. It can cool be at times but the trucks tear it up pretty good. There are some cool hill climbs. There is not much more that is free in this area.

[checkster]

huh, never heard of it. have to check it out thanks

check

Ah I know where it is and it is a cool woods trail. I went there when it snowed with my truck and had a blast. My neighbor has a bad ***** jeep she (yes she) takes back there. I know a farmer owns it and his son lets people ride there but how does he feel about just anyone showing up? I would love to ride my quad through the woods there.

Did anyone hit S.H. yesterday. I might head there for a little while this morning with the kids. I am not working today so I figured I'd go riding w/the boys for a little while before it gets crowded.

[seatec]

im not going to make it today. something came up. have fun guys.

[Ericthered rdr]

I took the kids riding for awhile today at a small secret spot near my house. I wish I could have taken the new toy but I don't want to ruin the spot for the kids. When I grow up I am going to buy a house with property!! Did anybody have a good day of riding? I was home by 1pm to watch the Terps beat up on Duke. March madness is definatly here!

[chucked]

I went up to sugar Hill today and greg hall and his buddy showed me how slow I was. I left around 2 and went riding around here for awhile (I got permission to ride in a little spot back here)

[Honda5]

had a blast at seaford today the track was super sorry some of you couldn't make it deleware was giving lessons. (I had to take my lessons from a girl though I couldn't keep up with the restof the class.)

[Ericthered rdr]

If Greg hall didn't tell you who he was I'll let the cat out of the bag. From what I was told from the guy I bought my quad from he was a top ranked racer before some as$hole stole not one but two of his quads. Look out he is back with a 450r. I would like to see him ride. I heard he rocks!

Honda5 I would have liked to have joined you guys today but I thought I was going to have to work today and wasted a chance to ride. I probly wont get a chance to hook up for a few weeks if work keeps coming in the way it has. I saw your post for Silver lake. I would love to make that trip but I am shooting for a week at Hatfield Mcoy. Hell I have five weeks of vacation this year I just might have to see If I can pull it off.

Seatec you got any money leftover for a set of paddles?? remember D&B prommised a spot under the awning:devil:

[greghall]

Went to Sugar Hill around 9:30 this morning & didnt stop till around 1:30 the woods were great & the 450R was flying the 13T sproket made all the difference in the world & the adjustments were perfect on the shocks,I think I have my speed close to what it was when I quit racing but the stamina isnt there yet.I met Chucked off the board here ,& was waiting to see some of you other guys there but you didnt show may nexst week. Boy it sure got crowded when I left, the pit racers were in full force no body was in the woods, Good for for them because we were rolling today.Had a ball.

[greghall]

Yeah Eric it was my race ready 400Ex & brand new never riden KTM200EXC the was ripped off,it really took all my motovation out of wanting to ride but Im back into it & today I realized how much I missed it.

Glad you got your wings back!! Now I need a chance to get out to see you fly:D

[greghall]

would like to ride with you guys keep in touch,we'll ride those trails back at sugar hill I like those woods back there hope it lasts somebody said they are going to build houses back there.And also if the cops dont break it up there was alot of people there today.

[seatec]

greg sorry i missed you at SH last weekend. I really wanna check that place out but it just does not seem to work out for some reason. Are you planning on going next weekend?

BTW, how is the TRX doing?

[greghall]

seatec hope so,I have three flat tires, really ripped it up back there, those stock tires are good but dont hold up,got alot of bark stuck in my beads in the front & have to dismount & clean them up for nexst week,its pretty cool in the woods but its not to big ,maybe 1 or 1 1/2 miles a loop could make it bigger if we connect some of the trails.

[seatec]

Yeah i kow what you mean with the bark stuck in the bead. thats why i went to the beadlocks. Less chance of that stuff happening.

[chucked]

You still want that sprocket?? its sitting right here, lonely, waiting for someone to buy it. :)

[greghall]

My buddy richie said he may get it how much did you say?

[Honda5]

the offer still stands for a place under the awning if you want to go to silver lake. but you might be more comfortable in a cabin or in a nice toy hauler hooked to a big chevy duramax! If any of you guys are interested let me know it is a trip you won't forget. You dont need paddle tires but it does help.

[slow moto]

where are we going to ride this weekend honda 5

Wish i could, but it doesnt look good for me. Take lotsa pics for us fot the drooling effect.

[YLW400]

Anyone up for riding this weekend?

[Delaware152]

YLW400- I am planning on going to Seaford. I think Paul is planning on coming down also. Where are you going. The dirtbikes may not want me riding with them ever again after last weekend.

[seatec]

I still want to see seaford so that would be ok for me!

[YLW400]

Delaware,Delaware.......what did we tell you about being mean to the dirt bike riders???

I'm down for anywhere!!

[seatec]

I'd like to see an mx track that doesnt have som many damn turns so close to each other.

[YLW400]

Seaford is better than Easton in that respect.........in all respects actually! lol

[seatec]

Then why the hell are we going to easton all the time????:confused:

[YLW400]

I've only been there once with you all:blah: lol

[seatec]

Good point now! Well, if nothing gets in the way, i either go to seaford or Sugar Hill next weekend.
I feel like i have a split personality. One wants to do MX and the other XC. Arghhh!!

Makes it tought to revalve shocks. what do i revalve them for?
I need a second quad for sure now.:D

[Delaware152]

YLW400- It wasn't my fault. Donnie and I were in a contest of how could take out the most. I ended up arguing with one he took out. lol. It is supposed to rain Friday so you know what Easton will be like.

[YLW400]

Seatec, I am sure that means you need a quad for MX, and one for woods...lol Get another one ;) lol Make it a Honda so I can ride that one too...lol

Delaware, that sounds like it was a group effort between you and Donnie...Do us quadriders really need to give ourselves a worse reputation?:o :D Yea, Easton will be a poop hole

[Delaware152]

They were slow. All they had to do was move over and they were trying to put block passes on us. Who do you think was going to win that one? I think Honda5 witnessed when it happened.

[YLW400]

Not enough quads for your own class? Were you running the 100CC and below class again?:blah:

[greghall]

I have a set of maxxis AllTracs 22-11x9 will sell cheap plenty of tread left only one plug,holds air fine $30. for the pair.they are awsome mudd tires.Also Sugar Hill looks like a go again this weekend.

[seatec]

Bikes trying to put a block pass on quads? :D That probably was amusing to see!

[YLW400]

Some of those guys are doe doe's anyway when it comes to quads. DO they not realize that a quad weighs twice as much as their little motorbikes?:o :D

[seatec]

Duh! Whether or not they admit it but some "some" of them look down on quad riders. (no flaming here. i said "some" of them).
They say we ruin the trails because we have a larger foot print or something. oh well. i say "live and let live".

I was thinking about having my quad set up for XC and MX. i think that if i have a set of shocks and tires for both XC and MX i would pretty much be set, don't you think?

Since i have the hipers with RAZR II for XC i'd just use the stockers for MX and maybe later get a set of stock shocks for like 4 -500 and have them revalved. beats shelling out for another quad and all the Upgrades that go with it. It would be total overkill for my riding abilities anyway.

[pgregg85]

I have been know to "accidentally" take out a few dirt bikers myself, I might have found a skill I can win at:devil:

[Delaware152]

Yeah. All you have to do is just touch there front tire.

[Ericthered rdr]

Ahhh I see I am not the only one that has had this problem. When I was at Rausch a couple of weeks ago some guy on a Cr250 was trying to race me on the natural terrain track. He put a few moves on me in the jump section then we went into the woods and I roosted his ***** real bad and I thought to myself if you want to run with a quad expect to get twice the roost!!:macho :blah:

[seatec]

your a bad man eric, hehe

I know I asked this in the past...do they have a website???

[seatec]

JC gave it to me a while ago but cant find it right now.

[Ericthered rdr]

Seatec where did you get your PRM grab bar?? I went to their site but I was wondering if any of the big online stores sold it. (dicount,free shipping??)

I bought some nice new MSR system X riding gear today. Man I spent some dough today.

[seatec]

Good question. let me check. after a while it all becomes a blurr. hehe

[seatec]

nope, i bought it from prm. try the quadshop

[Ericthered rdr]

Originally posted by seatec

Cool I'll check with Jeff thanks.
If not it looks like I'll just get what I need from PRM direct. I really like the dessert grab bar and I remember seeing it on your quad.

thanks bud

[Honda5]

let me catch up with everyone

slow moto; I was going to stay local but it looks like we might need to go to seaford or maybe denton

eric ; do a search for middleford speedway i think you will find it

delaware 152 ; i saw 2 bikes go down because the got in the way of a quad and another crf250 went down inches in front of me and as i was running over his bike he grabbed my front bumper befor he went under (this was the guy who's bike I was hauling

seatec;buy them both!
buy them both!
buy them both!(If you don't get it ask eric)
p.s. "dont let money stand in the way of your happiness"
the words I live by

[Ericthered rdr]

I found the link to Middleford Speedway Seaford (http://www.middlefordspeedway.com/index.html) and like most all of the tracks their web sites are lacking. I need to start doing web site development for these guys. I think their business would pick up if they had better web sites...but who am I... just a computer geek!!!!

So what is the deal with this place? Are there any woods trails or is it all MX.

Do they have a beginers track like Easton?

Do they have a peewee track?

How much?

anyone with info??????? thanks

[Honda5]

eric $20 a day, no woods, no pee-wee, just one moto-x track, it won't be anything for your kids there.
slow moto can't go to seaford this weekend might have to ride at Duhamel+Cemetary

[seatec]

Honda5: Not letting money stand in the way of happiness is also my philosophy however, i try not to be a total dumbass about it and buy something i really dont need.
I am debating with myself right now if i should.

If i where to get another Quad i would set it up for MX since my current quad leans more towards XC already. i would transfer some parts to make the current quad full XC and then hop up the other quad for full mx.

BTW, Sorry YLW, if i where to buy a Honda , i would make that into the woods quad which wont help you any because of your Dendrophobia. :D

slow moto can't go to seaford this weekend might have to ride at Duhamel+Cemetary


Thanks for the info. 20 bucks is cheep. I wont be able to go there this weekend I have to work one of the days and have stupid B-day parties to go to. So I might hit one of the local spots for a couple of hours.

Seatec is your wife interested in riding because I would recommend seting the 450 up for MX and get a Z for the woods/wife. Kill two birds one stone. Are you up for S.H. on Sat? or Sun?

[seatec]

Eric,
The misses has as much interest in riding a quad as she has in pounding her thumb Whit a 5 pound hammer for an hour. I just got her a "another" high dollar sewing machines so she can do that "one special seam" when she is quilting. She does her thing and i do mine. For us it's a good thing to do separate things and the misses totally agrees with that. As i said before and i wasn't kidding, she kicks me out of the house in the weekends so she has some peace and quite from me!!!! Good for her and me.

Z400/KFX are awesome quads and the Reverse is nice but i must tell ya. i love this YFZ man. It would also be easier for parts and stuff. I am that guy who almost always orders the same kind of food in different Restaurants. Fajitas at Chilies and Ribs at the Outback. i stick with what i know. Just a simple guy.:D

As for where to ride. I am torn. Seaford or Sugar Hill. Damn. i feel as ambivalent as a squirrel on the road with a mack truck coming down on it. will i get to ride the Z?

[Ericthered rdr]

Hell its your for the day if you want:D

I totaly agree with your philosophy on the wife. I have the same arrangement with mine except instead of sewing she is into these damn expensive Longaberger baskets. I think the last she counted she has over 90 of them and the price for these damn things would blow your mind. I had to take a rider out on my homeowners! Sometimes it better to have different hobbies but not all of us can be as lucky as D&B they seem to have it pretty good:D

Now that I think of it I saw one in there a while back with their name on it....... I wonder if they pay contingency $ for having their name on it when I win the GNCC:macho :blah:

[RTSE440]

Eric.....Dirt First for PRM stuff is the way to go. Got all my YFZ skids there at or below any advertised prices I had seen in the mags....and NO SHIPPING charges. If Andy doesn't have it in stock, he can order it and have it in a day or two:) .

Seatec.....I know where you might be able to pick up another YFZ in the future:(...... Hope you like blue! I know, I know, it's a little faster than the white, but you'll get used to it..j/k:D

Thanks for the info. I sure hope that isn't your blue YFZ you are refering to. That is unless you plan on comine back to the "Z" side. so how is your progress coming with recovery? Are the nurses helping to massage the tender spots?? :blah: :devil: :blah:

I will except nothing less than an amputated arm for a reason to quit riding the quad.

As for the speed. You may be faster than me me but i am meaner than you.:devil:

Eric, i sure wouldn't mind kicking your Z around for a little bit at SH.

Chris, what are you doing for lunch? want me to swing by and bring some lunch? BTW, i ordered two of those block of plugs for the decomp hole. i had a dream last night that i blew the plug out and you noticed it so i got two. 1 for you as a reward for noticing. :D

[RTSE440]

Well..... It might be mine. I gotta wait and see the results of my MRI, ( looking for a torn rotator cuff), and my EMG, ( checking for damaged nerves), tests indicate. Either of the two come back showing significant damage, then I might have to get operated on:( . The doc is concerned cause I can't lift my arm up at the shoulder joint. He said even with the broken shoulder blade,(scapula), I should still be able to lift it. If either of the surguries(sp?), keep me out for more than 6 months, then the 450 goes. My disability insurance only lasts 6 months, and the house payments keep on comming!! I know that the rotator cuff would put me out that long. Now I won't know anything until next Thurs. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for asking:) .

Man this stinks. I keep going to all the quad sites and torturing myself. I was seriously considering trying my hand at some C class MX stuff. I love the MX tracks. Maybe I can take up quilting with Seatec's wife.....that's a safe sport. :rolleyes:

That AFLAC insurance is gonna take a beatin' from me!!!! It was worth EVERY penny!!!

[seatec]

Well i certainly hope all test will come out well. The Doctor does know your kind of a pu$$y and that why you cant lift your arm right?:D
No really. i hope all is well.

As for the quilting being safe. My wife does full contact quilting dude. Dangerous stuff.

So. Lunch????

[RTSE440]

I'd love to, but how about Thurs.? I got to go with the wife somewhere this afternoon...sorry.

You gotta be kidding about the dream thing...I swear, no lie, that I had a dream last night that we were riding over here at my area...crossed the street, and were heading up to where I took you to the trails that were overgrown and we couldn't get in...remember? Anyway, there was a buch of other people riding there and we got chased out. For some reason you couldn't get your quad started..you came rolling down the hill with the seat off . I was trying to help you , but some guys in a pick-up truck came after us. Not sure what happened after that...got kinda fuzzy. Hey maybe it was the plug??? MAN is that weird!!! I musta hit my head as well, during the accident:D .

[Ericthered rdr]

Chris,
I tore out my rotator cuff and my acl in an accident 13 years ago and I never had them fixed. I wish I would have had it done a long time ago. Now I am starting to realize I am not a kid any longer and have to get the surguries soon. I recommend that you wait until Nov to have the operation that way you don't miss out on any ride time. Hey if Ray Lewis and Peter Boulware can play football with a torn shoulder you can ride a quad. Just load up on Cortizone shots and Celebrex and you'll be fine. Plus you are still young... what 22,23 mabey even 21:blah: Whatever you decide I hope that you get throught his with as little pain as possible. What kind of work do you do? Good luck man and I hope my sarcazm doesn't offend you.

[seatec]

sarcasme doesnt offen chris. he doesnt catch on to it. lol

That is weird about the ream man. So you left me there to rot while a guy in a pickup truck crushed me, huh? Good Times.


BTW GUys,
While Chris is recovering he has volunteerd ti be our personal Camera Guy. with his still cam and my Mini Dvd Cam he can make some cool coverage for us.

[RTSE440]

Eric...No offense taken. Try 32:D . As for my job...it's blue collar all the way. I'm a steamfitter, ( industrial and commercial HVAC mechanic ). There is no "light duty" work unfortunately. I'll live with some pain to avoid being down too long. As long as at some point I can lift my arm over my head. Right now it just won't go. It's a little scary. Thanks for the concern....I appreciate it. ;)

[seatec]

My wife is an Rn and she sees this often that people with your kind of injurie have some nerves pinched but usually they recover.

Chris, you know you can call Steph any time and ask if you want to know something right?

[RTSE440]

Since I've been home I've got a question for you....How in the heck can you stand sitting on your ***** so long during the day. It's driving me crazy!! LOL No wonder that YFZ seat doesn't hurt your rear. You must have a permanent case of numb *****... :blah: :devil: :blah: :devil: LOL

Well I stayed there with you I think. The guy in the truck didn't want to crush you....The guys in the back of it wanted to beat you to a pulp!!:D Just keep your helmet on if that ever really happens...I'll go for help:D

[Ericthered rdr]

Steamfitter!!! yup I think that is not the job you call into and ask for light duty. Espeacially if you are part of the socialist union of the plumbers and steamfitters. My job is mostly computer/admin related (RF engineer for Nextel) but occasionaly I have to lift 80lbs
radio chassis 6' up into the radio racks. That is going to be almost impossible until I recover from surgury, but I have awsome insurance and I think I am ok for my recovery period. I just have to jack up my overtime before I go ahead with it so that my disability payout will be higher. You got to work the system right!?? I am puting surgury off till the late fall.

Hey Hye, no comments about my *****. i am touchy about that sorta thing.:D

To tell you the truth, its gets pretty tough sometimes trying to stay focused on the screen and not mess up a mail server migration or something. Each job has its challenges.

[RTSE440]

Card carrying member of Plumbers & Steamfitters Local #486.......Wouldn't have it any other way!!! Strength in numbers you know:) . They've always done me good. :D :D

Nextel...Now I know who to call when I can't get a signal..LOL

[seatec]

Chris,
How is Tucker? Pissed off i bet. lol.
When i put the harness on him he looked at me as if to say "ET TU Brute?"

[RTSE440]

It's all good! He's fine.;)

[Honda5]

Chris-Hopefully all will go well and you won't have to give up the quad. I'm a Union person also-Teamster Local 355. Ain't it great to have some backing?

Seatec & Eric-If you want to slip down this Sunday for a few hours of riding on our little track, you guys are welcomed, providing it is not too muddy! I can update track conditions, Friday or Saturday.

All my wife wants is quads, motorhome, and now a scooter. She hates Longaberger and has no clue on what a sewing machines is or even a needle and thread! I guess I'm lucky but than again I got seven shirts that are missing buttons!

[RTSE440]

LMAO that is funny

Well I am deffinatly out this weekend I got the parts I have been waiting for on this job I am doing and I will not be able to ride for a couple of weeks which sucks because I just bought a ton of stuff for the quad....skids, front and rear bars,kill switch, omf scoops, air filter and adapter, all new riding gear... man I was going to be big Pimpin as they say but I guess i'll have to wait now. Hell I dont even have any time to bolt this crap on.

[seatec]

What a sad existance Eric, haveing all the cool parts and no time to wrench. dang! Dave, i still havent decided if i want to do MX or just rip around the woods for a little bit. havent done that in a while now.

[greghall]

Everybody cant ride this weekend I was going back to sugar hill this weekend but maybe alone , my friend Richie I ride with is going to the GNCC this weekend & Im sure he wont want to ride Sunday,I might go anyway be myself.

[seatec]

Don't count me out just yet!

[greghall]

Let me know sat. or sunday,I get there around 9 AM to beat the crowd.

[seatec]

I think i might just do that too. ill bring a friend and we'll just have some good ole fun on the trails. Have to find the directions again that Eric gave me a while ago. Actually never been there.

I might be up this sunday, My little cousin will be with me though and Im not sure if he will be able to handle some of those little hills and such, hes only been riding since x-mas, but I might take him just for the hell of it.

I highly discourage you from taking a young kid to sugar hill. It is a cool free place to ride but it is not for the pee wee's unless you get there very early and Sunday is the worst day. It is very tight there and most of the big guys don't know to stay away from the kids. I had a bad experience there with my boys and I don't think I will be taking them back. If you do take him keep him very close. just my.02

actually that wasnt right, hes been riding dirt bikes since he was like 4 (he's 13 now) but he just got a quad, he can keep up fine in the trails but he doesnt like hills.

[Ericthered rdr]

13.....he will be fine!! its the kids 8 and under I would worry about.

[chucked]

yea hes a cool kid and he can hold his own on his lt160, whats funny is when i piss him off cuz he'll keep rear ending me, until I find a nice mud puddle.

Yeah Eric I know what you mean the pit racers are crazy somebody is going to get hurt there soon,I stayed back in the woods were nobody was because the trails are to challenging for novice riders they all like to pit race,I watched this one guy (idiot) on a YZF 450 dirt bike go on the dirt road turn around toward the pit & try to hit all the gears with crowds of people there.Its just a matter of time,Ill take my kids on a week day or very early.

unfortunately this is how places get closed down. I could tell a story about how my youngest boy got hurt there on his first day ever riding ,in the first 5 min by some a-hole but I don't feel like getting all p'd thinking about it. I have been taking my kids to a place in Hickory by my house and no one has bothered us. I just wish I could ride there with them, but with an e-series w/12 disk would have the cops there in no time. Hey is it true that the cops cant do anything if the motor is under 50cc. I see kids on these go-peds and electric scooters all over the place and I heard the cops cant do anything if it is under 50cc. just a stupid question.

Do you think Grayson has opened the gates yet?

man long day! I just got home from work and have to go back in 6am tommorrow. I think it is worth checking into graysons. If that fails try S.H. I will be thinking about riding while working sun up to sun down both days this weekend, and to make matters worse I stopped buy Dirt First this morning and picked up some more goodies. I hope you all have a good safe weekend of riding.

[seatec]

greg. ill be there at around 9. whats the easiest way from 152 mountain road?

[greghall]

Go down 152 to rt 40 cross over 40 go around 1/2 mile (or less). Sugar hill rd. will be on the right at the top of the first hill,there will be a old white garage with boats out front on the left across from sugar hill rd,thats how you know the turn is right there. turn right on to sugar hill & stay to the right on dirt road till you get to the pit, dont go in the pit there will be a small cut out on the right in the woods at the entrance to the pit ,a little past the house park there,the pit has alot of nails in it so Im going to stay out of it and in the woods,I had two nails in my R tires I had to plug,I think they came from the place right inside the pit where some jerk dumped a load of shingles.

[seatec]

cool. so if i understand correctly SH is of off 152?



got it. did a mapquest. no biggy. cya there around 9.

[greghall]

When you cross over RT.40 152 turns into Magnolia RD. its very easy to find you shoul'nt have any troubl its right there soon as you go accross 40 on the right at the top of the hill.

[seatec]

thanx gregg (is that your name?) ill see you there. im bringing a buddy with a recon but he can more that thing around pretty good.

[greghall]

Yeah Greg is my real name, see ya there tomorow may get back on the computer later to see if there's any more info. on todays GNCC

[seatec]

[seatec]

Got to ride his TRX and man are those suckers smooth. Cant wait to give it another go when he has the HCR kit on. that thing will kick but. Did learn that i have to turn my clickers way down. my QUAD was a pigo stick compared to Greg's. 6psi in the tires might be a smidgen high for the tires also. hehehe. Great riding with ya Greg.

[greghall]

Yeah it was fun I need more ower now that I rode your bike,I need the sound most of all. my bike should be just right when I pull some more power from it.Cant wait to ride tower city or Raucsh Creek,I think Im going to take a break nexst weekend & break out the credit card for some goodys stock is getting boring,Have to get with you guys & head to Budds for a HS.

[seatec]

yeah right more power so you run away even faster in the woods. hehe. Get some skids and well hit Rausch soon.

[greghall]

I like the power that your bike has,going to spend some money to get my power up to par with that YFZ:D

[seatec]

do the the kit and it will be right there. are you going to gear it back up when you do the kit?
I dont really want to go down 1 on the counter but two up on the axle but i have no space for it because of the prm skid.

[greghall]

I have to see haow it feels,proply go back to the 38T rear & keep the 13T front.

[seatec]

are you goin to do a +1 +1 steering stem too?

[greghall]

I wont replace that till I bend my stock one they are big bucks,I need handle bars,hand gaurds ,skids,tires,pipe,etc. that adds up real qiuck.

[Ericthered rdr]

sounds like you guys had fun at sugar hill. I want to go riding so bad but I am strapped down to work right now. I worked 30 hours this weekend. I am so burnt out it is not funny. Oh well at least now I will have money to pay for all the goodies I want. I will be working next weekend also but the week after that I would like to get everyone together for a ride somewhere. Well I have to get back out the door, another long day ahead .

I have a few hours to get some stuff done on Friday so I am going to work on it then, but I thank you for the offer even though it was a sarcastic one. I am actually looking forward to wrenching on the thing. But the way it looks I will be working both days this weekend. I only have have 37 out of 75 buses done so far so I have a lot of work ahead of me and I want to get it done so that I can get paid.

[seatec]

Hey, ill wrench dude. i love it. If you need some help let me know.
(not help because you cant do it but to be faster).
I also have the trail tech computer but don't know if i should mount it or not. i would need to buy a different magnetic bolt or glue on though. So you cheap ed out and got the conversion kit instead of the whole ehs lid huh?:devil:

[YLW400]

As of now Delaware, I am on.........I am putting my cam in on Saturday........As long as everything goes well, I will be there..Anymore takers?

As my 14 yo daughter would say..... AS IF..........like you weren't fast enough. you will be molesting the class you are in. I think you should move up to super pro so you feel a little less shame when you win by two laps at every race:macho :macho :blah: :devil:

Yeah, what he said! :D

Eric, if i where to sell it to you it wouldn't be for what i paid. it's not new anymore since i used it on the CRF450. It has a scratch on the plastic so.


BTW, i didn't see a kill switch in your parts list. You should get one because in GNCC its mandatory already and i think it will soon be in local D7 HS races as well.

Cletus, i kinda want to do the HS at TH but dont feel like going alone. If my buddy didnt get himself hurt on that stupid jump of his he could've come with me. hehe.:rolleyes:

Plus i also prmised a friend of mine to go riding at SH this weekend.

[cletusEX]

Yeah it sucks driving alone. I really don't need anymore of those 450's passing me anyways!:blah:

[seatec]

yeah righ!. the only thing i would be passing would be gas!:p

[Ericthered rdr]

it is on order. they were out of black and I am all about color cordination:D
the switch and my riding gear should be in on friday

[seatec]

great. lotsa goodies for you to open.

I should get a package on friday myself containing a complete set of stock shocks i picked up for cheap on ebay. I will have them revalved for XC by Santos and keep my original shocks for backup.

[YLW400]

Nah, now that you'll have the cam in, you will be intolerable

Ahhhh, come on Seatec....It's just a 400EX!!

Man guys Im dieing to get in a race but my wife is going to be induced this week so my baby will be here soon so I will be home bound for a week or two but that give sme time to get ready for the B class :D & see how the compition is this year.Would really like to get some points stacked up.

[cletusEX]

greghall, from what I've heard, the B class better get ready for you! You sure ya don't wanna run vet?:D j/k man, looking forword to meeting and racing with some new people. good luck fishing and maybe will meet at the next Budds.

[greghall]

Yeah I heard the VET class was pretty tough last year,Charles Coliflower took fouth for the year & he's a pretty fast guy he could beat me when I raced,So being out for 2 & 1/2 years Im going to break in myself in the B class,When I was racing they would only let me run the A or VET class because I finshed so well in the points the first full year,But im really rusty so I think most of the fast guys will be in A or VET,I think vet will be the fastest class this year it was always the most competive.I cant wait to try my new R at budds.

[cletusEX]

Yeah Coliflower had some bike problems last year. He actually raced a bone stock 400ex for a while when his R wasn't running. When his R is running right he flat out hauls . The top guys in every class are all pretty quick, so any class you pick will be competitive.

[greghall]

Did coliflower Quit racing ?I no he stopped GNCC,Im sure alot of people will have YFZ's or 450R's this year.Im hoping I can make the Blue & Gray race (I think I seen that on the schedule).

[seatec]

listen to you guys. B class this and Vet class that. i would be lucky to FINISH c class. hehe

[cletusEX]

Greg, I don't know, I haven't seen Coliflower at the last few races. There have been a lot of new faces at the first 2 races this year. Last year there was a group of 10-12 of us who all parked together, but some started racing more of the GNCC's and some gave up racing. Your right, ever race you see more and more 450's.

Seatec, you would do fine in B class. I'm not fast at all and I end up alright. You'd be amazed at how well you do if you run a clean race (not getting stuck or wrecking).

[seatec]

i dont know cletus. its not so much my riding but more my stamina or lack there off.

[greghall]

Yeah you know there is always new guys that show up I try to talk everybody I know that rides into trying it,because it is nothing like racing HS its so fun.More guys are racing GNCC you proply know Chuck Dunn,Jesse Way.Gabe Balazar,all those guys raced Dis. 7 when I was into it + all the Dirt First guys Andy always won & still does so that will never change:D

[greghall]

[seatec]

gregg, i heard that. i have a camelback. how much water do you drink before a race? do you take an asperin before the race too?

[greghall]

I try to drink 24oz. the day of the race But im going to try drinking alot 2 days before this time it really helps,Ive lost 3 to 7 pounds after a race & you seen me and thats alot for a skinny guy,I also felt so sick from dehydration after a tough race I got sick & almost passed out,but I woulnt Qiut its too fun.I did try asprin really didnt notice a difference,If its cold out it helps to if its hot its a Biiotch.,

[seatec]

im hearing you on getting dehydrated. when i did the budds HS when it was so hot i almost passed out on the bike. i cant remember the last 2 miles of the run. all i remember was sitting in the truck wiht the AC on full for half an hour. it was fun though.

[Honda5]

OH MY GOD, you won't guess what happened today??

Just a short 5 months and I finally got my rear Hipers! I hope the tires haven't dry rotted.

Can't make it anywhere this weekend, the wife, dog and me are taking the new RV out for its maiden voyage. Hope you all have fun riding. It 's suppose to be great weather!

D & B

[cletusEX]

Greg, yeah I know all those guys. I actually was out riding with Chucky 2 weeks ago. Both Chuck and Jesse are racing 4 stroke stock at the GNCC's and Gabe I heard isn't racing this year. I have almost as much fun meeting and bull@#$%ing with guys as I do racing. The whole atmosphere at a race is pretty awesome.

Yeah water is the key. Drinking water days in advance and keeping hydrated is a big help in a race. Also controlling your breathing helps with stamina. When I first started racing I would forget to breath from all the excitment. Keeping a relaxed grip and breathing helps save your energy.

[pgregg85]

If anyone is riding Saturday, I might goto Tomahawk or rausch creek for some good ol practice. If you guys race the blue grey race at Budds in a few weeks you will have the chance to try out big gulp on the mx track.

[Delaware152]

pgregg- I thought about Tomahak this weekend but I think there is a HS on Sunday. I didn't think they practice the weekend of a race. I am going to Easton on Sunday.

[seatec]

Dave,
Glad you finally got your Hipers. What size did you get?

Congrats on the Hipers

So where are you headed to with the camper? DO you camp easter weekend? I take my family to Jellystone campground every Easter. They love it and they even have an Adult easter beverage hunt. I rent a camper because we don't go enough to justify buying one yet. But mabey that will change in the next year.

Hey Greg we have to get together. I want to start racing some sort of HS or something I just want to stay away from MX. I know we can get Seatec in on it too. He cries the blues about being out of shape so much I just might have to start working out with him since he lives like less then 5 min from my house. Where are the next races in April I am open every weekend except Easter. My buddy Jim just raced up at the Flying Dutchmen a couple of weeks ago and he did not like the course at all. He said there were more rocks then dirt.

[YLW400]

Seatec...I fully hydrate myself on Coors Light the night prior to a race.....lol That might be an oxymoron...lol

Pgregg and Delaware.....you guys coming to Easton?

[seatec]

Yeah, i knew you did the Coors ritual. lol

Eric, Lets get to heavy riding at SH and other spots when your done with your install. i think i will go Sat and Sun to SH from now on barring any other events. thats should help get better with endurance. As for riding skill. Thats hopeless. I definately want to start doing HS all over the place.

BTW, what color code back grounds for different classes HS?

[greghall]

Eric,I hate MX too & the flying dutchman is like a real long MX race no trails just turning & small jumps but it was fun if you want to bump & grind with guyspassing is tough up there,I will start racing in a few weeks with the new baby coming & all that so it will be a little while.But I will let you know. All you can do to get ready is RIDE RIDE & RIDE some more thats the best practice & dont take to many breaks because you wont get a break in a race.

[seatec]

i promise i wont take any brakes Sir!. :D

I've been known to sit on the egde of the race fiddling with my quad pretending something is wrong just so i can get a breather. lol.
What ill try is to keep going through the woods at SH for an hour at a time. Not Balls to the wall but at a nice pace and see how i do.

[seatec]

Yeah like one did already. Remember you had to wait for me? Thats when i was hitting trees left and right. lol. not used to that tight stuff. It's good practice though.
You know whats alos fun? Running behind those trees up on the left in the main riding area. to bad some maroon could come the wrong way at any moment.:rolleyes:

[Ericthered rdr]

Greg so what is the first race that you are going to run. I want to get in a race but I will be starting off in the C class since it will be my first race. Who has the best HS track around.

Seatec I tell you the loop at SH is awsome because it is so tight. I really like going counter clockwise throught the loop and jumping over the creek at the bottom. You should try it at night during the week it is a blast. I took my buddy there on his dual sport and he wiped out into the pond in the dark while I was doing the loop. It took three guys about a half an hour to get it out of there. Now I always have rope in the truck!!!!

[greghall]

I dont know what race it will be but for me but for you Budds creek will be the best for your first race ,its not to tight & not that long but very fun,you'll be hooked after the first one . Discict 7 dont have a C class but you can run B trust me if you can finish the race you will not be last & proply do well.

[greghall]

Also you guys will need to buy a AMA card & dis. card that $39 for AMA & $20 for dis. 7 + entry $10 & $20(I think) to enter the race. The first time it costs some $$$.

[Ericthered rdr]

Not a problem with the cards. I think Seatec already has his I plan on getting mine the day of the race. My buddy did the HS at buds on that 60 deg day we had in January. He said that the couse went out onto the MX track and guys we litterally jumping over him. Wow!!! I wont be doing any crazy jumps till I get my frame Gussetted and new suspension under it.

[cletusEX]

At the hangover and blue-gray HS race at budds they incorporate the mx track, the woods loop, and 3/4 of the flat track. The flat track is pretty awesome. You pretty much get it topped out before you have to get on the brakes.

Riding is the only way to get ready for a race. Just go out somewhere and pound laps. Even if your tired just keep going. In a HS race you will get tired but you just have to keep going and usuall you get a second wind.

[seatec]

Now you guys getting me all excited about doing a HS.
Eric, you guys ride out there in the evening? thats pretty ballsy.

Yes, i have the AMA CArd already and only have to get my D-7 card. I'll gte that at the track same as Eric.

Again, what color back ground are the number plates suppose to be?

[greghall]

That MX track at Budds will hurt you take it easy because I had a bad wreck on Henry hill went up it way to fast and came off around 8 feet up in the air & foot peg cut me pretty good when my Banshee ran me over .,Eric dont worry about your frame If it breaks that easy buy a Honda ;) your bikes fine, stick with HS & you will be alright,you can still get hurt but I think its safer than MX.

[cletusEX]

The Blue-Gray HS race at Budds is April 4th. I really want to race but I might go to the national race in SC that weekend. Maybe I can race the GNCC on Sat. and race Budds on Sun. :) Any of you plan on racing at Budds that weekend?

As far as number plates, for D-7 all you need is a rear number plate. Everyone runs white with black letters. Your district number and what class you are. 4 stroke B has to run an x. so my number plate says 159x. vet class has to run a v. i forget what A and 2 stroke classes run.

[cletusEX]

Seatec if your that excited about racing come on up to Tomahawk this weekend:D

I'm itching to but a promise is a promise.

[seatec]

man, we just hit a hundred pages with this thread.

[Delaware152]

YLW400- I am still planning on going to Easton on Sunday. Are you?

[pgregg85]

I think Tomahwk is still having practice on Saturday.

[kwatts400]

I just got back from Blue Diamond. I hit it just right, they went to twilight rates just after I pulled up, so it was only $15. The atv track is kinda fun, it still needs some work, but there are decent jumps. Would be nice to try out the bike track though.
