Nah, was a HS.

[Ericthered rdr]

Damn....wow it hurts to type. I need to get into better shape.


D&B I am going to Rausch on both days. I will be bringing my family and camping.

Seatec the laddy that singed me up said I should run vet so I did and man there was some talent in that class! I doubt I will run it again. the b class a lot of people in it but I think I could have had a better race in that class. The vets had some really modified quads.

Greg I got the bug now

Eric, see that is what i understood about the vet class too. THey are not the over the hill kind of guys that i initally thought they where. They are often better than B or even A riders. hehe.
I take it your hands are hurting. lol

My hands are fine. Its my arms, back, legs, neck....umm my whole damn body is totaled and I am not ashamed to admit it.

Hey Tomahawk redid their website and it is a major improvement

Tomahawk... old school motocross at it's best! (http://www.tomahawkmx.com/index.php)

[seatec]

Cool, widened trails. thats got m written al over. Not because i will be passing but being passed. lol

I guess seeing how you are a wreck that i will take the day after the HS at Tom. off to re-coup.:D

Man, its a two hour ride from here to Tomahawk.
Eric, are you going to keep hooking up with your buddy to go to these HS? Is his trailer big enough for 3 quads or can we put one in the Trucbed and two on the trailer? Let me know. We can ride with him and chip in for fuel and stuff or hook the trailer up to my Truck. Might be more Comfortable for passengers with the Crew cab and all.
Did you clean the quad yet?

[seatec]

I'm wondering if our MX friends had a good time this weekend?

[Ericthered rdr]

Seatec I have a 16' trailer that will easily hold 4 quads. I going to get it inspected this week.

We will get something worked out to make the trip easier on everyone and with the price of fuel we need to do something. Is chris going to come??

[seatec]

Cool on the trailer. didn't know when your where going to get it inspected. I hope Chris will come even if he cant ride. He expressed interest in being our Media man.:D
I usually talk to him at least once a week so ill see what his schedule looks like for that weekend.

[pgregg85]

I had a great time at the GNC in Danville Virginia. Believe it or not they didnt get a drop of rain all weekend and was watering the track wen we got there on thursday night.

[seatec]

lol, rub it in. Cool. How did you do at the GNC?

[YLW400]

Hey guys, just checking in :D I didn't even ride this weekend, Delaware152 called me yesterday from the track telling me to not even worry about coming down, cause it was raining it's butt off....Looks like Easton next Saturday since Sunday is Easter.....Yea Paul, how did you do??? Jones??

[seatec]

Hey JC. you've been quit the last few days on here. WHat, you dont like us woods riders no more?:devil:

Greg I got the bug now Glad to see you had a ball.Most of the VET riders are A riders they just dont want to race Andy :D but they all use the excuse that they are to old LOL,B class would be better if you can get a good start & make it through the slower riders quickly,Im going to race B this year & maybe jump back to VET nexst year,I just dont think I can run with those guys right now,I want to finish well & gain my confidence back.

SANDBAGGER!!!! :devil:

[cletusEX]

At the last few races the top B riders are turning just as faster or faster lap times than most of the vet class. I think at budds there were only 2 vet riders faster than the top 5 or so B riders.

[seatec]

Are there any sub classes under B like open or 4 stroke only?

[YLW400]

Well Seatec, I was up in New York Friday and Saturday, took off from work early Friday...Thats why I've been so quiet:D No, actually I am trying to convert you woods riders to MX riders:devil: :p

[seatec]

Well, i dont mind hopping around on a MX track but thats different than running an actual race on a track. Scary stuff my friend.

Well, i am still open as to what second quad to buy lol. My GF spend so much money in Lancaster last week that she felt guilty and wants to gte me another quad for my birthday. lol COuld be the mX quad.

[pgregg85]

Seatec, I got 5th overall in 25+ class. I should have finished better because I won moto 1 on saturday and then on sunday I got a bad start and came from last back up to 9th out of 18. In the 4 stroke A class I qualified 6th on Saturday and finished up Sunday with a 9th overall.

[seatec]

i think thats damn good. Cool. NOw get those start goin will ya. hehe. I think i dont even have the balls to go balls to the wall in a start MX or XC. you see all them guys gunning for that one small spot. Scary Stuff.

Maybe i should take up quilting like my GF.:rolleyes:

no shot of that here bud. I almost got killed on the mx track at budds. When you go up the really big hill next to the office there is a tight turn to the left then there is a small double. well I forgot that is was a double not a drop and I nosed into the crator hard enough to smack my face on the bars. I just wish I knew how to hit those jumps like the MX pro's in the huebos videos

[Ericthered rdr]

they say it is the most fun to ride because it has a strait axle and serious balls. but the grizz and sportsman are the best looking

[seatec]

your right. the Grizzly looks the best

[cletusEX]

If I ever get the bugs worked out of my quad I might race another mx race. I think there is a mx race at Tomahawk on april 25th. Maybe I'll show up to get some seat time.

yup I'd rather hit a tree in third gear wot. then to do a faceplant on a 75' double. ummmm I think we are all crazy and I am just gonna take up sewing with Seatecs better half

[seatec]

LMAO

[cletusEX]

I don't know, I wreck a lot. I think I could find a way to hurt myself even sewing. All those needles. . . Ouch!

[seatec]

my GF says that we are all wussies and says to go wrap around an tree and toughen up. lol

[cletusEX]

You can always tell a good HS track by looking at all the trees. If they are missing bark and all scarred up, you know it's going to be a good tight course. There have been so many times in a race when I came close to hitting a tree and then on the next lap I've come around and seen all the bark missing or the whole tree(small trees) run over.

Cletus.....we have two weeks to fix your quad and then you will be bang'n off of trees at Tomahawk.

[seatec]

yeah but have you ever flow into a briar hedge at 50 mph? thats Good times. My arms look nike mike tyson had knawed on them for half a hour.

[250RXCrider]

Greg,

Vet will start on the second row behind A and last Tomahawk race there was four 2 strokes so they started us in Vet as well. You should come up it is a good time.

It all depends on who shows up. At Budds yesterday the Kyte brothers raced in the vet class. I don't know if they raced when you did but they are pretty quick. The top 2 guys from last year in the vet class usually show up at all the points races. They can be pretty quick at some tracks. The B class is usually bigger so you usually have more of a variation of skill levels, but the top 5 or so guys are all pretty fast. Just race where ever your comfortable, I'm sure you'll do well no matter what class you run.

Yeah I know Mike & Dave Kyte they are faster than me I could hang with them on the first 2 laps & then I would get tired & play it safe & back off,I cant inmagine how fast they are know!

You don't want any donations from me. I'm cursed. The bike would probably blow up when you started it. You just need a cookie jar like I got.:D

[250RXCrider]

That cookie jar is definetly out of the question....maybe I need to find a new home for the R

[Ericthered rdr]

I think Mike won the race in vet. He is awsome! I wish there was a true beginners class. They should run a c-class like the bikes. It seems only fair that there should be a class for all levels. I am going to run b-class at Tomahawk.

[cletusEX]

Yeah I gotta a chance to see how fast everyone was, as I was sitting on my broke quad. Mike Kyte and a guy on a white R where inches from each other when they came by me. Both were haulin'.

A C-class would be nice but last year there weren't enough riders. There were like 7-8 guys who would show up in the B-class. This year there are a lot more people. It makes it more fun when more people are out there.

[greghall]

those guys are TRUE A riders they pratice with And Lagsdinz all the time,Hey Eric I'll ride B if you do:D

[greghall]

They should make it A class,VET,B(2&4 stroke),C(2&4 stroke) & the top 5 at the year end move up a class.

[250RXCrider]

Loretta Lynn's GNCC is the same weekend as the Tomahawk race, so I am sure a lot of the "A" riders will be at the Nationals. I know there are quite a few district 7 guys who hit the majority of the GNCC's

[cletusEX]

Yeah they went with a A, B, and C class for MX. We asked why they didn't do it with quads and they said they didn't have enough people. I would be racing C class if they had one.

[250RXCrider]

We made that suggestions last year, but I do not think anyone ever took it seriously. It would make since.....at the Bluie Grey this past weekend I was only two stroke rider:(

[cletusEX]

Hmm Loretta Lynn's. I've heard that is a nice race. But that's an awful long way to go to have my quad break on me again. I think I'll stick to local races for that peice to take a sh$t.

Is it operator error?

I'm sure that has something to do it, but I can't get another rider. I just have to find a bike that can take the abuse a skilled rider like me dishes out!:D

[cletusEX]

What a second didn't you help to put that clutch in? Haha j/k

[greghall]

I was offered the HS rep job but didnt want to do at that time & my friend Mark Wilburn did it,the district 7 board said we could do what we wanted as long as the promotors agreed with it so I think it could be done if it was pushed.

[250RXCrider]

Originally posted by cletusEX

Nooooo, well maybe, was I drinking? Oh maybe it is that quality Barnet clutch...j/k I think we can switch out your brothers and he will never know the difference

[250RXCrider]

The quad H.S rep is now the VP of district seven and I beleive the job maybe open....any takers?

[cletusEX]

I think I could switch bikes and he wouldn't know the difference. All he knows is his is red. His probably has more wrong with it than mine.

Karen is now the VP and I think she is the atv hs rep also.

[cletusEX]

Drove by the pits in laurel today and saw a few people out there riding. Also lots of dirt on the roads. I've never ridin out there, but it looks fun. I doubt it's worth getting in trouble over but I just have the urge everytime I go by.

[redhondi400]

I am coming home from college for the weekend. Can anyone give me directions to sugar hill lane? I haven't ridden for about a month and half, I can't take it. I usually ride at cedar lane and the track, but I am trying to find a different place to ride. :D

Send Seatec a pm I think he is going this weekend. He can show you around. I am taking the kids camping and I leave on thurs so I cant make it.

[Ericthered rdr]

I am going to run B-class this time. I think there should be a c-class for first year only racers or a rider who has not registered for an ama event in 3-5 years. There are many B-rideres out there that are way out of my leauge but I guess I will just have to try to get better to compete. Hows that fatboy sound. Oh and I nominate Greg for the HS position:macho

[seatec]

Yeah, send me a PM and ill get you there. One rule though. Don't be a jackass and do dangerous stuff. We have ways to make you disappear! :devil: J/K

Eric you sure living it up lately! Just taking days off 'n stuff. hehe.

Greg, you cant ride B with us. you are way to fast. lol


Oh yeah, i second Eric's nomination Of Greg so its official.

[cletusEX]

He Eric look at the Budds Creek website under the results. They have all the lap times. It will give you an idea of how you would have done in the B class.

[Ericthered rdr]

Like I said they need a C-class. I am looking for a better race there in May. I will be in better shape then. I am happy that I finnished.

[seatec]

I think that quad sales are through the roof and maybe later this year or next season they incorporate a C-Class. IF Greg gets elected into the D7 board we have the inside track on that. hehe

[cletusEX]

If they do go to just A, B, and C classes it won't be till next year.

[seatec]

your probably right unless there is a big turn out to much for b class i guess.

[cletusEX]

Yeah I think the more people who show an interest in changing the classes will help. Last year there were only a few people who showed up to all the races. If a lot more people start showing up on a regular basis then they will give more consideration to change it. It would be nice to have a C class but i don't think they would let my run in it because this is my second season in the B class. Some of the races are D-7 and D-6 points races. D-6 has a c class but I have to run B in order to get my points in D-7. I end up having to run with a lot of faster guys, and usually get caught by the faster c riders. It sucks.

[seatec]

you seem to be caught in the middle there.

[greghall]

[greghall]

Any way guys 2 strkes are going to be exstinct real soon so they need a A,B,C & VET,

[greghall]

Looked at the Budds results looks like Mike Kyte took the overall & Cutis Forester 2nd those guys are real fast,nobody wants to run A or 2 stroke so Vet & 4 stroke are the competive classes,they really should change the classes thats dumb having one or two people in a class,I know how fast the top guys are I know how they finish in GNCC so slow VET guys dont have a chance.All you can do is your best.ERic I would run B nesxt time or you can stick with Vet you didnt do bad on your first race there is more to it than riding fast it takes a few races to get the hang of it.

[redhondi400]

Seatec, you up for a ride saturday? I can't wait to ride.

[seatec]

most likely if i get my tie rods in

Hey Eric you cleaned your quad from Budds yet? My brother and I just picked up ours tonight from our trailer. That is some nasty, cement like mud. I'll probably be cleaning all day tomorrow.

[Ericthered rdr]

Greg how does it look for you on coming out to Tomahawk? I am dying to see a modified 450r run. there were some 450r's at budds but I didn't see any that even had an aftermarket pipe on yet.

[Ericthered rdr]

Actually I just picked mine up from Jims house tonight and he was cool enough to squirt it off for me. He also said that that chit was like cement. It was awsome for him to do that for me because I didn't have the time or energy to do it today. I am going to give her a super bath tommorrow.

[cletusEX]

Yeah it usually takes 2 good washings to get that mud off. Mine's pretty dirty and I didn't even make it 1 lap.

There were a couple 450R's there but I didn't see any that were doing anything in the woods. The ones that came by me were just putting in first gear. My brother is thinking about picking one up this weekend. I keep egging him on, I'm curious to see how they run.

cool deal if he gets it. I am more then satisfied with what I have I will be looking into those fancy boingy things you got under your quad soon. I figured out a wish list for my quad and I only need seven thousand dollars to get it where I want it to be. any donations????:devil:

[seatec]

Hey Greg, Your right man. Those trees will be jumping out of the way big time when they see the moly shine! :D

I'm all gung ho to go do the Tomahawk HS. Hope you can make it out there Greg.

Eric, whats this tie rod's wont save me sh$t. you know i ride "Full CONTACT" in races right. lol.


BTW, I'm sending out my spare set of shocks out to be re-valved by Santos today. Should have them back in two or three weeks. Probably wont make it back before Tomahawk but thats cool.

Wouldn't want to get spoiled now would i?

[seatec]

what are you grinning at, buster?! :D

[checkster]

went out riding for the first time this year last night. went to graysons with my kid. felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. new shocks were giving me a fit though, still need to dial them in as the rear was hoping all over the place. anyways, maybe see some of you guys there. look for the yellow banshee, kx60, and POS green pickup.....haha

check

[seatec]

Hey checkster. Did old man grayson groom the track a little? it was all wooped out last year when i went. especially going up on the side hill. it was bad.

[checkster]

he groomed it before the end of last year. yesterday was kinda rough. usually on the hill i just peg it in third and bring the front off the ground....pretty smooth. Yesterday that was not the case. Even the dirt bike guys there were going up the middle to avoid the whoops. I promised my kid buy the end of the year I would clear the double at the bottom of the hill. Usually I land on the top of the second hill......guess I just need to sack up, but man those guys on the dirtbikes make it look so effortless LOL

check

[seatec]

THat Bottom double is a little tricky since you dont have a good run on it and you cant practice jump it it with a better run because of them berm thats there. i bent the hell out of my pipe on the crf450 last year on the top jump. i was tryiong to hop it and panick revved it to much and looped it out. the pipe was bent up so far it was burning my behind when i rode it. :D

[checkster]

well last year I almost cleared the bottom double, course I landed to hard and bent the stock shock shaft(last time riding that season). Got some Axis shocks this winter and they felt like butter yesterday. I can get plenty of speed for the jump in 3rd just dont have enough nuts yet to bonsia it. Always rode woods and stuff so Im still trying to figure out how to control the quad in the air.

The double at the top of the hill......NO THANKS! that thing is like a freakin lauch pad straight up. Plus all hope of ever hitting it good are ruined by the washout right before the jump. I cant get the bike to hook up enough to get any speed on that one. Last year I tryed hitting it and the shee came off the pipe at the crest of the jump and nose dived throwing me over the bars....OUCH hahaha Didnt hurt anything but my pride though thanks goodness.

check

[seatec]

Yeah, i know how you feel about the jumping. Have you ever been at easton? if not, you may want to go. THe beginner MX track there is a great teacher for jumping. nothing that can really mess you up. Well, if you try hard enough everything can mess you up. hehe. Anyway, that track helped me to nut up and start jumping some stuff. like i said, nothing major but enough to help you jump the double at grayson's.

[checkster]

where's Easton?


check

[seatec]

Sorry, It's called The Landing MX Park in Easton Maryland. It's on the eastern shore. Go over bay bridge and follow Rt 50 south until you hit easton. I can give you more precise Dirs. if you want or just check out their website.

The Landing MX (http://www.thelandingmx.com/index.htm)

[checkster]

ohhhhhhh........wasnt that the place you guys went to a couple weeks ago? My quad was still out of commision when you guys went or I woulda hooked up with you all.

There were a couple 450R's there but I didn't see any that were doing anything in the woods. The ones that came by me were just putting in first gear. My brother is thinking about picking one up this weekend. I keep egging him on, I'm curious to see how they run. Dont worry they run there ***** off the riders you seen just suck so dont take that into consideration, buy one it makes the 400EX feel like a toy,& that was a excellent bike all you have to do is put on a 13T front sprocket remove the preload(just like I did on my EX) soften the clickers & RACE!!

[seatec]

Greg, i just sent my shockl out to santos for a XC revalve. Im hoping i can go down on the reload now and make the shocks work better at the top of the stroke.
Bummer i wont have them before Tomahawk.

[greghall]

Santo does a good job on stockers I heard that he can make them work almost as good as Axis or Elka's,Are you still going to go to Tomahawk if you dont have your shocks back?Borrow a set from somebody to race with:D

[seatec]

Greg,
The set i sent to Santos is an Extra set of shocks i picked up from ebay. I couldn't bare not have my quad ready for action.:D

[seatec]

Oh boy. i just had my 4" exhaust system put on my truck by my mechanic since my buddy who shall remain nameless messed his shoulder up and couldnt help me with it. The pipe sounds awesome. Not to obnoxious but enough to get attention.

Good Times!

ehh Yes Sir! hehe

Hopefully i can persuade my friend RSTE440 to come along for the ride and be our camera man and pit Bio.... ehhh man! :D

[cletusEX]

what kind of truck and exhaust? my brother is looking at exhaust systems for his f-250 powerstroke.

[seatec]

I have a 2002 Silverado 2500HD duramax/allison CC/SB.
Chevy (http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/seatec11/album?.dir=/2500HD&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/seatec11/my_photos)

The exhaust i got from Kennedy Diesel. Pretty good Guy.
You can find him on-line

[cletusEX]

That's a nice truck man!

[seatec]

Thanks, i like it! wish i had something big to tow around so it would get some exercise.:D

[cletusEX]

Yeah those diesels really love to tow. My brothers truck pulls our 20 foot enclosed trailer real nice. We are always getting on him about slowing down.:)

[seatec]

F250 are sweet for sure. it's like when they actually tow something they run smoother.

Im need to buy myself a beater truck this summer, my neon wont cut it towing my 400 and my mom screams at me everytime I use her truck. I had a deal on a 91 s-10 with 110k miles for 700 bucks, it was in awesome shape but he sold it before I got to him.

[greghall]

Jetted my 450R today & started it up boy that Fat Boy 4 sure does sound BADDD!!Also whent back to a 38T in the rear have to find some time to ride before tomahawk.

[greghall]

Seatec we know you got all the cash:D you & Eric spend money like water:devil:

[seatec]

Dude I am in minivan hell too:mad: I have four kids so I have no choice. I have a 97 Grandcaravan and a '00 Grand Am GT. I want to sell the gt but the wife wont let her baby go. I have an '01 F150 xlt but it is a company truck and I can't use it for personal use anymore. So that leaves me using dads truck (85 chevy) 'till I can get me one of those fancy deisles like Seatec has. WHat is really screwd up is my daughter will start driving in 18 months so I need to hurry up before my wife makes me buy her a car.

I would love to hook up at SH but I am leaving in the morning to go camping in Lancaster for the Easter weekend with the family. You all have fun and be safe.

Cya,
Eric

[redhondi400]

Whats a good time to go to SH, on a saturday? I want to go this weekend.

[Honda5]

what happened to all the riders on my side of the big water?I think me + slo moto are going to Easton on friday. And it is confirmed D+b will be attending EX Riders Rausch creek ride on May 15th + 16th but I couldn't talk her into cooking for everyone:(

[seatec]

Eric, if you need to borrow my truck, give me a holla since you cant use the Company ride for pers. use anymore.

Dave, glad to hear you guys are coming to the Rausch ride. I'm sure we are going to have a blast. B.?/ no cooking? Dang, there goes my traditional thinking about Woman. J/K.

Let me know, i am more that happy to strap my Gas grill in the back of the truck or on Eric's trailer and bring it up there with us.

A good time to ride at SH is from 9 till around 12. its quite and all the nut jobs aren't there yet.
I might be there if my TIE rods come in today and i get some time t put them in. Any tips and tricks before i start this install?
I figure i would measure the intact tie rod from ball center to ball center and duplicate that measurement onto the new tie rods. see anything wring with this theory?

[greghall]

No that will get you close but you want to mesure from the middle of the tires (as close to center as you can & mark eack tire)& get a mesurement in the front of the tire & the rear of the tire,you need about a 1/8 inch to 3/8 inch toe in.maybe you should post something about alienment but that the way I do it,just like a car.Eyeball it up to see.

[seatec]

thats a good method. how do you find the middle of the tire? put a Venier caliper on it and mark the middle that way?

[cletusEX]

That's how I do it. I've read write ups talking about taking the shock off and measuring toe in along the movement of the a-arms, but that way gets pretty complicated. Get it pretty close, you may have to adjust it the first time you ride it. I just get it close and then learn to deal with it.:D

[seatec]

On my rc cars, toe in would give you high speed linear stability and toe out gives you better cornering. why not toe out on quad when you do XC?

[cletusEX]

Toe out gets real twitchy at higher speeds. I'm not talking about 5th gear tapped, but even in 2nd and 3rd gear your steering will be affected. That's not something you want when your awful close to trees.

[seatec]

lol

[greghall]

On your razor2's go by the line in the center of the tread I was looking at mine & thats dead center,my tires are new but you should still see it.Toe out will wonder at speed ,toe in very slightly.

[seatec]

mine are relatively new. i should still see that line.

got my tusks tie rods today plus the Hiper mud plugs.

[cletusEX]

Any of you guys riding this weekend? I'm heading up to Ridersville Cycle tomorrow morning to pick up my brothers 450R. We were thinking about maybe going to Rausch or Tomahawk on Saturday if my clutch comes in.

[seatec]

I bought my 400ex from them a couple years ago. Great prices and easy to deal with. They sure do move some quads out of that place. My brother called them up last week and they said they had 2 in stock. I've been working on him all week! I can't wait to take a spin on it.:D

[seatec]

Greg, i already rode Red. CRF450 and it was an awesome bike. just didnt want a bike anymore.
I did my home work on 4 major brand top of the line quads and the Grizzly just seemed to suit my needs. Im not buying it to go fast but slow and deliberate.(power is to get by big *** up a steep hill). If i want to go fast i just strap myself to my YFZ.:D

[chucked]

dude i wrecked pretty bad today, I was in a wheelie I shifted from 2nd to 3rd and it went to far back and I didnt hit the rear break, it grabbed and flew me one way and slammed me on my *** (and man i cant sit down) and the quad slammed down on its side bending the front right rim and obliterating the lights I put on the bars.

Anyone got a used front rim for a 400ex for sale??

I guess every ody type has its (dis)advantages.
Im really looking forward too it and neither rain or shine is gonna stop me. This time im making sure my quad is in top condition.

Eric, are we hooking up for this?


Well, its time for me to go do the Tie rod thing and hope im smart enough to figure it out.:D

qQUestion: can you dye pexiglass?

[redhondi400]

Today was a bad day, I decided to go grayson's track today, We we're they only quads there, it was a horrible. A dirt bike rider cursed us out because my buddy went track up the hil and didn't go around the burm. The guy was in the air when buddy flew over the top of the hill. The guy said that we should learn the track, that was a "dirt bike" only track. :mad: I hate dirt bike riders, because they quads. I think more quads should go up there and tick them all off. Most of the dirt bike riders that ride there are complete *********s that need a punch in the face. We need a "quad" only track. :grr:

[seatec]

Who ever said ity was a Dirtbike only track doesnt know his *** fomr his elbow. everyone is welcome there and if grayson wouldve heard the guy say that he wouldve sent the guy packing. Most dirbikers are pretty cool though.
how was the track? im going to try to make it out to sugar hill tmorrow. had to wrench all day today and plug tires. Greg warned me but i still got two nails in both my rear tires damnit.

[greghall]

Told you to stay in the woods nails all over the place,I'm propley not going to ride before Tomahawk.I put on my rear skid & kill swicht today,had to order my glide plate & PRM Summit front bumper I will have it by Tomahawk.

hey guys! I just got back from a great weekend of camping with the family and some friends. The new camper was a great step up from doing the tent thing.

Seatec ang Greg, we need to start thinking about a plan for the ride up to tomahawk. If I collect on a debt from a friend then I will have the trailer on the road. I need to get the thing inspected and I have been putting it off for weeks because it needs alot of work, but when I get done with it it will be like new. I can also talk to my buddy Jim and see what his plans are.

[seatec]

hey welcome back. looks like you had a good time. yeah lets work something out for next sunday on transportation.

[cletusEX]

My string of bad luck continues. Yesterday I broke my rear brakeline off riding up at Tomahawk. (Pretty much brand new SS lines) Then I go out to clean my quad today and I have a flat tire. I can plug it but it still sucks.

I better get some good luck. . . I haven't even rode his yet. Every machine I've been on I've broke so there was no way in hell I was riding his brand new quad!:p I'm thinking I'll keep the 400 till the summer then see if I can scrounge up enough money to by something new. He seemed to like it and is going to race it next weekend at Tomahawk so we'll see how he does.

You better not change nothing before the race that may change your jetting to much, do it after the race so you wont have any proplems.

[seatec]

good cll greg but i was going to take friday and monday off. (monday for recovery heheh) and friday for re-jet. thought id run it ona field somewhere and get the jetting right. ill thin about it.

[greghall]

I dont like K&N filters they will pass dirt through them I prefer oiled foam ,water will also bounce off foam to a extent,the outerwear air box lid sounds good but I want to see it in action before I buy one,I like my air box sealed up.I also heard YFZ's are very hard to jet correctly& it takes time thats only what I heard.

So what is the deal with Tomahawk? Who all is coming? Where are we all gonna meet up at? Is Harlen comming out? well Sapranos is commin on gotta go

I guess I will do the B-class to see how bad I really am. I only hope to finish without breaking me or the quad. I hear it is a really rocky beotch up there.

[cletusEX]

Was up there on Sunday and it is rocky as hell. Between the rocks and tree roots and stumps it is a rough course. You all better have some good skidplates. It's a fun course but you will be sore the next day. I've had some pretty bad last couple of races and am looking forward to doing well. Needless to say I will have the hammer down as much as possible!

Tomahawk was definetly rocky on Saturday...if they run the same course as last race you all better have some good skid plates. Also make sure the fender bolts are tight, I lost three this past weekend.

[greghall]

I confident rocks dont scare me ,Ive raced some rocky races. Andy from dirt first said it wasnt as bad as Cliffside or Antietum just put on a 1/4 inch PRM rear skid just for this race man that thing is thick.

[250RXCrider]

I never had a chance to race Cliffside, but I heard it was a pretty nasty course. It should be a fun race next weekend at Tomahawk!! There are not many big rocks, but on one side on the course it is like you never ride on dirt. I think all the top soil has been washed of the side of the hill. As for Andy he rides so fast I think he just skips over them!

[RTSE440]

I know a field that is open.....BUT....If it aint broke don't fix it.:D
I know you and Murphy's Law are good friends.... wait till after the race maybe? You CANNOT be lacking power. That YFZ is a torque and horsepower monster:macho , just the way it is. Don't tempt fate!!!! Tell ya what....c'mon over Sat night about 10:00p.m. and well get started on that cam mod. We'll have it done before the race NO problem:D . We'll have enough time left to split the cases and check out the crank too....hee hee hee!

F'n smart *****:D
OK ok. i wont change a thing on the quad. All of you happy now?? lol

Greg, i have that PRM skid plate too and its a monster. pretty heavy but i like how it also protects the linkage. I have to drill a hole on the side of the lincage cage so i can get to my clicker on the shock though.


Rocky is ok as long as we are not riding in a downpour.

Ill be setting my clickers way soft for that one, thats for sure and the Denton is going on full shock absorbent.:D

You girly man you! Be a tough ***** like me and ride a bone stock suspension, or is that a bumb *****? I would love to get some elka boingers in time but that aint gonna happen! I might try to get a steering damper though. I have heard some are not as good as others but cant remember why. Any recomondations, I might look on Z400central to see what everyone over there is using.

[seatec]

Well, of the low bux adjustable and rebuildable ones i think the Denton is the best one. THe Denton rebuildable is sold in a variety of brand names but they are all the same. THey are hard to get right now is what i understand though.

Girly man. lol hey, you can set your clickers down too. oh wait, you dont have any. buwahhahahah. J/K man.

I was just reading the PM race at bucks. I love it how they get the little jabs in regarding the YFZ and other E-start quads. Very creative. Thing like " Two Kick start quads made it off the line first" meaning forget E-start , its not working. i think its a hoot and funny as hell. Gotta love the coverage though. its awesome!:D

[YLW400]

Anyone hitting the National this weekend at Budds????? Seatec, Eric?? anyone?

[Ericthered rdr]

I did some serious research on the dampers and found that the Denton was not ranked high and had poor customer service,but the price is right! I looked at Scotts and GPR but they require a second mortgage to purchade one. I am probly just gonna get the Denton for now but when I upgrade my front end I am gonna do it right.

I run a WER and have had pretty good luck with it so far. It's a lot more expensive than the Denton but I like it a lot better. I know a lot of guys who run Dentons and love them. Your gonna want something up a Tomahawk. I have run that course without a steering dampner and it is a lot rougher.

[seatec]

A friend of mine had a wer on his kdx220 and loved it. I'd get a GPR but i already have a +2 steering stem and with the GPR setup i think my clamp would be way to high because it adds like an inch or so don't it?

cketus, are you setting yours on hard or nedium for tomahawk?

[cletusEX]

I run mine on hard pretty much all the time. With the WER when it is on hard the bars still move smoothly, I know when I had a Denton when you set it on hard the bars where a lot stiffer. The WER works differently than the Denton. There is not as much resistance until you hit something than the resistance kicks in.

Your right, when i set the Denton to full hard it actually takes a little more effort tommove the bars. you get what you pay for.

Where does your WER mount?

It mounts right behind the front bumper. I didn't have it mounted right at the last Tomahawk race and the arm that attaches to the stem got bound up and snaped. I got it setup right this time.

[seatec]

Cool. thanks. It's a pain to mount the Denton as well. YOu have to get it just right so it wont bind up on ya.

Yeah I had a hard time mounting my Denton when I had one. A buddy of mine just mounted a PEP on his YFZ and it actually went on pretty well. It attached to his engine mount. I don't know if that is the same as a Denton, but it looked pretty nice.

[seatec]

Nope, a Denton mounts (on a YFz anyway) to the front cross bar bewteen the frames level with the top bumper mount.

[pgregg85]

JC, What day are you going to Budds?

[Delaware152]

When are you getting there Paul? I am planning on Thursday around 12:00. That is subject to change but that is the plan. JC is getting there on Sat. He doesn't need practice!!lol The lastest weather is a chance of showers Friday also. I would like practice to be cancelled - that could be to out advantage. We already know the track. When are you getting there?

[trxbill450r]

hey Seatec,YLW400, and Honda5 I ride at the landing all the time. I live about an hour out. Maybe we could hook up there sometime and ride. Alright talk to you later.Peace

[seatec]

TRXbill,, sure, why not. i intend to go there more often this summer because one thing is for sure. running a track over and over again sure get you in shape.:D

[YLW400]

What day are you heading up Paul?? Yea, you know me Delaware, I don't need to practice :o :D There aren't enough hours in the day for me to practice for this...I'm sure I'll be getting my ***** handed to me by a bunch of 17 year olds...lol

Sure TRX, juste tell me when :D Were you there this past Saturday?

I think JC and 152 should start holding MX classes there. They are good enough to learn from that is for sure. One day when I grow up I want to be fast like them:devil:

[YLW400]

Maybe Delaware and Pgregg should hold the classes. Those 2 are the fast ones ;) I'm just an average C rider.

Average C rider my *****!!!!! I have seen you out there. I also noticed 152 and pgregg85 were at the top of the points from last year on the D-7 web page. You arent really running C-class are you???? If you are I am sure glad I am not into MX I would hate to have to eat your roost all the time, although it would only be for a brief second as you lapped me.

Seriously though When I do make it back accross the bridge I would like for you to teach me some MX tricks because they would be helpfull for when I get out onto the track during HS races
