Just race your race and you'll finish. Don't push your self too much on the first lap. Once you get into a nice rythmn you won't even be thinking about how tired you are. Also, the less time you spend off the quad getting it off trees the less tired you will be, so pick good lines and if slowing down is what you need to do in order to get through a section clean do it.

[seatec]

probably next week or shortly thereafter. i am very curious too and will do a full report on them for you guys. i hear good things about them.

[Ericthered rdr]

Nick you must be in good shape because I felt like I was going to die half way into my second lap then the burn went numb and I just pushed until the race was over. I just can't belive how out of shape I have gotten over the past two years. I am working on getting back in shape though.:macho

No way am I in shape, but you just get used to racing. I pretty much know I'm gonna get arm pump like the second lap, but if I keep pushing it, it goes away and then I get real comfortable on the bike. Being in shape helps so much. At our practice track I can keep up with my brother and 2 other riding buddies (all of which are pretty fast) but then I start fading and have to just run my pace, while they pull away. As you race more you understand what your body is going to do and then you either slow down or keep pusing it.

[cletusEX]

Eric do you run a steering stabilizer?

[greghall]

Well guys keep drinking that water I'll check back in tonight.

[seatec]

mike was riding at the training grounds off of allendar road. A whole bunch of people showed up at mohrs lane a few days ago and they said cops told them to get out and never come back.

[chucked]

and now you got that fat boy (which I know is loud as ****, mike's friend had one on his 450) so you will really be in for **** now.

[cletusEX]

With a lot of the close nationals and local races coming up you should be alright for riding.

[chucked]

I figure instead of payin admission fee's, gas, missing work etc... Id just ride around here, if I get caught a few times a year Ill just call it even.

I don't know some of those trespassing tickets are pretty steep. I also have been in trouble with the law enough to know I don't want anything to do with them.

well tresspassing is a misdemeaner and the max fine is $500, but my 4 wheeler is registered and I have the registration tag, and I do carry written premission from my neighbor and the guy that owns 90% of the property behind my house. And whats been happening around here recently is, if you have the registration tags, the cop will just run ur #'s and let you go if its all good.

Yeah if you know most of the land you ride on you don't have a problem. I run an aftermarket frame so there aren't any numbers and have way too much money in my quad to get it taken away.

[Pappy]

hey it was kick *** racing with you fellas today.

[Pappy]

i shouldnt have raced....i can barely type:p

[Pappy]

I think we now have a few more racers to add to the group:D

[Pappy]

and as stated above..racing yourself back in shape....im trying it and boy does it hurt:p

[Pappy]

High temp today was 87 .....and i have a few pounds of dust in my lungs:p I know my kid was disappointed not getting to go to budds creek but atleast he got to see some racing. (i was too:( )

and how is that for the ultimate in laziness? riding the quad to the track....some people have nerve:devil:

[chucked]

Mike Andrews broke his collar bone last night. Dont know what happened though. It was funny cuz yesterday his friend "chub chub" said he'd never seen mike wreck before.

[250RXCrider]

Hell of a day of racing fellas and it was nice to meet some other members:D

My hands hurt so much I can hardly type. On that nore I am going to bed.

Later,

[seatec]

I had a ball guys. it was really great meetin all of you guys. if i get to emotional here i can alwaysblameit on the massive amounst of advil im popping for my various aches and pains.:D

Hanging out with a great bunch of guys is half the fun of this great sport. I tell you wone thing with this sport. you really learn who you are and what you are made off. Can't wait till next time.

Thanx for all the little tips from you guys. it helped me a lot.'

[greghall]

Well guys I made it to work I was sick as a DOG when I got done racing the heat really got to me,I had to go right to bed with a massive head pains from heat exhaustion I guess,but I had fun & did way better than I expected 3rd place in the B class aginst all those young guys;) It was nice meeting all the guys you to PAPPY.how do you feel today guys?

[YLW400]

Cool, at least noone got hurt (too bad) and it sounds like everyone had fun!! That's all that really matters!

[Pappy]

and the newly designed jump in the back section of teh MX track is awesome! i got air:eek:

[seatec]

Well, i tell ya. suprisingly, i feel really good. i have a minor ache on my right thigh but other than that i feel really good. it might be because i popped a few advil this morning. lol.


i think i was 14 or 15 overall but am not sure. i got 4 laps in.
When i saw the white flag i almost pulled off and say, "Tho hell with this" but i didnt want a DNF on my first HS. That would not have been a good start so i pressed on. The first three laps i had to make at least 3 stops because my arms whewre just killing me and i couldnt hang on to the handlebars. but in the last lap i wanted to make it through without stopping and i made it , barely that is. :D i was damn happy seeing that checkered flag but almost sh&t when the guy said that i had one more lap to go. he was kidding of course but i was to tired to notice.

In short, it was one of the coolest things i have ever done and will continue to race.

it was pretty cool haning out with all you guys.

[Ericthered rdr]

Great time yesterday and glad to meet the rest of the gang. I feel really good today except my hands. thanks for the pics pappy. hey who has the info for the DVD guys??? I am real busy today with work so I might be on tonight. Again it was a great time yesterday and I am looking forward to Budds on 5/2

[Pappy]

i think greg has the flyer. i got them to film the "exrider" stickers and told them to post the info on the site or make contact so we are sure to get one. i think it will be killer to watch it and see how slow i am:devil:

[greghall]

Yeah I have a flyer I will call the guy tonight to see what's up.

[Pappy]

everyone needs to pick a weekend to ride tomahawk and then come over to my place for some beer and BBQ

only mx riders worry about the weather:p i was doing the quadshop rain dance yesterday but i must dance like a white guy cuz it didnt happen:mad:

[seatec]

so, does tomahawk have open riding like rausch? do woods and mx if you want? barring of course there is a race?

[YLW400]

I know they have MX practice...I Would assume they have HS as well......I don't like getting dirty Seatec:o :D

you can ride the same course we raced, you just need to use caution when re-entering the mx section.

[cletusEX]

I had a great time yesterday. I don't feel too bad, my hands are pretty messed up but that's about it. I ended up 7th and got my first wood, so that was pretty cool. Anyways, looking forward to May 2nd at Budds.

[seatec]

congrats cletus.

thanx for the info Pappy.

BTW. where you really comfortable on my quad? lol

I'm looking forward to budds I do well there most of the time , that should be a cake walk compared to Tomahawk.Good finish Nick you finished right behind my buddy Richie on his 450R.

[seatec]

what do you mean with you "should do good" at budds oppose to what? the 2nd place you got at tomahawk? lol. dang

[Pappy]

i wish i knew who it was on the yellow 400ex i passed on the mx track. whoever you are i apologize....i didnt wanna eat dust with no goggles!

[Ericthered rdr]

Hey I think Pappy posted that it was 87deg yesterday!!! I belive it because I drank two gallons of liquids yesterday and I still am thirsty. I lost 6 pounds and that is a lot when you only weigh 158. I figure that is one way to get the waist size down. I think that once I get in shape again and soften up the suspension I might at least be able to hang with some of you guys. Also I need to learn not to blow my wad on the first lap!!! Wow that was a big mistake. I just can't tell you guy how much fun that race was, even almost going over the bars in front of a buch of guys. How that hell I recovered from that one is still a mystery to me. What a great time and great people. I think we should try to make something out of this going to the rest of the races.

Eric

[Pappy]

Xc is the best:p

the attitudes usually dont show themselves and everyone sort of looks out for one another. where else would you find one of the top riders in the country pulling up and hangin out with a bunch of mudmonkeys:D hats of to andy for not running me over:devil:

[cletusEX]

It was definitely hot out there. I should'nt of drank all those beers the night before, but I figured beer has water in it.:D

Pappy, I know how you feel. I ran most of the race without goggles because it was so hot. I came out on the mx track behind you on one lap and all I could see was dust. I run the quick straps on my goggles so I could put them back on if it got too dusty, but my eyes are still sore today.

[greghall]

I drank maybe three gallons of water from sat. till the race & I think thats what saved me from major heat exhaustion I still had to go home & go straight to bed because of a bad headache from the heat.

[seatec]

greg i usually have the same headaches you have but loading up with fluids and taking advil right after the race kept me from having the headaches this time. also, Eric told me that bstretching before AND after the race should help with muscle aches and he was right. my leggs usually cramp up when driving home but this time i only had aminor little ache but nothig serious.

live and learn i guess.

[YLW400]

Cletus sounds like my kind of rider...hydrating on beer:D

[greghall]

hopefully its cool & cloudy at Budds with maybe a little rain to keep the dust down,& hopefully a better start:D

[400exvet]

so here you guys are! I was looking for y'all on the racing section. I pretty much sucked yesterday...only good thing is I feel good today! I got a flat on the second lap. I tried to keep going but kept running off the track...Anyway, I knew I was not going to catch back up to the front bunch so I gave in. By the time I got back to the pit to change it I was so pissed I could have *&%$%#. Our pit crew wasn't there...just the wife and son. They are not much help. By time I got calmed down enough to start wrenching on the tire myself, I said piss on it, threw the wrenches down and layed on the nice cool ground under the trailer and relaxed. I eventually walked around and watched the race.
Cletus, I think you were right next to me on the table top when I almost bit it big. I launched it and got crossed up in the air:eek2: I landed and rode out of it somehow. That is when I realized I had the flat:mad:
Good to meet you Seatec, greghall and your buddy's. Good to see Pappy out there sweatin it up! I saw Pappy without goggles so I ran all over the track to give him a pair...I finally found him kicked back in the shade..he said he was DONE! My buddy ended up 3rd overall, so we had something good to talk about on the way home! See y'all at Budds.

[Pappy]

actually i never saw ya. i was so beat from that heat ...and racing 2 days in a row. it was a blast!!

[seatec]

sorry to hear you had a flat exvet. what tires and wheels where you running? oh and fire your pit crew:D

it was good to meet you too. better luck next time. at least budds dosent have thoe big honking rocks.

[400exvet]

I have stock rims w/ razr's up front and ITP alum. beadlocks w/ razr2's on the back. I have never had a problem with the fronts. I have the reinforcement rings for the rears sitting on the work bench. They will definately be on the rear rims before I race again:grr: The insides of both rears are pretty chewed up. The reinforcement ring would have definately saved it....that's what really pissed me off:mad: I could have easily avoided this first DNF in 2 years. Later

[seatec]

thanx for the info exvet. hope you can avoid DNF this season.


Guys when does tomahawk post the results of Sundays race?

[greghall]

I emailed those guys today about results dont know if I have a reply yet,I also have to email the guys about the vidio too.

[greghall]

400EXVET you must of really nailed those rocks hard,I looked my bike over today & it looks really good,just some small nicks in the rims.

[seatec]

my rims look poretty good but my skid plates took a beating. i guess thats what they are for.

[greghall]

How are those Hiper's any cracks or gouges ?How did they hold up I think they would look really good on my bike.

Yeah those Hipers look really nice. I think by the summer I'll have a set. I don't like throwing money into the old 400ex but I figure I can always put them on my next bike.

[250RXCrider]

Once again I was the lone solider on the 2 stroke. It was a hell of a race and the heat was pretty tough. I think I got about 12 overall so I was happy. Well I just got in from the garage and took a pick of my new ride. Watch four stroke riders....here I come Later JP:Dhttp://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid113/p37dd13dddae4d92d8165846c323804b7/f8f30117.jpg

The hipers look surprisingly good. maybe a scuff here and there but the rings are holding up well considering that i bashed a rock or two in moments of ehh inattentiveness.:D

i wouldnt mind going back to Tomahawk and practice some more.

Any better suggestions. Rausch Creek maybe?


RXCrider. congrats on the new stroker. now you wont feel so alone on the starting line.:D I'm getting leary though. Me and my buddy Chris will be the only ones with a YFZ. :confused: :D

No you won't be the only one on a YFZ....a buddy of mine and Cletus rides a white YFZ. He was up at Tomahawk this past weekend. Those YFZ's sure pull had off the start:D

lemme know cuz ill be making riding plans for somewhere this weekend and if yall is comin up ill stay close to home

[Ericthered rdr]

Greg I am glad I ain't the only one that got the baboone ***, man it is sore back there. 250rxc nice new toy but now I wont be able to tell when you are coming up behind me anymore!!

Hey I have the hipers too and they were the best money spent so far but I have to soften that damn suspension up. I took suck an *** wooping out there. I had the preload jacked up way to high and could have went full soft in the rear. Live and learn.

I am not sure where I can ride this weekend but I want to be able to take my boys wherever it is. I wouldn't mind Raush or Tomahawk.

Woah.....JC how did the nats go. I havent seen anything posted in here yet(haven't really looked either) How did the D-7 guys do??? I got too caught up in the squirl chasers group to remember

b

[seatec]

Ah, i forgot CLetus had a white YFZ. i shouldve remembered because he passed me so often. lol

[greghall]

Eric I would love to have a set of Hipers they would look really nice on my bike,How much do they cost new?lower all the preload it will be a different ride,also tire pressure to 3 1/2 psi mine was at 4 I could of went lower.

[YLW400]

http://www.exriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1056838#post1056838

There's a rundown of what happened to me right in this thread Eric........... Pgregg85 and Delaware152 did extremely well though!!

[seatec]

i think you can get the fronts for about 170 a pop and rear for 190 a pop. money well spend. of all the things i was worried about during the race , the tires werent one of them.
Then again, you cant really pop a tire doing 5mph.:D

[seatec]

If you know anybody in MD for a 2004 YFZ450 Blue.
It has maybe 10-15 rides on it and has never been wrecked or seen any big air. it has front razrII with Baja wheels.
GYT-R Carbon slip on. Rethal 7/8 bars. This quad is taken care of for sure. i know the guy!
He wants $5k for it.

No shipping or parting the quad out.
Give me a holler if you know somebody who is interrested and ill get them hooked up.

i am actually considering it but i dont have the cash and i also want to get a gearbox(toy camper) so we can all lounge in style at the races. decisions , decisions. hehe

[greghall]

Get a nice trailer & set it up, you have a awsome truck so all you need is a 6x12 or 7x14 .Thats all you need for two bikesI wish Richie got a 12 footer so my bike would fit in it too but he didnt think I was going to get another bike. If he knew it he said he would have got the 12 footer.

[seatec]

It would be nice to have a toy box though. With a nice quite onan 5500 generator we could be sitting in air conditioning or in the winter with heat. good stuff.

[Pappy]

i think thats why i dont like traveling to race. i cant handle a 7 hour ride home with baboon ***:(

a proper set up with a shower and ac could help me in a big way:p

[seatec]

oh yeah. id use the outside shower though otherwise you have to clean all the tanks out before you park it. You are an exhibitionist anyway. :D

[Pappy]

there aint noway id shower outside...it would be more like me washing my gear while still wearing it. too many practical jokers that know me for that stuff:p

[seatec]

i hear ya. :D

[seatec]

you know, i know i am on a Honda based site but don't people get a little tired of putting in their little jabs about the YFZ not being mechanically sound? it gets a little tiring to hear that somebody had absolutely no mechanical problems after switching from YFZ to TRX. Now, i am the first to admit that for that particular person that may very well be true and that the YFZ had its share of minor infancy problems.But it still not very nice to keep emphasizing that point while other riders have hardly any problems with the YFZ. I hope i don't get flamed for this but it's an observation about little comments that are being made here and there.

Oh well, i just have to grow thicker skin i guess. :D

good point!

Pappy, you are very enlightened.:D

[Pappy]

i look at it like this.


if someone posts only that "the yfz is junk" or "the yfz falls apart" yet doesnt follow it up with factual first hand knowledge i figure its just someone who has no life and can only find the negative in anything.(sometimes i search the member and usually alot of thier posts are negative) maybe lack of sex...small pecker syndrome or just plain ignorance is the cause.

if someone posts a real issue im all ears. if its man made it will and can break. and yamaha hasnt had the track record honda has so some BS is too be expected.

Man most of the people ask or start the stupidist threads most of them are kids,MACHINES break no matter who makes them I work on Dodge trucks they have there proplems Chevy has there proplem same arguement,or chevy vs. ford who cares XC racing & MX is ALL RIDER NOT WHAT BRAND BIKE YOU HAVE THE BIKE IS NOT GOING TO WIN THE RACE FOR YOU!!!YOU WILL!!If you mantain the bike it will finish. I'm a Honda man but I started Racing XC on a BANSHEE & never had a DNF because on my merticuless preperation of my bike when everybody elses Banshee would blow up.Im tired of Honda guys craping on the YFZ & the MAGAZINES & EVERYBODY WHO HATES THE TRX because it dons'nt have the e-button & in alittle slower in stock form than the YFZ.The YFZ should have won bike of the year last year & the TRX should win this year but The TRX will not win because of all the hype that the new R was expected to be (god could not have made the bike to live up to the hype)thats my 2 cents

[greghall]

I love to talk racing & look at the awsome race coverage that Pappy & Harlen put on here,not half the stupid chit on here that most people post

[greghall]

You are right Pappy but the mags would have found something wrong with it

[Pappy]

lol...

what cracks me up is when a thread is started and theres 5 other threads asking the same questions from that very day.

its all good. some of the best info is buried deep within a totally BS filled thread:p

i also think its really cool when we are done posting coverage, then we get the members that raced the event to post about thier stories from that race. it really does make it interesting.

[greghall]

You are right Pappy, I needed to know how to hook up my kill switch & sombody gave me the correct answer in 1/2 hour,& about 20 other people just started talking about somthing else completly different on the thread.But this is still by far the BEST atv site!!!

dont worry fellas...i dont mind taking pictures at all. harlen even says its safer for me:mad:

[YLW400]

Maybe I should take that up...Heck, it is cheaper too!! lol

[seatec]

i don't know if its cheaper man. those cameras cost a hefty sum!


As for quads being equal. I am in absolute agreements.
I don't even care when somebody blatantly says that either the YFZ or the TRX sux. because is very apparent the person in question is a dumb*****. it's the little jabs that sting. you guys are right though. shrug it off and move on.

As for this weekend. what are we doing?

i want somebody to set up a race where a team of two 1 mx'er and 1 Xc'er) do respectively one lap on the track and one in the woods.

So, the XC'er would do a woods loop and then when he crosses a certain line the MX'er takes off and does like 2 laps on the MX track or enough laps to equal the distance and or energy used to do the XC loop. wadda ya think? see any logistical problems?

other than the winy ***** mx'er complaining how their riding is much more difficult.:devil: OK bring it on YLW. lol

[Pappy]

hahaha...i forgot about them at first. then on like the 3rd lap i was gonna "ham" it up and when i got to the top of the hill they were gone. i think they moved just up from there tho so they should have gotton some decent footage

isnt it funny how we "just cannot be caught slacking off " by spectators with cameras.:D

Well guys I'm going fishing Friday taking a break from riding this weekend,going to get the bike ready for Budds on may 2nd,going to do some bicycle rider to try to get my legs in shape so I can at least stand up a little at Budds so I can hang with those guys like cletus EX and his buddys they will be fast at Budds.A good start & no mistakes is what it takes to win at Budds,Hope we have a good turn out because the GNCC is the day before.

You won't have a problem hanging with me at Budds. That was my best race yet up at Tomahawk and you still beat me.:D Usually it is my brother and my buddy Brian (white yfz) who are taking home the trophies. And now that 250rxcrider is on a 4 stroke I gotta worry about him.:( But I just like getting out there and racing, it doesn't matter if everyone is faster than me if I run a clean race and the quad survives I'm happy.

Seatec, I'm still on the 400ex. I wish I had a yfz.:)

[cletusEX]

And for riding this weekend I don't know if Tomahawk is open on Saturday for practice due to the mx race on Sunday. I would be up for Rausch Creek. We should all figure out something.

[seatec]

well, here is your oportunity. my buddy is selling his yfz for 5 grand.

Michia Henery won the B class do you guys know him,I remember the name when I raced but can't put a face to it,I was 1 min. off second & 3 min. off first. I was very surprised with my finish since alot of guys passed me on the start.250RXCrider retiring the R?

Greg,

Ya the R is going into retirement. I wish I could clean it up real good, shrink wrap it and put it in the corner:(

Micah Henry is a fast guy, he rides a red 400EX and I know he also has a blue YFZ. Cletus's brother and our buddy Brian (white YFZ) our always battling with him. There is always some fun competition in the 4 stroke B class.

You figure out how many races you need to run the 250r in order to get a year end award? I would think about buying it but I have no money and I might have finally got the 400 running right. Wait till next race and if I break down shoot me a price.;)

[greghall]

District &'s classes need restructuring. They really need to change somthing A is just pratice for Andy & poor Jesse is made to run A,2 stroke is dead.They need maybe A,VET,B,C (any kind of bike in any class 2 or 4 stroke)or Really make the top 5 or so from last year move to A or VET(if over 30)something needs to happen.

[cletusEX]

Originally posted by greghall

He's already got a 450R.

I agree on the classes. If they had A, B, C, and Vet classes the competition would be more even. I think it would also help improve rider ability. The only way you're going to get faster is by going out there and battling with people. The more people equally matched the greater the competition.

[greghall]

450R good choice put on a 13T front sprocket,tires,etc. & he's good to go also turn the clickers all soft & take out all the preload,mine was flawless Sunday.As for classes something needs to change to keep Quad HS healthy in disct. 7..

[250RXCrider]

I am excited to be on a four stroke and I can't wait to go riding this weekend. I have a 13 tooth sproket to put on and a set of Razor 2's. I am going to steal a couple of things off my 250R and I am looking forward to running Budds on the 2nd. Although if it is nasty and muddy I might have to run old reliable.

[greghall]

Do that & see if you like it.If you are heavy you might have to go up a little but I wieght around 185 & mine could be a little softer to suit me.

[Ericthered rdr]

Damn guys I have had to work some crazy hours the past two days and it looks like today is going to be another long one. I worked 18 hours on Mon and 17 yesterday. I still haven't even cleaned the quad yet from Tomahawk. Well I am back out the door and hopefullhy I will get a chance to jump in on some of the convo tonight. I am recommending Raush Creek on Saturday, actually my boys are begging me to take them there again. Later.

i'd go to rausch as well. its all the same to me. the misses wants me out of the house on both saturday and sunday so im footloose.

Oh, time to call Dirisi to see if my shocks are shipping yet. would be nice if i could tune them before the next race.

[seatec]

Well, My SPRINGS arent in yet. i guess ill be waiting some more until they are done. bummer cause a buddy of mine got his notice yesterday that his where shipping already and he sent his in on the same day i did. i think the issue is that i need heavier springs and needed to be ordered. Santos said id have them before Budds though so that cool. might need some of your guys help to properly tune the shocks though.

That one thing I don't know to much about I've always got my shocks as soft as I could & its worked well for me,you will have to tune them for you ,Heads up on Budds it gets bumpy & rutted out some of those breaking bumps on those hill will beat you up.so if your stiffly suspened it will beat you around.

GLAD SH is still useable. I was going to spend a lot of morning there to get conditioned. All of us MD riders should chip and buy some land up in PA just over the border and and just use it for HS practice.:D

[seatec]

Greg, the suspension should be nice and smooth since its being built for XC. the spring should have enough spunk for me to turn the pre load way down.

[greghall]

Seatec I'll let you buy the land & i'll come & ride on it .

[seatec]

you know guys. i was going to buy one of them cool Toy haulers with living quarters and let you guys lounge in it and enjoy the generator AC unit but now I'm getting second thoughts here.:devil:

you are going to have to teach me about this dumb ***** computer these things suck,I'll take a engine & tear it down & put it back before I understand why the stuff that messes these puters up happens, any day over one of these!!

I would just like to know how to put a avatar of my bike under my name!

Greg, easy.
First create a small picture of you quad.
Then go to the user cp area on this website.(you will find the button for that to-wards the top of this page. once in the user cp area select the Edit profile options button. to-wards the bottom of that page there will be an place that says change avatar. Select that button and that will take you to the avatar page. select the Custom avatar option and then click the browse button to select the picture you want to use as your avatar. the browse button will take you to your own hard drive and you have to go to the right folder on your computer where the picture resides.

[greghall]

how do you make the picture small enough it says mine is to large

[seatec]

do you have a photo editor like imaging? look under accessories!
let me know

[Pappy]

the picture will have to be under 65 x 65 pixels.

[seatec]

Pappy what do you use to make a pic adhere to the 65 pixel?

Greg. if you have problems getting the pic small enough just send it to me and ill fix it for you.

[Pappy]

i have photoshop and photostudio

[seatec]

Guys I dont think I can get it small enough,I'll wait till I get my pics of my bike that I took before the race developed & put on CD & I will send some to you Seatec so you can shrink them.

[seatec]

Seatec is the name and shrinking is my game.:D

[greghall]

My computer sucks I need a new one MSN dial up is slow I hate computers:grr: Seatec what do you think about the Emachines that best buy has for around $500.I was told to get one with a athlon processer too.The guy told me the parts are all the same inside no matter what brand in that true.

[seatec]

those machines are ok but yo can get a dell for the same amount of money and if you hang around and wait for a special you do even better. thewy also have pretty good financing.

i just like dell for desktops and servers. good stuff and reliable componants.

Ive ridden at least every weekend since september and Ive only had problems once, I have seen them in 2-3 other occasions but thats it. Even if I do get a $500 fine every now and then its still cheaper then driving all the way out to who the hell knows where and paying for gas, to ride etc...

in front of koons?? I dont ever remember him going over there (I rode with him all day.) you mean in front of the american stone mix place? It may have been someone else, he has a red kawasaki at the moment. Greg, where about do you live?

[chucked]

I got my dyna ignition today, I was running on curve 4 all day long and I didnt notice anything, I was pissed and took it to my neighbors, he said read the freekin instructions (well I found out that curve 4 was stock) Well it seems that curve 2 rips on the bottom end, and it puts the rev limiter up to almost 10,000, So I got more top end also. In a few weeks he's gonna put it on the dyno and make an ignition curve thats even more advanced, I think the most they do with this is 2 degrees.

[greghall]

he was comming outof the swamp behind lowes,red bike with a big cooler on the front & one on the back dont ask what he was doing down there its alittle wierd I think.

[seatec]

comming out of the swamp???

[Ericthered rdr]

Damn 22 hours strait yesterday! and gonna try again tonight. I'll have some new shocks soon.:macho :blah:

Has anyone heard anything about the DVD guys. I want to see some footage from Tomahawk.

[seatec]

Eric, you are nuts working that long. What shocks are you going for? ELka's?

[Ericthered rdr]

I think Elka's are the way to go?!? I heard they ship fast and make a damn good shock. I have even put thought into that 450 for sale but I think the one I have suits my style and I am just going to beef up the suspension and steering and ride the hell out of it. I just have to figure a way to get 3g's out the door without the wife noticing it:devil:

[seatec]

you are just to f'n lazy to pull your quad out of a tight spot. Used to the reverse, aren't you!?!:devil:

[greghall]

[redhondi400]

I know most of you guys are from balitmore county and parts of harford county. Besides the track do any you guys ride in southern PA or Cecil County. I live by the Conowingo dam. There is a lot more land out here, so there is no reason there are not places out here. Every place is in Bel Air or Fallston. If there were places out here less moron will ride out here. I'm just trying to find a nice place to ride. :)

[seatec]

I'm just trying to find a nice place to ride.

Don't we all.


Eric. dont listen to them. buy the YFZ i told you about for that special friend price. lol Do not go to the dark side! :devil:


Greg, i just bought some Hi-Five cab clearance lights for my Truck. Are they hard to put in? Mybe i should ask eric cause he is always messing around with electrical car stuff. Probably need eric to crawl on the cab and drill the holes anyway because i would probably dent the sh$t out of the roof.

[Ericthered rdr]

I would buy a 450 in a heart beat if racing was my only concern but I like the e-botton and have gotten spoiled buy having reverse. When I go joy riding with my boys it is perfect for me plus it is smooth and has the most comfortable seat I have ever sat on. I am in no hurry to jump up in power either. I have come close to getting the hole shot in the last two races and all I have is a full pipe and jetting. I like both of the 450's but neither are the quad for me. Neither has reverse (which I have used in both races and alot just riding around) the honda has no e-button and the Yam is not set up for a guy as small as me, 155 5'6" plus it has the most uncomfortable seat. I would have to spend some money in either of the two to get them to work with my size and weight. I could pick out differences all day long on pro's and conn's of each but I must say I really enjoy the quad I have and don't mind spending some extra to turn it into the quad one of the manufactures should have built.:devil:

Oh and all the machine in the world ain't chit if you aint got the stamina to race it..... that is my main concern right now. I will be in excelent shape in 90 days mark my words. I just wish I wouldn't have waited so long to realize I am so out of shape:macho

You have just reminded me that my uncle lives off of Liberty grove rd. and Basin run he has property to ride on, hmmm........

[greghall]

Eric my boy I'll just let you ride my bike if want to see what smooth is.As for the E-button DON'T STALL it I only stalled it twice during the race & it was fatigue that caused it,Man that R is smooth & comfortable I'll let you ride nexst time we get together ,Seatec rode it he will tell you how it felt it s even better know with the clikers adjusted soft.Reverse is never needed:devil:

[seatec]

Fine. be like that! lol

Really, the TRX is very smooth right out of the box. something i hope i will have to once the Dirisi shocks come back. i am seriously thinking about the GYTR +1 arms because i can them adjust the camber a little to suit my riding.
A +4oz flywheel wouldnt hurt my quad either.

[greghall]

Seatec I just heard Santo had some more proplems at Lorretta's I dont know what happened but there might be some more Honda's on the line real soon:D :devil:

[greghall]

LOL:devil:

[seatec]

yeah yeah. laugh it up Honda Boy. hehe

Even if i wanted to, i have so much money in my quad that i would take a bath trying to sell it.

[Ericthered rdr]

Greg, I think you are blinded by red!!!!

I rode Seatec's YFZ and that thing just had some sick *** top end but the geometry was all wrong. I sat on an R and it too is for you tower types. I am sticking with the green machine anyway I thought I told you green is the color of envy. I have had hondas since1977 and man I tell you they run forever hence my handle Ericthe"red" rdr (should of thought of that before I got a green quad hugh) Oh and as much as I like the red one and the green one I have the blue Yamaha YFZ 450 is the best looking quad made period.

[seatec]

i was with you all the way until you made that last comment about the blue looking the best. WHat do you know suzuki boy.:D

[YLW400]

Hey guyyyyyyssssss.... Did you see the Tomahawk thread yet??? Seatec and Cletus are eye-balling a MX race!!:p :devil: Come to our side, it's much more enjoyable :D lol:blah:

[seatec]

YLW. i really do like mx. not as much as XC but enough to want to do a race even if it is to build stamina. Can you sketch me a typical race day? how many races and time intervals?

I am wondering what i would have to do to my yfz to use it for XC and mx? shocks and wheels would be it i guess.
Maybe some +1 a-arms and a slighly wider axle. dont want to have to take arms and axles plus shocks out everytime i ride XC or MX.

[YLW400]

Sure man, no problem....

Get there between 7-8, and go register..Unload, check the practice schedule...I know at Budds we usually practice at 10:20....I'm not sure what this weekend will bring though..You will run practice for about 15-20 minutes...as much, or less as you want....Come off of the track, do whatever until your moto is up...Typically quads are later in the day, don't ask why, that's just the way it is..lol Run what they call 4 laps...basically 3 1/2 though...and that's it until next moto...You run two motos a day, excluding practice...I would say anywhere between 15 and 25 different motos..........You have alot of time between 1st and 2nd motos though.... Like a few hours.......I think I covered it all...lol

you could probably run some MX with +1......But obviously the wider you are, the faster you can carve turns.....Do HS guys run aftermarket axels? What kind of tires are you running?

I love xc racing, but it's pretty nice to air it out every once and a while. Also you gotta love the speed factor. I'm thinking about showing up on Sunday but just to have fun, I'm not too competitive out there on the mx track, but I like the atmosphere at mx races. You get to watch some pretty sick riders!

[Pappy]

at TMX you will be fine with the XC set up. the track isnt hardpacked and the turns arent too flat. if i run i wont change a thing

[YLW400]

You should come out Cletus....I think I may have Seatec talked into it.....lol It sounds like Andy is going to be there..Delaware152, and Pgregg will be there..All three awesome riders.... It will be a good day, that's for sure...

[Pappy]

what class should i run if i decide to race it?

[seatec]

Be there between 7 or 8? dang. id have to leave at like 5am to make it.

Yeah I keep the big tires on that way those mx boys don't expect too much from ya;)

My buddy Brian and I raced a mx race up at Tomahawk last Nov. and you should have seen some of the looks they where giving to his oversized clarke tank on his 400ex. They couldn't understand why he needed that much gas. :p

come up saturday...either camp or grab a hotel room

with my weight i should turn the clickers up though don't you think?

YLW. i run 22 in front and 20 in back RazrII all around. i could put the stock yfz tires . i thik they are smaller and more suitable. for my ridng style (if thats what you call it) i think i would do fine with the stockers.

[Pappy]

i would turn them up some to help with corners and a bit on the jumps. i may run it just for more seat time.

[YLW400]

C is always the largest.....Vet is the smallest, by far....B isn't too bad of a class..A is very fast as usual..lol.....There are sometimes some squirrels in C class though....alot of people don't hold their lines, sometimes making it hard to pass.....

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. The more seat time the better. Also it never hurts to get a little mx track practice. Look at some of the passes made at the Loretta Lynn GNCC.

[Pappy]

you cant beat riding period:D

[YLW400]

Yea stock maybe a little lighter due to less plys and obviously smaller. Plus you will get a little more bottom with the smaller tires......I Would keep the suspension up though Seatec....

[Pappy]

and i still dont have a kill switch on my R...any problems with that:confused:

[YLW400]

I don't know if they will enforce it at a district race...but if you could i would grab one anway, just to be safe...for you, and the quad...lol Mooseracing would be able to tell you for sure though..

[Pappy]

i could run the yfz its ready, but i dont have number plates either. i geuss they wont want me to stop and get scanned:D

[YLW400]

You need at least a rear number plate, with number on both rear fenders..and a number plate on the front or on your hood.......I have both on the front from the national..lol

Looks like I will be breaking out the electrical tape for some numbers:D

[seatec]

forgot about that. i would have to get some numbers plates but i don't yet know my D7 numbers though. Also, i signed up for D-7 but for HS quad. does that make a difference or do i also have to sign up to D-7 for quad MX?

[YLW400]

That I am not sure of Seatec...lmao Cletus..I have seen worse dude..lol

Greg, I think you are blinded by red!!!!

I rode Seatec's YFZ and that thing just had some sick *** top end but the geometry was all wrong. I sat on an R and it too is for you tower types. I am sticking with the green machine anyway I thought I told you green is the color of envy. I have had hondas since1977 and man I tell you they run forever hence my handle Ericthe"red" rdr (should of thought of that before I got a green quad hugh) Oh and as much as I like the red one and the green one I have the blue Yamaha YFZ 450 is the best looking quad made period. Seatec's bike is SUPER fast I rode & I told him it was smokin fast,alos I do like the look of the YFZ its a cool looking bike I was going to buy one but the price was too steap & anyway I got a killer deal on my R,Get your shocks dialed in & you will be set I was just messin with you anyway:D
