You definitely need to get that quad freshened up, it's a very cool unique machine. One of a kind for sure.

The only one I have actually met in person is Todd, even that was a couple of years ago. Todd and Ed Teixeira raced against us one year in BITD. All the others I have heard the names before except for Alan, but have never met any of them. I have raced against Mitch and Bingo in BITD and have spoken to Mitch a few times by e-mail, but have never actually met him face to face.

Steve Abbot is either owner or co-owner of atv cycle sports, he's almost always in there.

What was the rational behind using such short shocks?

[fearlessfred]

this bike was built in the mid 90s and no one was using long shocks than,but just the same the piston diameter is is 1 3/4 inchs which is a large volume of oil and would basicly be the same as being longer the shock does not get hot. the air springs do get warm , but the air spring does most of the compression dampening
