So what would it take to switch routes from Vegas
metalalien replied to ynot's topic in Dumont Regulations, Safety & BLM
I take that route and always drive the speed limit through town. I travel light so I never have a trailer. -
I'm glad I could bring a bit of mystery to all of your lives. Imagine a world where there are only ATVs and suddenly you see a bike... that was the joke in the 2nd post..

here are a few more..

What bike has more potential yfz450 or banshee?
metalalien replied to Vegas YFZ's topic in ATV / Motorcycle Talk
We've yet to see a four stroke (quad engine) built in the same way as one of those drag shess. I'd like to see a four stroke engine from a quad (not a streetbike motor): Billet everything. big titanium valves. intercooled turbo. 35psi boost. runnning alky with a dash of nitro. Spraying a splash of NOS. HPR is doing something like that (minus the turbo) to run heavy nitromethan with a DS650. I feel like we need to stick with turbos/blowers, whatever. The nature of a 2stroke pipe gives a bike like a banshee sort of a fake turbo. It actually sucks the cylinder clean and then forces it overfull on the rebound pulse. A good 2stroke pipe does much of what we use a turbo/blower for. We are bringing in our high compression, cammed, big bore, bikes and competing with a banshee that has almost nothing left on them that still factory and we wonder why we lose... I think the real problem is for the less money we can just do a conversion bike and run a streetbike motor. That's what guys do instead of really build a 4 stroke quad engined banshee killer. -
Awesome, that's a good idea... strip off one front and one rear tire to lighten the quad up... that will really rip up banshee hill! Must have done a lot of frame work to get the bike to ride true. That's a YFZ right?

Bowl of Death. We made that by riding in both directions at once.

Yea everyone was real nice, Ken has a great shop there. The food was nice there was plently of soda and it was overcast outside so it wasn't too hot. My cameras batteries were nearly dead when I showed up so I only took a few shots of the bike and stuff. I misssed all the cool stuff like the mini go-cart rally racing (complete with water ballons) oh and little things like taking pictures of the people at the party.....LOL I tried just before we started to leave but it was too dark for video.... OH well Dunefreak will have lots of pics. I sure wish more bikes had showed up. I would have loved to seen some of the drag Zs of 700rs or whatever. We were taking turns in the parking lot doing burn outs. Throw a little water on the ground and see how long you could hold it. That actually lasted a couple hours (maybe 6 burnouts) before the people next door freaked out...LOL That put an end to the loud bikes but not the quiet Can-am... Wheelie time! I had alot of fun. Nice people..
-
Yea that was very nice. It only took a half day of drinking before I got them to let me ride around in the parking lot...LOL I'll report more tomorrow so here are a few pics for ya. I didn't video much or take many pics... we were just hanging out. Video- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFWFzLYPitw

We used to pick up money from that Nathans and the manager was such a jerk. When we heard of this we thought, either he got bombed or did the bombing... But it turns out it was unrelated.
-
can we drag race in the parking lot?
-
I'll bring mine by, any chance to show off a little.
-
Greats pics guys,. Ocean I like the way you have that LTr set up.
-
NICE!!! Can't wait until next year.

metalalien replied to sanddunesaddict's topic in ATV / Motorcycle Talk

METALALIEN MADE DIRTWHEELS MAY EDITION!
metalalien replied to Richard Cheese's topic in ATV / Motorcycle Talk
Whoops missed this thread...LOL Yes that was kinda cool.. the KFX700 doesn't get much attention in the mags. In fact I think that was the first KFX with more than double the stock RWHP to ever appear in a mag.. Here's the full page. Funny thing is.. a couple of years ago I got a full page and a cover shot just for putting a fake gatling gun on the bike...LOL i guess superchargers don't carry as much weight. http://www.angelfire.com/al/metalalien/pun...dirtwheels1.JPG http://www.angelfire.com/al/metalalien/pun...sher_story1.JPG http://www.angelfire.com/al/metalalien/pun...r_cover_new.JPG thanks for posting that!!! -
Sorry, I scared them all away.
-
Will do!
-
You guys notice the bike still had more than enough torque to break those tires loose...LOL It will be more fun when I get the swingarm extension because I will be able to leave the footpegs on...ha ha. I did put the plastic back on but for the high speed runs I took it off again.
-
hey just wanted to update this.. didn't try 30" tires yet... But I did try some 35" tires....LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nihcviSYKJM These were real cheap.. only a 100 bucks for the set because the paddles were all torn up. I cut them off just to play around with them.

ouch!

metalalien replied to metalalien's topic in ATV / Motorcycle Talk
No no it's too late... I challenge you to a Rock off! Give me one chance to rock your socks off! I love how you guys hated the Crue but no one said anything about the Tenacious D music...LOL Oh and yes you are not cool unless you like the Crue... sorry I don't make the rules..... I will do another video using Ashley Simpson, maybe you'll like that music...
