  1. I take that route and always drive the speed limit through town. I travel light so I never have a trailer.
  2. 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..
  3. drag race it's safer.... glad you are basicly ok.
  4. you guys are too uptight...LOL
  5. 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.
  6. 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?
  7. Bowl of Death. We made that by riding in both directions at once.
  8. 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..
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. can we drag race in the parking lot?
  12. I'll bring mine by, any chance to show off a little.
  13. Greats pics guys,. Ocean I like the way you have that LTr set up.
  14. finally got the +4 swingarm spacer... maybe now I can actually use the HP instead of pointing the nose to the sky on the starting line....
  15. Yes the difference is... mine is still a KFX...LOL ....CAR engine. ..LOL It's awesome though.
  16. 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!!!
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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...
