-
you going to reno with the guys? i think im taking my front out wednesday when i come up, im tired of feeling like i rolled down a mountain after i get done riding.
-
You ride it yet?
-
im hoping to get out this afternoon,weather permiting.
-
Drizzle here until 3 pm if you believe the forecast ???

I rode in the rain for 6 hours last night.No bottoming outat all. Normally i could only put in 2nd gear because it was so rough.last night i was cranking in 3rd :thumbs: So for everyone who has a 700 with the lesser quality front shocks,put one of these lowering kits on and go trail ride on some rough trails for a few days. Then come home and remove it and go ride the same trails again. You will more than appreciate the lower quality shocks :rofl:I got drenched and i also got a speeding ticket on the way home early this morning in renovo. I got lucky because i had about a 6 pack of beer in me at that point,and they only gave me a ticket for not obeying traffic control devices.My one buddy was following me and he had about a 12 pack in him and we made our dual exhaust talk a little more than the piggy's liked.They were going to site me for drag racing but cut me a break because i have a cdl and they didnt want to effect my job 8). But all in all i had a kick ass day
-
way to go you idiot!... i hope you didnt tell my mom that! she said your already in the dog house hahaha :rofl:
so you got one problem solved and now you have another :lol:
-
Yeah she knows.Its actually fun to do wheelies know. and since powder coater is building my drag struts that should cure the wheelieproblem at least for the drag's.Its just nice to finally enjoy riding for the first time all summer
-
Oh yeah i almost forgot, i had to straighten my front bumper. a bunch of us were dicking off in the mud trying to plaster each other. Needless to say i stopped in a nice big goopy mud hole and did a 2nd gear wholeshot on the rev limiter. well i couldnt get the front end down and get stopped in time before rearending a polaris sportsman 700 :lol: its all good just the bumper not the frame thank GERD. cant even tell know
-
haha oh ok well in that case, good to hear you got it all fixed up. :clap:
so who all went this time?
-
Good to hear badazz, you like the rear link flipped?
-
yeahi like therearlink being flipped.kept a little lower stance,yet didnt effect the ride. Well i cant really say that :lol: considering my quad rode like an amish buggy.I m just happy to not be hurting one bit after riding. before it took 2 days to recover from riding for just a few hours. Exentix,all the same people as last time went.Plus the guy with the ds650 wentthis time,he is the one i was (drag racing) :lol:
-
badazz you should get a CCP steering stabilizer ;)
-
Bert i will eventually get a steering stabilizer but i need to get a new stem and handle bars from a previous incident :(
-
How were the drags?
-
They were pretty good last month.ran 5.1's and 5.2's in the 300' dirt drag, the front end still wanted to lift so i would have to let off and get back into it.Also the 60' times were over 2 seconds because of traction issues and having to feather the throttle. So im hoping these strutts from powder coater and a temporary wheelie bar will get me into the upper 4's this month.
-
heck yes =) as far as i kno my dads still lettin me come :clap:
-
Sweet.Im going to go eat and then probably goto work for a 13 or 14 hour shift. I called off saturday night,So have to make up some money :'(
-
Dirt drags sound fun. :thumbs: Do you like the rear shock a little soft for the drags or....
-
he doesnt like the shocks at all apparently, hes gettin a wheelie bar and struts made :lol:
