Been away from thr forum for about a year now , and didnt ride the rappies for almost a year and a half ....
Six Years ago we bought a half built house from a local bank and spent four years saving . The reason to buy the house was the attached wharehouse, destined to be my raptor workshop. I caught raptor fever around 3
years ago , used to be a two wheel bloke , but like the rappies much more now....
Did a bit of lurking to check how to do stuff , learned the hard way that you simply must import everthing from the states... most people in Spain dont mod much , beyond a zorst and filter , and the bits are generally unavailable. Anyway , the whole deal is ready now and I'm going to start modding like crazy ... we generaly ride 3 days a week and we have every type of terain apart from sand direct from the house. We plan to go to North Africa at some point... but thats another story. Did the entire workshop build myself , loving it :clap:
( Please I'm not trying to show off or look cool , I'm Just trying to share my incredible joy )
That's awesome!!! Nice shop!! And welcome to raptorsource :clap:
very nice place man. that is my dream to one day have a shop like that. but all good things come with time i guess.
That is freakin awesome! :thumbs:
very very nice!
I am jealous. welocme to the site :thumbs:
This is the first Raptor 700 ... started as second hand 2006 special edition and ended up as "the beast" currently waiting for Hinson clutch to arrive
Alloy air box , K&N , PCM3 , DMC Duals , Elkas , Trinity Big Bore , Stage 3 web cams , + 2 lone star A arms ,
+ 2 lone star swing arm , +3 lonestar axle and carrier , alloy hubs , hipercarbon wheels , Garmin Gps fixed on
wing , PCM control screen on handelbars ( currently drying out from dump into river ) lone star stem , steering stabiliser ... bla bla ... I kind found that the elka's and the stabiliser where the best mods , and I needed the + 2 swingarm after the big bore kit because I could not get traction.
you need to talk to Kev, at Joker's Vault Racing. He's doing allot of international stuff now. Turbo Raptors etc. :nod:

The future son of beast ... 2008 with elkas ( I got adjustable fronts for this one , but they dont seem a whole lot better ) waiting for the rest of the mods .....
Anyway , we need to get the 660 to be able to follow the 700's .... need advice. And my wife's wolverine 450 is a bit "limp" even after the exhaust and K&N , but it was either automatic or no go , and she wanted a small
quad ... so any help with that also greatly apreciated.

wolverine HMF exhaust, K&N intake, no airbox lid, and a bigger jet.
660 the same. will be a wheelie machine! But 660 suspension needs alot of help to keep up with 700's :thumbs:
Ralph, your shop, and your rides, are awesome. My jealousy meter is pegged. :thumbs:

And also any forum members visiting Spain can are welcome to come and ride here at any time , just bring yourselves , I have spare kit , red wine , beer and I wish I could offer a 18 year old Cameron Diaz lookakike au pair , but My wife ( the unreasonable bitch :P ) wont let me hire one.

Where you at in Spain?
Lady4Fiddi's Grandmother lives there in Valencia (sp?), and we're wanting to visit someday soon.
Aaron
:lol:
Let me rephrase all these responses... In a nutshell:
We are envious, and we hate you. Thanks for coming. :lol: :lol: :lol:
so are you a spaniard, or just living in spain?
Thanx for the comments ! I REALLY meen come riding . I am British , but have lived in Avila ( around 60 miles
north of Madrid , up a mountain 1500 meters above sea level ) bout a 3 hour drive from Valencia. My In laws
live there. Been living here 17 years now. Yeah , Im old :(
Now the next part is simply showing off ... so you can hate me some more.... :D
nice!
really wanna annoy some these guys? DO you follow football? (soccer to some)
But the most important quad of all is an untuned ligier 50 cc 12 BHP quad I am trying to teach my 2 year old son to drive ( he can acelerate , but not brake or turn corners , so he kinda takes after Daddy )
And what our labrador puppy thinks about all the hard work I put in on the workshop :D
lol that puppy knows how we feel then.... :lol: Just kiddin'
yeah , I want to annoy some guys .... :D
I dont follow football because we played rugby at school , same as your "football" but we dont use 50 pounds
of protective gear and take so many steroids we grow tits .... :P
was that annoying enough or should I explain why baseball is just fucked up cricket ?
( Love the US , been a bunch of times , mostly Texas )

rugby is awesome! but doesn't get much coverage here anymore. So I watch english football.
and...cricket is F**ked up on it's own. :lol:
Also, I would love to visit spain someday!
Wow, that's just awesome!
Even a car lift in there... :(
bastard.
Rugby is fun watching. I got sucked into the AFL (Aussie Rules Football)
Yep , unfortunatly baseball is unfuckaled cricket ... even though we don't usually admit it
99% of English people don't understand the rules .... so I'm Pretty glad no one called me
on that one...
