the day i got my rappie was back in november of 2007  alright so heres the story i stop riding in 2005 sold my warrior when i was 13 years old after 2 years i been missing going to the desert and riding with my friends and family so i decided shoping for another quad i had 5k to spend of my own money so i was shopping around for another warrior like my old one then i saw the raptor 350 and shop around for those after riding a couple of them i wanted to buy one well my dad told me not to get one cause there mostly for beginers and they are slow and told me to get a 450 so satisfy my speed well in ocotober we went on our  fishing trip to san felipe well my uncle took his 700 and one of my friends let me borrow his yfz 450 to try it out well when we went to san felipe i saw my old warrior that i sold to one of my dads friend that went with us camping well when i rode the yfz it was fast and light and wanted one then my uncle told me if i wanted to try out his 700 and i did and wow i know what i wanted to buy well when we got back i was shopping for a 700 but i saw the 660 and went shopping for one casue i said that was the perfect size for me to get use to riding again well i origally i found an 2003 660 the black ad red one well we went to go see it and when the guy went to turn it one and rev it i wanted to get it the 660 came with a big gun exhaust thats what turn me on to get it well me had the cash and we bought it but once we give him the  cash he told us that he lost then the next day him and my dad went to the dmv to get a new pink slip they couldnt cause the guy needed a paper sign by his mom will it took two weeks and he still didnt get the pink slip well we saw my blue 04 raptor for sale and my dad was forced to buy it cause when he was test driveing it he crashed it to his truck by accident cause my bike had a twist throttle and my dad wasnt use to it well my dad bought the bike then he called me and told me he bought so he picked me up at my moms house and took me to plams avenue to try out my 660 well when i first got on it i shited my pants cause of the twist throttle well after i rode it the raditor was leaking  so we went to the dealer ship and my dad bought me new razer 2 and a thumb thottle and thats how i got my660 but the funny thing is that now im shopping for a 700 and i have the money but im still debateing bettween a 08 se2 or the 09 se ???

thats like a book. I'd go 09 :grin_nod:

i been thinking of going with the 09 im i been calling my dealers to see if they have any leftover 07 700 se2 the white and blue one

I hate white cars and atvs and stuff but I love that one and especially the YFZ for that year. and the orange and black one :nana:

but of course blue is faster

well the first time i baught my ktm

i was looking to sell my quad for a bike. well after not being able to ride  for  month and finding a deal for an 08 ktm 250sx for 3700 my dad said he would help me out. the bike sold and i was pissed about it cause i kno i would never get a deal like that again. so we found a deal for a brand new 06 suzuki rmz 450 for 4500. i caled u pthe dealership , they said they had it in stock. drove an hour to the place. they didnt have it. all they had was an 06 yami 450. i asked the guy if he could pull it out so i could sit on it. gu ysays " nahh thats too hard. come back tomorow if you want too" i just looked at my dad and we were outa there. we went to the ktm dealership right in my town and i loved the shop because the guy there is so knowledgable and he suggested the bike i get and we landed on the 250xcf. it ended with a purchase and a verry happy kid. know i gota work my ass off and work my as of sellign it
