That's kinda what I was thinking. I gotta talk to my brother and see what his plans are.

Seatec what do you mean doping or do you mean performance enhancing drugs,As everybody knows almost every top athelte does or has taken somthing I would'nt be surprised.I wish I could of had a IV at tomahawk

I think Richie is going to Tower City Sunday with his kid & somebody from his work.MY ***** I not healed up yet
Posted by: seatec
greg what do you mean with every top athlete takes something? like what?
Posted by: greghall
like Steroids or something,Blood doping=adding more red blood cells so you can deliver more oxygen to your muscles it all works.
Posted by: seatec
yeah, that was a big thing with tour de france competitors. theyd get an infusion of red blood cell rich blood before they went into the mountains.
Posted by: greghall

weird questions in that email greg. are you going to answer all of them?
Posted by: redhondi400
Man, it is sad to see no places to ride, due to morons ruining it for us. There should be a riding club in Harford county, anyone agree? I would join if there was one.
Posted by: greghall
It always hurts worst 48hr after the race then the third day is good.What do you think about that e-mail Seatec,I want to see the whole race with everybody.No i'm not going to answer them if Im going to pay for it I want the whole race.

I would love to be part of a club where I could ride legally. Even if it was a time share thing. But what sucks is that alot will boot you if you wheelie, burn-out, do donuts... When I ride I wanna play.

I know what you mean. That stuff is great, I love doing it too. There has to be limit sometime though, thats the reason riding areas get shut down.

Posted by: seatec
Eric,
Are you missing a black/white Jersy since Tomahawk?
Well, the misses at home has washed and folded it for you and was pretty certain that it was yours and not mine since i havent worn a Large since high school.
Posted by: Ericthered rdr
Seatec... yes indeed it is mine and please tell the misses I said thanks.

I'm off on Sunday, but Tomahawk seems like an awful long drive. Probably about 3 +/- hours, I'm about 10 mins from the MD-DE border at I-95. I guess its looking like a day on the couch watching baseball.

I got a bad leak on my drive shaft coming out of the engine and I need a new chain bad. Im gonna take the day off tomorrow, to keep from doing any more damage, and play some paintball with the guys from my work.
Posted by: kwatts400
I'm out for tomorrow, I just got home from work a little while ago(2:30am). Thanks for the offer though. I think my next ride will be one of those Sat. or Sun. morning Easton trips if one should pop up soon, unless by some miracle I'm off the Sun. of the Rausch Creek ride. I think I will spend tomorrow afternoon going over the 450r from my trip to Georgia, with a few brews and the O's game on the tv.
Posted by: seatec
Well, Eric and i hooked up at SugarHill. We had some fun riding through the woods. especially when we both got stuck at the same time. lol it was weird. muddy in the woods and dusty as hell on the flats. will need to really clean that quad tomorrow.
Still got some work to do on the jetting. went down from a 48 pilot to a 45 and up from 170 to 172 on the main. had a bit of trouble starting the quad whe n stuck on an uphill, thats sucked.
Oh well. i guess il figure it out what the issue is.
Anybody else had a good ride.
Wonder how YLW did down at Tomahawk
Posted by: pgregg85
Tomahawk was rained out
Posted by: seatec
Sorry to hear that. When is the make-up day?
Posted by: chucked
i played paintball for the first time today. Holy crap i need to buy myself a pedal bike and lose about 35 lbs.
Posted by: seatec
Might as well start it.
Who's on for Budds Creek next weekedn. looks like its going to be ideal conditions.
Posted by: Lups450R
Hey guys, I rode Rause Creek today. It was cool but the rain made for a miserable mid-day ride. Motocross track was pretty user friendly for us woods guys.

How about you guys stop chasing squirrels and come down to race in Virginia Beach this weekend-May 1 & 2? Don't you get tired of getting muddy and stuck? What is the plan for the 2nd weekend in May? We are free and Dave would like to go to Easton.

Seatec that's Richie he finally put up a post & he better be there I don't want to go alone.
Posted by: seatec
Oh hehe. well, hello Ritchie, good of you to join us here. lol
I'm just hoping that i get my YFZ dialed in a bit better. am not happy with he throttle response. Also hope Santos will get his ***** in gear and ship me the shocks before Friday. As a matter of fact if he is not shipping them out today then i will have to insist that he ships them 3-day 2-day or overnight depending when he gets them done. he had them for 3 weeks now but he told me it would be a week 1/2 to 2 weeks. Almost makes me wish i would've gone the Elka way. I understand people are busy but a commitment is a commitment. oh well, rant over.

I should be at Budd's this weekend over on the mx side...no woods racing for me. Honda5...VA Beach is ok to watch but sand and salt water equals trashing a bike. Maybe I'll see some of you guys this weekend.

What time are the mx races going on? if earlier than my race i might want to shoot some footage of that race.

hey richie im the guy with that loud *** 400ex you were riding with a few weeks ago at SH.

Posted by: 400exvet
Hello Seatec and greghall, Good luck this weekend at Budds. The MX race will be happening the whole time your there. You can even sign up for both the MX and the XC races. I've seen people do it. It is a little hectic. But, if you like hectic and your in really good shape and your quad can handle it......go for it! We were going to be there but, I think we are now going to the district 6, Foot of the Mtn race this weekend. It is a real nice course, very similar to Tomahawk but without the MX section. Instead of a MX section they have a large field with lots of flat and off camber switchbacks. We will have to get you guys up here for a Sunday ride this summer. My buddy lives right off the rr tracks, which is great access to some awesome trails. We can even go to the Cecil Co. dragstrip for lunch and watch some cars run.
ericthered, was that you at the 4/18 Tomahawk race that almost went over the bars but kept right on going like nothing ever happened? if so, that was great!...I was behind you and just knew you were a goner..good save! later

well you see, my car dont have any scratches on it and its gonna stay that way, or an asain is gonna pay 
, but a harbor freight just opened up a few miles away and they sell small trailors dirt cheap. But my problem is, whether to get the 3.5'x4' or the 4'x8', the 4'x8' is too big and the 3.5'x4' is too small but I could probably make it work. and my car is only rated to pull 1000 lbs. IF anyone knows someone selling an s-10 for cheap, let me know

400exvet, are you riding in NorthEast at all? I've been there a few times, but haven't been in about a year. I heard its been pretty hot around there.
Posted by: Ericthered rdr
Hey 400exvet I knew there was a group of guys behind me on that one!! It was a hell of a save!! I heard all of you guys laughing your azzes off at me after the save. Cletus was there and we were laughing about it after the race but I have to admit I thought I was gonna get hurt so I gave it everthing I had to stay on the quad. Keep in touch because I would love to try that area you were refering to.
Posted by: seatec
btw. just got my ticket for the Rausch Exrider weekend.
Posted by: greghall
I wanted to try the GNCC that weekend .Is that the same weekend?Richie says Rausch was awsome he liked it better than Tower City.
Posted by: seatec
rausch is a lot of fun. they have some cool tracks ( i like the natural terrain track) and lotsa woods trails. youll have a blast.
Posted by: Ericthered rdr
Hey Seatec my son Tommy just called me and said " can you take me out on my 4wheeler angain? we can go to that place with that real big man with the cool loud 4 wheeler!!" I cracked up. He likes the flames on your quad. Hey I did some reading to find out about the jetting for my quad and I also looked into why you had probs with restarts. I found what I needed for me and I think I found that your pilot should be a 42 and main a 162 4th clip on needle approx 2 3/4 turns out on fuel screw. Just my findings not a suggestion to be fact.
I ordered the EHS lid and NOSS machine adapter with Uni filter now I need to get thejet kit. I am going to call DF to see if they carry one. I heard to stay away from the dynajet kit?????
Posted by: seatec
Eric, tommy is a funny guy. lol Big?? who's big???? lol
Btw, those jetting size are when you run almost stock and stock needle. i have the ncvq needle and full exhaust. thanx though.
BTW, where you serious when you said you where going to utility quad?

Yes, I might get one next year. I want something to do some serious trail riding in the mountains. I want 4 wheel drive and the ability to plow snow $$$$$ in the winter. I am buying a new truck first before i even consider buying a 'ute!!

jetting is a tough issue most people know nothing about,any so called kit is just going to get you in the right place it maybe right it may be alittle off,thats why I want to leave my airbox alone, jetting gets funny with alot of mods it takes awile to get it dialed in.Seatec Andy said his YFZ was very weather sensitive.& hard to get right.I know a little about jetting but could know more

Really and as I trim down even more I can see my little but getting tossed all over the place.
My uncle has a big ute and I just love all of that low end torque. I almost missed out on all of this fun and nearly bought one last fall.....glad I held off because sliding around and screaming through the woods is way more fun than crawling through the woods. I will get a ute one day to serve it's own function.

A-arms what the heck for??? I thought the YFZ had a pretty good set on it from the factory??
Posted by: seatec
im a bit top heavy you may have noticed. i need all the width i can get.
Posted by: Ericthered rdr
So you getting the +1 a-arms I wouldn't get anything wider for XC. I had some close calls with the stock width on the green machine, but I would also like to get a set of shinny chrome moly arms for mine.

Are you f..ing nuts didn't you see me after the Tomahawk race?? I was the one dying from exaustion trying to set a record of most fluid injested in a five minute period
Actually I would love to but I am not gonna try something like that this year. I think greghall and his buddy lups450r are gonna try it. Hell that is the perfect way to break in that 450 of yours
Posted by: 250RXCrider
I think that Cletus, his brother, our buddy Brian (white YFZ 450) and myself will all be up there. I think if you can handle Tomahawk you should be alright for Rausch Creek. I have only raced one GNCC and it was an awesome time. They are run really smoothly and you tend to race against other riders in a similar skill set. The tracks seem to have a wide variety of terrian with slow tough sections and wide open areas to catch your breath.
Posted by: 250RXCrider
I rode it Sunday and the 450R is sweet, smooth power and the brakes are sweet. I am kind of worried to run it at Budds with this rain, but hopefully everything will dry out by Sunday. Hey the old R is up for sale if you all know anyone interested.

Heard you broke that 450r in yesteday. Nothing like a little flat tracking to break a motor in.

It was nice, we ran the track backwards and through in the flat track section and it was like a whole new place to ride. Hey I heard Tomahawk MX got rained out, sounds like there wasn't much to miss.
Hey are we racing Rausch?

Yeah Dan said it was pretty cool. He said you all where airing into that first bowl. I was looking a little rough on Sunday morning so I decided not to chance it.
Yeah I plan on hitting Rausch. I talked to Brian a little about it today and he said he was in. We gotta figure out everyone's schedule and find out where we are staying. It's less than 3 weeks away.

Maybe drive up Friday after work and I am sure I can find a local motel like the fine Ecno Lodge we stayed in at Morgantown.

Ok here is the deal... if I continue to get back into shape, I do well at Budds, and my wife lets me run another race then count me in.

Sounds good, I plan to race myself back into shape

Hey Nick and JP do you guys have a camper to stay in because that is the weekend we are all camping at Rausch creek! I think Harlen set up an area for us all and discount tickets too!
Posted by: greghall
I may be up for the Rausch GNCC I'll go with the 33+ C maybe I'll only be out for 1hr 45mins. if the leaders lap me.Tomahawk took alot to do for me but I don't think Rausch will be much longer or harder.Budds is going to be a slugfest Sunday Im ready

Yeah it seems that knowing it is only an hour makes people run harder. This is always the crappy part, having to wait the whole week to race again.

Cletus,
Hotels.....Comfort Inn $129.99.....Ecno Lodge $59.95, they said they are booking up fast so we should decide in the next day or two. Riding the next day maybe a little rough, my hands still hurt from Tomahawk.

My hands are actually doing pretty good. I didn't ride this weekend so by Budds I should be good to go. I'll put a little tape on them, that has worked for me in the past.
Posted by: 250rmike
waht kind of race is budds this weekend? ill try to make it but im looking at buying another bike this weekend(350rx set up for xc) so i can get back into racing i also have to take a look at a new truck cause i kinda dont have a car right now. but where will you guys be meeting at if i do get a chance to make it. and what r u driving
Posted by: Ericthered rdr
the race is a Harescramble. It is an hour long race that starts out on the MX track then goes into the woods for about 3.5 miles then comes onto the flat track (my favorite part because it is wfo) then back into the woods then back onto the mx track then all over again for as many laps as you can do in 1 hour. We will probly be parked in the field on the left hand side as you come into the facility.

Its just going to be the woods track no MX or flat track that was a special event Eric,hopefully they have put in a few new trails it was pretty cool when they ran the back section,its pretty tight & holds some water

Dude that blows bigtime I was really looking forwrd to that flat track again. I thought it was really cool hitting those turns wide open sliding like a mofo. Even the mx track was cool except that small double I forgot about at the top of the hill by the office. I nosed dived into that so hard I think I blacked out for a second!@#$%^&*() thats what I saw!!! Well the woods there are good enough no killer rock sections just ruts,roots,whooped out sections and some mud holes that you better hit with some speed! Everyone better bring thier legs because with the rain that is forcasted there are gonna be some stuck quads
Posted by: greghall
I hope its muddy i love the mudd,the speeds will be down if its muddy,the track is cool without the extra's.It will still be fun!
Posted by: 250rmike
cool ill try my best to make it. andif i can get my bike in time i might race
Posted by: greghall
Some of the ruts on the back side by the dragstrip get pretty rough & the braking bumps on the hill beat you to death but I think the new R will handle it really good.I will need to get a good start if the fast guys have a clear track they will be gone,& 1 hour is'nt enough to catch them.
Posted by: seatec
Maybe i should bring the Grizzly to pull some of us out of the mud holes.
I think that if the weather holds the mud wont be that bad. just keep your speed up and hang way back on the quad when hitting it. I for one am going to check what others are doing and mimic if they get through.
Posted by: cletusEX
I don't think it's going to be bad. Some rain will help keep the dust down. The start at Budds can be a little rough if it's dusty.

The mudd won't be that bad just watch your lines,& what you are trying to go through.I hate dust more than mudd anyday!

So Seatec when are you gonna go break the cherry on that grizzly. Is it brand new or did you get a deal on a used one. I talked to my buddy Jim and he is gonna try to run his bike again. I tried talking him into riding his quad but I didn't have any luck. Oh well one less person to have to stay in front of

Sure Haha, I think Sunday is going to be a fun race. It's looking like a good turnout with good weather. I'm just counting down the days!
Posted by: greghall
Just joking, you guys are CRAZY on the start I don't want to get crashed up,I let all you guys go up Tomahawk everybody was real reckless on that first lap.I seen guys do some reckless stuff & it cost them in that race.Budds can be a little dangerous because of the speed on the open trails.
Posted by: Ericthered rdr
Dude I get so anxious on the start I forget all the things I said I wouldn't do and just rip as fast as I can then I realize I better slow down because I am out of energy. Well I am not sure what route to take at Budds because it is a short race and I think the start could determine the race. Getting behind slower racers that get stuck(like me) could F-up the outcome of ones results real quick I am turning on the afterburners and not looking back. No seriously this race will probly be won by whoever gets stuck the least.
Posted by: 250rmike
well i got a bike but i prolly wont make it cause i wanna go riding cause i havent been really riding in like a year

That is how most of the races are won. 10-20 seconds is a long time to make up on someone of the same skill level in the woods, but if you get stuck you can easily spend that amount of time getting ustuck. Usually you waste minutes getting out of a mud hole or off a tree. Not too mention the energy wasted. Starts are important but running a clean race helps more in my opinion.

well i need to break in and get used to my newz. got a deal i just couldnt pass up. one of my brothers freinds needed a car motor and my brother could get one so he traded his 04' z on its first tank of gas(the boy bought it for the credit) for the motor and my brother has no use for the bike so he sold it to me for 2200 i get a bill of sale until its payed off then get a title. anyone else think i got a good deal? is anyone going to rausch for the ride im gonna try to make it if my dad can. im also gonna go to easton as soon as i get some nerfs and a kill switch

I hope those shocks are worth the wait for you. I have been doing some research into shocks and rebuilds and from what I have read you should be very happy. So when you gonna get the Grizz muddy??? What options did you get on it?

Posted by: seatec
its a Full GYT-R Carbon fiber Pipe. Cf i spure bling. don't really care about the weight. Eric, i thought your Z pulled pretty hard man. enough to get in trouble in a hurry. lol. besides i had to haul *** cause you could move on that thing.

Naaaa I am just learning how to ride again
Posted by: cletusEX
those yfz's pull real hard. my buddy has a hmf ballance series and that thing is crazy loud. just was wondering if all pipes are loud on that bike or is it just his.
Eric it's nice having a fast bike but you still gotta hold em open while weaving in and out of trees

wEATHER LOOKS LIKE A HIT OR MISS ON SUNDAY ,hope its cloudy & moist I wonder if they are going to send people home at the GNCC if they fail the sound test this weekend?

i call BS on Eric. he is full o' crap. he is fast. just needs more stamina. trust me. i seen him disappaear into the woods like a bear with its as on fire.
Cletus. the yfz i pretty loud with most pipes. thats why i am getting a quite core. will still have 95% of the power which is more than i can handle anyway.

With a few more races under his belt & some experience he's (Eric)going to be somebody that's in the lead pack,at Tomahawk after he settle down he stayed in front of me for a good 3/4 lap & I coul'nt close the gap till he pulled off to rest(ERIC YOU NEVER STOP FOR NOTHING VICTORY OR DEATH )We will see how he does Sunday I think he will do really well.

Thanks for the props. I did have to pull over because I was staring death in the eye. I think the heat relly got to me. I was in a total dazze. I pulled over with Seatec for a rest and I nearly blacked out. I couldn't even talk. I know hydration wasn't an issue because I took a mean piss while trying to catch my breath. I softened up the suspension to full soft and it made such a difference. I really think the suspension was waaaaayyy to stiff at Tomahawk. I am looking into TCS shocks because they seem like alot of bang for the buck. Anyone using TCS that could back up thier reputation or discourage them??
Posted by: cletusEX
How much are TCS compared to ELKA. I run elka's and love them and also got them in a week and a half. It's nice not having to wait a long time.
Posted by: seatec
well, you guys oughta be good. you ve been riding quad for i dont know how long. yeah yeah the hiatus. excuses. lol. wait until i have a few years undr my belt. oh yeah. and you guys are all very old. i have a chance too. lol

I'm right there with you Seatec. I've been riding for only 2 years. Never rode a dirtbike or any kind of quad before that, so I'm still learning.
Posted by: greghall
All the shocks are comparable in price I would go with Elka's or Axis if you are going to keep the bike & race it,if not save the money.

Sounds good. I still have to order mine for the HMF. That thing is MEGA loud! Vic swears that the HMF has more bottom end than the GYTR....What did you think? Maybe just the jetting?
Posted by: Ericthered rdr
Axis are the chit but I am not waiting for them, Elkas are excellent but for almost a grand less I can get the TCS fully adjustable triple rate fronts with remote rezzies and a custom dual rate rebuild on my rear shock. I am getting a lot of positive feedback on them from Z400CENTRAL.COM I could put that extra grand into a GPR 2.0 steering setup. I love the Elka's but I am not going to be good enough to need the very best. I am most concerned with customer support and reliability and I know that Elka has the best of both but I am being told that TCS rivals them. I really wish there was a way to try it before you buy it.
Chris how much longer till you can ride bud????
Posted by: cletusEX
I thought TCS where priced similarly to Elka. I got my whole set up for like 1600 and that's with the rear shock not a rebuild.
Posted by: seatec
Chris, i think the gytr has more bottom and it could be because of jetting that vic thinks the hmf has more but hey. it cant be that much off a difference. Maybe we should take a saturday and swap the hmf with the gytr and see how the they feel on one quad.
Eric, i think TCS is a totally underrated shock. Talk to bob at magnolia tractor. he knows alot about the TCS. Elka however is a bigger name and might be able to give you better turn around and cust. service.
Posted by: 400exvet
howdy all! I finally got a chance to get back in here and yack for a while. Are you guys trying for a thread world record???We will be racing at Foot of the Mtn. this Sunday with the district 6 guys. We would go to Budds if they were using the long track. Maybe next time.
Eric, don't feel bad about having to stop...one of the Kyte brothers had to pull off and puke at T-hawk, then he thought he was having a heart attack...just a little overheated I guess.
I like the little "HOLD ON" jokes you guys keep giving Eric. Eric, I wish I had a dollar for every time I almost went over the bars!
I do ride in NorthEast. I have been riding there for over 20 years and have never seen any type of law enforcement. I have heard of others getting caught...typically they stay in the same place and have kids with them so they can't run. We mix it up and ride alot of different areas. We'll have y'all up this summer.
greghall, is it you that has the trick little braether cap thing on your gas cap? If so, where did you say you got it? I've looked almost everywhere. later
Posted by: cletusEX
Good luck up at Foot of the Mtn.
Posted by: greghall
no I think seatec has a trick breather & gas cap,
Posted by: seatec
Nope, that would be me with the trick breather cap. Greg doesnt believe in bling.(he is the smart one. lol) Hey i say, if i cant ride fast (yet) i might as well look good. lol.
I got the breather cap at a local store called Mid Atlantic cycle. THey are in Bel Air.i forgot what brand the breather cap was but ill try to find out for ya.
Posted by: Ericthered rdr
Hey Vet the # for mid atlantic cycle is 410-420-1800. I stopped by a little while ago and they were closed so I would wait till tommorrow to call but I was there last week and they had them.
