Title: Piediddy is back
Post by: Piediddy on July 04, 2013, 08:09:42 AM

I'm 39 live in south Mississippi, born and raised in south Louisiana. I took a little break from quads when my last build slung 2nd gear through the left casing. I sold and gave everything away and was done. But I realize how much I miss it, so I'm piecing together an 89. Thanks for the new site.

It is discouraging to spend hundreds of hours on your current build and then the second gear thing brings you back to the beginning starting over. Me and my son both did that on his Puma. His did not go through the case but mine did. Makes you want to cry. Welcome back!

Thanks guys, yea it actually happened to 2 of my motors. A Puma and a proX 370. It is definitely discouraging after putting all the $ and time into them. I just have to keep it a Hobby and not let it turn I to an obsession ha.

Yea Ben, y'all need to make a trip to Wiggins on a weekend when the weather is good. It's a cool place with cabin rentals, concession stand, and the guy who runs it Jeff makes some good barbecue burgers. They have a dozer they keep the track groomed

Welcome back Brian, we talked today to Joe at LA Dunes, he said he's got 30 days to move all his belongings and he said they are going to start to mine the sand and gravel again is last he heard. To keep that place going its costing him about 8k a month with lease and insurance..... That's tough to reach there per month..

thanks Wes, what's the chances of someone else taking the place over. $8k a month is a lot of overhead.

Good to see you Piediddy.  I dont think I've ever met you.  I used to live in Picayune, (Hide-a-way-lake).  I moved about two hours away a few years ago.  My wife and I still go to Wiggins on occasion.  If you ever see us come say hello!  I usually have two matching white 89's and my LT500R with me when I go there.  Hopefully I will have my ATC back together by the end of the year!  Hope we get a chance to meet!

I am in Oklahoma until the first of October.  Then I go back home.  If you guys get up here anytime before then let me know!  I saw someone putting together a ride later in the month of October, I dont know if I will want to make that drive again, but I might!  I am thinking about spending New Years @ Sand Hill. if nothing else.

You rite Pumashine, as of now frame is silver vein, black wheels and orange plastics haha. I'm gonna get it running and maybe redo it in winter. I wanna do a fun Duner in the 86 colors and graphics. Even powdercoated Douglas wheels Gold. Always liked that look. It will just take time.
