Sold one out of the fleet.....:road trip:

Why would you do such a thing!?

^^^^^It was hard but I was not attached to that one. Neighbor kid wanted it so I sold it to him. Already raced it and got 5th overall out of 16 quads....all 450's. He is hooked hard and only 18 yrs old.

Glad to hear it is good hands! I know how much you love the R's

Thanks Jon! Only problem is I think I am married to it now. Lol I did tell him if he ever sells it to give me first chance.

Put on my new gripper seat cover Friday night and went camping Saturday. After 4 days of hard riding everything held good and ran like a champ. No issues other than my headlight going out while our riding by myself at 2:30 in the morning, it was a sketchy ride back to camp to say the least lol.

Cleaned up the motor I am going to put in my 88 this weekend. Turned out pretty nice. Recieved my new chain,clutch lever,etc. to help me finish this maybe very soon. Got home after 2nd shift and find my old quad sitting next to my shed. Neighbor kid wrecked it already.....no compression.:wtf?: I guess I am marrried to it now.:cower:

I thought you meant wrecked as in broken plastic and frame parts. No compression is an easy fix! Some of us do it every week. :lol:

I know it's easy. I just got a million other things going on right now. Told him to never coast,hold it wide open for too long and always blip the throttle when letting off. I have run these quads for almost twenty years and never burned one down....yet.:p He did wreck his shoulder already motocrossing it after only ten days of owning it.

I top off the fuel tank with Sunoco 112! A toad strangler, came down! Ride, maybe tomorrow! :quad:

Picked up an 89 close to me with no top end on it. Put a spare top end on it and threw away the dyna fs ignition box and she fired right up!! Went from looking like this

to this

Not sure what I am going to do with this one yet but at least it will look original....
