Exclamation Anyone into ATV's and MX bikes???

So i was just wondering if anyone else on here is into atv's or mx bikes. i do hill climbs, poka runs, drag racing, and the general trail riding alot. i have a 06' TRX450R Honda racing quad. i bought it new in 06' and have some mods done to it. it has a new cam, full exhaust, new cdi box (revs to 11k now), jet kit, k&n air filter, removed the airbox, and went one tooth up on the front sprocket and im runnin holeshot tires. so who else have sport quads or ne thing they ride in the woods. im usually the only one without 4X4 drive. my best friend has the new canam renegade 800r. very fast quad we r very close in a drag race if i get good traction lol. here r some pics.....

I have a 99 Honda 400ex with White Bros Hot Cam, Piston & Head. K&N intake with Top Gun exhaust. It'll give any stock Raptor 770 a run for the money.

Its up for grabs for $1500 if anyone's interested. Switching over to bike.

I started off racing when I was 5 on a 50cc Suzuki quad and finished my racing when I was 19 on a 03 Raptor that Started out as a full on MX bike. I kept getting hurt and didnt want to severly injure myself and not be able to work, so I changed everything over to race TT and short-tracks and just got burnt out over the years. I had offers from a guy I know to race Nationals and not have to drop a dime, but at that point I was just tired of it all and didnt want to do it if it wasnt fun anymore. I ended up putting the MX setup back on and just used it to hurt feelings dragracing or just riding with friends in the gravel pits and the huge creek bed we have local. Since then I've had a couple of pitbikes. One had a 125 lifan and the other was a 110 that was fully built with just a 114 kit. I used the 114 bike to train my buddies 5yo for his first year of MX. He has a Yamaha TTR50 he races in the Shaft class, which he won the championship that covers AR, MO, KY, MS, and TN. He also has a KTM 50 Junior and a KTM Pro Senior 50. We have the privalage of having 2 previous pro AMA MX riders from the 80s-90s that we know that have helped setup the suspension and offer tips on his riding. We're hoping to get him qualified for Loretta Lynn's this upcoming year to see how he fairs with some kids from all over the states.

Trying to make a Raptor in to a MX or TT race machine is a joke. I just wanted to try something different than everybody else. If I was to get back and race again it would be on a Yamaha yfz450r or a KTM 450. Back when I got offered a quad to race in the nationals, it was a 400ex with Laegers arms, durablue axle and front roll bar. Triple rate Peps on the front with a Pep on the back, Curtis Sparks pipe, silencer, and Curtis Sparks convereted Elelbrock carb, and one of the baddest 414 kits I've riden in my life. I raced against that bike on a short track and got my ass handed to me and I would have placed 3rd to it and a built YFZ450 but ended up bending the valves on the last lap. I guess revving to the moon only last so many heats. lol Stupid titanium valves. *facepalm*

so dad was driving the sled last night (its a 2006 Polaris 900) and hit a tree. luckily it was only a little spruce but still did damage. cracked bottom plastic by right ski badly, and bent the a-arm on the right too. dad wasnt hurt but this sucks. Now i cant drive it till fixed or we asses the damage more. was able to drive it home so could be okay for now.....

I had a 660 R , it was a pretty good bike. I was into stupid stunts when rode though, and trails, so it was perfect for me. I loved riding wheelies though, that was my absolute FAVORITE thing. Nothing like the feeling of 2nd through 5th on two wheels, i havent found anything like that feeling this far in my life. Like a natural high. Mine was stock, only thing i did was jetted it and put in a K&N filter, and some cosmetics, ASV lever and such things. (And yes, lol, there is nothing like the feeling of hitting a dirt road at 45 miles an hour when you touch the throttle just a bit much coming out of 4th gear.)
