Description:
I am from Northern Ohio. I began riding quads when i was 14I got a Honda Recon and my father bought a Honda Foreman as the yard/work/play vehicles.. we found out how great riding the foreman on the trails really was..and how well we were able to pull out the recon without a problem with the winch LOL.... I found how fun trail riding was a decided to go out of state to Haspin and Wayne National Park and places of that sort.I traded the Honda Recon in for the 2003 LTZ400...in july of 02 this was a great trail bike. I was getting into MX Quad racing at the time, i found it to work really well, I raced at the local tracks...Pymatuning, Meadowlarks, Malvern, Spring Valley, and tha all famous Sandusky Speedway, those of you in the Northern Ohio area prolly know what i am talking about. This past season has been my last due to wrist injuries. I have Pins in my right wrist, and have been in a cast for god knows how long...In June of 2003 I got my 2004 Raptor.I got it as My new Trail/Speed Beast, as i do not like 2 strokes all that well. I have rode banshees and found they do not feel at home in the woods quite like the raptor does. I did not leave it stock for long especially as winter rolled around. I have modded it accordingly: and there will be more to come........Raptor with blue plasticsNow has Black Plastics with the RED 03 NoseAlba "White" Graphics KitWorks Tripple Rate Fronts w/RezzisGYTR CF Full SystemTag T2z Gunmetal KitMagura Hymec Hydraulic ClutchTrinity686,w/JE 102mm 11:1 Port&Polish Hotcam StageII Valve Springs the full schabang 3400 worth of motor!Sidewinder Ti Moly FULL SETUP front, Rear and Chain...

It was on its back, and winterized.I knowticed that my CF Yoshimura Comp Complete Muffler was all chewed up, packing ripped to shreads all over, the rear fenders has holes in them and the seat and airbox all had the been destroyed all by a mouse...literally just gnawed the hell out of it. Thank god i have full coverage by progressive. at this time i had no choice other than to make an insurance claim...the damage was 2400. While it was in the local shop Norris Motorsports because they handled all of the replacement parts as the insurance company makes them!To make a long story short, i am out over 5grand, and it has been a complete disaster leaving me nothing more than pissed off! I have a 2003 Dodge that is Paid for, but wont pull the trailer, we end up using the Envoy for that...Looking to sell the Neon as it does me no good and only causes trouble... When i got it, it was brand new, and completely stock. I hate Fast&theFurious, and am no ricer LOL...I think it is the biggest joke ever but the car sorta falls into that catagory ohh well, at least its not a honda lol. Lookin for a new Dodge Truck or something here shortly.I recently joined the foums and found it to be an absolute blast. I read hundreds of posts a day/week and really learn alot...Like i said i am in Northern Ohio, and would really like to hear from those of you that are located near me!!!Places to ride???My freedom is bestWhole country's on house arrestAnd everyone's a suspectYou can't feel the flow because you diedFace down on a "suicide"The muthaf*cker's on self-destructNobody guardin' your back, it's all a front...Save this, My rage is a bliss,I'm takin names and gettin pissed.
