Ok...the shee is in for repairs and I had to take my "spare" machine.
Went riding, having fun in the usual trails, when Suddenly, I thoughtI was dreaming...encounters of the third type!!!! I met a group of sporty riders of 1 Raptor with Big Gun, 2 Banshees with Paul Turner and FMF pipes (don't know which ones...didn't really give a look at it), a DS650 with carb, air filter and BigGun, and 2 Warriors with the usual Warrior mods ( air filter).
Raptor and DS were fitted with Holeshots (or Razrs...the cross **** style), the shee had realtors and the other studded snow tires, and the warriors seemed to have the crappy stock tires...I simply couldn't believe it!! I have been looking for sport quad riders all ummer long, and find them now, when it's too cold to stop outside!!
Anyway, we talked a little and since they were curious about my machine "is it real fast? Sounds weird! Not too much wheeling?...etc". We decided tofind an unsnowy long straight place, and you guess what happened...we raced...we DRAG raced. They didn't know what to expect..I knew I would be far ahead. I was pretty impressive to see 6 machines (one had to give the start sign) lined up, engines raging...
We started...and I flew away, from the beginnig TO THE END. It was like 1 mile long, and no one has been able to pass me, or just get beside me...
They couldn't believe it!!!! I had told them about my machine, at first they were curious, now they were shocked!! They brand new high performance machines didn't even stand a chance.
It sounds incredible, and most of you are goona beat me for saying that...but it's the truth.
I guess you are curious about my "spare" machine. Normal. It's an 80 Badger with big bore kit, which makes it a whopping 82cc, a huge 2cc advantage vs stock, with the big 26" tires. I told you they couldn't believe it!!

Zorro is always beating my Scrambler400 with that darn Badger! It must be on nitro or something...

He won't let me near it!
