As all the Raptor owners out there know that the reverse is is geared pretty darn high. This weekend I think I may have found a purpose/use for this high reverse?! You know when your riding buddies get lipy and you wanna roost them a little.......Well you'd THINK you were safe sitting in FRONT of the machine right? Hehehehe I think all the owners out there know where im going with this? =-)

AWESOME! Never thought of that. We can always use a tip designed to shutup our cocky riding buddys. Can't wait to try it. My brother used to sit by a mud hole acting like he was tring to kick start his running bike and I would ride up to give a hand, well, you get the picture.

I went out ridding at pismo with a friend who just got a raptor and was ridding it for the first time. We stopped to watch people race comp hill, and he pulled in right behind some guy we didn't know. My friend decided to leave, so he put it in reverse, tried to back out, but he was on a slope, so he barried it. He roosted that poor guy in front of him good. My friend's lucky he didn't get his but kicked. But it was funny.

For the guy who posted about the DS I got a kick out of that one......Just wish I knew someone with a DS so I could go riding with them. It really has my curiousity sparked as to what it "feels like" I tried to test ride one but the guy wouldnt let me. Said it was "policy" or some BS I just told him he convinced me to STAY on the waiting list for my Raptor. Oh well id still like to ride with one! =-) Have fun everyone!
