Well I have been reading the Bombardier part of this forum for over 2 years now, no less than once a day. I figured it was time to officially join and become a supporting member. I must say I have read some very interesting things for awhile now, some good and some bad, but interesting none the less. I grew up in snow country in way upstate NY, and moved south back in 95. I have been an AVID Bombardier fan my whole life, from snowmobiles to quad's.
So in joining I wanted to personaly thank all of you for your insite and knowlage I have learned from y'all over the years, and yes I know most of you and your rides. Living here in the east we do not have the oceans of sand you have out west (envy) but we have the same need for speed. I am a hardcore trail racer you could call it GNCC style. The trails I run are mostly here in SC, one is the Enoree OHV (about 20 miles of trails) and the other is Wamba OHV (40 miles of trails). I run hard and have only been passed ( or yielded to ) quite a few bikes and only one atv ( a hopped up banshee that smelled greaaaaat as it passed ). I'm saying this to shed some light on the ds650's ability to trail ride. In tight or wide trails I rarely have to shift below 3rd gear, The torque of this monster rules and I will be talking to dem boys in Kentuky to improve a couple things. So please when ppl ask about the ds, tell them you have heard or know it will trail all day long. As far as drag racing goes well I gave up on the 300ft mark and do a pretty dam good job on the 1/8 mile paved track.
Well I'll leave this as this for now, I will also post some pics and info in my bio. But I can't say it loud enough or type it often enough, THANKS.
Feeling the need to repay alot of you for what I have learned, I can't help you with your rides, but I will help you with those dam computers.

PS. This is also a way to test my sig. lol. =]

Thanks for the welcome guys, funny if you were to take a poll I wonder how many of us baby boomers don't remember the 80's lol.
