Alright all, this builder thing is getting old. You are all letting Rcoop and his BS get the best of you and destroy the whole goal we have had up till recently. We should be Bombardier (Can-Am) first. If I have one builders bike, and you have anothers, we should be out to have fun and enjoy ourselves. If you really like a particular product, then great. If you really don't like another builders style, then that is fine also. We need more products, more competition, and greater increases for our rides. Competition is a great thing for the consumer, because as it stands our parts cost way more then they should at this point.

Get over the egos of the builders, and lets get back to the spirit and brotherhood that we have had until the last couple of months. Have some fun with some friendly banter, but stop letting some dumb azz cause such large issues and lets get back to the level that this forum has been known for.

Thanks for the good words, we have been doing alot of homework on our 4 strokes. I have come up with some porting thats working realy good on our 770 raptors. Brett (pilot) is our dyno and mapping guy , Ryan is the man with the killer set of tools, Jason is the owner and part time pilot, Me Im just a punk kid that likes to make heads flow.

You would probably do better putting your wife on her own bike you see cause im not as easily intimadated like the little kids you prefer to line up with like at fsw pismo. Ill break you down like i broke down Randle you will never pull a light again.But if im hearing right your piece of trash breaks everytime its out so i better get there early.And i would hope a hp science project stock bore drag bike could beat a carelessly thrown together dune bike. but we will see[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]


Now it that i think about it our cam's and pistons are more than likely the same only yours have the pami ground off..[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][/quote]


I seen you went back and did some editing. If Pami has a web cam, there doing there own grinding
[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] And I do have one of HPR's first 14-1's in there, but I havent ever seen it, so you would need to ask Marky what it looks like. I bet it looks like a JE piston. Heck they all look the same to me. And if you havent figured it out by now, my wifes bike is a Heinz 57, and its still going to kick your ace!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Actualy if my fiance comes i will let her run your wifes bike with the stand in or you the out come will be the same she puts 4 on me...And our bikes are identical builds.

 

4fifty , i liked the way me and your crew was able to joke around and have a good time , the conversations that went on was not my 770 smoked your 730 nitrous and ha ha ha. i apreciated the time that was taken explaining sthe different stuff that you guys were into what all the bike had going on. thanks again f to your crew, real class acts. your pilot also owes me rocket racing go fast stickers for my bike. i figured that thats the least you guys owed me. tell the truth, it was pretty funny seeing that rainbow duner lined up out there with you guys. and to all the other bikes that winys boy took out im sorry we took you out. that guy on the stretched 3 wheeler with who knows what kind of motor in it was so upset about losing to it i actualy felt sorry for the guy. any way i found some more times slips and footage. i cant post any footage until someone returns my helmet. its worth about 25 cents. my wife was so happy when i told her its somewhere in oregon. i misplaced it somewhere, i guess thats what drinking gets you.

 

Wow, what a week! Met a ton of good people. 2big your a kick in the pants! I had a blast piloting your bike at the hill [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] On the spray that thing flat hauls the mail. Your good people, I can't wait till our paths cross again and the good times that follow [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]



Scatterbrain, Your bike runs hard and it was fun as hell running the hill and duning with you. To bad we had bad luck in the first round of sportsman[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] but we got to do some serious duning and hill shooting while everyone else sat in the slow moving lines in the staging lanes [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] I had a blast and I'm really glad I got to meet up and hang with all you DS guys your good people.



DSnut, your bike has the potential to run real hard on the spray, I hate it that your sprag went and you guys couldn't fire it, I enjoyed meeting you and YFZFryGuy, that dudes worth about 10 horse on anything he gets on[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
I look forward to the next time we meet up and get to see that DS of yours run to it's full potential, it's going to suprise some folks for sure[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]




CapeWindy's 730 in the SSR rigid is pure hell that's for sure, the crowd loved that bike and Randall did a masterful job of piloting it. On Sat he was running consistent 4.2's and I believe he ran a 4.17



AZsand, I don't know you but from what I saw with my own eyes your way off base bagging on Randall
That dude has ice water in his veins. If you run that bike with him piloting it you better be as fast as you say you are or your going to be eating some serious sand[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]




I was very impressed with the Rocket Factory guys, they showed me what they had been telling me for a while now,
and did it with class. 4FITTY, sorry you couldn't make it, I was looking forward to meeting you. Your stock swingarm 700R is wild[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] I may be making a trip to sparks this coming winter[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]




SandBomber it was good seeing you and Hap again, can't wait till we get to do some duning bro.
Glenn's DS frame was there for all to see and measure in capewindys trailer, it has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that it is indeed OEM as I knew it was.




I was real happy with the performance of my bolt on 700R it performed well for what it is, now I just need to leave that red light off[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

HEY, how did I get dragged into this??? It's my birthday and I'm sitting here enjoying my fresh batch of Apple Pie, minding my own business and now I see somebody wants to kick me. You guys are brutal.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Enjoying the updates, keep them coming.

 

since im a man of my word we all had an agreament to run all of our bikes at the hill against each others and the winner was to be praised by all others who lost. by a technicality, the rainbow bike with good ole 380 lb pilot 2big or now known as 2scared did lose to scatterbrains bike. so he is the man atleast he was until mr raptor randy gave her a try. once the scared 2big baby got off the pig it started screaming . so now i did my job like i said, now i believe bigd660r, yfzfry , his buddy, dsnut, scatterbrain, even one of my many pilots better keep up there end of our agreament. come on now randy you got to give it more praise than that. oh and someone find those banshee guys so they can let us all know what happened. . there were so many of you and just little old me to name you all but i had a great time with all of you. from being secure with my masculinity and hugging another man,[cynicks husband] to the wrotten crown and coke that caused me to sleep at the foot of my bed, to the boys that actually thought i knew what i was talking about when i helped them put there banshee together, to all the wives who kept me updated on what was going on with the races, to my personal dune guides there were a couple who only led me astray a couple of times{ thats going down banshee hill } you all know who did that. tracy who offers everyone a hug on the forums and then when they meet she gives them a handshake instead. even that nut hugger guy[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] for someone to offer up a drunk guy a place to sleep and eat while i was in town, that was pretty good of him. im still waiting on the filet mingon. scatterbrain thanks for putting up with my nonesense for the weekend, a little secret to all the oregon ladies. keith is such a cheap date, 12 pack a beer and 2 hot dogs from the 7 eleven, now thats cheap. cost me 13 dollars on our date heck and i drank most of the beer. bomber nice to meet your family the food was great but since im twice the size of everyone else why did they get the same amount to eat as me[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] 222 what can i say, you win some and you lose some but its not every day that i can get it on video. hap where do you want me to send that one photo to i will delete it after i make about a 100 copies, i promise. nice meeting you. i think the biggest thanks needs to go to mr green for the exclusive behind the scenes pass that let me get that great video footage, i sure felt important standing inside the yellow tape when you all were not allowed access like me.cape you guys get those stickers made out. anyway anyone that i missed im sorry becouse you all were great. none of you made me mad this time. oregon will never be the same. my wife wants to know who put all the empty beer bottles behind the seat of the truck, i told her it had to be one of you guys since i dont drink. oh and to the oregon department of fish and game, my wife and i will be eating real good this winter and you all know what im talking about[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I just got in from dropping Randall off at the airport. What a tremendous experience this week has been. I went through countless hours of trying to set my duner up as a flat track bike. I followed Randalls instructions to the very best of my ability and resources and we got it done just in time. Everything looked good and sounded good. We got one test run on Thursday night that was a 4.8 on all motor. The bike was rich on top and laid down a bit at the top of the rpm band. We had a myriad of gremlins in the nitrous system that were mostly worked out before the race so it was functioning mostly.............it had a lean spike off idle on the dyno that became a lean flatspot under load of sand that made it impossible to launch on Noss. We did one motor pass in sportsman class that that was 4.7 to make sure our jetting issues were taken care of up top. The bike still layed down a little so we leaned the power jets a touch more and told the official we were timing in at 4.65 assuming that would be close. We didn't get a second chance. The sprague clutch went to pieces on Friday afternoon forcing us to pull start the bike on Saturday. The pieces that came off messed up the magnet at the pick-up. The bike died at the line and was not able to be restarted............no spark. The Best we ran regardless of potential was a 4.71. I am disappointed but that is life, it certainly wasen't from a lack of effort on anyone's part.

The victory we did have was the only single cylinder 4-stroke to post a better time that I heard of was Capewindy's 730 in the drag chassis. The rocket raptor that took KOTD was a tenth and a half slower than my only run on race day.

Rcoop - The average of my raceday passes was 4.71..............what was yours on your DS?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Couldn't help but notice you never introduced yourself to me. I went and talked to every DS owner I saw hoping it would be you but came up empty..............

AZ - I gave you a pretty hard time after 4sw's, so....................touche[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

To all of the forum members I met up with; I cannot convey with this keyboard how much I appreciated the support from all of you.

Scatterbrain offered the whole side of his motor to keep me in the game and was ready to help me tear into it at my word. Not knowing the underlying problem that caused the sprague to go so suddenly, I made the call not to proceed until I knew what happened.

2Big was a gentleman and ran around with me in his truck all afternoon on Friday just to scrape together enough NOS for Capewindy and I to run Pro class. I selflessly offered his tools and extra gaskets he had brought and he took my ribbing like a "big man"[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Cynick is a picture perfect family. Tracy was supportive and was obviously rooting for me, Seth jumped in and aided us in solving a few problems with Capewindy's setup and was invaluable..........I was in a hurry wasen't I, Seth?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img].......and I didn't have enough hands by myself[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Bigdaddy660R and Raptorandy27 were in our corner and ready to do whatever needed doing. Thanks![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Capewindy - Had no idea you were so huge![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Rcoop obviously hasen't met you, lol. Your bike was the most impressive thing I saw all week! Finally a full on race 730 running 4.1's on a loose track! You have to proud of that[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Sandbomber - The look on your face when I told you I was vegetarian was priceless![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]LMAO Thanks for the advice and keeping me up to speed on race proceedures[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

222 - There is nothing i can say that you don't already know.............but thanks........for everything[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] This was an experience that will be remembered and you have a friend in me............you earned it.

 

now this whole trip/ invitation makes sense to me now. when ron first came on here i really did not care for him he struck as one of those guys who just wanted to try an confuse me with big words and these math equations that i would try to solve , and after many days of thought and research there was no answer. but then he started coming around, letting me in on a little lawsuit that i had against me from another forum member, can you belive that somebody wanted to actually sue me,im such a nice guy. well ron kinda like the fungus on a tree he starts to grow on you. every now and then he slips up on his posting and we all have to let him have it. i mean what a nice guy, who else would burn up 30 dollars in gas out of your truck and then offer you 5. just like thursday night he saw me digging a whole and wanted to know what it was for, since i had been there all day telling everyone i had no hotel reservations, no trailor to sleep in, no blankets, well after i was half finished digging my bed in the sand and lining it with beer bottles he brakes down and offers me his couch in the trailor. its only about 900 degreas in there im in my shorts and t shirt outside drinking beer and they all have jackets on and there freazing. well that kinda eliminates sleeping in there. friday rolls around , hey 2big want something to eat, yes ron i want some filet mingon on a hoagie bun, well 3 days later still no filet on a hoagie. so im suposedly his sub technician , needless to say i promoted myself to the alcohol mixture technician. now that im home and now that im thinking straight and since i still have not recieved my shirt or my hat i now think ron is an @$$ hole again. you dont invite a guy my size to dinner when your a vegetarian. what am i suposed to do let you eat your rabbit food and then cut your arm off and eat it. ron you really slipped up on this one, and then to top it off he owns a raptor. god i hate him now for sure. but all he has to do to redeam himself is to get with his buddies and keep up with there end of the bargain and let everyone know how far there bike got beet and by whos and who was the king of the hill no strike that whos bike was king of the hill. the owner was to scared to be king of the hill. everybody watch this guy close, he is a very smart guy, he sends his boys to borrow the tools and seals and fly wheal puller, and then comes up beside me acting like he does not know what they are doing when he has planned all this before time. any way it was great meeting you, did you see what i did with my helmet?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
