Tooey:

I'm not stupid enuff to think my Sport would beat a 250R, let alone, my Kodiak. I answered your email the other day, and it got returned for some reason. Where exactly is Dillonville? I have ridden at a sportsman's club in Cadiz before. I remember it had a wall with about a dozen hillclimbs on it. There was about twenty people riding there, and my group was the only ones wearing helmets. Do they sell helmets in Cadiz?

I would be interested in a poker run.

 

A few years ago at the Patton Valley Wall at Glamis (this is 300+ feet of steep soft sand), this guy with a Tecate 3-wheel was taking on all "comers." Any 250 2-stroke he gave a head-start up the hill and then went by them 2/3 the way up. He was going head-to-head with Suzuki 500's and beating them! He was beating everyone until some monster Banshee showed up.

 

When I drag race my buddy on his stock 400 EX on my almost stock 87 250R we are dead even until I click into sixth gear - then I SLOWLY pull away. In my R's defense, I do weigh 80 pounds more than my buddy so my bike is a just a little faster though.

 

TheQuadfather,
Go to Rumbl on the ridge.homestead.com It will give u direction there. If u don't them email me. I was just jocking about that post.

 

It depends on what you consider stock, take a 400ex and give it a decent pipe and vent the airbox with a good filter and do the same to the 250R and the 250R will RUN away from the 400EX and if you think it would be close between a 400ex and a Tecate, you have obviously never ridden a Tecate!!
