tomorrow hopefully. Thats if the drunk bastard can stay on 4 wheels in town and not get razed by the cops. What a dumb ***, he isn't even from this town and he is stirring up crap.

Anyway, he should be out tomorrow and I'm wondering how bad he will beat me in a drag on gravel and pavement? I want to race him and I want to see him jump the thing. Can't wait.

I would think it would be a very close race.

I haven't seen a v-force race a pred yet, but i have raced both on my stock raptor and was dead even with the pred but lost to the v-force.

every predator that I have seen drag racing has been very slow in the first two gears most of them starting in first then short shifting to second. they dont really seem to pick up much speed until 3rd gear. although it may be the riders. when I've raced stock ones with my stock raptor I have always got the jump off the line then pull maybe a bike length ahead at the begining but once they shift into 3rd they catch up and sometimes pull a little ahead until I shift into 5th and slowly pass them. I have seen different results than this but this is what I have seen and experienced most often.

I have seen many Predators race up comp hill ib Florence, Or. and it seems like some are fast off the show room and some are dogs. I have even seen 3 line up and 1 was way faster than the other 2, all of them new and stock...??

Today is a nice day now, I hope they go riding. I'll bring my camcorder out and hopefully get some video.

Why are there no comments regarding his post? Does he toss your "theories" in the trash? He is the second person I've seen post that he owns both, and that the Predator will outrun it. Cmon smack talkers, let's hear it. lol
