Gaff are you putting that beast together yet? Inquiring minds want the scoop.

Rode a brand new pairrie 650 at kermit last weekend. That is ONE NICE ride. All i have to do is convince my wife that has never seen 4 gear in her bayou 220 that she needs a 650. Any ideas?

You know...., Valentines Day isn't that far away...Flowers, Jewerly, Candy, Nice Card, A night out on the town, Dancing, Wine, More Wine...Any thing is possible! At least thats my planned solution to needing a new winch for the new Foreman. By the way, I don't have a patten on it so feel free to use it.

Best Regards to All
Dale

14, I just recieved the kit, and I just got home from offshore.
The piston looks realy cool, I'm siked.
I also have my sons bike blown up at the moment, powroll kit on the way.

14, mickey offers a cam for the lakota, yet his doesn't require hwavier valve springs, did yours need the springs.
any way I'm going wiith the FST cam, give me about a month and don't worry, you know I'll be on here letting everyone know.

14,
Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Like I said, it should take a month or so. Only because I cought mickey in the midle of machining other pistons, this is the only reason I recieved the kit so fast.
It's importent to say that just because we found some after market for the lakota, it's still special order for every piece I'm ordering, so this too has slowed me down.

I have the money and aprooval from the wife for a neww quad, but I'm going to wait for early 2003 to see what pans out.
A few of us including stebob is going to try and make it to lloretta lynns this april, if you can make it, it would be graet!

Gaff what kind of bike are you looking in to getting? My next bike will probabley be a yellow 400ex. Have you ever ridden a 400. I like the 400 better because of how well it handles. I don't care to much for the raptor I think it handles as well as the 400 and it sits up to high and makes it tippy in the corners.
My lakota is smoking blue does that mean that it's burning oil.

14,
You and I could car pool or follow each other keep me posted.
Stebob says he'll be there but not race, try to work on him for me. Ya know if he just brings his quad he will go, and if he doesn't he will regret it!!!
But keep me posted.
