Alright, I know that there are some happy michigan owners out there, but I have not seen any other Z besides mine. I have gone up north 4 weekends in the past 5 weeks(didn't have my Z the first time), 2 times to Mio, and 2 times to Blue Bear in Grayling. My friend have been up in Mio 4 times. None of us have seen another Z on the trails. Where is everyone riding? Would be nice to see another out on the trails. I know that some of you were at Bull Gap in Mio one of the weekends, I think that was the weekend that I was not able to go up.

We will more than likely be going up north this weekend, not sure if we will be in Mio or Kalkaska. If anyone will be going up, let me know, maybe we could met up.

Obud, I have been to Mio and Lewiston with mine. When we showed up to bull gap the first thing I seen was another Z. It turned out to be a buddy of mine. He also put money down back in march. That jerk kept it a secret from me the whole time. Anyway we were the only two that i know of on the saturday b4 memorial day. I also have some gekos and like them (i dont have much experience with a variety of paddles though).

Where do you usually ride? This was my first time over by lewiston. We started to do a 33mile loop and there is a 25 mile loop that connects to it. I like technical trails but these were a bit to tight. We got on the snowmobile trail and that is nice to open them up for awhile but I prefer pushing my buddies threw tight corners or having them push me. Any suggestions to more trails like the ones close to bull gap?

How do I change my name? i can't be LTZLESS anymore.
Also how do I put pictures on here? WE have an awsome jump I want to show you. Right now the pictures of me are blurred but have a great one of my cousin on his EX.

No bent axle yet

We must have just missed each other at Mio that weekend b4 memorial day. We did the A Loop in the morning and then went to Bull gap and then took the trail to Mckenny later in the afternoon around 3pm. Maybe next time. As far as other trails similar to the ones around Bull Gap, we have been recently riding the Blue Bear trails up just west of Grayling. They have some tight trails, but they also have a lot of wide open snowmobile type trails. Some of the trails (B loop, ATV route) there are about 2 quad widths up to 4 quad widths. Others (C loop) is tight, hard to fit even one quad through sometimes. I personally like the tight, winding, technical trails. Keeps you one your toes.

I am not sure how to put pictures up on the posts, you may want to ask the mediators. Or, e-mail them to me at cobudzin@peoplepc.com

LTZLESS, how did you do running at Bull Gap? Did you race anyone or just run up and down for the fun of it? I was there on Memorial Day weekend, but only as a spectator. I didn't see any Zs though...

I have to say I think alot of people were impressed. I blew away stock ex's. I also beat a 440ex. that guy was cool, he came right up to me and said "wow that is awsome". My cousin has a 440ex (he has put $1500+ in the motor and he consistantly beat me by a couple of lenghts every time. He is also is geared higher. I raced some guy with a '88 250r don't know all his mods but it was atleast a pipe and silencer with paddles and I beat him the first time but after that he kept beating me about the same as my cousin. I also beat my buddy on his Z and I beat a guy on a raptor and raced another raptor with paddles and he beat me but not till the top and it was not buy much more than what my cousin was beating me by. I got beat the worst by a guy on a quadracer. He came over and he had paddles piped, bored over,ported and polished with a rad valve. I also have paddles but didn't use them much cuz we were riding the trails too, but when i had them on i got out of the hole faster but i think they hurt my top end power. I think the only people i raced with them is the craptor that beat me and my cousin. We them put the paddles on my cousins and i beat him every time. His higher gearing must be to high for those tires. All in all i was happy and anyone that was there will have to say that my stock Z held its own against displacment and $$$. I can't wait to do the same mods that everyone else had.

Obud i am going to try to get some more pics tonight and i will send them to you.
