Where are TP and Big Air Kate when you need them to weed out your trailmix for you?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] darn M&M's and raisins.

 

I added pics of the kids' Sunday ride to the MSN site.

The girls totally LOVE the new quads - music to a quaddin' parent's ears!

 

Right after I built my motor I was taken that white Zuki of Justin's by a good 4-5 quad lenghts. After 4 times at Mx races, 2 days of TT races, 2 times at Flattrack races, 2 Beverly days, and 2 trips to Oregon dunes I am now getting smoked by a 14yr old on a STOCK Arctic Chicken! It is kinda funny too cuz at all the races it ran like a champ and not one mechanical breakdown, but everytime I get into SAND Something breaks and she runs oh so sharty!

I think Karl put it best when he said keeping the quad as close to stock as possible is the best route for a Duner.

I am gonna tear the old KGB Quad down and check compression, valve clearance, put in the REAL manual clutch I have on the bench and if I can talk Lu into it I might end up seeing how much I can get off a new Raptor 700 with my trade in[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img].

One more gas milage report.


While we were down there at Florence and after Joel told us of his misfortune I figured Id take the slow route home and do the speed limit. My F150 with the toyhauler and 2 bikes comes in at about 12000.

I was getting 7.8 to 8 mpg where ever I went. Not knowing that I was supposed to stay at 60 I drove at 70.

Coming home, I kept it right at 55 in Oregon and 60 in Washington.

And I got 9.1 MPG coming home.

So, for me the trip down to Florence and back was about 680 miles.

Going slower saved me 13 gallons of fuel. About $35 bucks.

BUT, it took probably an hour longer each way. So, is time worth more than the fuel saved?

Personally Id rather spend the extra to get off the road sooner

 

BossMan is Kenny, one of our first Easton rides he was on the Honda 250 Fourtrax riding like a madman, keeping up with the front of the pack, he's in my gallery.
