Roslyn
Have any of you ridden at/in Roslyn? Ive ridden at Cle Elum (Silver Ridge Ranch) but I really dont like the LONG dusty power line trails, I prefer more in the woods type trails or hill climbs. Also I dont think I will ever stay at Silver Ridge Ranch again, the old lady who runs/owns the place is a real B*tch and makes you feel at home like the Bates Motel. LOL

Any suggestions on Roslyn?????

2mny,

You had asked about riding. I think we're gonna head down to da dunes next week and play around for a week or so - pretty much stay til we want to come home.

Now that the outlaw and the pheonix are broke in, they are ready to ride. We'll have the 4 pooplarises, but the 80 is a question mark.

When were ya thinking of going and where? I'm flexible (in spirit at least [img][/img] )</end quote></div>

I plan on riding the Naches trail next weekend (21st). The following weekend might be a go for the dunes. I need to work the details out though. If you're still down there then we'll definately have to ride.

I'd prefer to go to Coos Bay to get some good rides in. If I go, it would just be me (unless someone else wanted to go down with me) and I'd get a motel and use the day-use.

Nope he just lowered the price by $100. Here is the link:

The 50 is a considered one of the mini 50's so smaller and good starter for a small child. Don't know bout the 500, maybe 2mny could comment, its his expertice</end quote></div>

Just reading the ad brings a question to mind. Why the new plastics and handle bars? Speaking from experience, I only replace these if I bent the old ones. On a predator, the bracket that holds the steering stem will fold over if it was endo'd and you'd have to replace the steering stem, most likely the plastics too. No wonder he say's it's a clean bike. You can take the front fenders off the bike and check the braket, it will have folds in the sides, even if it was straighend. 3 Torx 25 screws and the fender comes off. Even if it were bent, it's no big deal, it just provides a little info on the bike. All that asside...

Predators are a great machine but only worth what the market will bear in stock form... kbb.com states the stock machine is $4095 retail, $2815 trade-in. The yosh pipe means that you'll be non-compliant at the oregon dunes, they ring in louder than 96 db, I place no value on the pipe, but if it's important to you... add $200 max. The paddle tires are worth the retail price, you'll have to find out what they are and add that, if you want paddle tires. K&N is nice, but adds no value. The jet kit is snake-oil, jets are jets. I'd have a hard time paying $4800 for that machine even with the paddle tires. Knock it down to $4200 would spark an interest. This is just my opinion, it's only a good deal if "YOU" think it's a good deal.

Put a stock pipe on the machine, send the carb to Nicholas Cycle to be ported and put a 10,000 rpm cdi on the machine, and you'll spank a lot of the machines out there for less money than the Yoshi pipe and have more performance in addition to being compliant on the oregon sand dunes. However, the Yoshi pipe and the previous set-up will still rock. Still go with the K&N filter, but on the stock air intake box and snorkle, the improvements are neglegable.

The package deal is a good deal if you're looking for both quads and the trailer, jump on it.

If you don't care if you have reverse, the 03 and 04 bikes are less money.

All that said, the predator is an awesome machine and is a great bike to have (I have two). They are great on the dunes and trails, you'll hang with everyone.
