Got about 30 hours on the Raptor now and everything is still performing perfectly. Had a little mishap yesterday doing doughnuts in gravel. I was due a spill, haven't been thrown in quite a while. And of course it happened when everybody and their brother was there to see it. Got to love that. LOL. The gravel and ground was still a little wet, and better packed down than I though. I was in 2nd doing donuts, and got a little too heavy on the throttle. It came out of the doughnut raised up on the right rear wheel, dumped me, fell over and rolled upside down. It popped the shroud off of the right headlight, and broke the plastic around the bolts holding on the headlight. The headlight is still on there good, just have to replace it when I get time. It also scratched up the side of the back end of the pipe, and some scratches on the master cylinder, as well as a couple gouges on the fenders. It's all good though, gives it more personality. Didn't buy it for pretty shows anyway. Rode it for the rest of the day, and had a blast.

 

lol i would be pretty upset

 

Hey man, good job! That's how your suppose to ride them anyways! There made to go fast and get beat up! A few scratches wont make it any different, but now becareful though!

The only damage i got was today and ITS a masive bruise like welt on my thigh cause i went off a jump and got a handle bar there.

 

Sorry to hear about the pitch off GreenBeast, I would be pissed, but, what can you do? Thanks for the reports on how it's performing, mine is still sitting in the garage, I do start it up and wipe it down everyday though. Next Saturday I ride it for the first time, at the dunes, alittle break-in time.

 

Happrap, gotta know about the dunes. Need to order paddle tires for mine and Im thinkin skat trak edges. Let us know how it does in the dunes. I have no doubt it will shine!!!

 

I'll be running Extreme Haulers, staight 8 paddles, I like the straights for climbing the big dunes at Winchester Bay, I'll be sure in give reports on my rides, especially at the dunes [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
