My brand new black and white Raptor is now in my garage. I have been waiting on it for over a month. The dealer called friday morning and told my wife my raptor had come in.Friday i was snowed under with work. By 3:00 P.M. could not stand it no more, had to go pick it up. Got home with it and rode for 20 minutes and had to get back to work. Never got past 3rd gear. Rain was headed toward our area and i was finishing bulldozer work on a new tank on our property. Took the raptor out on a spin at 2o A.M. after i finished dozing on the tank. What a KILLER RIDE!!!! Anyway the rains came and to day was crappy! Moved the cars out of the garage so i could ride the raptor inside. I am to old to be this excited about a new toy.

 

LOL!! I can totally relate. I got everybody up at 5 AM last Xmas so my oldest could unwrap his new XR50.
Now all you need is a Moose XCR jacket and a pair of roll off gogles and you can laugh at rain storms.

 

If you gas it hard you could cut some donuts in your garage. hehe

 

mudrush-i have already mastered the donuts in the garage. Today it got muddy,but i got muddier. I put about 15 miles on it riding on the farm to market road today. It is such a SWEET ride. If a 400 ex can out run it in a drag those 400"s must be really WICKED.

 

Congrats on the new ride. The wait is the worst part.
I got mine in Sept. and rode all winter. Life it too short, get some rainy weather gear and hold that mother WFO.

 

Hey, just be happy that you don't live in Michigan. All week long it was in the 50's (and I thought I was going to get to ride) and then it snowed Saturday and Sunday.

 

I feel your pain. This %&^*#@@ rain is killing me.

 

Oh yeah I was riding yesterday and it was below 35 and I went through this one creek(after installing the new swingarm skidplate) and got stuck on a rock half ways in!! I started throwing water up in the air and right down MY BACK!! BRRRRRRRRRR, I get shivers reliving the moment, next week is suppose to be a lot better. I hope.

3Congrats on the new ride--they're awesome aren't they.

 

14mins- RaptorRRC and I were just discussing you getting a new bike this weekend. I met him at the sand dunes and were wishing you could have made the trip. It was my first time at the dunes and I don't think I have ever enjoyed riding as much as I did this weekend. RRC had rounded up a bunch of his friends and met there. At one point, Sat., I counted 26 quads riding in our group. (7 were Raptors and there were some other Raptors there but were not in this group). Fri. was great weather but by Sat. it had truned cold and the wind chill was 29, but not noticeable while riding. Just couldn't have been more fun. Let's get a ride going soon.

 

ive had my raptor for a month now and dont even have a half an hour riding time on it! all it has done is snowed since i got it. oh well i cannot wait till the weather breaks. if i would have bought a snowmobile there wouldnt be any snow.
