I am happy with being faster than any bike out there that isn’t heavily modified. So Id put 2-3K into my LT500r and spend the rest on a mid size utility quad.

last time i checked sam and ed's gsxr wasnt a sled motor. Either is sam whittens bike, and either is mike goodales. So again YOUR wrong. Your talking about SLED motors with JACKSHAFT's and BELT drive and SINGLE speeds. Your are wrong guys. Your talking different motors. The streetbikes are fast. I never said they werent. I said the triples werent fast as you guys make them out to be (pertaining to the H2 motor somebody mentioned, and only kurtz, and about 2 others that actually run...with a huge shot of no2). Your sled motor wont run like you think it will. Im sorry to disagree with you too. Please read my post again. I said nothing about streetbike motors. Sam and Ed's motor was fast, but it wasnt as quick as i think it should have been. It was fast though. So was white knuckles bike. Yes i was there and i was getting extremely irritated waiting for those fools to finally line up right! I didnt see any snomo motors run worth a damned. I saw adrinaline powersports 700 snomo run alright, but he couldnt get it to go in a straight line. He seemed to want to run the crowd over...twice. I'll PM and see if you have video of us.

You two talking about records, is that sand or dirt? I saw a T-Rex Banshee run a 4.0?, I think it was a 4.04, on dirt which is below what your record is. The same day I saw a snomo triple (900 I think) in a Polaris Sport run a 4.00.

No what he is talking about is King Of The Hill (KOTH). It is where the baddest of the bad run Sand Mtn Nevada on Memorial and then they run on Sand Mtn UT on Labor day weekends. There are two objects to the game. One is to hit the top speed via a radar gun, the other of course is to be the first to the top. These Mtn's are about double if not triple(UT) in size from the hill that FSW's was on.

I was just saying that the GSXR's were fast I know you weren't saying they weren't. The sled bike I was refering to was a white one with a red frame(if I remember right). There is a pic of it on Jeffnrivercity's web page. He was the MORON or should I say Moreoff that was doing all that racing without wearing a helmet. I thought it was cool that when Sand Sport Magazine did there review there was not one picture of someone racing that did not have their helmets on. What is it with the Banshee crowd anyways?? They have these insane rides but ride with no helmets on, Tshirts optional, with a baseball cap on turned backwards. I guess they think it looks cool, it DOESNT, it makes you look like a stupid F-cking idiot that wants to do nothing but be detrimental to our sport. GO AHEAD AND FEED THE ACTIVISTS WHY DON"T YA!!!

Not saying you Beech, sorry for the rant [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] but not sorry for it's meaning.

Hey now demon, dont be dissing the banshee crowd. You cant lump one group of people together like that.

And besides, it seems more like a utah thing, I guess the belief in god is strong enough so they dont have to wear a helmet, or maybe it is that their heads are too big to fit in one.

Just kidding, but I do see more idiots without helmets running around in utah.

Its a Mississippi thing too. I am one of the very few people that wear a helmet when not MX racing. I know two other guys that do and thats about it.
