Title: Reality sunk in
Post by: CABLEGUY1 on January 24, 2005, 06:11:57 PM
Yeah I thought my stock DS 650 was the fastest quad on the planet. Then reality hit me in the face. I was minding my own buisness racing my brother on his friends Z 400  over and over again feeling pretty good when all of a sudden I noticed that there was 1 then 2 then 3 other quads that joined in.I think they were the new honda 450s. I couldn't tell as they were blowing by me.lol. I was riding the DS 650 that would hit 4th gear and bog out and have to sit in the center of the pit and choke it to get it started again. I think the carb kept loading up. I did this several times thinking that it would miracuosly fix itself. Im not making excuses those were definately fast bikes.Faster than mine for sure.I think one of them was the infamous Chuck Norris. I may be wrong. If you were one of those bikes PLEASE tell me they had more done to them than just a pipe and paddles. They definately got my respect. I think I'll be visiting mike as soon as I can hide some mad money from the wife. I was humbled to say the least. Thanks again for the dose of reality.

as long as you keep all 4 wheels on the ground instead of trying to take off and fly you'll be in great shape. I thought I was fast, then I line up against chillinthemost. come to think of it I think Hi-jacked got the race your talking about on my video camera, Ill look again to make sure. here is a pic of mine.

yeah, if you think your 450 or 450r is bad, bring it out to saltsdale, cause chillin loves a good race.  seriously, i have not seen a 4 stroke hang with it yet.
