Nice looking "Z".......

nice pics and bike!  8)

Hey guys thanks! I appreciate it.

Where do I get tail like that?  :o

you run it over and make sure the guts are completely squished out.    lol ;)

haha I got that a long time ago on a hunting trip when I lived in Colorado. I'm sure you could find one in the woods and make yourself one lol. The guys up at Bithlo MX over in Orlando get a huge kick out of it when that thing is flappin around the track. (http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g114/RiggsAlstott3340/laughing.gif)

Nice Pics....Nice Bike

Haha, that was a big coon!! Nice pics, and love the tail. Wish I would have thought of it.

Well guys do tend to like following tail on the track.  However, I'm not so sure they like following flapping tail.  Would that require tear offs?

Whats your name Team Alba z400 rider, I might know you. ;D

   Kewl looking Z.You should come to Croom May 5th.There's gonna be a bunch of us there.

Hey guys thanks!


trx#9, My name is Patrick Riggs, how do you think you know me? from Bithlo? I go up there maybe 1 or 2 times a month with my buddy Jacob Priest, he has been racin for a while now, although he is on two wheels. CRF-450r, you might know him, I'm not sure. My cousin races at Dade. Has been for a long time. Started out on a 250r way back in the early 90's and now hes on a 450r, name is Eric Emanuelson.

ScratchupBangupBoy, I would so be there bro, but I have spring football going on, and I have practice at 8 on saturday morning, or I would be there. How has it been down there? I haven't gone since last summer, word is up here that it is getting really whooped out all over the place.

hey Alba z400

TRX#9 is Eric Emanuelson.

Whats up cus. ;D

Haha family re-union lol, Hey alba, this is klutch from z400central, you'll see me online here alot more.
How ya liken them elkas?

   Hey, I'm Chino.But noone knows me, I'm slow!!LOL Croom has been whooped out for as long as I can remember.It's still kewl to ride though.Maybe next time.

HAH! whats up Eric, that swedes tile co. should of gave it away for me in your sig, but I didnt see that. Whats goin on with you? When is your next race? I'll have to make my way down there.


Whats up Klutch, Yeah i figured this was you to lol, I saw your post in this forum with your 400's. Man, I'm lovin the Elkas, what a great difference, right now im savin up to get me some epic +2 A-arms and some rezzies for the elkas. How are ya doin buddy? You been back out to seminole latley?

I'm going to call you coon boy from now on,lol; I been racing a bit lately also hurt my back recently in Georgia racing. Going riding tomorrow or this weekend hopefully. Your brother didn't tell me you hopped that 400 up. Be careful with the a-arms you might have to lengthen the shock to work correctly. We need to hook up and do some riding. You like the track or trails better.   

Haha coon boy, I remember those days. Sorry about your back dude, yeah we'll have to hook up some time. As for the 400, it's pretty much became a money pit haha. I'll be careful with the a-arms, I'm not gonna go long travel, I'm gonna stay standard travel for now. I don't have the money for the high-end stuff. I like a little of both the track and trails. I love the tracks but i mainly ride trails, cuz there right here and I can just go out there. Heard you blew up your car a while back eh?

I can blow up anything, I don't discriminate. ;D

Hey, it happens..

If you like riding trails, you might want to re-think your +2 a-arms.  I did Laeger's on my Raptor and rudely found out it was a lot harder to squeeze between the trees with those extra 4".  I ended up having to go with Douglas 4+1 Shamrocks to skinny it back up a little.  If you can swing the bucks, LT is nice to have.  I've got TCS LT with my Laeger's and it made a world of difference the way the Rappy handles. 

Thanks for the advice, and believe me I have already tooken this into consideration long before I even had the money to dish out for some A-arms. The trails up here are very wide, you could practically drive a truck through it. I see a lot of rhinos, mules, polaris rangers, etc..going through the same trails that I run through, so the extra width would not be a problem at all. Thanks for looking out though, I appreciate it.

I havent been to seminole in a little over a year, last time i was out their my battery box fell out so i have been out for a while lol. I see you still have that snow plow bumper haha, that thing is massive.lol

think i recognize a few of the places in those pics, are they off the RR tracks in crystal river or near mini farms?

Nope, there off of Rock Crusher, near the canyon.


Klutch, don't you make fun of my bumper now lol. I was getting ready to buy the Alba pro elite one, but they dont make them anymore for the Z...so I'm still looking, not trying to spend a fortune on a friggin bumper, I got other priorities lol.

likin the tail nice bike

oh ok, havn't rode out there in a while, last time i rode around there it looked like they were starting to build by one of the pits
