hey how does your wtec quad compare to other top quads??? never seen one of those out on the dunes, comparing it to a raptor, do you smoke the raptor???? what cc is that machine?

do you get any crap from cops from your truck because your license plate is easy to see????? thats a nice set up you have.....beats hauling a trailer!! we might go to winchester, but we are not getting to florence until late friday sowe might just hang at florence and ride since we are going back on sunday!

so where is everyone riding this weekend in florence???? you guy are coming right? if ayone does come down you can find us at comphill alot of the times, blue raptor and green(ugly) vforce...hahaha
guy on the vforce talks alot of crap!!!
do we have any riders??? looks like it will be pretty nice down there for the weekend. crappy on friday but nice sat and sun.

well we are riding florence only, only because we are getting down to florence late on friday night and we just wanna ride all day on saturday and not drive. we would have been down there but friday is going to be a late start. if you come to florence we will have a blue raptor stock, and either a yellow honda with cut plastics or a green vforce. we usually hangout around comphill and flats and other big hills there.

draggen....actually i need to update my mods because i just added a a new sprocket... i went with the 12 tooth sprocket and stock in the rear. i remember when i had my honda i talked to a guy with a raptor and he was beating honda's, the v-force, many raptors, so i am going to try out my sprocket....up it kicks ass.....i love to race at comp hill even if i dont win but i think it might change this weekend, i hope to start in 2nd gear...heard it does well.
well the night before dunes trip is always fun got all packed ready to roll out of the garage....so you guys in florence!!

later guys

tell me about your crash??? floremce was ok....not alot of people really there, comp hill was pretty laid back. sand was pretty wet, i was spining out at comp hill at the starting line. there were a couple couple spots where you would just stop because of the sand. i saw a couple ds's there but didnt go up and ask....good thing. they looked all stock anyways. hey are the new ds's out yet??? heard they made a few changes, lighter, smaller and cheaper!

there nice i've rode with him a few times, and he let me ride it. it seems different but it grows on you real fast, so fast that i'd like one for a second quad, it does great in drag racing i don't think he was losing to anything that was stock, and he has the stock ktm 520 engine. the only down side is the price 10,000. but he if you look seems like he sells quads a lot maybe there we be a used one for sale soon

THinking of going to Winchester on SAT 22nd . Maybe we can hook up and ride together. Look for my quad with American flag and/or Black Toyota TRD Tacoma at far parking lot#3

Nice try Sandman, but you woun't see the WTEC for sale in this lifetime. lol Too bad I can't talk some of you guys into going to Winchester this Sat. I'm going to Florence on the SAT + SUN after Thanksgiving so need to go to Winchester this Sat. Those of you that have met me and ridden my WTEC know I love it. Stock for stock the WTEC will win but ofcourse no one keeps them stock very long,but watch out this next year. How 'bout it bighonda and others, go to Winchester so I can take U to spots to get in trouble.

Ah!! The stories these eyes could tell!!!

wtecEraserman. How's that thing run, I've yet to see one. Are they a european quad, I haven't heard much about them. How much are they stock. What year is your's. Sorry if I ask too many ?'s. I've just never seen one before.

Posted by: draggincannibal

bighonda. I see that your raptor is stock. A very cheap mod that the raptor loves is a one tooth down sprocket. I raced one before I had any mods and he could beat my cannondale up comp hill. I was pissed because I'd never been beaten by any mild mod raptors. He had a pipe on it also, but the he told me that the sprocket made the biggest difference.
