Some People..


Recommended Posts

I went to a riding party today with the Shee andh theres this guy there with a STOCK Predator, and he comes over and says, nice bike you got there, I raced a guy who had $11,000 into his banshee motor and beat him by 100yds. Then his friend comes over and says, you telling him about you beating the kid with 14,000 into his motor?? He says yeah, then he goes on to tell me that my gear ratios and rpm range would not allow me to beat him. Of course the whole time he is talking shit his predator is strapped to the bed of his truck. I was so pissed I was beat red in the face, and about to lay into the stupid fucker, but I held myself back. Just needed to vent...

BTW, I would like to know, is it even possible to put $11,000 in aftermarket parts into the motor??

yep, the Govt might spend 10,000 on a Motor!!!  after all we have hundered dollar bolts, and 1,000 dollar ladders!

Were building some egressladders for the USAF that cost a lot more than that. Most of it is to cover the 12 months of paper work chasing we have done :angry:

Egress ladders for what? buildings?

I work in Aviation Life Support for the Marines, and I've helped myself to plenty of cadium-plated hardware for the shee. It's probably the most valuable ATV in the county that's still stock. Gotta love the Government.

That's when you say put up or shut up. I've raced a few Predators at the dunes and after the first 50 feet they are just eating sand. If I dropped that kind of $$ into a turd on wheels I'd probably talk shit too though to try and save some face. :bolt:
