Man,

I just got my first look at the FUELATV stem and I can tell you that the quality of that thing was "TOP NOTCH".

It looked awsome. I know what stem I'm getting when it's time for a replacement. It was a chrome stem and it had a lot of BLING to it.

The DASA pipe looked and sounded nice also. It tucks under the LTR nicely.

Hey Steve where can TED get a set of clamps with the mounting brackets for a heat shield for that thing?

Ted also had the Precision on there too but he had it dialed in WAY too soft.

You know I noticed something today that I never realized. I never knew shocks would break in. I got on my friends LTR (he's only really ridden it twice) and that sucker was stiff and he backed his fronts off as far as I did. It was a night and day difference on the small bumps. We had a blast at the MX track though.

Got my ego boosted a little today. All the young quad guys were like "Damn look at that old man he's ripping".

Little do they know that I'm just "STUPID".

Yup, I actually wrote a post about the break-in period of shocks soon after the LTR came out. They have a DEFINITE break-in time where they will loosen up and big performance is to be had.

What track did you head to?

Just outside of Goldsboro. It's a nice area to ride if you go when it's dry. You could ride all day and never hit all the trails.

Because at Buscoe when it rains it's a Mudfest. Last two times I went I came back covered from head to toe in mub and I"m not talking about splatters. It's low land that is just off a river.

Ok AL ....... you confused me.

You said you went to WideopenMx last week --- I said how far is that from me -- you said outside of Goldsboro -- You said that's where you plan on riding if its not wet -- then you say Buscoe. So I thought Wideopen was part of Buscoe ----------------
WHERE IN THE HELL ARE YOU "GANA" RIDE ???????????? :lol:

How was WideopenMx -- I went to the website -- I can't figure out how they came up with that name.

Was it dry ?? I am talking about WideopenMx AL not Buscoe -- so don't get confused here. Looks like it would be really soft and loamy if it was dry... at Wideopen.... not Buscoe.
