    VIDEO: 1986 250R versus 2005 TRX 450R

    Not really a fair race. That 450r is as bone stock as they get. Still makes for a good vid though.

    This is part of a really long vid that's been on my youtube channel for a long time so if it looks familiar, that's why. I just trimmed this piece out of it because it's the best part.

    HA! Total owned, any way it's sliced. It's proof that the 4th wheel just slows you down!

    The Good:
    1985 1/2 Tri-Z - Daily Rider - Pretty much stock ( wink )
    1985 1/2 Tri-Z - Custom Black & Gold, Top mount plastic tank, custom 3D printed airbox, Banshee shock
    1985 Tri-Z - Rider restore in process

    The Bad:
    1988 TRX250R with 86 ATC 250R Motor and Swinger - Screamer!

    The Ugly:
    1993-ish Banshee / 2003 Motor by VSR in Belding, MI - Duner Fun!!
    2000-ish Banshee / Motor by RDZ Racing in Fowlerville, MI - Another Duner!

    Make sure you hit the thumbs up (on youtube, not just here) because the quad lovers are probably gonna try to bury it with negs.

    We have something like coal hills. Just way bigger and way more abrasive to your bling. It's a place called Cinders near Meteor crater north of Flagstaff. It's like dunes made of tiny lava rocks. They're deep too. You step off the bike and sink to your ankle immediately in a lot of places. Here's a vid. Sorry it's not high def.

    I haven't been back up there since I made that vid. Wanted to go this summer to get some GoPro HD footage but dislocated a shoulder then got fired from my job. Kinda put a dent in my riding plans.
