I agree. You would have one sick bike. The quads rip, and the threewheeler would be insane.

chris..seriously.. that thing looks like it will chew me a new butt hole..Im Not worthy..

Ah, come on, I'm just trash talking to create suspense. It's more show than go....more bling than zing....etc. I can't wait to ride it again.

It looked promising for a couple of days but it looks like the rain and approaching warm weather has ended any hope for ice racing anytime soon. Hopefully we'll get some cold weather and we can get at least a few weeks of ice this winter.

Hi John.

I just got out of the basement abyss. I've got the 85 together with the FTZ motor and hope to run it tomorrow. The 86 is together but have a couple minor things to finish up. I ordered the parts and should have them this week, but won't prevent me from running the bike. I am EAGERLY waiting for further information. Please shoot me an email when you hear the good news.



dammit Raffa.....that is sick. I used to see a woman in the city as I left work. Her tits sat on her knees as she sat on a wall, but your avatar is nasty!!!

Damn,,,,,,i wish i lived beside you guys , i'd love to do ice racing, ,,,if i ever get the opportunity to do it, it would be on the 450.

Would need someone to take her for a spin, while am away woking for 1/2 the year, shame to let her sit idle

[JohnR.]

The cold last night seemed to do the lake some good. The local weather shows tomorrow the only day this week that it will get above freezing for a high temp. I've got to get out to the shed and do my axle bearings before I can hit the ice. I've spent whatever time I could for the last 3 weeks getting the Arctic Cat ready for plowing and fooling around with the 70's that I have neglected the R. I'll dig into it tomorrow.

Hop on a plane. I'll pick you up at the airport.

[ChrisD]

SWEET!!

Hey John, you should see his R's, especially his 450. He built an ATC450R and did it the right way! It looks like you would buy it from Honda. Awsome!

Actually, that's not a bad idea. The dollar is in the toilet vs the pound so it must be pretty cheap to get here.

[JohnR.]

I think there's even some flights into Stewart in Newburgh, that'd be pretty damn convenient for me.

Hey Chris, Howz things?

Firstly John, thank you very much for the kind offer, allthough the dollar is weak, a flight from Aberden to JFK would be around $700.00 ( per person ), not that bad actually.

However, as i work away from home for 6-7 months of the year, if i go on holiday the family has to come with, so are there many mall's near the lake .

I'll leave her shopping while myself and Drew ( my son ) rip it up. Also it's freezing in Aberdeen at the moment, if i told her were going on holiday, she'll be expecting sun, if i tell her were going ice racing on a "quad "( thats what she calls my trikes ) , i'll probably waken up in hospital .

Thanks alot guys,

I'll hopefully see some pics, if i ever get the chance to come over i'll know who to ask.

Ha Ha .. would you call that a Ice Racing trick? or just plain smart!

I knew that was coming as soon as I read 250rfan's post about shopping!

My wife has family that come over from Ireland once every year or so mainly to go shopping there and in Manhattan. NYC is only 50 minutes away.


John

[ChrisD]

how did this danm topic get to shopping anyway...just kidding. It's a great way to convince the wife to let me race, but boy is it an expensive weekend and I'm not talking the VP fuel.

Anyway, I spoke with Keith today and he said that the wind broke up all of the ice in NJ. Hopefully we can at least get to Tuscanos house.

Mr. Raffa....any luck out your way? Any ice to speak of? I feel like I'm dressed for the party but can't get a ride to get there.
