I always have a huge supply of those charcoal filled heaters- they go in the boots and the gloves, and no problems.

Hell, they sell them at 7/11 here right on the counter year-around LOL! :laugh:

I don't care what anyone says....I wimped out and got the warmest socks and boots I could......WigWam socks and Sorel boots.....

And, battery-powered socks just in case.....

And, disposable toe-warmers....

And, reusable hand-warmers....

And, just installed heated grips.....

And, battery-powered gloves just in case.....

And, I do the "put the gloves over the exhaust" trick....

And, I got the Carhart coveralls rated down to umpteen below 0º F......

Ya see, I don't _mind_ the cold, I just HATE _being_ cold!

Sorry to hear that Bot!!!! My Dad has been fighting for his life for almost 2 yrs now....He is starting to Lose:frown:
Sorry to hear that MWKE and StoopidBot. Also know how you feel about cancer as I lost my Dad to it in July!

Bot...MWKE...BB, I'm so sorry to hear. I have never lost anyone to cancer, although both my dad and grandma have had skin cancer...and my other grandma had a brain tumor they thought could be cancerous that actually did kill her....

I feel lucky to be one of the few that haven't experienced a true loss to cancer.

I hate any disease in general that takes the lives of the ones we care about.

I hope from the bottom of my heart you or any body else will never lose any one to cancer. !!!!!!!!!!!

My Dad has it right now. He is doing good now I just don't want him to get bad. He has colorectal cancer and is not going to have surgery. He is trying a Homeopathic treatment.

I am trying. Thanks BB.
No Thanks needed. I watched my dad fade away from cancer, during a 19 month battle. I know how you feel . PM me or we will try to set up a chat sometime. The above goes for you MWKE and / or anyone who is or has lost someone to cancer.

My Dad use to say keep your chin up and keep on going(one day at a time). Sorry to rant but this topic really hits me hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate 20 degree weather. It makes it too cold to ride.

I hate not being a millionaire so I have to work and can't ride and race all year round.

I like the millionaire comments I so feel the same way. I would like to have a place where we could have people come and ride and host some rides for people with special needs or monetarily challenged.

I can't imagine how you guys pull that off. We were just in a meeting at work talking about budget and stuff. It is scary times. We have had a few people at our church who are in a very bad way. It is time to buckle down until the economy can recover.

If racing ruins your NAD bearings, I think I'll stick to trail riding.

I agree, I wanna keep my nads intact!

Wheeler, the sad thing is that Kristin and I spend about the same on our toys each summer, we don't do 20 races!!!

Posted

that number i said before...that doesn't include the fuel for our wheelers, the food for the weekend, or if we have to stay in a hotel (like the further GNCC's)...or the time off from work we'll lose in wages, well Nick anyways....if I figured all of that in we'd probably be at about 7 G'sssss.....

and we can afford it because we have no kids, just puppies..we don't own our house, we rent...and in our area, rent isn't too expensive (we pay $400 monthly for a 3 BR 2 BA mobile home), and we both have pretty good paying jobs, especially for our ages. But, last year we only did the one GNCC so this year will prove quite the challenge. Anyone who wants to send me some money I'll slap your name on my quad and you can be my sponsor baaaahahahahahhaa :) :) :)

      Looking for something similar for my 2018 Sportsman – this helps.

    • By QuadConfussion
      Hey everyone! Just introducing myself and hoping I can get some insight on where to start. I have an older quad, my guess is about an 07. I know it’s a 700 but I’m having some stalling issues with it after it runs for about ten minutes it will die out. It will start right back up and run but after a minute or two it will die again. Any suggestions on where to start checking things?

      Hello and happy new year!  Hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday season.  I’ve been talking with @06kfx440 and thinking about or hoping I should say that any Quadcrazy members in or around the N.Y. area would like to try and spend a day of riding together.    @06kfx440 has a place for us to get together where we should be able to meet offload and go riding.   Maybe pack a cooler with food and drinks and anything else anyone can think of to bring.   It would be cool if some of us could get together and ride for a day have some fun and put a name to a face! Check out everyone’s bikes and shoot the sh**! Nothing crazy and no long drawn out rides where anyone gets lost or disruptive, drunk or stupid.  Just some fun trail riding.    Any suggestions/input-would be great.  Let us know what you think. Maybe April ? @06kfx440made a good point that it’s still cool enough but also not too cool.😎  This goes out to all members that feel like taking the ride and joining us should this come together. #letsdoit

      I Hey guys, I just picked up a TRX450R in a trade.  I think it has a bad clutch, but my experience with a  Manual clutch on a quad is very limited...  Don't get me wrong, I can drive a manual car and have rode dirt bikes in the past... It's been a good minute on a dirt bike though.
       
      If I give it some throttle and slowly let out the clutch it seems to catch hard and stall out.  Even with a decent amount of throttle.
       
      Any ideas? Could it be adjustment on the clutch in not the clutch itself?
       
      I plan to upload a link to video when I can. I'm not sure how permissions go on this forum and I may need approval 1st...
