Surprised it isn't socked in, usually when it gets into the 100's here in the valley the coast is solid mist. Looks like there must of been some nice wind to smooth it all out. Do yourself a favor and leave that little postage stamp and head over to the Spinreel/Horsfall area. So much more area to ride.

First time I ever rode over there was in 84, a friend I used to race with finally talked me into loading up the dirt bikes and heading over. We stayed there in Houser in the overflow. It was the 4th of July weekend and I was hooked. Tried to buy land there when they took the old mill out but they could never close the deal because they kept have problems splitting the lot. My kids practically grew up there and now I take my grandkids.

No Raptor pics this week. The Raptor guys are headed to the coast tomorrow and it's just too far for a day ride and then work the next day, so I passed. Think I'll take my oldest grandson as part of his Xmas present during Xmas break. Did take my grandsons up yesterday, always a blast!

He loves it, think he'd sleep with it if he could 
When his buddies come over the first place they head out to is the shop so he can fire it up. I've ridden it quite a bit, revs quick and slides very nice. I like the reverse actuator being on the bars so you don't have to reach down to the fender, you don't notice how much of a pain that is until you don't have to do it. Doesn't have the arm pulling power of the 700, but the thing hauls ass through the woods. We like to push the limits as far as speed goes here and there and it keeps right up. You can ride it harder and not overpower the corners like you can on the 700 which is fun. But I won't be trading either of my Raptors for one, I'll just ride his

Snow was a lot lower than we figured and nearly froze to death! Fun to ride up to and play in, not so great to spend the whole day in. This was most defiantly a day to leave the quads at home and take the Yxz with windshields and a heater But we weren't that lucky this day...
