Okay, after a long fun night at the bar with DDR until 130 in the morn, my neighbor texted me to make sure I was up to go for my early mornin ride to break in my quad's new motor :drinkbeer: I've had it back a month and haven't had a chance to break it in yet since there's been so much going on lately. I got my ramp last week, and had no problem loading my quad into my truck (yay!) So even after a night of drinkin I can drive my quad in straight lol. Good to know. :laughing: After stopping at every convenience store between here and Apex for my neighbor to look for 2-stroke oil :beer_bang: I finally mentioned to my VERY hung-over neighbor that maybe we should find an Auto store instead. Apparently he was out until 5 :clap:, I thought I was hurtin till I saw him, lol. One stop at Autozone and we were finally on our way. We just went out to Apex since it's so close to my house, I'd never been there before. My neighbor had been so he showed me how to get there and where to park for the dirt/rock side and where the sandier area parking is. We did the Dirt/Rock area, rode for close to 2 hours in already 100 degree weather, and then headed home. I know it's gonna be asked, so the answer is NO, I didn't get any pics, it was too hot to even think of it, once we unloaded we just got moving so we'd stay cooler with the breeze. Next time we'll go earlier and hit the sandier area, I just wanted to break in my quad right now. It's not the dreamiest riding area, but when I need a fix I know i can drive 15-20 mins and get to it when I don't have time to go anywhere else. I'm cool with that!

So summing it all up, having a quad that runs the way it's SUPPOSED TO friggin rocks :clap: Now I can really concentrate on ridin better, instead of havin to worry about my quad boggin down when I'm goin up a dune :drinkbeer: I want to thank everyone that was at the Bach Party when it ceased for helpin and letting my friends who borrowed it that weekend know what to do about it. I'm not sure who all helped, but you know who you are, so thanks so much! Suzuki took care of it and replaced EVERYTHING except the piston, which I bought. I wouldn't have had a clue to the issue if it weren't for the DDR guys that explained it to my friends. :beer_bang: :clap:

depending on what part of town and how much oil he needed i have a few extra bottles of castor on the shelf in my garage and about 3 gallons of race gas mixxed w/ 927 @ 40:1 :P I aint gonna use it until i figure out the demons hiding inside my carb so i would have gladly gave some of it up :D

:D Thanks Nick, I'll keep that in mind when we go again, had I known he needed any I'd have picked it up Friday when I was at the quad store :clap: I'm out North. Oh, another funny moment, my hungover neighbor asking me how many ounces in a liter, uh, :beer_bang: I've never owned a 2 stroke or I'm sure I'd learn the conversions, lol. I know how much oil I need to change my oil. I know the ratio of the mixture from being around when friends have mixed theirs, but I couldn't think of the ounces to liters conversion to save my life this morning. I'm sure someone will fill me in now :clap::clap: Maybe I was right, but I wasn't gonna be responsible for effin that up if I wasn't...

LOL Ok Nick, is there anything else in your garage you want to get rid of? Should I just bring the truck over and load up? HAHA, just kiddin. It's not his quad, it's a POS his buddy stores in his garage, so he even brought a tow strap in case I needed to tow him back in, and he asked me if I had zip ties cuz the front plastic was only on by 1 of 4 screws, lol... Yeah it was a pretty comical morning. He must've gotten the mixture alright, we didn't use the tow strap. He actually owned a dirtbike when I moved in next door, but had noone to ride with anymore, so he sold it. I told him I know plenty of good ppl to ride with, he might want to go get a new toy, haha.

Yeah, I did notice from one point we stopped at the veiw of the whole city, and thought about how cool that would be in t he evening, so maybe next fall I'll have to check that out, in the meantime, it was way too hot when we went, I'm gonna have to get up at the Buttcrack of Before Dawn to be able to ride and not get Heatstroke. The 2 hours I spent yesterday in 100 degrees temp. riding my quad was outta sheer determination. I'm surprised I handled it, I don't handle the heat well unless water is involved, aka lake or pool...

That's cool. Blue Steel likes Apex. I think it's just okay. I like the S turns in the sandy area. That's pretty fun. Logandale is further, but I like it a little better (plus we can dip in the reservoir). :whoop:
