This is a very serious concern. If I don't get riding time in my work and home life suffers. Income drops and kids turn to drugs along with us parents for having no social life or danger in our lives. 

tempting...need to see where the funds are this week. Hurricane Days inn is usually the cheapest and closest too.

Getting the itch to ride this weekend down to the dunes. Salt lake is expecting a storm but further south the better. Anyone interested?

If you are going with a build without turbo's talk to Chris @ benchmark performance. He helped with the components of a great 686 build when my 660 died. I had a local company do all the milling and installation of the motor itself. He knows alot when it comes to motors and worked for Honda a few years back. 760-484-0986 or Chris@benchmarkperformance.com

Note to self... you will spend 3k+ on a good build and you could invest that into a new machine. Lesson learned!

A 450 will easily smoke a belt if it is used in high range and constantly getting stuck. Is it ventilated?

450's are really a utility machine instead of a sport like the 660 or 700. They are great for plowing and pulling but suffer when it comes to duning or running at their top speed of 33 mph.

Every year I see this and wonder why the manufacture should be liable when there is enough safety decals on these things to prevent "accidents". When the wheel falls off or the engine seizes from factory issues is a manufacture issue. It is our responsibility as parents to make sure we as well as other drivers have the IQ to operate safely. We all feel for your loss still but when do we be ome responsible citizens and quit allowing the government to wash their hands in other business?

Also, why did you have to screw up four other threads in the process of posting this again?

These storys are always upsetting considering they are there to serve and protect what happens on our public lands. Maybe next trip there will be a new grave up there for the shooter.
