I never knew how good a quad in the garage smelled. Don't laugh at me yet!!! I have been without a quad for 4 years now, and I just picked up another 250R and it smells good. I walk out in the garage and I can smell the difference. Is it the plastic, the rubber, the premix, I don't know, but it just flat out smells good. Now, everyone go out and smell your quad....mmmmmmmmmmmmmgooood...told you so! :bounce: :bounce: :love: :love:

Congrats on the quad

What year did you get?

I tried The only thing I smell in my garage is stale beer cans :beer:

im sure its bad for you but i love that smell to. its the mix between the gas, old dirt on the bike, and the smell of happiness. it sucks cuz we have a glass door in my house and you can see the toyz everytime you walk by it. its like teasing you saying "come on lets go ride. its not that hot"

I have to stay out of the garage. I'd be too tempted to take the bikes down the street and wear out the paddles. :dis:

see thats why i put my knobbies on before the end of the season. i can run up and down when i want to then hide in the garage when the police roll by.

I live down the street from the beach. Nothing like a few donuts and wheelie's at night.

I found an 86 250R with a 89 engine in it. Check this out; brand new plastic all around with Nacs graphics, new seat and Nacs cover, Holeshots, works shocks, Durablue axle, Paul Turner pipe, new PRM bumper and grab bar, freshly powdercoated A arms, motor mounts, and steering stem. The frame has fresh paint but I don't believe it is powder coated. new clutch & brake levers, JP swing arm that is supposedly 1 inch shorter than the stock 89 is. Thats cool because I like short swing arms. Does anyone know what happened to JP anyway, someone buy them out? It has a 36mm carb which is bored to a 38 which I feel is a bit much for a stock engine. I think I will put the 34 from my old 88 on it and get a little better bottom end from it. I do need to get some lights so I can do some night rides at "G" but that will be a while. I think I will start yanking the engine apart next week just to see what condition it's in. It runs good so I don't expect any surprises there. I picked it up for $4K, not too shabby. Looks like I will be taking a trip across country in October to show this mother some sand instead of red mud and trees.
Raise your beers to the sweet smell of quads brothers and sisters.
Mister Ed :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

Damn Eddy I am so glad you got it. Still haven't seen any pic's yet. Now October seem's even further away. Can't wait to go riding with you in mother G again. I'm stocked for you bro...

By the way I just got my motor updated to a 89 also. so it looks like our bikes are about the same. Let's ride. :bounce: And here's my :beer:.

Haven't taken any pics yet, but I will soon.

Yamiboy - too bad you don't live in AZ. I have my Raptor registered as a motorcycle and can ride it all day long on the street. :bounce:

i can appreciate your thrills with the smell.i go out to my toyhauler and sit in it and dream that its below 100 degrees in the desert.then if that isnt enough i have my knobbies on and ride my quad around the block a few times to get a little satisfaction.

the guy that has his raptor registered as a motorcycle-do you have turn signals and plates?

Don't need turn signals hand signals work fine all you need is brake lightRaptor already has ,horn the type you squeeze I belive is fine and a windshield , now that I want to see !
