But between my brother and me we have got some air cooled R stuff that could make for a very cool ice racer.. So either way there will be a Freaks 250R there just dont know witch generation yet..


I bid on a headlight for my nephews R this morn,, ya now the one I mangled the first night at Brapps house.. LOL.... I was fine all weekend at brapps but I'll tell ya,, the aches and pains are setting in now..

[brapp]

hey raffa make that track as wide as a 4 lane freeway!!!!!! i am kickin it up to a 16 tooth front and were gonan let it eat!!!!!

[chris200x]

I wouldn't miss this one for the world!!!! Not sure how much riding I'll be able to do. being busted up and all... :rolleyes:

I'll bring the thunderstick! :naughty:

[DixiePlowboy]

[brapp]

[thefox]

I am planning on it. I don't know if I will have a tow vehicle or not but I will be there even if it is just with the camera.

[tri-Z ripper]

i wont miss this at all ill be there!!

[brapp]

jessy and i will be there too and i am workign on studdign the zilla and got a few secrets for the atc250r!!!!!!

[Bryan Raffa]

was out there today for about 20 real hard laps... smooth as glass and 10" thick and a foot in a few spots..took a steel coal shovel around , and knocked all the high spots off... all I can say is stay away from the outside Rail.. its hard as a rock..I went over it today and about DIED!:( REAL NICE..ya know..3rd gear corners.. TURN 2 HAS ME SPOOKED THO!!..:eek:

[DixiePlowboy]

do you even get ice in alabama there plowboy?????
.

No....that's one of the reasons I'm digging the pics and vids so much. We haven't had ice here thick enough to ride on since the '80s, but I know some people in Michigan that I'd like to go see during the winter.

[brapp]

damn raffa you shoulda mad eit 4 lane freeway around the lake man give the corners enough room and you wont go over them lol

[Russell 350X]

Lookin good, can't wait! Gotta get the Z ready....

[Bryan Raffa]

damn raffa you shoulda mad eit 4 lane freeway around the lake man give the corners enough room and you wont go over them lol

SHOULD HAVE, COULD OF,, WOULD HAVE But I did not make the track... the neighbor did when I was at your house for the weekend..I came home and it was all ready built..:mad:

[chris200x]

what's wrong with turn 2? is it as tight as the teardrop track from last year? I guess you could always plow another one next to it if the one thats there aint gonna work too well.

[Meat-BoX]

Getting into the Tecate this weekend. Im thinking its a loose plug cap but then thats the easiest thing. In reality its probably the stator/flywheel/CDI/ rider combo.:rolleyes:
Im glad to see I wasnt the only one that got hurt a little at Brapps. My tip over was embarassing as I was practically not even moving and way out of any kind of decent riding position.To be honest, I think my leg is a little cracked. Sucker is all swelled up, hurts like heck and feels weird. It doesnt help that I have to walk 10-15 blocks to get to and from work. Drinking and that night ride with all the kicking the X over didnt help. But heck I didnt know that untill the next day and that was a fun ride.:naughty:

[JohnR.]

SHOULD HAVE, COULD OF,, WOULD HAVE But I did not make the track... the neighbor did when I was at your house for the weekend..I came home and it was all ready built..:mad:


By the time this thing happens there will have been plenty of time for that track to change. Besides, we can always beat in a new track.

John

[brapp]

yeah if there is any ice left lol

[chris200x]

yeah if there is any ice left lol

the weatherguy here says it's gonna be in the 50's by next week with a warming trend over the next two weeks. I'm gettin nervous!!! :lol: I'd hate to have to wait to use my ice setup till next year. :eek:

Are those guys racing at greenwood lake still? what's the ice conditions there?

keep us posted mr. raffa. I just need a day or two notice to head up. even if it's just to hang out with you guys. :w00t:

[Bryan Raffa]

as long as it stays freezeing at night.. were golden ,,, weather says HERE only one day of 45 degrees......snow melts and freezes smooth!!

I give you a ice report today... its real cold out right now!...

[Bryan Raffa]

That means I have to get a 200X ready too...:beer

:naughty: not shure if ricks racerX is together yet....that would be a cool match up...too bad mine's not together yet...:wondering

PM sent Rick..

[seadoo650]

That means I have to get a 200X ready too...:beer

Sorry Freak. Either the 250R or 350X would be there. Raffa is correct. The RacerX is still in pieces.
Thanks Bryan.

[seadoo650]

Looks like a six hour haul. Are we looking for a Friday to Sunday turnout or just Saturday to Sunday? Just trying to plan ahead for either a Friday afternoon depart or real early Saturday morning depart. What are the accomidations? Floor? Hotel? What about food plans? Nearby restaurants? I'll gladly pitch in for grub. I'm assuming b.y.o.b. Is there a place near for beer? Sorry for all the ????????????'s Bryan. I've been reading all the threads for these Ice racing get togather's the last few years and I've always wanted to come out for one. Just want to get all my ducks in a row and be prepared. I'm not 100% as of yet if I'll be there but I want to plan ahead.

[seadoo650]

Damn, I just saw that this weekend is also the same weekend as our OTC indoor races at Summit. I don't plan on racing in the indoors but I like to be there for support. Now I'm 50/50. I still have plenty of time to plan so I'll let you know 100% if I'm in or out by the weekend of the 21st.

[JohnR.]

Are those guys racing at greenwood lake still? what's the ice conditions there?

We were out there the past 3 weekends. This past weekend the ice was fantastic on Saturday but it warmed up into the 40's on Sunday and the ice was so-so. It was still fine for doing some racing but not as good as it was the day before. This coming weekend there is supposed to be a sanctioned ice race event on Sunday. They were out there with a Jeep on Wednesday plowing out the oval for it. Hopefully the unseasonably warm weather won't ruin it. I'll be out on Greenwood Lake every Sunday (and some Saturdays) until the lake turns to crap.

John

[brapp]

man oh man i wish i didnt have to wait for parts to get here!!!!!!

[Bryan Raffa]

we were out on the ice with the truck... lmao...

rick if you dawn are comeing out I have a bed for you guys..you can come out friday and stay till sun or monday..what ever fits into your plans..FOOD,,, $30 will take care of everything...YES BYOB,,, store close!!!

[brapp]

[chris200x]

lets go up for some practice laps!!! :D

YOU'D NEVER GET ME OUT THERE IN A TRUCK!!! MAN,, that's gotta be hairy!!!

they catchin' any fish outta there?

[tri-Z ripper]

Cant wait to see everyone its been a year since ive seen brian and at least 6 months since ive seen josh nate chris al and such ill be there on a thumper most likely! Also anyone looking to commute to raffas from my neck of the woods let me know drove myself last year no problem will again but company would be great!

[Bryan Raffa]

all the snow melted all 9" of it and left the lake wet with about 3" of standing water on it ... that was yesterday... today its all froze smooth:naughty: I Hope it melts some more:w00t:

[JohnR.]

That's why I never let some warm weather/rain this time of year get me down. Chances are that it'll get cold again and all that annoying snow will be out of your way finally.

John

[tri-Z ripper]

looks great even those ice walls of death! grip it and rip and dont pull a nate in the corner! lol

[brapp]

if ti comes down to it i'll bring somethign stupid to rid ebut wellbe there i know the 110 floatslol

[seadoo650]

Well Bryan, I told ya I'd let ya know by the 21st. It seems I'm not going to be able to make it. Mainly because after pricing a set of tires and such for studs I just don't have the $$$. I will deffinately plan on getting some stuff together this year for the next season. I will make it to one of these darn races sooner or later. Thanks very much for the offer of hospitality. Maybe take ya up on it next year.

[riverrat]

Where are you located exactly? I might make a trip.

[Tri-ZNate]

looks great even those ice walls of death! grip it and rip and dont pull a nate in the corner! lol

Doesnt look like I'll have the Z there, maybe the Red though. Still waiting on my cylinder

[Bryan Raffa]

Where are you located exactly? I might make a trip.

ZIP.. 14435 conesus lake

[riverrat]

Woa, 5 hours. I always wanted to check out that area. I want to go, but don't know if it is realistic.

[chris200x]

It's abit over 4 from my house... and well worth the drive. escpecially if its the whole weekend.

you got any ice left up there? it felt like spring today around here. it the 60's.....

[riverrat]

Where's a good place to stay, in case I want to make reservations?

[brappette]

Raffa & BJ, Brapp and I will both be there, and if all works out it looks like we are HOPEFULLY coming up kidless this year. Let me know if you need anything or want us to bring anything too.

[chris200x]

Welp,, looks like I am out. :cry: NO money for this trip.

Anyone need some ice tires? I can probably get these to brapp to bring with him (as long as I'm paid first.lol) 18x11x10 titan fast trekkers on black ITP rims (honda 4x110 bolt pattern) I also have enough cold cutters I'll throw in to do a front tire.

just throwin that out there incase some one is intrested.

[freaksfix]

Im not sure if I am going to make the trip either.. Ive got no time to use at work.. I can swing taking some unpaid time off but im having a hard time justifing it, that would mean id have to take my out of my trike parts funding to cover the time missed in my paycheck... My buddy Dave with the Butt Force 650 wants to make a day trip out of it but me and my brother were thinking of making it a weekend thing this year, i think i may have missed out only doing one day last year..

[Tri-ZNate]

Yeah I'm out as well. New home, new bills, lower extra money


Basides I's hate to embarass Raffa on his home turf :shiftyeyes:

[Meat-BoX]

My Tecate Hates me. I need to figure it out. I would like to come and I asked Mike if he was going. If he is I can bring the Tecate and the 200X. If not I can only fit one Trike in the truck.

[AutoXer]

Russ...Hummmm....:shiftyeyes:

[thefox]

I'm still in, haven't bought studs jet though. I have been spending a lot on the trikes lately so buying studs I will only use once or twice a year is a tuff thing to justify.

[Russell 350X]

Russ...Hummmm....:shiftyeyes:

That was a good time watchin raffaman and brapp rippin around that bull ring that night a few weeks back. is that honda a 295? I think it needs some ground effects like the yami. :wondering :D

Are ANY of the 330R's gonna be there this year?

sucks nuts I'm gonna miss this, I've been looking forward to it since the drive home last year. Looks like you might need a barge to get the bikes on the ice in front of the house there. :eek: supposed to stay cold for a while now tho.

[brapp]

oh trust me i am in the proces sof makign a lowering link for the rear just need to find tiem to get to the millign machine.

[DeePa]

[tri-Z ripper]

Deepa if you wanna go i want someone to carpool with me you interested?

[brapp]

come on ladies lets do it up !!!!

[JohnR.]

oh trust me i am in the proces sof makign a lowering link for the rear just need to find tiem to get to the millign machine.

For the rear of the Tecate? They have one from the factory.

John

[brapp]

yeah thats a tecate i have the 450r linkage and swingarm int he 250r trike.

[Meat-BoX]

Well I just got my Tax money so it looks like im gonna get that Stator and try to get the Tecate ready for the ice fest. Did it last weekend with turbo tax. I think I can have her ready if I can get the parts before the weekend. It will be close.

sounds great.... if not borrow the stator from mik6!:w00t:

[Bryan Raffa]

interested...

really??? that would be cool... how far of drive is that?


JohnR,, is it looking good for you that weekend?

ChrisD.. I need to get ahold of you too

[DeePa]

really??? that would be cool... how far of drive is that?


JohnR,, is it looking good for you that weekend?

ChrisD.. I need to get ahold of you too

7 hours, 420 miles...not more more than josh at all...

just need to stud my front tire and im set.

the r was pinging in NH sunday....went up to a 200 main...it loved it for sure...

How do you gear your trikes raffa? stock is 13/39...i have a 15 and a 34 sitting around, and a 14 is easy to get...the chain length will F me though

Mike

[JohnR.]

I'm going to do my best. Chris hasn't been around the board too much lately. I know he has been up here quite a few times this winter so he might be pushing his luck as far as bailing on the wife for another weekend. I know its hectic for him with work too. Drop him a PM, if he doesn't reply let me know and I'll give him a call. I'm working on getting mine and Chris' friend Mike to come up with us that weekend with his 250R. Also, riverrat lives about 5 minutes from me so if the three of us can ride up together in my truck it'll make it an affordable ride for all of us. I'm going to try calling Mike tonight or tomorrow to see if he thinks he can make it. I know he had some problems with his R this weekend out on the lake. We think the head gasket might be on its way out. He's got a really big piston in it so he needs a special gasket that he has to order. Unfortunately, none of the ones in the standard sets fit so the brand new ones I have laying around don't help him any.

I'm assuming I should bring up the 4x4 quad for plowing again this year? LMK.

John

[Bryan Raffa]

I gear high and still could go more.. I got a 40 but dont wanna pull the hook on the chain also..lol..

John

sounds good, bringing riverrat with ya is cool ..Ill find a spot he can curl up .. bring sleeping bags and pillows.. I'll plan on you plus 2 people

[JohnR.]

I run the 15/33 on my R almost all the time. I try to keep a 14/35 and 13 in the toolbox just in case for some strange reason I need it but you'd need a ridiculously small track to run the whole thing in 1st or 2nd gear even with a 15/33. The only time I'll change it is if its lugging a little in the corner and not taching out down the straightaway. Then I'd probably try going up to my 35 in the back to see if that would get me that little extra grunt in the corner and more RPM down the straight. I try to run one gear around the whole track whenever possible, shifting is just a distraction when you're giving it 110% around a flat track. Chris does the same thing but with more success since he slides his bike more he can carry more wheel speed through the turns to keep his revs up. I'm more of the "dive in hard, grab a ton of front brake, and try to keep it moving forward rather than sideways" type of person. Keep in mind that we're both running a 330cc kit so we can get away with running a gear combo that might not fly with a 250cc motor.

[Russell 350X]

Sounds like I might be bringing 2 more people with me, one for sure, let me know if thats ok Raffa, dont want to over crowd the house:beer

[Meat-BoX]

Well I got everything ordered and hope to have it running and dropped by next weekend. If not maybe someone can help me there? Mike if all goes to hell could I use your stuff? Would really like to get some seat time on it and see how this sprocket combo works. I got a 14/40 going on now. Supposed to be a good setup but I havnt been able to find out.
Mike you going out to Raffas? Hit me up.
Fox when are you going? Looking forward to the weekend of the Ice Fest.:beer
Raffa got a spot for this cripple? Im skinny but do flop around like a fish out of water sometimes:lol:

[Bryan Raffa]

[thefox]

Right now my plan is to be there Saturday trikeless. I might load up the trike if I can get the van but it would be studdless so I don't know if it would be worth it.

[brapp]

hey fox what kinda trike u got some sheet metal tires that help u go pretty godo if you need em let m eknow thier 350x bolt patern i ahev front nd back.

[thefox]

hey fox what kinda trike u got some sheet metal tires that help u go pretty godo if you need em let m eknow thier 350x bolt patern i ahev front nd back.

I would be bringing the 350X.

Do you still want that 250R blue plastic?

[JohnR.]

I'm cautiously optimistic about making it up. It looks like ChrisD is out as per my phone conversation with him tonight. I talked to my buddy Mike tonight, he's also got a really nice 250R and he is interested but has to check his calender for that weekend. He lives down by the NJ shore now but he's coming up here tonight to put his woods 250R back together after 3 years in pieces and hopes to have it running sometime tomorrow. Hopefully I get home in time for its re-birth. If all goes well it'll be me, Mike, my cousin Joe and maybe riverrat. I'm planning on bringing my 4x4 up with a plow to clear the track but if someone will be there with something like that then please let me know. It'll make my life a bit easier if I can leave that at home.

Is the lake safe enough that we might be able to actually cruise around on it some Bryan?

John

[JohnR.]

Right now my plan is to be there Saturday trikeless.

Don't leave it at home. Even if its not studded you can have a good time out there.

John

[Bryan Raffa]

[Bryan Raffa]

Brapp you got a keihin 195,200,205 jets?

I've got Keihin jets from the mid 140's up to the 220's. I never needed the ones bigger than 200 and even with my 330 kit I'm using something in the 195 range. I'm working thing's out with riverrat and one or two other people. I'll be dropping you a PM later Bryan. I'm going to put in for Saturday off and I don't see any reason why I won't get it. I'm planning on getting up there Friday night so that I don't have to drag myself out of bed at 5am Saturday morning.

I love the videos of the track, and can't wait for a fun weekend. w00t

[brrcuda]

Wish we all didnt live so far apart.......

[88 Turbo Coupe]

I'd like to stop by and see how my Tiger 250 and Captain Morgan like the ice track. Maybe get a few vids of the 250 on the ice? I never seen a Tiger on the ice before.

[JohnR.]

Where in NJ are you coming from? I will probably have some room on the trailer for another machine.

[88 Turbo Coupe]

Well I was planning on towing my 20' trailer with a bunch of other rides. Do you know where Ramsey is? Maybe Morgan and I can follow you?

[88 Turbo Coupe]

When, where, and what time are you leaving?

[JohnR.]

Ramsey is only about 25 minutes from here. I'm in Greenwood Lake. I'm planning on leaving here between 6 and 7 Friday evening but there's a chance that I might not be able to leave until Saturday morning. I have a car in my enclosed trailer for the winter so I'm taking an open one.

I'll bring my Craftsmen 19.2V with both batterys and the charger...........:Bounce

[JohnR.]

was hoping to hear from someone in this area to join me in the trip so i dont have to pay full both ways!

If I didn't already have a truck full of people I'd say take the ride down here and we can head out together. Hopefully you make it up.

I've got all my stuff packed and waiting to go in the truck.

I'm going to bring my cordless drill just in case and a bunch of highway cones so we can mark the track.

The only thing I'm on the fence about is whether to bring the 350X or the 4x4 quad as a backup vehicle. If we decide to do a night cruise I'll need one of them since the ignition on the 330R axed the lighting coil.

John

[MIK6]

Ill have my 9.2 w/ me too!! 2 batteries and that air pump. Ill need to bleed the rear brakes on the T3 when I get there. Friend has my truck in the AM, no way to get it set before.

FOX.. Ill throw the parts in the truck for you.

[thefox]

THIS SUCKS!!!!

PA ride - drive two hours to turn around because the van started misfiring. (turns out it was spark plug #5)

Raffa's ride - drive 10 minutes and get a flat tire.... spare was flat too (slow leak and I have the air tank so I'm ok, right?)..... then the battery dies while I am changing the tire (yeah I left the lights on).

I guess the only thing to do is laugh......

(lol)

[trizilla]

88TC has some nasty rides! 300R with the bassani, the other is the full Mugen360 pipe and all, the new 84? he has I know nothing about (yet) and well - his Tigers. (have no personal interest in tigers)

But he really has some sweet airfoolers!!

Too bad Bruce had such nad luck with his!! 3rd gear gone just like that. He outta slap the 155 main jet in her right away tomorrow ... I dunno why he is running ruch a small main on a 300r out on the cold ice?

[Bryan Raffa]

Good night....:beer

[Saul]

Runs Good.. NO 3rd gear tho....:cry:

Hah! You replied just as I was writing mine. Yeah, me and Bruce were talking at length about the 300R over at airfoolers forum when he got home. I think he should bump his main jet up to the 155 he has first thing tomorrow and see how it runs.

That DG headpipe is probably the biggest bottleneck in his system now. If he had a nice Bassani or Mugen pipe to go with that 300R - mmmmmm :w00t:

[Saul]

OUCH! Someone bump 88TC's Tiger?!

I want to thank Raffa and family and friends for all their hospitality. They made us feel like family. The food was awesome, it hit the spot, and kept us going.
It's the most fun you can have with your pants on.

I have some pics and video, need some time to get them up, as I use to use my laptop, but I got the blue screen of death, so I will have to figure out how to get them on this machine.

If anyone has video of the road race, please post that, that was awesome. I can't believe I didn't grenade my machine!! I can barely lift my arms, LOL.

Thanks so much to Bryan, BJ, Brapette, and all of the ladies who fed us and kept us company. It was 9:30 last night by the time I finally got done delivering rat's trikes to his house and threw some tarps over mine to keep the snow off of them so I can deal with putting them away today.

I had a great time and look forward to doing it again next year. I've got to get a new set of rear tires for next year, mine are whooped and I was getting no bite at all.

Was it freaks that took all that video of us racing and me playing with the snowmobile? I'd love to get DVD quality footage of that stuff. Whoever has video please let me know, I'll be happy to pay for the shipping and the DVD or CD that its on plus a few dollars for your time. Unfortunately, I failed to bring a camera and never took the time to get the video camera out of the bag. In fact, I left the whole thing at Raffa's.

Thanks Mik6, I had a blast on that Tecate and its given me the itch to at least freshen up the top end on mine so I can use it until I get the time to give it the proper restoration it deserves.

I hope Chris is able to make it next year as well.

Thanks to all the rest of you that I met, its events like this that prove its not as much about the trikes as it is about the people that ride them.

[JohnR.]

OUCH! Someone bump 88TC's Tiger?!

Every time I got near that thing on the track the only thought in my head was "don't crack into that thing". Thank God I wasn't the one that damaged the fenders.

I could imagine!! That is a sad sigh to see though. BUT - hat's off to my man, 88TC for having the balls to bring something that rare out to play.

I think 88TC has said it best -you gotta ride em' to love em' !!

I'm so envious of you guys - looked and sounds like SO much fun. I have zero 'trike' buddies in my community. When I ride I'm like the lone outlaw or something. Cherish weekends like you just had guys, really cherish them. I hope you all have many, many more!!

:TrikesOwn

[brapp]

[chris200x]

Cool pics guys... but I still ain't satisfied :(

Anyone runnin for the shoreline? was the ice cracking or popping? LOL I remeber that one night last year it sounded like fireworks going off!

[tri-Z ripper]

Looks like an awesome time! glad you guys had a blast we did as well up in NH even though i broke my thumb throttle!! but someone for an odd reason had a spare and save the day!! great pics wish i could have made it to both!!

[JohnR.]

The ice was making a bunch of noise on Saturday night and Sunday. Its always fun watching the "ice newbies" get freaked out by it. :lol:

I want videos too!!!

John

[chris200x]

I was just thinkin.. all those trikes in that vid are 300cc's and over huh? looks too fast for my blood!YAMAHONDAMAN

[JohnR.]

Whaddaya mean? You got a 350 don't ya? If it ain't enough take a look at Powroll's site. You can get a 393 kit for under $350 and for another $290 you can make a 430cc monster. :crazy:

John

[chris200x]

300cc pingers I meant....

I think I'll stick to my lil ole tree fiddy 4 smoker! :D

[JohnR.]

I knew what you meant but I was just trying to get you to step up your game. :)

John

[Russell 350X]

So....who else has pics and vid?? lol

[chris200x]

So....who else has pics and vid?? lol

you guys really slacked on the pics and vids this year. :cry: :banned: Too much boozin and BS'n eh? :naughty:

[Saul]

begging for more pics and video!!

You guys outta compile all the raw video footage and make a DVD to circulate instead of or alongside of youtube. So much quality is lost with youtube - I wanna see the high quality original vids! :)

[JohnR.]

Someone (I think it was freaks) video taped one of the races from start to finish but it was only 5 laps. I'm just as out of shape as the next guy but you all need to pick it up a little. None of you wanted to do a 10 or 15 lap feature. The 5 lap sprints are fun and all but that doesn't give you enough time to see who has some endurance.

[JohnR.]

Damn Russ! You just turned 21 and you can't hang onto that wheeler for 10 or 15 laps? C'mon! What are you gonna do when you're old like me?

John

I could have possibly done the road course for 10 laps, but not the oval, not the way I was riding anyway. Also not the way my trike was hooking up. I should have let you ride it, so you could see what I mean, maybe this week, or weekend, you can check it out, and help me tune the ride a bit more.
I could have road that tecate for 100 laps.

[JohnR.]

Yeah but now that you're 21 you'll be doing the 12 ounce curls and those don't help you none. You gotta quit smoking, that's probably killing your ability to do more than a few laps but when I was 21 I smoked a pack of Newports a day and I could still do better than I can now.

John

[JohnR.]

You're right rat. My bike is alot easier to ride now that the studs are worn out and it doesn't fight me at all, it just slides. Unfortunately with all that sliding it doesn't put any power to the ice to go forward, I had a hard time reeling in you guys on your 250's in the straightaway.

John

[chris200x]

So how bout some info on the track layout. was it 5th gear pinned the whole oval? I see some right hand turns in there too! you had a road coarse? how did it compare to the track layout from last year. It seemed (just from the few pics and one vid posted :banned: ) that there was alot tighter racing last year..

was there a nite time romp across the lake???? what about the drags??? who is king of the lake??? you guys are killen me here. LOL!!!!
