Like bikes or atv's? I had an 03 Bombardier DS650 atv that I took to the track a couple of times. Almost bone stock ran 9.00 1/8th every pass with 60 ft times of 1.57 give or take. Best 1/4 time was a 14.74 at just over 81mph. All with knobby tires and no wheely bar. Starting in second gear 9k launch carrying the front tires past the 60 ft mark.
 
Never been to a track with timing equipment but do race my 01 Raptor out at Glamis. Either at the sand drags or one of the hills out there. I do well against other 4 strokes but them dang 2 strokes smoke on me. LOL Lot of motor work punched out to a 730 with te head ported to the max and a set of slide carbs and pipe. 4in aftermarket swing arm aftermarket shocks and a set of comp cut paddles on here. Fun bike and a good duner still too.


Here is a vid of me at the hill. Was before I put the comp paddles on and could not get of the line very well.

I raced mine at the local 5/8 mile dirt track as well. Ran in open 4 stroke against guys wth high dollar stuff. Never finished worse then 3rd, I guess its cause I had never been hurt so I didn't lift going into the corner like they did. Got podium in all 4 races I raced there.
 
Ain't that the truth. I wish I still had it, sold it back in 08. Then I found it on Ebay late last year and called the guy and sure enough it was it. Sold in in Raleigh NC and it showed up in PA somewhere. Stil have his number he said he was in no hurry to sell it so if it didn't sell he would just keep it, and it didn't sell. He told me if I wanted it he would sell it to me though so I may take him up on it wehn I get back home.

Right on. That would be cool. Good luck on that. I know I have a lot of fun on them.


Here is a pic of me right after I got "comfortable" :banghead:

Have been known to play with my Blackbird.

As far as ATVs, dirt bikes, etc...I get near one and end up hurt.

We have one or 2 guys on the Blackbird forum that have the best of both worlds.
