I use a Bell helmet. The best helmets are Snell approved. Shoei and Arai sell alot helmets to the racing crowd, but they are both expensive. Some of the higher priced O'neil helmets are really nice. Im not a fan of the chrome mouthpeice, that fad is about over. Anyone here remember the old helmet and clothing company called "JT" ? Everyone wore JT gear back in the 80's They sold that goofy open face helmet for years.

Ok heres a questions. If you could nominate anyone to be our next.... "CEO" who would you nominate. bush and kerry both died so you can't pick them. What about Guiliani ? I think he'd be a good candidate.

oh let me try to remember... bb kit was around $470 installation was $300 porting... $350 V-force $200 noss head$ not sure really Iv had mine for years now, I forget how much they cost. Add aftmkt exhaust pipes no I dont, but if you guys remember "4 wheel thunder" aka "mobile dyno", they had a few dyno charts for the vitos kit. Maybe someone has those charts saved and can post em. mains: 380+390's in the summer and 400's or 410's in the winter. I ran an open Toomey 2:1 airfilter deal with those main jet numbers. Now that I have the airbox back on, Im running rich with the 380's in, but.... now that the weather is getting cooler the jetting is better, but 370's would be better. The weathers only going to get cooler, so im keeping the 380's in. Pilot jets. 30's. I tired 35's when I first started jetting it, and it ran too rich. The guy who built my motor recommended the 30's and Eric from 4 Wheel Thunder also recommended the 30's so I tried em and iv been running them ever since. Air Screws are set...... lemme think.... I should know this...... I just had my carbs off a few weeks ago when I put my airbox back on. If I recall, they're set lower than 1-1\2, closer to 1 turn out. I can't remember exactly. I rarly have to adjust em, but I do every once in a while depending on the air temps. The needles I use are an aftermarket set made by "vito's". He sells two needle tapers, one for stock motors and one for ported motors. I bought the set tapered for ported motors and I run the clip in the 3rd\middle position. I started off jetting with the clip set to the richer\lower\4th notch and the bigger 35 pilots and was way too rich. Leaned out the needles and put in the smaller pilots and havent changed em since. The only jetting I do, is swapping out the mains when the seasons change. I think the 404 is great little engine package, but I don't think its the ideal drag motor. I think of it as a more robust and possibly a more user freindly motor, than say a heavly ported 350 or even a stroker. Its a good kit for guys who like to ride a good fun reliable motor, and for guys who don't want to break the bank on thier atv engine. Good motor for the weekend warriors. If you'd want a more specialized motor, then other engine builds can and are better than a big bore kit. I was always led to beleive that the 404 might not be the "ideal" drag engine, and its most likely not the "ideal" drag engine... but Smokin350's 404 was hangin and beatin' the best of em. But I gotta say.... the strokers we were racing were having a hard time keeping the front wheels on the ground they were accelerating that hard. And bigwill's Banshee is really fast too, thats a 350 right bigwill ???? bigwill's Banshee was neck and neck with the strokers and was swapping wins with Smokin'350's 404...... and just like bigwill pointed out.... bigwill is a big boy, about 3 times the size of Smokin'

I must admit, thats a pretty good reply !!

Frist GNCC race after the big summer break was held yesterday in West Virginia. Big news. Honda gets its first 1st place finish this year as Chris Borich switched from his YFZ to the new Honda 450r. Beat Bill Ballance, but ballance got second place and enough points to secure the gncc championship again. Honda won a few first place finishes in TT and the Baja1000 but this is thier first win in the big two series, GNC and GNCC. I don't think a Honda has been on the GNCC podium all season long, let alone a 1st place finish. GNCC WEBSITE

Dude you got the shaft.... first of all NEVER admit anything to the cops. I realize your buddy did the admitting, but NEVER EVER EVER talk to the cops. Get a lawer instead. Now about your rat buddy. Never talk to him again, tell EVERYONE that he is a nark and if you ever get the chance..... kick his crybaby rat ass. All he had to say to the cops was "he didnt know who was on the Banshee". This buddy can never be trusted ever again. Nothing worse than a nark.

The market has fell out underneath the ol' R's. Get'in em cheaper every day now.

hell yea bigwill I use SK at my job and I use a set of SK sae sockets at home, but the majority of my tools are Craftsman. The SK ratchets are really nice. My buddy was recommending Husky to me just the other day, Iv never heard of em before then. We were talkin about cordless drills and he said he bought this Husky at the Home Depot and said that he like it better than his Dewalt and portercable.

Got a question for yas. I hired on this manager to run my small paperclip empire about 4 years ago. Before he started, the business was prospering, we had business freinds all over the world, we were competive with foreign business and we finally showed a profit after many many years of being in the red. 4 years ago I hired "Geo X" to run the company. Geo's leadership background is solid, because he comes from a very rich family and he was a "c" student at a big preppy rich guy univeristy(yale). But we've got a small problem with Geo X, our company is now 78 trillion in the hole, we had to fire half of our workers and just to compete with foreign competition we're going to move our plant to Ja'bip were the labor is cheaper. Our biggest competitor is Osama Von Walmert, we devised a plan to put OVW out of business. We suspect, altho we have no proof, that maybe Oraq is selling paperclips to OVW so instead of going directly after OSV we focused on Oraq and now we have 1000 of our employees dead, 8000 wounded(just missing various body parts) and millions of Oraq employees are living in peril on a daily basis. My bank contacted me last week and said "with our record setting debt levels, they won't be lending us anymore money"... well Geo dealt with the bank by doing the only thing he could do. Ignore em. On another note, the coalition of businees partners we had around the world have decided that we took the wrong steps and they won't help us get out of Oraq, or support our paperclip business. Question. Geo's contract is up this November...... should I re-hire Geo X ?? If Id fire him, I don't want my employees to think im being unfaithfull to the company.

Oh and by the way FiremanHottster. Try to refrain on using the word "f*ck" and "fuckin" so much. It makes you sound dumb. Just an FYI there.

Gimme me a link showing these WMD they found. I heard Bill O'reily just the other night talking about "not finding WMD's in Iraq"..... and don't tell me he's a libral now. Its the official conclusion.... no WMD's in Iraq.
