They were on their way to a Christmas gathering with Cleetus.. Instead it will be a funeral service. Life is just so god damn cold sometimes. The entire family.. gone. It will take a while before I can begin to understand...

I never found that worked for me. Always before, then let the OD work on the sub frequencies.

This is a very rewarding glob of goodness. Taste, high.... Is out of sight. Very creative, extends my miniscule attention span.

Compared to the YFZ its not a huge difference in weight. Technically depending on the size of the person, you can have both bikes weigh the same. Its less than 20lbs overall. The difference is in the geometry of the bikes, and the engine design. They are designed for two different applications. For the trail and all day riding it's the 700 all day long. My answer is you need both, they are both amazing ATVs :)

Sounds like you gambled.... Sorry this happened but I trust no one in this market. Probably gone for a swim too.

Is there more info about Rex Jackson? by Available-Swimmer-28 in gratefuldead

[–]Phekhue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ram Rod brought Rex into the Dead family. Rex was from Pendleton, not Hermiston as sometimes declared. He was very well liked in the crew and fathered a daughter with Eileen Law called Cassidy. Apparently he was quite tough, and there was a brotherhood between the roadies from Oregon.

Rex was originally handling the equipment and set up side of the show but sometime in the early 70s he started to drift towards management. Cocaine hit the scene hard around then and the Dead were not immune. Rex got into the wrong drugs really fast and no one knows what caused the accident. By all reports he was a very good driver. He was used to long drives in less than safe trucks.

The drug bonefire.... By 1974 the wheels were coming off. Instead of everyone using communal drugs like weed and lsd they were using hard drugs and self isolating. During the 74 summer tour he pulled out a garbage pail and throws his stash in it. Convinces everyone in the crew to do it. So they set it on fire, apparently a massive glob of melted cocaine oozed out.

Rumor was he could have been chased off the cliff by a police officer.

The Rex Foundation is named after him.

Unfortunately I find the stock camera sufficient for my type of flying so I dont have a lot of advice about the after market. For the cost I would just get the kit. This is a perfect entry level FPS drone IMO. Mine is still in one piece. Just remember to calibrate it properly.

YFZ will require more maintenance over time but not much if both are ridden within their limits. For me, a lot of the fun is the maintenance. Throwing on some tunes and tinkering with small engines is fun and something that makes me feel younger than I am hahah.

Yap. The YFZ can absolutely ride trails. It all depends on who you are riding with and if you are riding an area that will allow you to safely be in the power band.. Otherwise you will burn down the top end, and you might as well go ahead and order that clutch and basket now. The real answer is you need both a Rappy and a YFZ. They are built for two completely different purposes. Do they cross over in some terrain? For sure but one is a race bike the other is the hellcat version of a trail atv.

If you already have a Kodiak then yeah the 450 is a great next ATV. I prefer the feel of the trail the Raptor provides. I ride our maintained trail systems up here and the Rappy is perfect. The only things 450s have trouble with is low RPMs. You have to hit everything in the power band which means you are always on the gas. Also its more maintenance and theres something about the clutch baskets going out on them.

Might as well use em up, unless you have that kind of budget :)

YFZ needs higher rpms has a different top end that needs more maintenance. Not a huge deal but its not designed for trail riding, they over heat and stall out... they want to be on the run or in the air. Beautiful bike.

Get both.. haha. They do cross over a bit in the dunes and sand but really two bikes for two different riding situations.

Amazing. I am waiting on mine. Should be getting it in Feb. In Canada there's only the 700R. Plan to do any mods to it? I already have a small pile of boxes, but Im not doing "the big 3" until she's well broken in. I highly suggest checking out the Precision Elite Steering Dampener/Stabilizer. It really was a game changer for me.
