It's video time

[Mike]

You guys are too much fun in those vids

You need one in Grand Sport paint!

Here's a short video of the Attex Li'ltruck out in the wilds of West Virginia. It's powered with a 440 Cuyuna.

Oh MY! That sounded like a jet passing by!

I would say that the Li'ltruck looked good but I really couldn't see it

Here's a clip of the D/Stock Superchief at the Flat Run Speedway in Phillipsburg, PA, during their 2006 ATV/AATV Rodeo. There are several clips of a lot of us on Youtube and Google Video. I'll try posting a few others.

Now that is fast

Great videos all.

Around the yard in 60 seconds

Okay, here's a brief and rare appearance of the R. The quality is low because I had to put it through a pretty ghetto filter to brighten it up a bit as I did this at sunset last night. There are lots of little saplings scattered around the yard that I'm trying to avoid, then after my wife is sick of the dog bugging her, she decides that the ATV would make good prey. She does this a lot, and likes to "head me off at the pass" (my dog, not my wife).

This might look sorta fast, but it's actually a LOT faster when you're in the cochpit (the board won't let me spell "coch" correctly) making 1000 adjustments per second to keep the machine trending in the general direction you desire. I'll be honest; stuff happens really, REALLY fast in this thing. I don't know how I haven't ended up in an accident yet. There are no "brakes", you just ease the handles back a bit, but the machine is so light that you run the risk of a 40mph endo if you get too overzealous. Friggen' scary. You can only steer when all 6 wheels are on the ground, which is why most of the time the RPMs are down below 3 grand. There are a couple good pulls, though. I start off a little bouncy and head for the shed immediately. Apparently, the "R" wanted the D/stock to come out and play, too...

The clutch is set up to engage at only about 2-grand since the engine is already making plenty of power to get the machine going. It disengages quickly too, but it's still a game of "hit the throttle, then coast".

Mike, that was awesome. I can't imagine driving that thing. I know how hairy it can get offroad on the Max just going 20 mph and bumping around. I can only imagine twice that speed.

By the way, I love your reason for editing the post

Also I now have changed the board settings so that you can spell cockpit correctly. Sorry about that, I filtered a few words and didn't think of other uses.

I think its your wife's fault if you run over the dog.

another Attex at flat run speedway (Joe H)

another machine at flat run speedway (John S)

[Mike]

Don, I enjoyed both of those. Are Joe H and John S on here? Also, which machines posted the best times there?

[mad_max_500cc]

one word (wow) oh one more (fast)

[Don]

Here's a video of Hydromike at Copper ridge last year taking the McKay racer out for a ride.

[Mike]

Don, do you let just anybody drive that thing Really though, that was a great quality video and it looks like Mike was having a blast.

[Don]

Don, do you let just anybody drive that thing .

I usually try and hold on to some kind of standards, but you sometimes have to make concessions for family

[hydromike]

Concessions? Hah! I had to fork over $500 and sign over my first born into a life of servitude replacing axle bearings on all of Don's machines. All that for a minute in the seat of a legend. Well worth it. I was taking it pretty gingerly. It's like getting inside a '62 Ferrari GTO. You're going to put it through its paces, but you're not really going to flog it. It commands respect. The video isn't really indicative of what the machine can do.

In all fairness, he's driven the 503 once or twice. I understand it's apples and oranges, but still...
