    I used to have a great-aunt that owned a 1000 acre farm up there.


    She doesn't anymore, because ..... well .... she's dead.

    So that's the end of that story. :o


    So..... welcome, Farmboy ! :)

    I'm 24. Does that still count as a kid?:confused::D

    By the way Ben. Haven't you heard. Four strokes are the new two stoke. Have you watched a supercross race on tv lately? Just abiout all are four stokes.

    While I am a die hard two stoke fan my self. I don't think you could go wrong with the CRF 250. Thats what there running in the 125 supercross class now. I think...

    I've had a Suzuki RM80, Yamaha TT100, and the last bike I owned was Yamaha Banshee four wheeler. Which was the badest of them all. It had aftermarket pipes,pistons, airbox, and a high compression head. I had to run race gas in it so it wouldn't ping at high rpm's.:D It wasn't very trail friendly though. It would foul the plugs pretty quick if you didn't stay on the pipe.

    By the way nice system and welcome to the club!

    Best advice I have heard in a long time. Grab your .22 and go shoot some woodchuck, rabbits, or squirels:D

    Haha...I dont know...same problems in that hobby as well...they make as many barrels and options/upgrades for lil ole Ruger 10/22's as they do fancy audio cables :D

    So its time to fire away the usual questions; What brought you to us in the first place? Do you run any Polk speakers? How long have you been into audio - what gotcha into it... the whole sha-bang.

    My dad is kinda an audio fanatic and started me with a system and i went from there. I run four polk speakers Rti-8's, Csi-3, and a psw-202 sub. i've been in audio since my dad got into it. Always been into loud music and surrond sound

    I just have a passion for 2 strokes.I had both. Ridden many others. Good tuning keeps from fouling plugs. I do get your point. The 4's are 250's in a 125 class. I have tried the new ones out, and still love the 2 strokes.

    I had a Rugar 10/22. I was deadly with that rifle. For a seemingly unbalanced gun any thing I shot at went down. My favorite shot was a squirrel poking his little head out of a crotch in a tree. All I could see was his face. I shot him in the mouth, and knocked his teeth down his throat. I kept his head in the freezer to show people. It was a really nice shot. Of coarse I firmly believe in eating anything you shoot. I liked to make a real nice peppery stew out of them:) I still have my Rugar Super Redhawk 44 Stainless with the long barrel, and a 2-6 power scope. Very accurate, but not a squirrel gun:D

    Definitely a NICE setup for 15. When I was 15 my setup consisted of an amp I picked up at Montgomery Wards on clearance connected to two totally mismatched Radio Shack Realistic speakers that had been thrown out of the back of a moving pickup at the police by the thieves that had just stolen them. The store recovered them and sold them to me for $15 each and that's how I got started. Welcome to the club!

    Thats right. Mcloki had the save on the tv when he tried to go Dorothy Hamil without the skates. My friends that were helping me move still laugh about your selfless act of saving the tv at the risk of your own health:eek:
