Rider of the Month:  465Stroker

Q: How long have you owned your Cannondale?
Bought my first in November of 02 - So I guess 13 months! I also have a brand new 02 sitting in my garage that I bought this past summer.
 

Q: Would you recommend Cannondale to your buddies?

Yes! I actaully got my 2 nephews to buy them after they got a chance to check them out and ride mine around.


Q:. What type of riding do you do?

Grand National Cross Country Series. In 2003 I race the 4 Stroke A Class while writting a 3 part story about building a Cannondale into a GNCC ready machine call "What it Takes".


Q: What mods have you done to your bike?

Lonestar +1" A-arms with 17" Long travel PEP ZPS shocks front and rear, RPM XC axle, Douglas Shamrock beadlocks with Maxxis Razr 2 tires, Moto nerfs & rear fender supports, Tag X5 CR 2 High bars, Spider Grips, HMF exhaust, Hi-flite Seat foam, Ceet seat cover, Quadshop: tie rod boots, battery box, seat latch, and graphics kit, Cycra Handguards, PEP steering dampner, PRM: skids & Summit bumper, Performance Carbon radiator shrouds & tank cover, RIS radiator guard, No Toil Air filter, Hardkor Hubs, Maxima, DP Brakes, Proclean 1000, and Fullbore Plastic.


 

Q: What advice would you give someone just starting in the Cannondale community?

Get to know you quad inside and out. One of the best and easiest ways would be to visit great sites like cannondaleriders, cannondaler, cdaleparts, etc. Read all of the good and the bad - you will learn a ton. I have been blessed with great first hand info from Steve Maslanik at Cdaleparts.com,The Quadshop - Jeff and John, and Scooter from Optimum.
 

Q. Give us a little history on yourself?

I got my first quad when I was 21 - a Suzuki LT500 - from then on I made a ton of money buying and selling well over 100 quads for the next 4 years. After meeting my wife Traci and learned of her passion for ATV's we started to race at local Harescrambles and eventually started racing the GNCC schedule full time in 1999. From 1999 thru 2001 I concentrated on Traci while she won 2 National Championships. At that point I started racing GNCC's in the 4 Stroke Mod class and Open A classes while working my way up to placing 3rd overall in the 4 Strroke A class in 2002 and 2003. In 2003 Traci won her 3rd GNCC Championship.
 

Q. Any sponsors/people you would like to thank? 

Yes - My wife Traci, Lenig Family, Mazlanik Motorsports/cdaleparts.com - Steve & Ron, The Quadshop - Jeff & John, Lonestar Racing, PEP, Maxxis, Douglas Wheel, RPM, PRM, Hardkor, Fullbore, TAG, Spider, Cycra, Ceet, Hi-flite, DP Brakes, No Toil, Proclean 1000, HMF, Optimum, Performance Carbon, RIS, and Maxima.

I would also like to help those that have helped out in the pits during the 2003 season: Traci, Jeff Stoess, John Rowling, Tim Lenig, Tyler Lenig, TJ Lenig, Steve Maslanik, Laz Summers, Gary Delbeck, and Ben Wrightsmen.
