Hey this is pretty cool....I owned a retired race quad that I bought off of a Pro TT rider. I sold it to a guy who drove a ways to pick it up. When I sold it to him.....He bought only the frame, plastic, nerfs, bumper, motor and bars. I kept all of the TT stuff (Wheels, tires, sway bar, shocks, a-arms, shortened swingarm, etc.
Then years later.....I see pictures of my front bumper on a quad....with my old plastic.....and thought.....THAT'S MY OLD DALE!!! So I conacted the guy and here we are. He wanted to see old pics of it. It's now on it's 4th owner. So here are the pics before and years later. Pretty cool, I think?

Before..........

Once again this is now 383astro's Dale....It's so cool to see it set up for MX now.....He's got it lookin' good.

Thats your plastic 27 ( I think I sold it to you). It is black now and has different nerfs, a boomer air kit, wave rotors and a few other things. I also have a Supertrapp exhaust I may try out. I bought a brand new never mounted rear black fenders and a race cut black front from cdale222002 and black spars and headlight buckets from speed2424. I loved the fullbores but I am not a fan of red and needed headlights. Oh yeah and it was a pain to check the oil.

Yup I thought so.Even when I got it before this I thought the plastic looked familiar.Should be.I spent about a hour talking to Brad Covington who ran pro at ashtabula about 3 years ago he owned it first!Crazy but its good to recycle.

I actually dont race as of now. I have another dale that will be built over the next year that will be setup for flattrack. Thats all the races wer have around here in OKlahoma, that I know of. I bought the red one and another that was complete minus the plastic, shocks, and tires and wheels for 4k. The second bike also has an hmf, nerfs, arens? stem, lsr axle, and some other goodies. It is a hydraulic cased motor.
the red one is cable.

oh yeah and my number is 3 from when I used to race sand drags.

I have a 250r thats been stretched with a cbr600 engine on it.

Yeah I won 13 6 ft trophies in a row and kicked out cause noone could beat me.
