The day has finally come.
Well guys I never thought this would happen, but as of Saturday I will no longer be racing a dale. It ran great all last year, but this season it has failed to finish or even make 5 out of 6 GNCCs this year. It's been a big headache and in the interest of racing we decided it's time to move on. Saturday I went and got a 450R and have began fixing it into my new GNCC bike. It just became too much to try and keep the dale running for every other weekend and when I did keep it running I couldn't practice with it. I had great times and I'm gonna miss racing her, but it was something I just had to do.
But hey, at least I still get to keep the dale.

i hated the hondas at first because of that ugly plastic, then i looked at my dale plastic... then it was the 450 4stroke kick start, you are kidding right, for an out of shape 40 yr old, i stall the dale and i get tired pushing the "button" now that i see you can get an electric start option, it had my attention, so i went to the gncc in florida and there were just as many hondas as yfz's,
i dont want to give up on my dale but i dont have the deep pockets it takes to make these things right, but on the other hand, the money i would spend on a new quad.. if i put that money into a dale, it would be about as bullet proof as anything else out there, then there is the nice contingency package that honda offers

You summed it up right there man! Thats exactly what I have been thinking these past few months.
I have to be realistic here. How many of us honestly have a shot at contingency money? Not many. So when people tell me they are switching due to contingency loot I can't take them seriously. I much rather hear I wanna ride something different. More honest and to the point.

Don't rain on my parade Derno. When I get back to racing...my goal is to be running for contingency...should I switch to another machine. I feel like I have the motivation and the ability to be competitive. I just don't have the time or the money right now while in college. I guess I took your comment personal.:confused:
