    Eddie, truck is just sooooo niiiccee.

    I'd love to mob pismo in my Taco but it will not hang with you guys at all. I'd leave that up for my bike.

    Looks like fun man! NIce videos and music selection with the fog, beach, dunes. It all works so nice. ;)​

    ^ You're an ass. . . Coming out of the woods to mess with me. I've seen more dirt these past months than you Mr. M.I.A.

    Generals are not great in sand and also read to amazing story of how many Prerunners got stuck out there that weekend.


    LOL. I'll stick to the bike. Even then, that sucks when you fall and have to kick start it again. ​

    ^ My co-worker is out on disability from a freak accident on his quad. Ruptured his spleen and broke a few ribs and his collar bone. I've never rode a quad before as it seems misleading. MyToyTaco Nick also told me his crazy quad accident where he had to be air lifted out of the dunes.

    Crazy man. ​

    quads are a death trap in pismo.. bikes are way more forgiving than quads.

    i have hurt myself way more on my bike than my quad


    the only thing about bikes is if you roll down a hill they follow you.

    but bikes you get hurt way more often. had to get rid of my bike.. too many dam surgeries. having metal inside of you sucks ass.


    and eddie do you plan on getting hydro bumps for the front? i think it should be what you add next!!

    my friend has a push start, costs him like 15 bucks to do lol

    I'm going to tinker with the bypasses this weekend, it really seems like it's blowing through the stroke faster than it should.

    The TC kit doesn't have strike plates for hydrobumps :notsure: can't remember the thread I saw on here I know it's been talked about

    you can weld a strike pad and make it work though.

    if you ride anything and fall down a hill, no matter what it's going to follow you haha. just id rather have a ~215 pound thing fall on my rather than a ~350 pound quad.

    Honestly, the reason you get hurt is because of yourself, not the equipment. reason i say quads are death traps out there is because everyone rides them. experienced people or inexperienced. the sad thing is when its big holiday weekends or just a normal weekend people are always renting them so its just bound to happen. Most people have no idea what they're doing out way back in the dunes either, that's what bugs me the most about pismo. :cool:

    I've been riding since I could hold a bike up, and have always believed that Bikes are safer than Quads

    It takes a certain level of skill to ride where as a quad anyone can just about hope on a go, as well at speed they can become very unstable due to a short wheel-base & overall width, a bike is much more agile and easier to control, and easier to ditch if required.

    Oh yeah....you're truck is sick Eddie :cool:

    & I vote for the supercharger!!

    And if you tune you're bypasses enough & add some Wheeler's Superbumps (replacement for stock) you'll have a decent bump setup!

    Lol thanks man, although air bumps would be nice up front I'll probably end up going with the wheelers bumps so I can put more $$ aside for the S/C

    not true, a quad will roll down the hill, the bike usually just lays on its side or flips once or twice.

    i havent really had to deal with people renting stuff cause i ride in glamis.. so people cant really rent there lol.

    yeah the reason i get hurt is cause of myself. but crashing a dirtbike is way more likely to happen than crashing a quad.

    i have been riding my whole life also, quads till i was 15, dirtbikes since. been racing since i was a little kid as well.

    i also agree with you on the last part, but if the same person were to ride a quad and a dirtbike, your more likely to crash on a dirtbike. you can ditch easier, but you dont need to ditch quads as often IMO. either way more people get hurt on dirtbikes than quads.

    meh go big or go home! get hydro!!
