Hey everybody, just joined the site. I'm a longtime kawasaki fan, I just picked up a nice 2001 ZX9R but haven't got to play on it much do to the weather. I have a 1988 Tecate4 that I built one piece at a time, it have a sprock racing 300bb, without getting into to much detail I'll just say its a really nice machine. Anyway its good to be here and I'm looking forward to sharing info and swapping stories.

Where do you ride your ATV and what kind of diesel vehicles do you have?

We travel a lot to go riding. I usually only take the tecate4 on local rides that I know the area well cause it can get you in trouble fast if you don't know what is coming up. It will take just about any new 450 4 stroke on the market today. For our long trips I ride my honda 300ex. We do lots of hill climbing in Ky and WV. The honda works great on hills.
As for owning diesels... I have no use for a diesel. To me unless you can make a diesel work you don't need one. I don't think diesels should be drag racers, they are work horses. I work for Caterpillar and repair (and build) heavy truck engines. You can just about go to any truck stop and ask about Bob from Ohio/Cat and someone there will know me. I'm getting a pretty big following LOL. Anybody can throw fuel and timing at a diesel and get it to make lots of horse power, build one that can pull 80,000 lbs. over a steep grade at 50+ mph without getting hot and get close to 7 mpgthen you are good. I've got some trucks getting close to 8 mpg and they are grossed out all the time.

Sorry if I sounded cocky there but diesel engines are the one thing I do very well. (unless your a woman LOL)
