I just picked up a blaster for pretty much nothing. I used to have a ton of trails near my house but a lot has been developed on now.

Blaster is a cool machine I had 2 diffrent ones. Extended swingarm and a arms makes the blaster awesome but then you will want more

I have a good area in Ellington/east Windsor I go, this upcoming weekend is n/g but the following weekend I'd love to go. Have a Honda 450er. Nx and subarubill have both gone in this area, lots of trails, sand out, etc. decent challenge.

NH is a ton of fun too just a 4.5 hour ride each way from central CT to get there... Really need to plan to stay over, I've gone up for the day a couple times, a lot of driving to do before/after a good 4 plus hrs of strait riding

I spend enough money on the car, im not trying to have another money pit. I got so close to buying full exhaust for it but was barely strong enough to say no I don't need it.

My z400 has a stock pipe jet kit and I run a 1 tooth smaller front sprocket no need to spend money to make it louder

I'm ok with central mass too. Wherever I can get a group together is good for me...

I won't register it anywhere other then NH... Im not paying sales tax or property tax on something that's not really legal to use anywhere... Long as that's not a problem.

Mine is loud. Is what it is, had the pipe on it when I bought it, nothing I can really do about it.

same deal across the board. register in NH, its bad enough tax to CT, so if mass still collects tax on stuff i dont even keep there they can suck it. all my stuff has aftermarket pipes, had it on them but i cant say i mind. doing an airbox and fuel controller on my kfx made it a beast, not as much on the z400 but it was a nice gain
