So, I thought I'd steal an idea for a thread topic from the polaris forum...

I'll keep the rules the same as the polaris thread (not that anyone will follow'em )


Rules:

1. Maximum of 3 examples per post.
2. Someone else must post before you can post again.
3. Examples can be positive or negative.

If you have to keep looking back to make sure other riders are still there-

When you offer someone ride time on your Renegade 800x and after looking it over they decide “maybe another day”

You might be a CanAm rider if your frame twists because you looked at it the wrong way.

Actually, I think they are great machines. I wish I had the CanAm 500 in my X2. I wouldn't get one without putting a skid plate or frame insert on. Small box frame is just a little too weak for the rocky trails we go on. We did the frame insert on my Son's and I think that will help. Good machines.

You like your eyeball set back a 1/4" in your head every time you leg it.


I looked at a new Polaris 850 XP and a Outlander 800 today and I would swear that both of them are bigger than my F-250.

Did Honda's Big Red designers work for either one of these companies??
