Seems like preador topics have been dropping off lately. Just wondered if they were having slow sales or what.

How are the built preadors running??

 

My small dealer (good dealer) is the only Polaris sales in my town of 110,000 - I know he has sold five 03 Preds. this year.

 

the dealer here cant keep them in stock. and if sales is slowing it may be because of parts it took me 2 months to get a friggin oil filter and they say you need to change the oil one hour after riding it for the first time

 

predator530- Wix filter #51358 no need to wait 2 months

 

they have them in stock now but thanks for the info

 

All the predator owners are out on there bikes and not wasting time on here like some of us.

 

I also think that part of it is that knowone is having any serious problems, other than the occasional newbie question or a moddification query!

 

Me being a long time brand loyal Yamaha owner (I've owned 5 different machines of theirs) and then picking up the predator 6 months ago and starting to visit the Polaris forum, I've noticed a difference between forums, and the owners in general........

I can't put my finger on it, but I'd say the Polaris people aren't quite as vocal, and seem more low key. Kinda like the Ford/Chevy crowd that seems to spend a whole bunch of time doing pissing matches to see who is top dog, but then there are us Dodge owners quiet and off to the side.

Dare to be different? Maybe we're happy with what we own and don't have to always justify it to ourselves or others?

Like I said, after years and years in the Yamaha forum, and now just a 6 month old Polaris poster, I've noticed a difference, but can't quite put my finger on it.

Am I going too far to say I feel welcome amongst the Polaris Family? I never felt that way while talking about my 400cc stroker warrior or 400cc built banshee..........

IMHO, Most Polaris owners most likely aren't quite as passionate or fanatical about posting every day about their quads.

Even look at the Forum Message count by brand.......at this moment:

Yammy @ 24,608 posts
Honda @ 18,387 posts
Polaris @ 16,955 posts
Suzuki/Kawi/Bombs and Cannondales all under 7,000............

Shows a bit of the demographics, and look at the numerous utility or " family type " Gas and Go Polaris quads offers

 

Who you calling " not passionate or fanatic" ? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] hehe. I just like 'em. Nice points Dave. Ya see, that rocket fuel doesn't melt the logic of the brain. The day Heapster shows up with an "ignite" button on the Predator...better stand back, or bring the makings for Smores!

 

I think most Predator owners express themselves better while on thier Predators, ( tearing someone a new a$$hole ) than we do posting on the net.
