Default MY Story

I just bought a new AC V2 650 on total impulse. Here’s the story.
My wife was out of town visiting her sister and our daughter. “Batching It” with nothing to do I went to the motorcycle show. Being a sledhead with no snow I turned my focus to the ATVs. I call my lovely and said I would like to purchase a 4 wheeler. To my delight her response was,” that would be nice”. The day before pick-up I requested a check for $8,260.12. Needless to say her enthusiasm had waned. Her retort was,” this is costing more than we paid for Julie’s Metro”. My counter was energetic, “ If it will make you feel any better we can call it Julie’s Quad the only difference is she will not be the one wearing it out”.
The rest is history I am working out the bugs and not only liking it I am love’n like it
Now Go Take On The Day!

Man, there's nothing like a good "impulse buy".

My wife and I were on our way HOME from vacation when we stopped for gas in Elko, NV. Right down the street was the local Arctic Cat dealer. She wanted to call her folks on the cell, and I wanted to go look at ATV's. So she sat in the trailer and chit-chatted, while I went down the street to drool. By the time she got there, we were two Cats and a trailer richer.

Of course, we had to arrange for 'next day pickup' because I didn't have the hitch on the back of our travel trailer - yet.

Impulse buying is what makes the country work [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Theshonk, Congratulations on your new quad! Can you tell me if there is much snow in the lower elevations around Priest Lake? Thanks,

I have not been to Priest for a few weeks (gave up on the sleds). We made to North Baldie early in the morning the week before not much snow down low watch the ice.
