Na just kidding if you ask me we are all getting ripped off by the high price of any atv/bike. What can one do though but pay to play! So everyone just think of all the $$$ we spend on toys sometimes I cant believe what I spend on all of my own toys. When my car needs something I get all bent out of shape but I dont think anything of dropping thousands of dollars into my toys its kind of F'ed up if you think about it. Oh well everyone have fun and keep riding whatever it is that you like!

Isn't that the truth. I think my car is jealous of my atv.

I agree with you it does'nt matter what brand of machine you buy their all over priced (some more that others).
The point is their all mechanical and eventually their going to need replacement parts, some may cost more than others.
Until a company comes out with an atv thats "maintanence free" no quad is perfect not even my scrambler.

Okay then you get my point.
I garranty you that if we went riding we would'nt care what machines we where on. (except an atc 125m) other than that we'ed probably switch turns riding each others machines.

Scram- I agree with you 100%. I really don't give a rats gluteous maximus what the other riders drive. However, I do have to ride with 125 trike and it's my brother so I can't really do nuttin' bout dat. I don't let other people ride my quad(my brother 1 time because he let me use his truck to pick it up), I've seen to many people wreck very nice quads because they think they 'got it' and they don't know that there riding a 'shee,scrambler,raptor with 1500 in mods .

HOLY COW!!! HELMET660 is right! Scramdaddy, how did this happen? Did you just wake up like this, or did you seek counseling?

the atc is a fun little trike in snow i know that for shure it has knobies on it and will go way better that my pure sports on a 250r or shreders on my mojave but when it comes summer it gets a a sip of fule stablizer and ushaly gets a long nap. although it may not be fast (it is not) and it has no power and is less stable than a dirt bike it is still costs 10 times less that the big boy's toys. and then i jump on my R and say why the heck did i just ride that.

First off I'm not or ever was a biased if you read the posts I responded to they were "bashing" my scrambler.
I never came off bashing thier machines, I may have stated facts but never have a made a direct quote down sizing anothers ride.

Thanks for the compliment and no I did'nt get counciling, between my scrambler and truck I can barely afford to breath.
