I didn't say anything about you going fast. All I said, if you drove the V-Twin, you'd find places to jab the throttle to WOT. Not sure what that has to do with driving boats.... My quad doesn't float.....

 

Wires, I spent half of last year riding my buddy's Polaris 700 so I know about the big twins. I also know that a big engine don't make you a better rider. I have always gotten all that the was to get from my equipment. That's what make you good at it. "More Power" is a Tim "The Toolman" Taylor thing any everyone knows what he is capable of. As to the boat thing, if you think your quad is fast you got another think coming. I know what really fast is and I know when it is safe to do. The average quad and rider should never go faster than about 30 mph as the average driver is over his head when doing so. Just like the average driver is over his head driving he's car faster than 100 mph probaly less. Improving on what the factory does is no great challenge, but it then again why do so for the trails. You can't possibly use any more power. Hell, I went everywhere the 700's, 650's and 500's went last year so if you will really be honest about it the big engine is for your ego and that's about it. Smart marketing on the manufactures part.

 

To each his own. Isn't it great that we can live in a society, where we can all express our own opinions. I say the jar is half empty. The next guy says it's half full. So who's right? I guess it all depends on what side of the fence your on. Both views given here are correct. If we all see everything the same way, this world would suck. But I do believe that, just because you may not agree with the next guy, he is intitled to his opinion. Everybody has different interests, and they buy a certain product to fill their needs. As long as it's not illegal, they have the same rights as the next guy. We like riding ATV's. See, we do have something in common.

 

IM not an average rider, been doing it since I was 4. On top of that, I;ve drag raced since i was old enough to get on the track, and have taking 8.80 cars down the quarter mile, and I owned and raced a 10 sec 91 mustang notch back. So im not worried about a quad that might put out 50 hp modded [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img].. thanks for the concern bear

 

ok to put this thread to a close maybe we should just ask arctic cat for an efi system [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] and well 2nd bear i put all these mods on my 650 and it doesn't do anything for top end it actually lost on top end i wanted more low end torque and thats what i got now yes my 650 did well i hit 68 with it a couple times brand new but when i did reach those speeds i was in complete control (in a sense a person isn't always absolutely 100 percent in complete control even doing 10 mph) and there is a reason why i stress that each and every person looking for an atv should purchase one at their own level of experience. I haven't ever been around dirt bikes a couple years ago i was contemplating on buying a KTM but i wasn't gonna go buy the biggest and baddest i was gonna buy a lil 125 to start out with. ok i got sidetracked there but differnt mods do different things and different people want more power in different area's of your power band

 

Weez440; I will tell you a secret, well it's not really a secret but I know why you are doing what you are doing and why. How? Been there and done that. I can't wait for you to get to be my age(if you get lucky or is it unlucky enough to last this long) and you try telling a youngster what you know. It can be flustrating.

Pigsticker; You aint the only one that has drag raced fast cars, did that before boats and to tell the truth quads aren't drag cars and neither are boats. Different ball game all together. I also race roundy round cars. So fast aint no stranger to me. Experience isn't something I have a lack of, got the scars to prove it too. Like I said "been the done that". I did some other even more dangerous thing in my life, but that's another story.

 

Ha ha.... Bear once again get's the last word in.... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Always a peeing contest with you, isn't it? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Wires; If you think this is a pissing contest, you need more life experince. This is just a little discussion and even fun, most of the time. Everybody gets to have their view of things and should express it, but the flip side is the other guy get to express his to.

 

Some people just know everything and don't mind letting everyone know it too.

Those people think that everyone else is dumb if they don't heed their advice.Just because your old doesn't mean you are wise or command respect.I see less and less people showing respect to a certain know it all that thinks everyone else should sit down and listen to his knowledge and hang off every word.

Giving your opinion is one thing but telling it is different.Old age doesn't teach how to get along with others I guess.

 

Heyyou; I never once said I knew everything. In fact I never met anyone who did. I also never once and never have said everyone else is dumb. Very few people are dumb. A lot of us can be stupid, ingnorant or even run our months without knowing the truth. But very few on here are dumb or do dumb things. Some dumb things get said but I could careless about that. I don't have any problem with others expressing the opinions, but I get my say too. If you say I'm dumb for that, then you are young and "the young do not always do what they are told or should do." I am not young and have much life experince to go by and the scars that go with being smart enough to avoid death or lucky enough, whichever it was. So I have been there and done that and if you are lucky you might make it to old age and be able to say that too.
