i noticed the same thing simple inclines are a bear on a cat but i guess you give up stability for height i still wouldnt trade my cat for anything. i get ragged on when i have a hard time with flipping on a hill and others go right up i try to explain its not loss of traction by any means its just high center of gravity

 

trv models are 8 inches longer which will make it more stable on a hill climb

This is why I don’t allow my more moronic friends and relatives to use my stuff.

 

I also learned the hardway. i borrowed my quad to my brother for a month and he let me ride his new suzuki 1500 LC bike and he returned it to me with $2300 of damage i had to fix and he got his bike back in mint shape. URRRRR Family. never again.

 

cracks add character!

 

dee dawg i learned the hard way trust me no one else is riding my bike no one im stuck eating the cost of the fender that got cracked because of someone else messing around but i was told to get over it it cant stay new forever so atleast he gave me something toward the whole thing

 

i learned the hard way about letting friends ride my atv. i bought my first brand new atv a 2002 arctic cat 500 just came out with that body style and a 500 automatic that thing was a cadillac in my eyes. had about 50 miles on it let my buddy ride it he lined it up to a big oak tree and run right into it dead center. took out my front bumper bunch of plastic pushed the winch back into the radiator took out one of the headlights and well it was after dark and his excuse was i did it earlier in the day and tried blaming him for it when about 15 people were standing right there and watched him do it so i had to pay for everything but my local arctic cat dealer can go to arctic cat salvage in thief river falls and get everything there for like 25 percent the cost of what it costs brand new. gosh i love that place.

 

weez, I know what place you are talking about; they always seem rather arrogant to me. I always get the feeling they are doing me a favor for allowing me to give them my money. Maybe it's just me, but other people have told me the same thing. They do have a hude inventory though, especially of older, hard to get stuff.
