Quote me saying that my atv is better because it is bigger. Any thread, any time. You won't be able to because I have NEVER said that bigger is better. Never. What I have said is that I (me, myself, my own person) prefer an atv with more power.

I'm sorry, but I really think you are an idiot.

I'm still sorry.

I do, and I have no reason to prove myself to you. I've ridden with members of this board and I'm quite positive that none of them have any reason to dispute anything I have listed as owning in my signature. Maybe I'll write your name on my *** and take a picture next to my 650.


Then again...maybe not.

 

Chumley, as I said, obviously you came in here to pick a fight. You remind me of someone that used to be on here. He would do the same thing. He is no longer on here and I don't know if it is by his choice or otherwise.

You take one sentence out of a paragraph, you take it out of context, and blow it out of proportion and try to fight over it. You miss the meaning of the paragraph and the context of the conversation. Then you try to attact people.

First of all did anyone say anything about you or too you or reference anything that you said - NO! It was a general conversaion that can bring a variety of opinions. If you don't like my opinion then I guess you have a problem. I don't mind if you disagree with me, I disagree with others but I don't start a fight with them. You picked out some of my comments and wanted to fight over them, you picked out something that Swampy said and wanted to battle about that too. If you don't like what we say then too bad. If you think that AC should put a 1000 cc engine in a quad, I for one disagree. Now that is my opinion and if you can't accept it then again - too bad.

I do know a little about sales and marketing. That is what I did most of my life and I retired 11 years ago at the age of 49. Why? because I could. I have what I need and I don't need millions or to be as rich as Donald Trump. So when I make a comment about sales and marketing I do know a little about it and I am not blowing smoke.

No one was talking about you, we were talking about the factories and where the market was going and the reasons why. So why do you jump in here and try to make a personal issue over every sentence?

You are entitled to your opinion - it doesn't mean crap to me, but it may to someone. And as Swampy said, why do the 400 and 500 owners have to pay for the R&D of a 900+ that we feel is overgunned for a quad. The 400 and 500's have not had many significant improvements or changes but the price has gone up, that is where the R&D money comes from. Now honestly, do you feel that a 900 or a 1000 in a 700 lb UTILITY is reasonable or practicle. But you know, people would buy them thinking that is what they need. Maybe in a sport bike but in a UTILITY? And as Scott said anything over a 650 in a UTILITY quad is a waste and I happen to agree. There is a difference between NEED and WANT also. Someone may want a 900 UTILITY but buy design and functionality is it really NEEDED - the answer to that my friend is NO. For a 700 lb UTILITY the machine to do what it was designed to do doesn't NEED anymore than what a 650 can deliver. Now if you disagree with that, that is cool, I can live with that and we can debate it but if you want to start to pick out a phrase here and there and blow it out of context and make an issue and start a fight - then take it elsewhere because I don't want to hear it.

And if you recall I mentioned that I would like to see AC improve on the UTILITY machines that they already have instead of putting in a 900 or larger engine. And there are several things that they could do, and I made mention about some of those too.

Then you come along and ask me 'who the hell do I think I am' - well I will tell you who I am. I am a person with an opinion and if you don't like it then stick it where the sun doesn't shine. And if you want to fight then stick your head the same place and fight for air.

I made reference to your shock covers just to poke some fun at you without being nasty. Actually I was thinking of getting some myself.

 

 

Yes your shock covers did stike a nerve with me - my funny nerve - I laughed my butt off.

How do you get cat-tails in there anyway? All the time doing wheelies and going 65mph... I didn't know that cat-tails grew in the middle of a dirt road.

Why dont you go clean your shock covers, i think they are getting dusty

>>>>>>>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>&g t;>

I highly doubt after all that you are thinking of getting shock covers

 

I have mudflaps and floorboard coverings, why not shock covers - they are practicle and do serve a purpose.

 

About my tread depth. As you probably know most of the 25" tires only have 1/2" tread depth. So I posted mine so that someone wanting a deeper tread didn't necessarily have to go to a 26" or 27" tire. That 3/4" and 1" tread depth is available on a 25" tire from some tire companies.
Some newbies may not know about that.

 

im goin out to night and get shock covers sos my 400 can go a little faster down the dirt road,if it makes it go 5 more mph, what the hell then there worth it

 

Those are some good pictures of you AC climbing the rocks. What would have made an awsome picture, would have been you coming down the other side with the AC standing on its nose, with the lower ground on the other side and all. I am such a big chicken I would not have even attempted that. I know I probably would have flipped end for end. I'll say one thing, you are braver than me.

 

If I remember right didnt they make a 1000cc utility vehicle a couple years before they came out with the prowler. I wonder if they are using that motor for some product development???
