Jeepersmitty!
As of now there is a 500i sitting in the garage! Ooo baby do i ever love it!! Arctic Cats are so unbelieveably awsome! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Eugene said that he ordered 40 machines lately and he has only 14 or so left. That is crazy, they are selling like hotcakes. He also said he won't be able to get any more until August, so I figure he'll sell most of what was left at the RV show and then he will be out of them altogether. When i was there he only had maybe five crates out front, I think, although I didn't really pay attention. He had a few inside and some in the garage that were sold and waiting to leave. He had mine all gussied up with armourall and it was spotless. It was a shame to ride it out into the dirt. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Don't worry we'll have our eye open for ACs on the trail. I can't wait to talk to some other owners passing by. Maybe you should consider coming to ride with the patrol as seen here: http://bluenosepatrol.freeservers.com/index.html

I haven't yet rode with them (obviously) but we plan to as soon as we can. Are you signed up at atvnation yet? If not it is a good place to go.

As for the sport and RV show, if ANYONE is going to that it will be me!! I have been waiting patiently for it all year!!

I am sure if your friend got the Eiger he would be happy. That is my second favourite atv (in the manual of course). I test drove one and it is light, agile and very fun to drive. How come your friend doesn't opt for the 400i manual?

Don't forget to see some pics of the my 500i. There are only six since the camera was almost out of film. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
