What is not natural and in the past has been frowned upon by the moderators is forum jumping to cause trouble. If you guys want to tout AC, do it on the AC forum. If you think Honda is better, great! Talking about it on the Honda forum means you are simply an enthusiast. Talking about it on someone else's forum just means you want to cause trouble.
I don't know you gtdoctor but if this was the AC forum, I would be thinking the same thing I am saying on my forum.........only it would be on their behalf[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Ahem!.....I have been known to go start some shenanegans on the Yammi forum, lol. But I have that right since I own 3 Yammi's........4 if you include my generator, lol.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

>>>Valcourt, Québec, September 22, 2006 – Can-AmTM ATVs from BRP won the manufacturers' championship of the inaugural World PowerSports Association (WPSA) Quadterrain racing tour.

Ok, well BOTH manufacturers seem to be claiming some kind of championship here then. Which is which?
MOST wins and MOST podiums=??

Dsnut, I understand that you're just giving V2 a little jazz because he's a Cat owner. My point was simply that it's pretty hard to single him out when you got 3 or 4 guys, in the same thread, doing exactly the same thing.
I attempted to make a similar point to Raidermike when he came to the AC side and nailed a guy for saying something stupid about Can Am, yet we had just had a thread on this site for a number of days where one or two guys were consitently bashing AC (and apparently that was ok?).
As for me, I don't bash, period. And I don't care who's doing it, or what "site" it's on, it's pointless. I come on these forums, including this one, because it's entertaining, and being relatively new to 4-wheeling, I've learned quite a bit about brands other than AC.
Don't you think it would be a little bit boring if someone started a thread like this (about racing, competition, or comparison), and nobody from the other side chimed in at all?
I guess I'd have to disagree with you on your statement, "talking about it on someone elses forum just means you want to cause trouble". I've posted here a half a dozen times or so, sometimes making a point about AC, but never once have I tried to cause trouble. In fact, I have been very complimentary about Can Am (2 friends have them). It all depends on how you do it. If someone comes in here acting like a jerk, I agree with you. But for the most part, that certainly has not been the case with the 2 or 3 AC guys that post over here.
And , yes, Raidermike, both companies can lay claim to a championship. AC with the individual, and Can Am with the team championship (one point over AC).

Point #2 Who in their right mind would go over to someone else's forum and paint the picture that "My stuff is better than your stuff" and think that is not causing trouble? You disagree with my definition, then you site yourself as an example why I am off base, then you describe yourself as approaching the discussion in a totally different manner than the people I am referring to. If you don't fit the mold i am describing, then I am obviously not referring to you or anyone like you therefore you can't site youself as an example of why I am wrong.
Point #3 Re-read my post. I stated very clearly that I don't condone other guys going to the AC forum to say Can-Am is better than AC, yet you felt it necessary to make this sarcastic remark "(and apparently that was ok?)".
Everything else I agree with.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

If you take the last 9 events in which all raced, AC would of been 3rd and not 1st and BRP would of been 1st. But that is how it goes. If you want to be champ, you need to be at all the races.

Despite only competing in 9 of 10 events on the start-up circuit, racers on stock Can-Am OutlanderTM 650 H.O. EFI 4x4 ATVs won four races – the most of any manufacturer, and 12 of 30 podium spots – twice as many as the closest competitor. Can-Am racers also won seven of eight holeshot awards for the quickest driver to the first corner.

So whats this prove? AC has the better riders and Can Am has the better machines?
