It's really hard to get comfortable when you're laughing your **** off at the REAL machines broken down on the sidelines while your having a great time riding a better quad. I'd keep my pants off too if I were you. Save money on laundry detergent to spend fixing that ol' quad.

 

Why fix that which doesn't break? I'd tell you to save money and buy a REAL machine. Then you'll know the true meaning of power. I replace a topend every now and again, but then I can do that about 50 more times before I spent what you did. Looks like I'll be ridin' for a long time.

 

Yeah, I spent a lot of money all right. Ya get what ya pay for. BTW, I don't need to save up. I payed cash for mine.

If that's all that you've had to do to your quad, then you must not be riding it right or you're tellin' a little fib. If you're not a' fibbin' then you should send in a letter to all of the major atv magazines on what you've done to make your quad so much more reliable than all of the rest like it in the world. While your at it, contact Ripley's and give them the lowdown....

 

Well I'm out. I guess you went to bed. Perhaps we can chat tomorrow or something..

<< I dont know where people get the Cannondales are poorly built, they probably have the best fit and finish of any quad. I have absolutly no rust at all on mine. I have yet to see a Cannondale frame crack because its made of aluminum, if you want to talk about cheap aluminum, Ive seen 3 different raptors (2001) crack there sub-frames from minor roll-overs. I've rolled my C-dale 3 times now, not a dent on the frame, and they weren't just roll overs the bike tumbled down a few times, one time it even landed in rocky creek bed. Also Stock for stock a Cannibal will beat a Raptor, the Cannibal &amp; DS is a more even match, though the C-dale is slightly faster, but with pipes the Raptor &amp; DS are both faster than a piped C-dale, but even a stock C-dale will holeshot a piped DS or Raptor. Hey Corndog, theres no way you got 60HP with just a pipe and a remap. Also why does anybody care each quad has its own purpose:
Cannibal=Racer
DS650=Dunes &amp; Desert, also very reliable for long rides out in the woods and it would rule a European style natural terrain MX track
Raptor=All Around quad
Banshee=drag racer
LTZ400=woods
400EX=for people who cant handle the other ones[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] j/k

Ps. no bashing here just facts from my experience, there all good quads.....well unless its a honda.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] j/k again. I like picking on the Honda people, there so funny when there angry. >>



piped raptor will not beat a stock cannibal, been there done that.

 

Corndog, before I bought the Blaze, i had a Cannibal w/HMF pipe, it was a very close race with piped Raptors, but the Raptor could win if we had enough room to wind completely out.Do I feel confident that if you give me a piped Raptor, I would beat a Stock C-dale

 

kodiak- why did you get rid of your cannon.

Cornydog- get over it!! You brought a knife to a gun fight. (cannon vs raptor)

 

IVE NEVER SEEN A CANNONDALE COMPETE IN OUR LOCAL SAND DRAGS, THEY JUST RIDE AROUND AND WATCH. I GUESS THEY JUST CANT RUN WITH THE BIG BOYS, &quot;RAPTORS&quot;, BANSHEES,&amp; DSS. JUST SHY OF SOUNDING COCKY.

you loves the mags! maybe that explains why you have no idea what a cdale really is. one of the mags said honda and yamaha brought knifes to a gunfight(cdale brought the gun:confused[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] i think this quote would help you a lot since you have never raced a cdale &quot;Don't hold strong opinions about things you don't understand.&quot;
Go day to you.

 

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]CORNDOG; I HAVE PERSONALY SEEN VIDEO OF 01 RAPTOR DRAG RACE A 02 CDALE, AND THE RAPTOR BEAT IT THREE TIMES BY ABOUT 5', ALL THE RAPTOR HAD WAS A T-4 EXHAUST &amp; STOCK AIR BOX AND FILTER. ( DIRT DRAG 1/8 MI )AND YES THE CDALE GOT THE HOLESHOT, BUT BY THE TIME THE RAPTOR HIT TOP OF 2nd GEAR IT PULLED BY THE CDALE. ALL THREE TIMES. BY THE WAY, THE STOCK DS AND RAPTOR HAVE SAME TOP END SPEED OF 71-72mph
