Default Scary!

Bought p700 just before I went moose hunting. It was quite quick but I thought was very controllable. Put 275 miles on while hunting at no time was I on a trail or a road where I would or could hammer the throttle. Today I went at it and cleaned it up as it was mud from one end to the other. After cleaning it I noticed neighbour down the road trying to load his bike on truck, jumped on the p700 and when I hit the pave road I hammered it. I lifted the front end so severely I thought it was coming over on top of me. Let up and did it again going about 20 miles a hour and it lifted again. The neigbour saw it and said I was crazy buying a atv with that much power he threatened to take a plug out so I don't kill myself. I assured him this old 62 year old won't be hammering it to often. Then again; it sure was a exhilarating feeling to know there is that much power available. Reminds me when I had a 70 Dodge Charger with a hemi passed everything but a gas station.

Yeah; went in to buy a 360 prairie, brought home the 700. The dealers should never be allowed to start the twins up just the sound of it got me. No moose this year, but reservation are made again for next year. Three of us watched a bull for 10 minutes but we only had a cow tag. It will be there again next year hopefully.

your neighbour was surprised by the wheelie and i bet your neigbour was also surprised that a 62 yr old could get such a giant woody.
