Default I hope you Kawi guys are happy!

This past weekend my wife and I went to St.Joe state park with my dad and one of my friends and his wife.His wife rode my wife's scrambler and my wife rode my brother's V-FORCE.She fell in love with that bike.Now the polaris's days are numbered.She has never been this excited over a 4-wheeler.She is very shy,yet she was racing against my friends brute force.She liked the winning part.I was very proud of her.So now I have to figure out how to get her one.I also like the v-force too.Congradulations to Kawasaki on making a bike my wife will actually race on.She now says the polaris is too slow for her.Just thought you guys would like this story.

Bad day for the Scrambler yesterday.

My Father has an 02 with cam kit, exhaust, clutch kit, beadlocks and a bunch of goodies to lighten it. He was SURE that he would beat my KFX.

We raced for the 1st time yesterday and after the 3rd drag race, the last two of which I let him go off the line first and still blew right by him in 3rd gear he gave up. He was pissed, he just didn't believe a stock 400cc bike would beat his Scrambler.

So he went home and got his friend's Trail Blazer 400 2-stroke, so he could try and beat me with that since it's only 4x2 and a 2-stroke he KNEW he would smoke me. He did not although it was much closer. A started to pull away in mid 3rd gear and when I hit 4th I was gone. Of course the strip ended before I could hit 5th.

Congradulations on the victories.My wife and I have been talking and agreed that I need a newer truck worse than she needs a new 4-wheeler.We have not given up on the v-force,it just has to wait awhile.I hope to add a clutch kit to her polaris.Sure it will never be a v-force,but maybe I can make it alittle better for her.

Nothing wrong with the Scrambler at all. My Father loves them, this is his second one and they've both been pretty much bullet-proof in relatively stock form. I personally hate the no-clutch trans and the brakes but most Polaris people love them. He had a totally sick 400cc 2-stroke Scrambler built to the *****, putting out over 75 HP, it was the sickest 4x4 I've ever seen speed-wise. The piston he had in the thing would only run on race fuel, it wouldn't even idle with pump fuel. Of course it was at the cost of reliability, that thing started to break a lot of stuff after all the mods.

My wife is happy as hell on her Warrior, even though I'd like to get her a Raptor350. But like you we need a few other things before another quad. Like a garage, and a new truck, and etc............
