I sold my 1999 Lakota 2 weeks ago to a friend. It was the 1st quad i bought new. I kept it clean, in the garage. Changed the oil etc. My friend tears it up after 2 weeks. I wish i had not sold it now.I don't know why it bothers me, he bought it. I quess i just hate to see a Kawaski get wounded in action. Yes my friend was okay,mainly wounded pride. He bought the lakota for his wife, then wrecked it right in front of her.
