I don't think he is to unimpressed with the quad itself. He had to do some minor changes/modifications/ad-ons after he got it. The quad runs pretty good and performs well. his son races with my daughter, and that thing did great this weekend.

He's got it all fixed up and running good, we'll see how good it's reliablity is over time, but seems to be running good now.

I think his big problem if you read his post, was with EASTSIDE MOTORSPORTS and their To Bad, So Sad attitude.
They didn't support or help him out at all after the purchase. EVEN THOUGH he was going to be a dealer for them.

I'm looking forward to watching him run that thing somemore. He's a young kid and a great rider.
Just watch out, I'm trying to get Ash back on your heels [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

thanks sean, your right its not the quad i expect things to happen,but if eastside wants to be an *** to me then ,well, i can be an ***, we just need this quad to last two years then its shifter quad like coles, thats where this sports going , just got to reach deep into those pockets,and to ash I love seeing her shes always got a glow about her and a smile ,she really loves racing ,and hi to team graff from team hillbillies[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Oh man, wish we could all get our kids a quad like Cole's.
That new machine is just flat out sweet.
Watching that kid race in the Blaster Class and keep Reed behind him was pretty impressive.
You'd be hard pressed to find a much better 14 y/o rider in the COUNTRY than Reed.
And to watch Cole race him hard and toe to toe is just awsome. What, isn't he only about 9 y/o [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I showed Ash your post, boy did she blush. Those were very nice comments....
Ditto back to Nathon though. He's a little shy like Ash, but can tell he's a great kid just out having fun.
And doing a great job. Will be nice to see him progress, he'll be a force to be beaten.

I also talked to Brian before he left. Hopefully I can work something out to get the other 70.
We'll talk about it at the next race.........

Continued good luck with the new quad, looked good Sunday........................
