All Outdoors in Hampton is the dealer I was refering to, I bought their last Cannibal yesterday :-)

I was also told last week that Burcham's Cycle in Colonial Heights has 2 Cannibal LE's for $3500 each.

Let me know if you want to drive up to Richmond and ride while your in Norfolk.

BTW: I used to ride a Scrambler 500 before the Speed, no comparison.

Guys, I am purchasing an 03 Blaze - I can't wait to get a chance to ride it, but it will be a while - not until first break from school at Thanksgiving time. I have a feeling after I get to ride it, I will be doing A LOT of thanking!

All Outdoors is a Polaris dealer, so they'd probably be your best bet for a trade. Which ever one you go for, you should do the Motor Mount and Crankcase Stud updates immediatly.

I'm going to do the 1 hour break-in on the new Cannibal this weekend then drop the motor and do all the updates before anymore riding. Not trying to scare you guys, but the updates are important and if taken care of the Dale will treat you right.

Yes Not to scare you but it looks like most of the engine failures due to the studs backing out happened very early in the engines life(like around 10 hours) The amount of actual failures is greatly exagerated also(about 2 in every hundred) The only thing is if you have one of the two you are in for a bad day and a lot of damage to repair. The front engine mount kit is a must and a homemade one is easy to make or a aftermarket one can be had cheap. I use mobil one and change the oil every 5 to 10 hours just to be safe. I use my speed for trail riding and it is the cats meow for crankin down the trails . I have never had a problem with ground clearance either but I stay away from the heavily rutted trails. You will not regret the blaze they got mucho goodies on them.

Absolutly do the updates!!!

THe Cannibal I bought last week is getting the 1 hour breakin, then I'm dropping the motor and putting a Stage 8 kit in it, also doing the motor mount and crankcase vent updates while it's out. The Stage 8 and Crankcase parts are allready here, I just can't seem to find the time to do the breakin.
