I would have not known anything about Cannondale unless it was for this forum.

 

Ditto that Sandgod....

How's the Z coming along for you and your brother? You guys getting them dialed in and getting comfortable on them?

 

I too wouldn't own a Dale without the help of this forum.
Eskimo- Don't you own a 400EX you want to bother the people in the Honda forum about?

 

I've gotten to realize something about this topic as well.

Have you guys noticed that this forum has at least tripled in traffic in the past two to three months??????

I always looked from time to time and hardly ever was there more than 6 topics in a week at best.

This just shows that Cannondale is now beginning to really take off..... sooner than expected. That's good news for everyone.

 

Yeah we are getting them dialed in slowly. We will be racing mx in a few months. My brother is a good rider and I don't feel any big advantage on my Dale over his Z on a track. That's an honest opinion. Nobody has to like it or agree w/ it, but I am well aware of the Z's performance when a good rider gets on one and nobody should under estimate a Z,, Nobody!!!

 

Just a note on the Z400 I have one and this weekend I had a chance to really open it up on a nice stretch of road. I ran a 400ex stock (I gave up 50 lbs) he got the holeshot, but I worked the gears better beat him by a quad length or 2 in about 1/8 mile. Ran a raptor again down 50 lbs. Man am I fat. He got the holeshot, but did not pull. Switched to the Dale and let the spankings begin. Same quads 400 ex down 5-6 lengths easy had to look back so I couldn't tell how far. The Raptor got the holeshot had 3 lengths on me. I reeled him in and pulled away 3 lengths. With just a little money added the power gain is significant. To get the same out of the Z you need more money. I really like both quads though so don't think I am putting one down. Just noting that minor add ons (remaps) for the dale make a world of difference. Man that HMF exhaust is loud. (LOVIN IT)

 

Looks like rain here any minute

 

This post is just to commend all of the cannondale owners on acting like adults in this thread and not taking eskimo's comments as personal insults like I have seen in many other forums. You guys make me proud to be a cannondale owner. BTW I have not seen one post by eskimo that shows he has ever even ridden or seen a cannondale in action, so keep up the good attitudes guys.

 

Eskimo400, you have only been here a very short time and you have many of our members in a total uproar! If the responses in this thread are negative, then they should be no shock to you......most peoples initial impression of you is less than favorable. You have slandered and cursed nearly everyone you have came in contact with. If you continue......you will not be a member for long.
Having said that, I look forward to seeing much more productive posts from you from now on.
14mins....I only deleted the thread after the focus turned to a couple of guys slandering and harassing each other. When things go too far and a thread gets deleted, we all loose out.

 

Gary i know.

Just waiting to see a fuel injected 60 hp cannondale do a power wheely in 4 th gear at 55mph. Now boys that would be sweeet. You can have your mx tracks, but the thrill of cracking the throtle at 55 and coming up in a wheely(without tugging on the bars) is a real thrill.
