Default Cannonfail???

Well it looks like the quads got the shaft the other day when no buyer stepped foreward. What is everyone going to do?? Will they have to keep parts for a while?? I hate to see the quads dissapear but it looks like that happened. From what read it looks like 5000 quads were made over the 3 year run. That it is pretty large number IMO.

well life goes on' hate it that cannondale cant say the same thing. we have already picked up another quad and am in the process of setting it up for josh. i dont want to go into detail right now since i am keeping it under my hat for the time being. we just plan on showing up at one of our local tracks very soon and everyone will see what josh is running now. we will miss the cannondale but we cant let that keep us off the track. watch for the change in my signature very soon.

I wouldn't say that yet. Sounds to me that there is still going to be a new owner of the motorsports.
We are till sticking it out to the end even though the end seems to be near for some. We feel that it isn't over till its over.
Keep the faith.
thanks
Lewis
I hope you're right!

14mins,

Stupid question but; What does it matter to you? Not trying to start stuff. It won't be a Raptor that's for sure. The last couple of months I've been reading your post in regards to the Cannondale issue and you haven't said squat that was positive.

Parts will be avalible for some time although the cost might go up. There are still people talking with Pegasus about taking over the Motorsport Div. The bikes will be dropped and only the quads will be made.

Lots of money is on the line, not only for any new owner but for Pegasus as well.

We may be swinging from a tree, but at least we are still kicking.

Smitty

Maybe somebody will pick them up. Last I checked things went up in value when they stopped making them in the atv world... Now Yamaha and Honda can go back to making more 4x4's...

Smitty- I do not care on hand. I was wondering if the cannondale quad owners were going to plan B. You hate to hammer your good stuff all the time. I was wondering if some were going to get another quad for a back-up for there cannon if parts are hard to find, or sell it and move on down the road. It is not my fault they failed. I do not consider myself a cannon basher, i do not and will probably never own one. I am glad i do not on the hand they went under. I hope somebody buys them and starts up again. They will not do anything for the current owners. If they start back up i would think they will use a du=ifferent motor. In atv sport montgmerory admitted the motor was a blunder on there part. It is a little funny how a lot of cannon owners were big talkers and whatever. Now the company is not going to do anything for you. That is what i feel bad for you all. You went out on a limb and now you are behind the 8 ball.

Yeah, stick a fork in em....they're dead. We'll never see a new Cannondale made, but we've got parts coming. A group of people are working out the details of parts depot....don't worry guys....we'll still be using your Raptoids for traction!
