No No Most Our Parts are Recalls or Manly Old Parts and Rust. LOL trust me I have heard them all! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I had to carry a tool kit in my '86 Dodge van at all times. I can't remember if that started before or after I rolled it 1/8 of a mile. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] There are a lot of things I can't remember anymore. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] After that I kept a carboard box in the house for all the parts that fell off in the driveway and I couldn't figure out where they went. Mostly just nuts and bolts. I had every one of the door hinges break except the two front doors. I would just open a door and it would almost fall off, but it was okay the time I opened it before that. I had bad luck with with the van. I crashed it several times too. Even when I was sober.

I loved my '79 RamCharger but totalled it out when it was 6 months old. I haven't totalled out one of my Chevys yet and hope I never do. I'm getting to old for that stuff. I remember when I was a kid MOPAR made lots of great muscle cars. The gas shortages in the '70s killed them, but at least the gas you couldn't get enough of was cheap. lol

 

Well here I am again complaining about the rain, we got 9 inches last night NINE!!.. took me 45 min to get to work.... normally takes me 12. I live about 7 miles from work mostly on gravel roads 4 of which was flooded.

Had to call the school also, as I was looking for a route to work, my kids (who go to summer school) bus came up as I was backtracking, I waved it down and told the driver both roads was flooded out, he looked right at me with my kids on the bus and said. "I think the bus will make it". Then he drove off.... from the top of the hill it was an easy 200 yards of water over the road. He got about 40 yards in and the bumper of the bus was completely under water then the buss stalled. Took him 5 min to get it started again then he backed all the way out.

If they dont fire that sombitch they are never gonna hear the end of it from me.

 

Got to love ignorance!

 

Hell, I would rather ride in the rain than the Dust any day!!

And I am not Bias , I just like what I ride. (Polaris)

 

I gave up brand bias long ago. To be honest, there isn''t enough difference in most machines to notice. It's rampant in the sport bike community- but it's always someone that if you took the plastics and stickers off the bikes- they couldn't tell the difference anyway.

The key is that about 1 percent of the world is good enough to be able to notice a difference. But boy do they think they're the next Valentino Rossi. I tell them unless you're in the first couple rows at an AMA Superbike field, you can't ride a bone stock crotch rocket well enough to know one from another.

It's also why I mocked them for the list of mods they do to bikes. To a one, none of the sport bikers I know can ride a stock machine to 100% (more like 60% if they're lucky) capability, much less find a need for expensive mods.

ATV's are a little different, but I readily admit I'll fall off long before my Cat succumbs to gravity. Bone stock any decent quad will do more than I trust my skills to test.

For the major brands I think they are all really good and when finding differences, it's really just nitpicking. As I said in another thread though- I do consider the chinese makes a risk. Not that I can evaluate their mechanical strength, only that I fear those brands being around in a couple years. I honestly have the same reservations of Can-Am (I remember the original and how it died) although the BRP conglomerate lends stability.

But recalling the demise of the original Can Am, seeing Husquvarna (sp) and cannondale all go down the tubes in the past, I am skeptical of buying anything without many years of solid, uninterrupted production.

I went with Arctic Cat mostly because of small things they offered, but mostly because I got killer prices on mine. That's really the dealer, but those guys were cool so if I'm parting with cash, that's the kind of place I like

 

I dont care what make or model quad it is. I'm out here to have fun. What does bother me is some loud mouth talking crap on his nice shiny quad sitting on the side while the rest of us are in waist deep mud having fun. I don't let that crap get to me.( TOO OLD and hardheaded ) I just tell them one of us will be out here to pull their loud mouth no engine running *** out, if they shut up long enough to get muddy. So bring it on big boy. LOL LOL

 

well im not a *kiddie* but im 15 and im not an annoyance like the others u talk about?

 

What I was talking about are certain people around here, not anyone here on the web site.

 

I see no one has commented lately so I thought I would say hello to anyone who is has been out enjoyingthe sport latley!
