Bubba,

You've got it all wrong man! I don't own a Predator, Ben doesn't own one, and either does Kyle! There was nothing in there that said you had to own a Predator te enter or be picked. They basically were looking for racers from different disciplines. Ken is writing a article, which is why he was there. He also got some riding time in too. But him and Wayne Davis worked their tails off taking pictures, shooting video, and interviewing all of the contestants. A good time was had by all!!! No matter what you think of the Predator, the guys at Polaris are FIRST CLASS and should be commended!!!!! And, I really liked the machine, especially with the new changes for '04. Just wait!!!!! Are there any other manufacturers listening out there????????

 

HELLO!!!!

first place it is not Bubba that replied!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

2nd I guess I stand corrected.
I guess I need to go re-read the polaris web site.
I thought I had read that all the members of the test crew
had preds and or raced them.....

And as for the comment for Ken, I ribb him all the time,
just ask.....

But I am in love with my 250r,
I can say it is hard to beat......

See ya
DANA!!!!!!!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Nice pics but what is thee top speed on a sprt and does any one know what the cyclones top out at?

 

Lance, Dana (and Bubba) the story should be coming soon. Right here on the pages of ATV Connection. Yea, nothing like standing next to a guy sporting a $6000 Nikon. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Holy inferiority complex Batman. And as for deer-stands....that sucker wasn't OSHA approved. I've been up in quite a few of them, but I think if I would've sneezed, the entire tree would've come down. Lord only knows what would've happened if I had farted. [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]. Wesley!!!!! Get well soon!!! It's time to go fishin'!!!! Kyle's probably still casting in his driveway.

 

What changes for 04 on the Predator????

 

We signed a confidentiality agreement, so although it sounds cliche, I can't say yet. Your local dealer should be finding out soon.

 

Hey Ken, How's that article coming?

Wesley is doing good, he said racing will have to wait till next season.

How bout that action photo on the Polaris web site...pretty cool.

The 04' changes include new hydraulic muffler bearings to save weight and new furry hand grips to prevent blisters and oh yes on board catheter receptacle for those long fishing trips.

I was up all night battling that very simple web program "Frontpage". All I have to show for it is "ONE PAGE" of pics soooo small that the Who's down in Whoville would be squinting. Hmmm, garbage in, and garbage out....must've hit that delete button on something. I love Friday's, but I don't like watching the sunrise. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] The article is soon. Truckracer, like the others stated, keep an eye on the Polaris website, and your dealer. Wesley's da man!!!!!

 

Now that the LED/digital tach is finished, maybe I'll have more time for some fishin'!!!! Sorry everyone, that's a huge inside joke from the weekend. Keep an eye right here on the Connection for da details. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Features 2004 Predator 500 features
New! 9 in/22.9 cm rear Douglas rims
New! Hubs accept standard-size wheels
New! Silver Metallic color


I don't think 9" wheels and hubs are worthy of signing a confidentially agreement ! And 9" rims are a step backward as far as I'm concerned.
