New Gorilla's givin me fits!
Why did you replace the axles in the first place for? Please don't tell me there was nothing wrong with the old axles and you paid big money for some high perfomance aftermarket axles, please don't tell me that! I just don't believe in changing and doing mods to any ATV like oversize tires cause problems too they change the balance and the center of gravity making the ATV dangerous and more prone to tip over. When I purchace a new ATV I put my trust that the Engineer that designed it has more brains than me. When you guys say you ride hard Im betting most of you guys could not keep up with me, I ride my little Eiger thru the woods at a very fast pace, I hit a river crossing at high speed so I have the speed to get it up a muddy vertical river bank, I take it up a hill climb thats sooo steep that if you stop in the middle or you don't make it ur atv will roll down and be destroyed, please don't tell me you ride hard cause I know if many of you guys ride in the conditions I ride you would chicken out. I know this for a fact, Im a hardened rider used to tough trails, when I go on poker runs across the state I find all of the poker run trails very easy with no tough challenge but most of the other riders there have problems and get scared and I think these poker runs are boring and easy.

Yes, I did break an axle. It was the wierdest thing, Just sitting in the garage and "snap" it broke. This must be the truth, since nobody rides harder than you! MotoF150 reminds me of the annoying kid on the playground, SHOOO FLY, DON'T BOTHER ME!

If the axles don't fit , don't worry , I bet there is a quilt show and flea market within a 30 mile radius . I know I sure get a charge out of looking at quilts and butter churns .
Love my Polaris. It hasn't failed me yet in over 250 miles of steep rock climbs and deep (up to the headlights) mudholes. Quad on.

When you guys say you ride hard Im betting most of you guys could not keep up with me, I ride my little Eiger thru the woods at a very fast pace, I hit a river crossing at high speed so I have the speed to get it up a muddy vertical river bank, I take it up a hill climb thats sooo steep that if you stop in the middle or you don't make it ur atv will roll down and be destroyed, [quote]
***** Moto do you have a video of this I would love to see it!! I like watching those type of vids.. I have seen various folk out here riding thru mud pits and swamps. But I have never seen anyone hit a river crossing at high speed. I drive a 26,000 lb truck for work and when i hit a big puddle the water goes everywhere, totally blinds my windshield, what happens when the Eiger hits the river at high speed does it do the same? How fast is high speed? like 5 mph or 65 mph?
***** All the poker runs I have been on have been mostly logging roads.. Gee they must do things different in your areas.
Oh by the way MotoF150.. On the thread here.

I was guilty bragging to him that my Eiger is just as good as his Polaris except his Polaris has a faster top speed. Im worried, I don't wanta him to see me stuck in the snow with my Eiger. If you guys that have experience in pushing snow could you give me some advice and tips on the right way to do it so I look good doing it so I won't look bad in front of my neighbor? .......

I never plowed snow with a ATV, and I don' wanta look stupid doing it in front of the neighbors cause I have a good reputation with the neighbors as being the most intelligent and the best looking man in town. I was worried about either getting my Eiger stuck or stalling it when pushing snow so I kinda figured I can push the snow in layers pushing the snow with the plow in the full lift postion, then lowering the plow and pushing the bottom layer again, I was thinking pushing snow that way is the safe way of doing it instead of pushing one big giant pile at a time. "pile" of snow.
***** Im suprised if your a hardened rider that you would get stuck in the snow. Did you ever figure out how to plow snow? Did you need to use my Craftsman rider to plow? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Never heard the outcome from it. Did you get stuck or did the Polaris outdo you? Just curious...
BTW: What cc is your eiger?
Instigator.. Wow your axle just snapped inthe garage the other day? Wow.. Hey at least your headlight didn fall out [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Wow.. Im in rare form.. Just full of questions [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
