Elroy, This guy got my goat when they had a episode with a Honda Rancher in it and they were going up a creek. Their was a rock shelf about 2ft. high. The Sp500 pulled up to it first and climed up with the two front wheels and backed back down. Next the Rancher came up and rode right up it and the whole crew cheered. Now if that wasnt some stuff. In the episode yesterday they show the Sp700 going over a sharp pile of dirt and high centering. Like if every quad there would'nt do the same thing. Then they show the same thing about two more times. I was thoroughly pi$$ed off by the end of the program.

That show p*ssed me off too. I was at home with the flu all this week and I saw that episode twice. Man, did I throw up after watching that crap! I dunno how they can call the Polaris 4WD dangerous. I never had a problem handling it...never! Would I be going too far if I call all of them pussies???

I wonder if any of them happen to read these forums.

P.S. As far as the idiot who got the compound fracture, did he/she even have ANY knowledge on how to operate an ATV???

From reading the other forums and reading consumer complaints, in magazines,internet. I guess the ruby shifts depending on rpm,gets stuck alot.(high gear when you want low) Some of my friends have grizz's most have been in the shop already'all trans problems.One friend's has been in there twice for the same problem(trans) it's only 6 months old 500 miles on it

I wish I had this channel. Sounds like it would be funny if they actually bash everyone. I can definetely relate to that Rancher/ Sportsman climb thing too. Not even a contest, though any time the Honda can do it, you can bet there will be cheers.

Can't comment on any transmission problems with a Grizzly though. I've never heard of it being an issue.
