My dealer tells me that he is not getting any until November!
D_MN IT! Not much time left to ride one, at least in central Ohio.

Going to the dealer today. Will get an update. I know they have been alloted 7 silver ones. As far as I know, I'm the only TL buyer going through them.

If that's the case, I'd make sure you're there when that puppy comes in...or should I say when they're done assembling it. Get yourself a guard Beagle. Gonna get some Snoopy and the Red Baron goggles. You can even train them to peee on peoples legs. I'd say do something else on their leg, but family show.hehehe It's a jungle out there, you need to do whatever is needed to get you Predator!!

Well, they have no idea when any of the Predators are coming.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

The owner was going to call Polaris when I left. The purchase agreement is supposed to be finished by this Friday so he said he would just tell them it's done. He also said he thinks I will be the only one in Tulsa getting a TL. I expect he will ask me to leave it at the dealer for a while to show it off. (YEAH RIGHT!) Back in June the silver ones were supposed to be at dealers in August, then September, now November? What is going on here?!?!

OK, just got off the phone with Polaris. They don't even have a production date scheduled as of yet. They do show the Troy Lee's scheduled to deliver in December but have no idea about the silver ones. More info is to be released 4th quarter. So, I guess, October 1 they will have production dated scheduled.

Actually, this is a good thing. It shows that they are working out every detail before producing them. We would all rather wait another month than have recall or other issues to be corrected. the last thing Polaris needs is to release their first quad of this sort and have problems right off the bat. I've heard enough bashing. Better late and right then on time and in the shop.

My dealer is getting five and the first one in November. Two already have depsoits on them but I am hoping to ride one before they are all sold (or reserved due to deposits).

I would imagine the flood in Roseau also might weigh in on a bit of delay also. The whole downtown was a loss....everyone was sandbagging the factory. My folks said the town is still like a ghost-town.

I agree on the waiting being a good thing. Watching Tom and Jerry beat the living snot out of the test machines, over, and over, they launched off the jumps. The only thing that was stopping them was taking mandatory rehydration breaks from the Florida sun.
I hope they leave the plastic alone, I think the mags are making something out of nothing. I happen to like the modular futuristic design. If they're that hard pressed to find a fault....wow, you know Polaris did it right.
