Tres - give me a break change my name...let me quess modquad mother named him that what about SP700racer, JCAL etc.. I never changed my name I just didn't start posting earlier.
Rath doesn't sell his kits on Dyno number ( unlike Gary)
To discredit him ..the only thing he has done is to start this huge debate is try to make $$$ of his so called connections with Polaris. I was a little tired of reading all about it from him and his little group of pals. The Predator has been in more mag's then I can count right now and nothing about Superbike Shop. It just gets old, and this confidentiality curtain what a crock...Until I see it in print or here it from someone other then Gary..or members of his pack. I think he is full of it.
I will end this with a quote from Modquad ...I don't see the Polaris Factory trailers pulling into Superbike anytime soon..
For your case not even saying he has a bad product it might be great ...just be honest about it and stop living a fairytale.

 

Sounds like you have some issue's of your own.
Maybe an anger management class would be in order.
The guy is simply making a living at what he enjoys in life ..... Motorcycles
Maybe he should be hush hush about his deal with Polaris, even modquad stated that he did have a deal with them and I have personally seen the e-mails sent to him from Polaris.
One time deal or not, They did contract him to test the limits of the engine.
How many dealers did they do that with? It seems funny that you would lurk on these boards and have nothing to say untill the "Great Evil doer" Gary at Superbikes pushed your buttons too far, sent you over the edge into a venom spewing oratory of what an injustice it is for a guy to make a living. If you don't like his stuff ...don't buy it but your anger and hate has reduced your opinion to nada to me.

again, iwas pissed at the dealer because i thought he could have helped me out, just like probally anyone else would of hoped for, but he didn't. thats his good buisness ethics, ok whatever. i sure you probally know dealers that warranty customer caused problems. just thought he would help me out being i was the only one to buy a predator from him, and all the other crap from him. when i bought the bike from him he offered to put the kit on but i couldn't wait. if the nut still came off do you think he would have warrantied it? or paid out of his pocket?
i still don't know where you get that gary was gonna cover my motor? why would he? i'm sending him my motor to rebuild it, he has the parts in stock or would you wait till august for the dealer to get them in? or that when he said they could get them in by. thats why they were called dicks, and you wouldn't be pissed either?four months maybe? come on. then asking if it hurts anymore? those guys are dicks and a few other words that would get sensored. why did i go there it was the best deal i could find, compared to other places and the only place that had one in stock.
if you read my post again that you copied from the other board, i can't find where garys gonna cover the motor and gary called the dicks for not covering it. i though i could make a long story short, but now i know what jerk offs are out there looking to turn something into something its not and trying to discredit and disrespect somoeone who offered to help. the way i look at it, its one group of followers going after another group and this shgit ain't gonna stop till theres a head to head war to see who's best or who's got the best.

Sounds like Gary is not "old school" and is not liked by some of the longtime polaris people.

Looks like to me he is trying to help the predator guys out

Is his stuff anygood?? You need to make your own decisions based off info that you can find on it, or what you think your quad needs

Will someone come along and do things better?? Probably but hopefully gary will be able to step it up also.

Sounds like Gary got a head start on the others shops out there.

One time deal?? Polaris thought he could do it right or would have gone else where

Do i like using nuts, bolts and other stuff in the intake tract?? NO BUT if i thought it worked i might try it! I would dang shure figure out how to keep it from coming apart if i did.

 

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] *SNIFF*...Can't we all just get along?? Come on guys. We have the new POLARIS PREDATOR 500!!!! How cool is that. Feel the power, enjoy the scenery, and have fun. I know we have the 1st amendment, but sheesh guys, enough with the mudslinging. The forum is for opinions, not accusations!! Now everyone that is arguing right now, run outside, fire up your Pred, and slam the throttle, cause no matter what mods you have, it will leave that disgruntled face and attitude, AND EVERYTHING ELSE, in the dust with a glimmer of tail light!!

 

Little sp, I've been to gary's propoganda page, I've seen the dyno run. Unless I'm mistaken (after all I'm the idiot with ideas how to keep hardware out of engines). The baseline run stakes a W/B, but nothing about a K&N, so all he's testing is his mod against a stock setup. Big deal. And 14 mins, the main beef hasn't been about gary's credentials or really for that matter his product, but him elaborating on being a factory test cell, when in fact that plug had been pulled long ago. Kinda stretching things there don'tcha think. I think it's great he came out with gear quickly, just work out the bugs, and shoot straight with people. The little club sounds like some high school pep fest. Like Pudl said, enjoy this great ride and have fun. As for sp, the one who wants to get along, with some PM side agreement , then comes out trying to swing.....keep blowing your smoke. Build base HP first, max that out, then look for the nitrous. Keep up that train of thought and I'll smoke you like I do with my 400 on the DS nitrous guys. Learn to wrench yourself, then you might gain an appreciation for how these things work, and the rewards will be that much sweeter. Oh, gee, I'm not being too hard on you again am I....don't worry, I'm just the "idiot". [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Hey Pudl, let's ride!!!! Spent all day old schoolin' the trailer....polished diamond-plate...I need shades!

 

We'll get our chance to ride modquad, Monticello...12 days and counting. (pushing "air" throttle) Vrooom, Vrooooom....thump, thump, thump, thump!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

If you can't toot your own horn....

new rule as of 04-22-03 ALL PREDATORS MUST REMAIN STOCK. problem solved and the DS's and rappy's will remain happy.

I have not checked anyones web site, but sooner or later i will.

 

I hope that isn't the ONLY way to keep them happy, or they're all in trouble! j/k

 

Anyone here going to Snakehunt? I would especially like to see Air force kit...in action.
