First thing I thought when I you that yesterday was "hell I'd buy that, fix the problem (probably something simple) and relist it" LOL

That would be a pretty good deal. He's sending me pics tomorrow night.
Do you really want a 2-wheel drive when you have that 400 already? What ever happened to that CanAm you had?

Haha, yeah. He loves to sell stuff for cheap.

I know, I know.....I guess I'm just thinking it'd be a nice wheeler for the girlfriend to tool around on....but she could do that on a 4x4 too. It is awfully new though....I'm wondering if I could turn around and sell it for more than my sled (right now) come spring....

Too bad that Zuk sold. That would have been fun. Here's my other top candidate I'm calling tomorrow:

1995 POLARIS SPORTSMAN 400

Half the ones I had found sold over the course of the day!

You have to make it round again or replace the tube.

For the gf??? Might be better to get the CVT tranny then instead of something with 15 gears, LOL

You might like a little more cc than the 250 has too.

I'm not looking for a 4 wheeler for her, she'll probably just end up riding whatever I get. lol

She's actually a pretty good shifter. She mastered the 230's clutch instantly. She has a little more trouble with the DVX, but that's to be expected.

My boss has a pair of the Trailblazer 250s, and he let us borrow one on our trip out to Silver Lake Dunes in Michigan (Best business trip ever!) She loved it, even in the sand. I got on, and it could hardly haul my *** around in the sand, and I'm not a big guy by any means. haha In its defense, the sand was wet, and even my DVX was laboring at times.

BTW, regarding the ovaled out swinger, didn't someone try to use JB to fix that a while back and fail miserably? Or am I thinking of myself trying to fix the ovaling of my foot peg mounts after the jumping?

Well, either way...JB is not the way to fix this one.
