Its funny how you Prairie guys like to put down all the other utes because they arent as fast as your Prairie. But, as soon as someone like Tellico comes around that has the ***** and the substantiated proof to tell you that your "almighty" Prairie isnt the next best thing to sliced bread, your get your panties in a bunch!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Its rather amusing to see you guys get all worked up because someone tells you that your Prairie isnt the best out there

Here is my thoughts on the IRS thingy...

IRS is great...maybe a little bad for trying to wipe the end around a curve...

my thoughts are worth 2 cents...REMEMBER...

I think what is bothering the Prairie riders is that every time they post anything Tellico gets on the post to tell them they bought junk because it isn't as cool as his Grizzly. On this one it is his post to begin with so no one can really get too uptight because most who posted here already knew he was going to flame about how stupid it is that Prairies are fast and if anyone had a brain they would have bought a Grizzly. Tellico lost it when the mags picked the Prairie as the shoot out winner. We will all have to wait for the weather to improve so he can get out and ride more and quit looking at the mags. Just messing with you Tellico but you have been on a rampage for a month or so now. If you ever were out this way I would still ride with you and would try to go were ever you did. If I got hung up I have a winch so it's all good. I could have bought either and it came down to the Prairie and the Grizzly for me, I like the Prairie better so that is what I bought. Everyone take a deep breath and go start your quad rev it up real hard bother the neighbors and you will feel better even if you can't ride much due to the snow and cold.

I never said anything about the scrambler being the best????[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] It seemed like all of you were attacking Tellico cuz he is one of the only guys to openly tell you that the Prairie CANT hang with the IRS machines when the trail get rough. Oh boy, and as soon as you guys heard that you were like flies on a ham sandwich, picking him apart. I respect Tellico for speaking his mind. This is not directed toward any of you personally so PLEASE dont take it that way, but I have found that Prairie owners or soon to be owners are some of the most arrogrant and bullheaded people on here. They think that their machine is the **** cuz he can beat all other UTILITY machines in a race yada yada yada. I agree completely with Tellico on this one. A utility machine shouold be about WHERE it can go, not howFAST it can go. Big deal the Prairie won magazine shoot outs. Its a fact that the Honda, Suzuki, and Kawasaki are big supporters of the mags, so no **** they win all the shoot outs. You gotta make your sponsor happy right?

Actually, there is this old woman that lives across the street that whenever I ride my Mx bikes, the law is usually sitting at the top of the road to catch me, but there are so killer trails around the house that I usually loose them!!!! BUT, down here in AL the sound ordinance law only comes into affect after 10pm, so throughout the day, I'll take my bike to the front of the hosue and point the rear end toward her house and REV it all the way to 13K!!! LOL!!!!!!!!! I'm sure she loves that, but theres nothing she can do!!!!!! Does that make me a bad person??????? I mean if there is more than 3 cars in the yard she has actually called the law saying we were doing drug deals when its actaully only my family coming over to see me!

I apprectiate it to BigBad!!!!!!! My views on all of my "fan club" is that its not so much their machine, whereas it is the riders of those machines, Shotgun has never bashed on me and whenever he post's something I don't pick it apart because we defiantely have two different riding styles and for his, the prairie very well suits his style versus mine!! The main thing that sets me off is that a machines design with 25 inch tires, 4x4, differential lock, racks and automatic, is a clear winner simply because of how "FAST" the machine can go!!! I don't dislike the machine itself and thats where most people bash me at, nor HAVE I EVER STATED THEY PICKED THE WRONG MACHINES, because for its use for them may be perfect, but its not a myth or a secret, its a FACT that ANY straight axle machine, will not go where IRS machines will. HOw about this, what if I were to say that Big Bad's Scrambler wouldnt go where my Grizzly or the Sportsmans would go?????? Do you peole think he would Post something back saying I WAS COMPLETELY WRONG AND START HATING ON ME, or would he simply agree with that because he knows the difference between his quad, his uses, My quad, IRS machines and there uses, and really KNOW how they do when the going gets REALLY rough??? He might actually even HATE yamaha!!!!!! But when it comes down to facts versus just someones opinion he actually tells the truth!! I think the Scrambler 500 is a VERY fast machine, but just like all the other Straight Axle machines, it has its weaknesses, as does my Grizzly versus his Scrambler in a RACE, it would be no race cuz he would blow my graphix off!!!!! Again, I appreciate your support for me with my "fan club" Big Bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anytime Tellico[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] I just say it how it is. I know for a fact that my scram could NEVER hang with the IRS machines in the rough stuff. But then again, my machine was never meant to be able to hang with IRS machines. But it does what I want it to do and fits my needs and wants out of an ATV. That is all I am concerned about. Sure its not the fastest. If I wanted to go real fast, I would have bought a DS650 like my buddy. But since he wanted to go fast, he has to sit and watch me while I play on the hill climbs and mud bogs cuz he knows that he hasnt a chance in hell with those. Another thing I find amusing about how "fast" the Prairie is, is that when we are talking about it compared to the other big bore utes, we are only talking about it being 2-3 mph faster!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] OH BOY GO SPEED RACER!!!!!
