700 plus dead"light losses" Maybe from your armchair. With your strong belief and support in whats happening in Iraq (not Afganistan that had to happen) I'd bet you've been listening to Rush. Maybe you all can get a group rate to Japan and save them some shipping costs. Satilite radio will still get you Rush .You must all know the sad American tellivision story where Japan sold thousands of T.V.'s at record losses for years in a plan to Bankrupt the American Companies. I't worked. Obviously touched a nerve when the "your carb is a Mikuni" comes out. If that keeps your chin up-O.K.. Sorry this got political but the Polaris and Canadian bashing pissed me off and I knew what the poor got no money think i'm a Republican halfwits response would be. Did'nt know this would tun into a War & Peace length read. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

>700 plus dead"light losses" Maybe from your armchair<

Not from “my armchair” but from every historical and military perspective those would be considered light losses. Look up the statistics on how many men were lost in WW2, Vietnam, WW1. During the Muese-Argonne Offensive we suffered 18,000 dead in THREE WEEKS of fighting. We lost almost 7000 on Iwo Jima.


>With your strong belief and support in whats happening in Iraq (not Afganistan that had to happen) I'd bet you've been listening to Rush<

No, I listen to the facts and I make up my own mind.


>Maybe you all can get a group rate to Japan and save them some shipping costs<

What the hell are you babbling about?


>Satilite radio will still get you Rush <

What is with your unhealthy and disturbing fixation on some AM radio commentator?


> You must all know the sad American tellivision story where Japan sold thousands of T.V.'s at record losses for years in a plan to Bankrupt the American Companies. I't worked. Obviously touched a nerve when the "your carb is a Mikuni" comes out.<

I reiterate what the hell are you babbling about? Telvisions, carburetors? WTF?


>I knew what the poor got no money think i'm a Republican halfwits response would be.<

The hell?? I can’t even begin descramble that. Are you a poor Republican halfwit? It that what you are attempting to say?


>Did'nt know this would tun into a War & Peace length read.<

I wouldn’t recommend War and Peace as an opener but cracking a book once in a while wouldn’t hurt. A history book might be a start.

I’m finished with you. It’s too difficult to wade through your baffling prose. Have fun in your ignorant hate filled little world and be sure to check for some evil republican hiding under your bed at night.

 

Stay outta my bedroom homo . It would be the last anyone saw of you mouth. You don't want none of me maggot

 

Here we go again with the WHO IS BEST FORUM. Holy cow people, leave well enough alone. All of these quads are great at something while others are great at something else. The kawasaki 700 still has more horse power and torque then any atv, including the sp700 efi, but that doesn't make it the best quad out there. The sp700 has the best ride while the honda is still probably the most reliable, but they are all good and reliable nowdays. If you want speed and trail riding with good mudding capabilities, get a kawa700 (suzuki 700 twinpeaks is a kawa). If you want a very comfortable ride and the best mudding abilities, get a sp700efi, yamahy 660 griz or ac650. If you want a good all around bike, get the honda rincon. BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS, get what you want according to your wants and needs. And as far as reliablilty is really concerned, they are all good, even the polaris's. Maybe 5 years ago the polaris quads were not that good, but they are very good nowdays. And I don't even own one, I have a kawasaki 700 prairie because that is what fit my needs and wants. I would consider buying any of the quads nowdays and when I bought my kawa 700, I looked at all of the big bore quads. I rode the polaris 700sp and now the 700spefi. I rode the yamaha griz and I rode my aunts rincon, and they were all great. I just chose what I felt fitted me the best, not that the other quads were bad. My second choice was the sp700 or the ac650, but then again, the rincon and yamaha was great too. So you see, the word best should never come into play when talking about the quads nowdays. I guess the ones who keep saying theirs is the best are the kids who are still in their teen age years.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

Bionic MORON is more like it. Did you just fall off the bus from Canada? You sound like a communist/socialist to me.

 

Met a lot of commie's in Canada dimwit? you must of been tops in your class in the woods shack. Saw your pic. sorry if your parents were prison camp survivors and passed the look and paranoia onto you. Congrats ya got the haircut and scarred look down pat. Hop on your 'Igor" (must be code for ugly)and ride full throttle untill oxygen enters your cranium. Good luck with oxygenation.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

Doesn't Polaris buy a lot of their motors from fuji? Hmmm......you better write Polaris and inform them to "Buy American Brother", as they seem to be not with your program. Also, ArticCat gets a lot of their engines from Suzuki (look at the DVX400 it is just the Z400 with differnet plastic), so yet again if you "buy American" your still not "buying" American.

At one time many American manufactures went by "planned obsolescence", that is they designed and built their products to only last a certain amount of time before they would start to need repair or replacement completely. What happened was that other manufactures from other countries started to build better quality products that far outlasted American made products for basically the same purchase price. The upside to this is that for the last 10-20 years American manufactures have made a effort to focus on quality for the consumer, some have improved greatly while some are still playing catch-up.

It all comes down to that its a global economy now, you cant just think inside the relms of what happens in your particular city/state that you live in.

Oh, and for the record.....I am a Rush listening, Sean Hannity reading, Bill O'Reily watching conservative. I would rant some more, but I have to get ready for my Young Republican meeting in the morning[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Polaris still has a rather poor reliability record when compared to the other two. I've had Yamahas and Honda products last for years AND still have a good resale value. Can't say the same about Polaris (don't even mention Bombardier). polaris stands for people often learn about realibilty issues soon

 

Open the valve , tilt your head to the side. Let some of the dirt out"dirthead" . Used to believe in buying the Jap bikes and had different registered REPUBLICAN views. Independant voter now. To be anything but has too mutch ballast in your boat to be thinking for yourself. I've seen too many specials about American jobs heading overseas and at some point decided my dollar could make a difference.As you age,your views change as well. If your making over 200000 a year and don't plan on having any offspring to pass this national debt onto ,Than you may be on the right track for yourself personnaly. Considering for a moment you'rethoughts about your future as well as those who follow us may sometime enter your mind. If not, leave all the sand in. Remain a trained dog to all media that agrees with you.

 

BIONIC,

Listen for a second please. I actually admire your convictions to your country. I truly do.
It's refreshing to see someone so patriotic.

But, when you get slammed as hard as you did on this post, you did what I figured you'd do; rely on personal insults to a member who is obviously more versed in politics than you (or I). In my world, I've stopped trying to figure it all out.
There is no point in calling him a homo. It only shows that you cannot provided an argument with any factual substance (it also shows your age); just relentless banter eminating with personal patriotic convictions. If I was keeping score, it would be CaptainQuint - 2, BIONIC - 0.

The war sucks. I hate war. I hate to see people dying by the masses because some people with power or money (is there a difference?) corrupt those around them for seemingly only personal gain. They don't care about their country! If they did, we wouldn't be over there giving it back to them. How can you show this undying compassion for someone who has NO PATRIOTIC CONVICTIONS (such as someone like you)? They (Iraqi's) should've stood up and took the damn thing back for themselves. Where's the patriotism there??

As long as there are people out there (both inside and outside our borders) threatening my way of life (or my childrens, or theirs) I WANT SOMEONE TO PROTECT THAT. I do not believe we are there for oil, but for eliminating our enemies abroad before they stand on our soil waiting to enter a school, a plane or the White House with a bomb, boxcutter or even a Dirty Magazine. It's called protecting your interests. Same thing you're trying to do when you say Buy American. How bout this....protect America from those with obvious plans to destroy every American alive.

I think we can all say we hated Saddam, right? But that doesn't mean we hate Iraqi's.
I'll let you in on something brother; THEY HATE US ALL. They'd like nothing more than to see you or your family suffer the way that Mr. Berg (aka Israeli Spy (just my opinion)) did in that horrible video.

I'm not a Republican, or a Democrat. I don't believe in blindly siding with any group. I like many aspects of what Republicans stand for.
I also dislike many too. Jobs being shipped overseas is one that I cannot fathom. Maybe CaptainQuint can provide some understandable justification for me (in earnest).

I believe in what George Bush is doing to protect our Country. Has 9/11 been too long ago for you? You preach of Patriotism to others?!
I also believe the guy can be a complete nimrod at times. I back him because I agree with the majority of what he stands for. But that doesn't make me a Republican. Do not attempt to label me so.

At this point, it would seem this argument can not be agreed upon. We all know how to save face, so I expect that no one else will try to actually admit their wrong. Opinions are opinions, and can NEVER be wrong. BIONIC, your opinions are yours, and I must respect that. But I do not have to agree.

That was guaranteed to me by American men and women just like those who are fighting and dying today in other parts of the world.
If you're so encompassed with Patriotic energy, write a letter to one of them, telling them how much you appreciate the OPTION to voice your opinions.
