Hey Viper,
I walked in right at 7pm & the room was packed. I had a bright yellow shirt on & saw a guy with a beard just standing up to start his speech. Since there weren't any seats to be had, we proceeded right to the bar, had dinner & a couple of beers. The meeting was still going when we left.... and a 1/2 dozen people standing just outside.
I was a bit disappointed there wasn't enough room for us, but I was stunned the meeting had so many people there. I thought maybe a dozen or twenty but there had to have been 50 or 60 people in there.
Anyway, I'm hoping to make the CdA ride on the 23rd too.

You should have walked right in. Worst could have happened is you could have been in the wrong room.

Pastor; Good to hear from you again, glad I didn't tick you off too bad before. sorry about all that brother.
I traded in my 2003 (one of them) Rincon and paid $4000 to boot. The Outlander I bought was the one passenger model with no winch or bumpers and they are supposed to go for about $8500. I bought it at Dean Swann's dealership over in Pinehurst. He did not give me any wiggle room on the price, but he did give me $4500 for my Rincon and I saved on tax since you only pay tax on the $4000 difference rather than the whole $8500. I figured I would have had to sell the Rincon for more than $4750 to beat it not including what advertising it would have cost me. I bought from Dean because I know I can count on him if anything goes wrong since he is a good friend of my Father's.
I did not find any dealers willing to go down on their prices because they all say that they are selling every single one they get just as fast as they can, and why lower the price. I ran into the same thing when I bought my 350 Sportsman at AllSport back in 1993. He couldn't get enough of them and so he wouldn't lower his price even though I had cash in my hand. Polaris has cought up with demand now but back in those days he was sold out early in the year and couldn't get any more.
If you want to take an extended test drive, just hook up with Viper and I. We will most likely be riding nearly every week on Wednesday or Thursday this year. I can also go on Saturdays when the online guys get together.

JayDeeCoy...Thanks for the info. Right now my King Quad is in the shop. The problem? I wish i knew...this is a great bike...but I am having doubts about it going the distance with me. There are numerous issues. I might call the guy at pinehurst and chat with him. I am seriously looking at either the Outlander our the new Polaris 800. However...i am really leaning toward the Outlander. We don't want Ragged to too excited!

Hi Pastor. One thing I thought was rather nice if you don't mind a little drive, is over at CDA Polaris they have several machines from competitors to try on a track. All the latest. They did not have the Outlander or a Suzi...but they had pretty much everything else. Artic Cat, Honda, Kawasaki..and they were working on others like a month ago. Nice people too. They felt once people tried the others, they would still pick the Polaris. Their track is pretty good too. They have a good rock course and of course the usual dirt track. I myself have the 06 800 and I have no regrets.
I can hit close to 75 mph on pavement. It will tow like 1500 lbs. And it is a extremely comfortable ride. Has a whole different sound compared to what I was used to. Never tried the Outlander, but I was tempted on that one as well. One of my neighbors has one and I have heard great things about them in regards to power. And in regard to the Paper companies land, I myself have only rode out on the land they have out by Twin Lakes...but it was fantastic. Had a ride from there all the way up to mount Spokane once. It was truly great. That was before a person had to pay for a permit, but I'll happily do so this year. That is after I get done exploring Canfield, which I apparently missed 99.9% of. Thats good news though.
I know there is a dealer out in West Plains...Westside. They sell bombardier.
