It's Sunday night. On Thursday, Quadfather, posted a message saying a dealer in Fidley had a couple machines unspoken for. I did a dealer search and the first one I called was closest to Findley, Oh. Sure enough, he had on blk/white machine that wasn't sold. I gave him my card number real quick. I went there yesterday(340 mile round trip) and picked it up. Rode it twice around his little front yard. Came home, drove it up and down the street few times. (I'm going to need to be careful - my neighbors don't share my enthusiasm - can do without police on my doorstep). Anyways, what a machine!!!!!! I thought my Scrambler(modified) was pretty radical. This thing will do circles around it. I might have 30 minutes on it today. I'm going to try for enough ride time throughout the week to take it to a little poker run in Edinboro, Pa on Friday night. I've always had 4wd machines, so I'm a little concerned about any technical areas encountered on a poker run. In the past, the Banshees and 400ex's haven't had a problem. I don't even want to put a scratch in this thing. My wife even likes it!

If you're still looking, call Sttreet Track and Trail in Conneaut Lake Pa at 1-877-STNTyes. The one I originally ordered there may not have been sold. It's not there yet and as of Friday, he (Steve Wiltrout) didn't know when it was going to be in.

The other guys have said 'it's worth the wait'. That was no consolation to me. I'm sure glad I finally have it. It is one bad machine.
