This forum is getting pretty DAMN SAD. All I read is riders(especially RAPTOR riders) bashing other people's rides. LIKE ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE SAY, ATVs ARE BEST IN SOME CONDITIONS AND BAD IN OTHERS.
SEEMS LIKE ALOT OF PEOPLE GO OUT AND BUY THE FASTEST STOCK QUAD FROM THE DEALER, SO THEY CAN JUST SAY "MINES FASTER"!!
IF YOU WANT TO ARGUE ABOUT WHO'S FASTER, BUILD YOURS INTO A RACE MACHINE, GO TO THE TRACK OR THE STRIP, AND TRY YOUR HARDEST AND GO UP AGAINST SIMILAR MACHINES, THEN YOU CAN SAY "MINE'S FASTER" AND ALSO HAVE FUN IN ACCOMPLISHING IT!

I HOPE I MADE A POINT...

Interesting... my dad's faster than yours though.. so.. it dosent really matter I hope we can all realize what this guy's trying to say. If you're going to talk trash, do it on the trails where you can PROVE it. And above all, Why must we all down POLARIS? Just because they have features that allow them to IN SOME CONDITIONS be better, or better equipped, you guys shouldn't put them down. I have 2 polaris', and my Banshee, and I wouldnt trade any of them(cept the banshee). I am very well pleased with my Polaris' performance, and have no problems(other than a sh!tty dealer) yet. well, there's sportscenter to be watched. LaTeR

What you say is true, but I guess you didn't make any point towards the ones that constantly bash any ohter machine. You're also right when you talk about SOME Raptor owner. Because they got the most expensive sport quad on the market, no one is allowed to think about any possible default about this machine. You should note that this also works for SOME DS owners. Banshee owners must be riding while the others are typing .
The problem is that we notice the ones who talk trash, and the normal guys just don't post, because they don't need, or because they are riding...
Sometimes it's fun to read those topics, and sometimes I skip...just a choice to make. They can argue...I don't care...sometimes I also add somthing that needs to be corrected, but ...it's just for the fun of reading trash..hehe

The important thing is we all have quads and we all ride.

I hear you, H300F. I was out riding an my Warrior today, along with some buddies who had a Banshee, and a 400EX. So who had the most fun? Well, that's a trick question. Nobody had more fun than the next guy. We all had a blast, regardless of which machine we rode.

Isnt the internet wonderfull. People can come in and write about this and that and hide behind a screen, they do and always will.

I sometimes post topics about racing or just a trail ride and its all just about fun.

Ride and have fun, you dont have to be the fastest kid on the block. Thats where most of the quad bashing comes from, the younger audience.

Just ignore the bashing threads and dont feed the flame, simple as that.

When you think about it... probably 95% of the board members here are male, so it goes without saying that we all have a competetive streak in us. And personally, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. Be honest, how many of you can honestly say that you have never once pulled up along side a buddy on another bike, just to see what he could do. Or tried to take the muddiest, deepest, trickiest way through an obsticle, just to show the other guys what your bike could do. Being competetive is a good thing. It's what makes us try harder to acomplish goals.... not to mention being a hell of alot of fun!
