Good for you Cornhole. I thought the Prairie looked ugly as all get out myself. Sure it has a great engine and all, but the design is nasty looking. Imagine if a Volkswagon Bug could handle like a Porshe and run like a Lambo. It would be a good handling fast ugly SOB.

You're the one that ragged on the cheap Grizzly plastic. Why can I not make a comment about the stupid plastic handlebar shroud. How about the flimsy mud flaps that I would have torn off in the rocks. Yes, the ones in front of the rear tire that hang down so low.

I guess if you want a sport quad with 4wd, the Prairie is the way to go. Thats it. It did not fair as well in the Dirtwheels mud shootout in the April issue though. Sorry, but no repeat winner for the 650.

I guess you should have done a bit more talking to your Uncle before he purchased such a lemon. You seem to be a bit sore on the fact that he got a Yamaha. Will he not let you ride it??

Oh it does happen. Normally not unless provoked, but I guess to him I just sounded stupid. I've seen the Cornhole character before and he seems to be associated with bashing posts more often then not. Obviously a younger person (not that this is bad by any means). Dude was whining in the kawi forum cause his uncle didn't buy a Prairie.

Silverbear- Just looked at your pictures. That looks sweet man! I just spotted those brush guards at the dealer a while ago. Had to pick up one of those caps for the end of the bumper. They are all going on with JB Weld this time. I may have to invest in the a-arm guards before long. I like that bear logo on them, and they seem pretty sturdy too.

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Well you made my evening last night. <lol> It was hard keeping my fingers off the keyboard, because I knew you'd see it sooner or later.

Thanks! Ya, I am really happy with those aluminum guards. I measured mine when I got them, and they are .165 thick. So there are other's out there thicker, but these are holding up very well. Besides, you hit the nail on the head, they look a helluva lot nicer then anything else out there with those bear heads etched in 'em.
