You guys kill me. Cannondale should have done this, Cannondale should have done that.

If you know so much STEP UP, get several million dollars and fix what you know is wrong. Use all of your Marketing ideas, design capabilities, and money to change the quad world.

Some of you bought other quads that have problems but you don't get the support from the manufacturer. Cannondale did STEP UP, they made what you called for and when it was avalible you didn't responed.

As far as releasing a product that isn't perfect - Give me a break - Name ONE product that is perfect, you have to start selling at some point to have CASH coming in to continue.
To expensive, most of the people that have quads financed them so $20 a month is a non-issue.
The noise, you can't hear it when your riding.
Un-reliable - do the work that is necassary to maintain any quad, and get the updates as they come out.

There are thousands on Cannondales out there that you don't hear that anything has gone wrong with them. Mine has had it's share of problems as some of you know, but I'm not trashing them. WHY? Because they did what the other won't. Chapter 11 is a restructure of the debt. They are talking to new buyers that will continue to fix some of the issues. It wasn't sales alone, the stock market lost alot of money for alot of companies, that was the issue.

Please don't concern yourselfs with our Museum Pieces.

I don't think chapter 11 bankruptcy means closing down, they are just put on payment plan while they try to keep their heads above water. The quads do sound like deisel trucks!
