xlent. Now who will be the next whipping boy??? Dusty I will be interested in what you think of your new 800 EFI once you have riden it for a while, and the major differances from your honda.

[Ken]

Whippin' boy....

It's been a thought I've been pondering....


Life is all about the Food Chain...and in our world...Honda's are the mice. Unfortunately, we have no Hondas.

We may be reduced to teasing Larry for his BEAR PAW tires. They may say CLAW...but they act like Paw.

Of course....Larry tried to turn it on my tonight and say who put their quad on it's side....but my answer was...TRACTION did it.

Just got back...I'll post....great weekend...but depressing....more later.

new whipping boy. . . well we can alwyas find something or someone I am sure. . . New red quad is awesome. . . have the entire front end off right now though mounting my winch and learning what it should look like when in prefect condition just in case I mess anything up I know where it goes and how it should look. . .

[Ken]

Good luck.

[Thrasher]

Holy CRAP! congrats!

you finally saw the light!

[Ken]

Holy CRAP!

That's what Larry and Jack said...

[MrPolaris]

Last night I had to move a shed from one side of my yard to the other and used the quad to move it. . . it was pretty sweet. . .took some videos of me doing it so will have to send that when I get a chance to make a new video. . .

[Ken]

When he sees the light....he really does see the light...

Who is buying that yellow SP500?

I had a Rincon too... sold it because it was (IMO) incapable in heavily technical stuff due to no locker and no low range gear. It handled very, very well, but was slow as a pig too. My Grizzly 660 would eat it for lunch.

My new SP800EFI absolutely rocks. Heck it even outdoes my Grizzly in the rocks, which is something I wasn't sure would happen. The thing is unreal, and gets the same or better mileage as the Grizz.

Rob,
what rims do you have on your 800 EFI. I have those pretty looking aluminum with the fake bead locker. . . how torn up are they going to get on the rocks of the rubicon?

[RobG]

Mine are the black steel ones since the Camo model doesn't get the fancy aluminum ones (which I've heard are actually heavier than the steelies).

I would imagine your wheels are gonna get thoroughly scarred on the rocks. I've already scarred up both RH wheels on mine (plus the fender edges) from playing on the rocks up at Moonrocks last week.

[Ken]

I think it's one of those inevitable things on the rocks. The decision really is....slowly destroy the rims or use the cheap steelies and keep the nice ones for later resale.

[MrPolaris]

I am agreeing with Ken. . . I am going to see if I can track down a cheap set of rims to put on there. . . anyone kow of ones i can get for next to nothing. I do not have the need at this time to buy new tires, so cannot go that route. . .
