Hi All, I'm going to do my best to stay on topic here because there are so many aspects to what I would like to say that it would take pages. Here goes.
I have gotten on many threads here and watched them deteriate to bickering and trash talking - losing the whole point of the thread in the process. Dealers and members both being guilty. Class, tolerance and good business practices should be the order of the day.
Dealers - Expound on the virtues (do not lie) of your products rather than bending over backwards to trash the products of your competitors. If you have issues with each other - take it to the ring or PM each other so it doesn't clog the thread. We can watch THE RING if we want (and many will). Have enough class and wisdom to realize that this is the proper way to conduct business.
Members - We all have different wants and opinions. Some members have trashed these buggies for not being able to perform at the level of a product that costs 4-10 times as much. Let's get real guys. At this price level you are not going to get Ridge Runner, Drakart, or even Pilot performance. I think for twice the price they will eventually get close to Pilot performance. That would be great. We had a member make a negative post a couple of weeks ago. He listed a bunch of stuff that he broke on his first day out that reeked of someone that tried to do things that these buggies aren't capable of doing. He wants Pilot performance for $2000.00 and thinks these things are junk because he didn't get it. We also picked up a new member last week that seems to enjoy talking trash about every make of buggy other than his. He needs to look at TalonGuy. TalonGuy obviously loves his buggy, but he just tells us that instead of trashing EVERY other make. That is great. The internet, unfortunately, is a great place for people with big mouth's to run them. Cowardly in my opinion. I'm from the James Lee school - put up or shut up. Better yet, just shut up.
There is a lot of great information being exchanged here guys. let's not F*&% it up.
Steve is spending a tremendous amount of his own time to keep this forum going. He is trying to be very liberal in what he allows. Let's not test his patience. We will all lose.

I am on board with that. I am all for keeping the good vibes going here. I actually was worried about my '150cc love post' in the Boxing Ring. I just was having some fun and hoped everybody understood that. Buggy On !!
250cc Guys are O.K. with me too!
