There was alot of things she didn't like about it.

She said it was not as comfortable, the power steering felt intrusive at higher speeds, with the lesser wait she felt it bounced her around too much and she didn't care for the color choices as well except for the black/tribal L.E.

With the Sportsman she was able to keep all her accesories and not need to rebuy those, also with the grizz she would have needed to buy aftermarket tires right away. In the end the grizz would have ended up costing her over $2K more.

That was the floor price of the stock machine. The L.E. Grizzly was $7995. Both of these numbers were negotiated before any trades were discussed.

Hahaha

At least now he knows how to fix it. Probably very quickly the next time. It took, what....20 minutes after he got home to have it all taken apart. smile

All jokes aside, I have actually been considering some additional schooling to be an atv/powersports mechanic if only in my spare time....... Specializing in Polaris LOL. Atleast it would be steady work even in a slow economy grin

That was one of the things I liked about her getting the same machine, they are both identical to work on if/when needed.

Now that right there is funny! Got a laugh out of me anyhow! laugh
An atv mechanic will have a good future, IMO. There are alot of ATV's out there, and they get more popular everyday.
