I've just been too busy prepping our Moto for the up and coming GNC's. We'll be pounding the competition! Look for #815 in the 4 stroke A and the 4 stroke Pro Am! :-)

Lets face it, in comparison to the other brands there are not really alot of us out there. I love Cannondale and will never sell mine no matter what. If something breaks, I'll find a way to fix it. Right now is the calm before the storm. I'm dying like everybody else to find out what's going to happen. And when it does and it turns out to be really good, we're all be back runnin' our mouths and our bikes again. Have hope. This bike rocks, let's just wait and see who picks it up.

The problem is there are too many cannondale forums now, this one is getting left behind. More good info seems to be posted on cannondaleriders.com, being able to attach photo's there really adds to it's appeal.
I'm also afraid to ride my C'dale hard now, afraid of breaking something and not being able to repair it!! I need to insure it and drive it over a cliff and move on unless this auction reveals someone very interested in investing alot of $$ into this dying product! I was one of the first to buy a C'dale, the old FX400 and I'm very disappointed in what has transpired with this company, I'm keeping my figures crossed something positive will come out of this in the end!

I haven't replied cause most of my questions are answered before I ask them and I have nothing good to say either. Damn A.D.D.

I just can't afford quad racing anymore. I feel like I've gotten to the point where my stock suspension is holding me back and there is no way I can afford a-arms, shocks, and a axle, so I'm just gonna switch to bikes. They're much cheaper to race.
It's nothing against Cannondale, I still feel that there's nothing made right now that can compete with it. Infact, if I owned any other quad, I would have come to this decision much sooner.
I just don't post here much anymore because I've been posting on thumpertalk cause there's a lot of help there when it comes to the YZ 250F. I also have 3 e-mail accounts and 5 different forums that I check out. So I don't post as much as I used to. I just check to see if there's anything that catches my eye and if not, I go to the next one.

MxMike - I'm practicing on a YZ 125 right now, and it's hard. I don't think it'll take me to long to get the hang of cornering a bike, but the 2-stroke powerband on this 125 is kickin my ass. I got some AWESOME body positioning tips for cornering on a bike (lean forward, weight on the outside peg, which ever way you are turning that arm should be fairly straight, lean to the outside of the seat), and it's really helped a lot. All I have behind my house is VERY loose sand, so if I can get pretty good out here, I should do pretty good on the track since it's easier to corner on a track than it is in sand. It's crazy cause cornering a bike is almost completely opposite of cornering a quad. The main thing that is giving me problems is the 2-stroke powerband, and staying w/ one line in a corner. I REALLY can't wait to get a 250F, and I might already have my quad sold. I'll find out for sure on Monday.
Well, I suppose I should go back out there and practice some more. My hand is getting sore from using that clutch... it's not as smooth and easy to pull in as my C-dale clutch. I need one of those squeeze things that make your hands stronger.

For a while we were getting more post from non c-dale riders than us so why do I want to talk to some one that just want to put our bikes down.

mxdale,I was looking forward to 4-wheeling with you man.Sorry to hear it.I have been through what you are going through and had to do the 2 wheel thing.I bought a kx250.WAYYYYYYYYYYY to much for me!!!!!...... I road for about a year on it and got pretty good with it.I got alot more confident in getting big air on the bike than before when I was on my stock 400ex.I feel the bike is what taught me to jump.My problem was the corners.I was eather railing them or washing out no inbetween.The power was way to strong for me.I road a yzf250 yesterday on the track and I got to say thats one smoth mofo.I beleve I could adapt to that real quick.
YOU WILL BE BACK.............ITS IN THE BLOOD!!!!!!!!

ere still here,
Going to glamis this weekend to try out my southbay 450 motor. Waiting also!
Posted by: oldsandman
onetouch, don't get so down....I think most people are waiting to see what happens. Try the Cannondaler site you will learn a lot more there and not get all the "sell it now" or "I feel sorry for you guys" stuff. Just more information and support for your ride. Hang in there and best of luck to you.

Guys:
Are we going to really let us die? We aren't posting anymore, we are doing nothing to encourage ourselves. Are this fight finished? we are going that a bunch of PREHISTORIC ATVS win the battle?
I'm just writing this because we really need to look high and forward and post more. Also we have to show people what C-Dale really is: THE BEST OF THE BEST. We have to go to the circuits, mx, gncc and stuff like that and do the most of us.
I'm doing the little part that I can here on my country, I'm beating everything that crosses my way, recently I won a race in witch I kicked SOME PREDATOR @$$ (also more stuff, but this is my toughter competition). I finished one lap before all the competetors.
I'm really proud of MY C-DALE!!!
