It is definitely a Polaris thing. I belong to that forum as well and everyone has the issue. Other than that the thing has been dependable, works hard, and plays hard. Cheryl and I have taken it to trails a few times and we have a blast. Sad thing is, even on a trail it rides smoother and is more comfortable than my Street Glide on the road. The suspension and seat are excellent.

That said, I would look at Can Am a bit harder next time.

More than I should have Tim ... I'm pretty sure I've been contaminated by one of the Precious Little Darlings on the bus :<(

Morning Larry. Sorry you're feeling poorly. Lot of that going around I hear. My son has a bad one.

The true test is if it rides smoothly in Wisconsin Russ. Those billiard smooth roads you all enjoy south of the Mason-Dixon are nothing like what we have up here. It's not even a knock on the Street Glide really. The only bikes that ride smoothly up here have at least 7 inches of travel.

I get grumpy if I spill my drink while riding the lawnmower so I don’t know how you can stand it.
