Not sure what this statement is about, I don't believe anyone here doesn't support our country.
I think what he ment was: regardless of reliabilty issues, owning a Cannondale is showing an outward support for our country. That's all.
And if ANYONES sole concern is reliablity then a Cannondale is not the right quad. Period.
A Cannondale was designed as a high performace machine. That's what it still is regardless of current market value.
It's nice to find long term reliability. But that is not what they were engineered for unlike Hondas, Yami or Zukis. These are nice quads, but they were designed for mass sales and reliabilty over performance. That may be changing, but only time will tell.
This is how I understood him.
