My favorite when someone see you with the D&M kit out.

"what is that a space ship?"

"It has fuel injection?"

"That can't work very good because it takes me forever to jet my quad and yours only took a couple minutes."

"Does that thing really make any changes to the quad?"

Then the guy from Lorretta Lynns who saw me before the race in my Cannondaleriders shirt.

"You own a Cannondale is that site still up. (Laughs)"

Saw him after I flipped the quad and was still riding with the bent stem. He was broken down on his Yammy and smoking like a *****. I laughed pretty **** hard at that one!

I still like it when people come up and ask what is that?

Tony (Swamp'Dale) and I were working on his quad with the laptop out next to our buddy, who I should mention is a very good rider, and he was amazed it took a computer to work on it. He was asking if Tony carried it in a backpack around the course ohmy.gif

All things were silent, however, when we got it tuned in, pushed it back and he ripped some grass for a minute or 2. He still said he would rather have his simple stock 400ex :confused: but it had gained a little respect at least.

the most common:
have you checked the oil in it lateley? sounds a little loud,

what kind is that?

is it faster than a raptor?

how many carbs does it have?

whats a "speed'?

good luck getting parts (laugh )

that edsel still running? (brother in law before motor problems)

get the edsel running yet? (brother in law after motor problems)

da** that thing is noisy

if its fuel injected, do you change the injectors like jets?

Most people around me must be holding their stupid remarks/questions.

The thing I hear the most is:

"I've never seen one of those before!"

My neighbor always asks me when I put the diesel in it.

Another guy said it sounded like a sowing machine.

One guy, a bike rider, has a friend with a bike. He said they call it the CannonSnail.

I got the remark under my avatar from a guy in Atlanta that asked me what kind of quad I was riding.

"I love that quad"
"I want one of those"
"That is so cool"
"Since you guys (Nic G & me) just placed first and second maybe Cannondale will get the boost they need"

Thats exactly what the dude at McDonald's said when I told him it was a cannondale.
