Right now, everything is still up in the air. Dinli is talking out their arse right now, just like Rad2Go was last year. It's my understanding that our good friends, the winged horse people, want ATK to get everything, and keep on the American tradition. But, that might just be spectualtion. Time will tell. ATK will have a quad out within a year I'm predicting. I think it will be sittin in my garage either way!

MY DINLI REP JUST CALLED AND TOLD ME THAT DINLI BOUGHT ALL OF THE MOLDS AND FIXTURES FROM CANNONDALE AND THE RIGHTS TO BUILD THE QUADS AND BIKES. HE ALSO SAID THAT THEY DID NOT BUY THE RIGHT TO THE NAME. HE TOLD ME THAT THE FIXTURES AND MOLDS AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY BOUGHT ARE ON THERE WAY TO TIAWAN. HE SAID THAT THEY ARE BUILDING A NEW FACILITY TO PRODUCE THE BIKES AND QUADS IN. I WONDER WHAT ATK'S PLANS ARE. WHEN I CALLD THERE LAST WEEK THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE PLANNING ON BUILDING THEM ALSO. IF I HEAR ANYTHING ELSE I WILL LET ALL OF YOU KNOW.

That's impossible. Nothing but ATK semi's left the factory. You sure they don't mean the little 1/18 scale die-casts?!
Seriously, only ATK has taken anything out of the factory to the best of my knowledge.

I NOTICED NOBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT THIS. WHAT DOES EVERYBODY THINK ABOUT DINLI BUYING THE RIGHTS TO BUILD CANNONDALE ATV'S AND MOTORCYCLES?
