My neighbor has 40 grand into his and probably 25 or so into his old ladies.
It is pretty bad ass, but yeah. The amount of aftermarket hop ups are endless too.

Can't sell much shit to a dirt bike guy.

Funny how all those years of greed finally catch up.

I saw a fairgrounds race this year in rural Northern California that had a couple of them on an oval track, racing simultaneously with traditional quads. I was scared shitless, and was not even anywhere near the track.

And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly aging
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
Cause the times they are a-changing

How long until Amazon can get parts to people the same day?
Not long. We are providing parts for Amazon to stock and ship from their facilities. We send the part to Amazon and they handle everything else, even the post sale support. The cost to do it this way on certain products isn't that bad and it's very low risk, as opposed to fulfilling orders yourself. I see a lot of retailers going that way... We only do this on a few items, but it is going well.

That’s what I thought. I just signed up last week for them to handle my product. Free shipping is gonna continue to hurt retailers.
The funny thing about the free shipping they offer....they will upsell sell the free shipping if you want it faster. Most people pay the extra and don’t even blink, they are just happy free shipping was offered

I find the comments really interesting in regard to greed, placing money over passion, and the wall street mentality. Then people tout some economic agenda for the country that exacerbates these very problems. We are doomed.

I'm over $40K into mine too, but it's worth the good times I have driving it. 5% of the people that get in it with me, take a second ride. The other 95% will never get back in a RZR. lol

I hate those things, can’t jump off when stuff starts going wrong.

You know, back to your same day question, Amazon is able to do 2 hr deliveries in some places now. Albeit, selected big cities, but even faster than same day is coming at some point to larger portions.

Retail will be one of those things our kids, tell their kids about, “Back in my day, we used to go to the store......”

You know retail will survive if it changes! Blockbuster Video didn’t change so it disappeared fast.

Retail will have to become a destination instead of just a merchandise outlet. You can now have “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and there sales in store have gone up.

A motorcycle shop may have to become half “Beer, Wings, with Football and Racing big screens” or add a Harbor Frieght or add a Victoria Secrets.....but for sure if they don’t change the individual stores will disappear.

The Outlet Mall concept seems to still be booming as well. It’s a destination that has everything.
