I agree about the blind blanket statement. Myself, and others in my area by no means baby our Predators. We also race them, organized. Pretty quick to blame an engineer, when you don't know for sure if it's a material, or maybe even a manufacturing process problem....or maybe just plain abuse of the product. Even $20,000 custom quads break frames. For $6000, you get a lot of bang for the buck, and I have yet to witness Polaris even questioning any warranty claims on this machine. It's easy to sit on the fence and shout at the guy that missed the ball, it's often times harder to be the guy getting the ball.
