I had that much snow on thursday and im only a couple hundred miles from you joe and hes all the way in alaska. I wish i could aford one of those but then id be an ex ex rider

[AlaskaSpeed]

Ex Ex-Rider...pretty good....: ) This is not normal to have this much snow right now......we had a big dumping a few weeks ago...about 3 feet in 1 day. As long as my igloo doesn't melt, I am happy.........JIM

What size tires are on the front and back? The fronts look smaller. i would think that would effect handling negativley.

[AlaskaSpeed]

Do the speeds have aloooot of power all the way from 1st to 5th gear

[AlaskaSpeed]

My Cannondale Speed has a lot more power than I thought it would. I can also dispell the rumor that it has weak bottom end, I find it comparable to a 400EX's bottom end; with a 250R's mid and top end! I can tell you now that it is a top quality machine, built very well; I just looked at it for about an hour when I brought it home. The maintenance is probably similar to what you would have to do on any high performance machine, but I would say that preventative maintenance is key to keeping problems to a minimum. Hope this answers your question.............JIM

nice quad jim... i really like the c-dales they are one of my favorite quads... i still say if u combine the red canibal plastic with the yeller on the speed it would look awesome!!!!

[Sleeping Catfish]

[Sparkles]

nice bike

[freakystone]

Any truth to the claims that it loses power in the low to mid range while climbing?

[400exRacerX]

Jim,,,what happened to the 400?

[AlaskaSpeed]

I sold my 400EX before I went on my Glamis trip. I didn't want to, but I got a good price; plus sold a lot of aftermarket stuff on EBAY.....JIM
