All you experienced mx racers- I would like your opinion.
I know most of you arent exactly Cannondale lovers but hear me out.
I might be able to afford, in the near future, either a down payment for a new quad, or new suspension for the Dale.
Now if I got suspension for the Dale, I might not use all the money and I could use the leftover and have it saved up for when I can make a downpayment on a new quad. Ive been on my Dale for quite a while now, and Im pretty comfortable on it. Way more than any other quad...I really like it to be honest with you. I have great sponsors b/c Im on a Dale... love the people that have been helping me out they have been great to work with. The main thing that has been holding me back on the Dale is suspension. I need it very badly.
Or
I could put all of the money in an account and add on to it for a few more months and then put a nice downpayment on a quad or take out a loan for a already set up quad. Another thing to keep in mind is I dont have much credit history. I have taken out one approximately $7000 loan and already have it paid off. So thats basically the only thing that I have as far as credit. I wouldnt be able to get a co-signer or anything so getting a new quad or getting a loan might be tricky. Also I would not be able to race the new quad until next season, as I am supposed to race on the Dale for the 06 season as long as it is running and so forth. Also I might not have as good of sponsors if I got on another brand of quad... so another thing to keep in mind. I know going production is smart, but I have to keep an open mind as what would probably be the smartest choice for right now.
With all of this information...what would probably be the smartest route?
