yesterday my neighbor called & was full of questiones about a warrior. I tried to answer his questions without downing the bike. 30 minutes later he rides into my yard on a 2000 warrior.
seems as if he was calling from a local used bike shop. he was about ready to buy the warrior when he called me. we had to go out for a little trail ride immediately.
he seems pleased with it.........I tried to sell him my wife's 300ex, but for some reason he just had to have a warrior. Oh well..........I am happy to have another person to ride with, no matter what he is riding!

He should be happy with it untill you let him ride your 400:D

It really is not a bad machine but just has some limitations in the suspension and its ability rev quickly.

I have one as a second / spare and it is still a lot of fun on the trails and can handle most trails with no problem. It can be a little interesting when airborne as the front is a little heavy.

They are good at hill climbs with the heavy front end though.

Hope that he likes it

handy dandy storage compartment........ :)
4" PVC SCH40 pipe with 2 screw on caps. its the exact same pipe that carrys the poop away from your house......except I painted it red.
Its white when purchased new.

i wonder if u could put a craper on your fourwheeler, u know, for those really long rides, u would have to be kind though and stay in the back so no one else is down wind...

....zip close insulated type soft sided cooler with a handle i pit under there.....the handle wraps around the old suport's for the fender's.(shaved fender's)...i put it on last summer and havn't taken it off yet and it hasn't come loose either...it's blue and kinda reflective so it looks good too.and easy to unzuip where it sits' keeps up to 3 can drinks(or beer) cold on ice...all day...freind has one too...i use it as a glove compartment mainly though..one of those large gartor-aid bottles fit's right in the front of your frame upside down by the streing stem perfectly....it's amazing how well a gator-aid bottle fit's in there and it doen't matter if it get's hot...taste the same...anyone else put em' down there.?

its held on with 3 very heavy duty zip ties...........and by the way, no need to glue it. that stuff fits together tightly enough without glue & primer :)

4punks , said you tried to sell wife's 300ex. Does this mean she will be getting a new machine or are you retiring her from riding and just keeping her barefoot and pregnet?

LOL.........she just doesn't ride enough to justify a quad taking up space in my garage. I got enough junk in my way. here is a pic from last night before I closed the door. seems as if I have another 400ex in storage.
