The subject has come up a few times. First and foremost, don't let other people influence what you want. What do "they" know?

I was the first sold to an Alaska customer back in 08. The magazines and ratings were full of misinformation. Clearly written by those who did not have a clue.

My local reaction for the first couple years, (in 09 I bought another for the spouse), we had customized twin 's. Wherever we went, a group would form around us asking questions, and usually making wow type of comments. It felt good to be a rock star.

Now, we don't get as many groupies as before, but they are still out there. The product seems to have a bit more credibility than before. I have only received two bad comments in all the years. One was how it looked like a snowmobile on wheels--well...it did.

Enjoy your regardless of what "they" say.
