Hey Whipper,

Could you build some guards ,similar to the "stick stoppers" that they sell at the local atv shops? That should protect you against the sticks. This really helped prevent this from 'reoccurring" when I had this happen once on my Polaris sportsman.

* tear running down my cheek * That was beautiful. Simply beautiful

Congratulations Whipper. I know you have got to be excited. I think everyone here is in awe including me. Many many hours finally paid off and I am just glad that you allowed all of us here to join in and share this with you. Again, congratulations and thanks for posting the videos so quickly.

Truly Amazing

I have listened to people talk about the lack of a suspension system on our machines since I owned a new Amphicat. I really did not beleive it was possible. I don,t see how this can fail to change the amphib and ATV world. You are a rare man and should be very proud! W. Philip Cox

That is impressive. To make that happen from vision to test ride with that level of quality is rare.

Your Making me home sick

Whipper you have done a great job of making me home sick, Ahhhh, The desert! I was raised in Phoenix and unless I miss my guess that video was shot on the west side on the road heading to Gila Bend. That aside when can I buy your suspension system for my MAX. You better hurry cuz my son is a production manager (and FAA ceritifed machinist) at Honeywell there in Arizona and I am seriously ready to go there and set up shop with him. Oh the swamps, no the desert, oh the swamps, Now I am home sick. Excellent! Get it on the market!!

Whipper, You are the man! Sorry you broke it, but now you know what the weak point is. I'm sure next time you'll have it beefed up so you can further abuse it and find the next-to-weakest point, and so on. I was very impressed with the way the suspension reacted across the ruts. The clips were worth the wait- I watched them all a couple times and played them for the wife (completely unimpressed- my apologies) and the boys (still in awe).

Can't wait to see the next step.

Like you said that's what R&D is all about! The suspension seemed articulate very well in all of the videos. I'm sure you'll get it dialed in with no problem . Even though you had a failure on the high speed runs I was very impressed with how the machine rode over that ditch!
I'd love to see some pictures of the Heim joint failure if you want to post them.

Congrats Whipper that's the best modification I've seen on these machines!

Whipper, you are an engineering genius!!! This could be the biggest revolution in the 6 wheel AATV industry ever. I believe that your springer has the potential to help 6 wheelers regain the popularity that they once had back in the 70's. Thanks so much for posting up these videos. GREAT WORK!!!

why do I get the feeling that the next video posted on this thread will make all other AATV videos seem like we're riding with training wheels on!!

can you say quantum leap and paradigm shift rolled into one!

Whipper where are you the suspense is killing me!!!!

[George]

Ahhh….the suspense (pun intended) is agonizing!

Well I know whipper will be posting video later. This was taken at 6:00am this morning before the ride. All I can say is, just wait till you see the video! This new suspension system is like buying a big screen TV, you hate to spend the money, but when you do, your glad you did, and realize there is no going back to a conventional size TV ever again.

If you ever imagined one of these AATV's ridding on the moon, I think this is the closest you can get without leaving planet Earth. This thing soaked up deep ruts with no problem. I see many more of these kits in the future, at least on whippers fleet anyway.

Thanks for inviting me whipper.

OK, where is the report? Whipper, Bridget, anybody? I see that you have been on today but we don't have an update yet? The suspense is killing me!

Come on guys. At least let us know if it is in one piece?
