Tom mentioned the Ace being 1/2 the size of regular rzr. It's actually only 2" narrower than the rzr 570 or 800. Weighs about 130 lbs less. That's why it's supposedly very stable. Weight with driver is in center of machine and width is about same as reg rzr. Better Center of gravity then the rzr 570 or 800.

I think I'm going to do it. Dad said he would help me out with the extra money so I'll just be making my same payment but to him not the damn finance company. I will get the extended warranty since it is a PoPo and being new to the market. Naw, I ain't gonna win no races but I think it'll fun on the trails.

Well since no else has anything to say I'll chime in. The GM at Ride Now emailed me and my Ace has come in and will be ready for pick-up Saturday. I fell a Hill Top ride coming soon.

Congrats Lonnie! I really wanna see that Ace! If you decide to take it to Hilltop 3/22 let me know. I might be able to do a day ride. The Brimstone trip is the end of that week so I gotta be careful asking the wife.

Lonnie you need to ask Ride Now if they will mount your pit bull growlers on the ace and just put the stickers on the traded can am. It's a shame for those great tires to go.
Take some pics when you pick up the Ace. There will be a line of TTB members wanting to drive it. You might need to set a rate to test drive.

I'll get me some new tires but for now the stockers will do. The "Pit Bulls" are a little to big for the Ace. I'd be cover in mudd with'in a 100 yards. I'll have to think on some price rates for test drives. Might could pay it off in a couple of weeks. Really got to thank my dad cause if it was not for his help it never would have happened. There is an Ace forum I've been following for a couple of weeks and so far all the folks out there love the machine. They say it performs just like in the video's.

I'll let ya know when I'm going back up. I was thinking next weekend but got to check and see if they put me back on call again. I'm only suppose to be on call once every 3 months or so but they redid the schedule and its only been like 3 weeks since I was on. I gotta find me something else to do. I'm tired of being jerked around.

And the only way to not get jerked around at work is own the place. Even then customers can jerk around the owner if he wants the business.

Spent most of yesterday afternoon just buzzing around the back 40 on the Ace. Going from handle bars to a steering wheel and from a thumb throttle to a pedal is really different, didn't take long to adjust though. Yeah, this thing is going to be fun to ride for sure. The way it puts the power to the ground is really impressive, she just goes. There is no body sway when you go into a curve hard, it's just sticks with no sway at all. Gotta a couple of hills around here so you know I had to see what it felt like, no wheel spin it just climbs, I went on some of the old trails I had around here to test the suspension, not bad, steering is very stable and the machine seems to stay fairly smooth. All in all I am going to have a lot of fun with it. I did order the rear cargo box and the trail bag that goes behind the seat. There are several other things I want but I'll get them a little at a time. More ride reports coming in the future.

Sometimes I wonder if the 900 Xp makes too much power. It destroys the fields around my house when I just play with it. Way too much wheel spin. I bet the Ace does much better on controlling spin. I can't ride my XP around the house since I get fussed at for taking chunks out if the yard.
