Ok, I'll pipe in here again, and this is not an attack on Mickey, but just my observations of about 14 years of being on the net on ATV sites, and chat rooms. Mickey does put out generally a decent product, but I have heard many many reports over the years of failures, and extremely poor customer service.

I have heard some real horror stories over the years How Mickey has been downright offensive and insulting to his customers and refused to stand by his work. If it was just one or two instances I could understand that, but I have heard of many myself directly from the people involved and have read about numerous others.

The way I see it, after 14+ years of reading about him, is he is very good at marketing, by getting products to magazine editors who get the stuff free. They write about his stuff in the magazines, and sells a lot of product to a lot of the people reading those magazines. The Problem comes in when you have problems. He is not so good about standing behind his product and providing good service to his customers. I had not read about him on Kawie riders before snickers brought it up in this thread, but reading it did not surprise me at all, I have seen it repeated time and time again in various ATV forums, and discussed ad nauseum in chat rooms over the years.

Based on what I have heard, I would not take my chances with his products, They might be OK, they might be great. The problem is I don't know that he would stand behind his products, and I am not willing to risk my hard earned money on that chance. If he gave me a free motor for my Teryx I might consider it, since I would not be risking my own money
