While not entirely Speed related, interesting post from Todd, and maybe why there hasn't been much updating.

You think they are going to release these a dozen at a time for 6 months? I totally think they will debut with a dozen or 2 and then it will be quiet for a bit.

If they release 12 at a time for 6 months they will be out of business pretty quick.

I get you are car less so that is different.

I’m back to I’ll take it next October lol

I think they will release a small amount and see what happens.. then a second controlled group.. which puts us past season.

Then after that they will start releasing them in batches if I had to guess. That’s all Just a guess

I'm loosing faith in the Speed venture. I'm thinking about the Pro R myself.

I’m not losing faith.. I Just think it’s pushing it out past my timelines for this season.

Who knows though with the economy the way it’s going maybe I’ll just buy a pool table and sit this season out. Lol. The idea of spending 70’ish thousand on a side by side when I have another 50 out there already Just seems 😳

Can you not send PM's on here? I don't see that option haha.

Honestly if it was me and I had a Speed on order I would buy a Pro R right now so I have something to use. You should be able to sell the Pro R pretty easily if you want to whenever the Speed car is delivered. No way I would just be sitting around not riding for who knows how long.

I probably should for theft purposes. Anyone, have an idea what insurance cost on a $13,500 dirt bike?
I pay about 400 every 6 months through State farm for the 2018 KTM 500, that's with all optional coverages applied and really high limits.

I think you need some time before you can PM.

Id agree but I’d say just buy a Turbo R. I like both but with the extra $10-15k commanded for a Pro R you have your fully built Turbo R ready to go. And it is all you really would ever need for Havasu anyway.

I just bought a 23 300xcw in Ca, will register next week in AZ. Replacement cost insurance from USAA/Progressive with top liability limits garaged in Havasu was $139 a year.

why in the F would you go on social media to talk about your court case against your competitor?? Thats just poor business in my eyes. Even if you win, or your right, or your owed.....
The UTV world will find out soon enough, dont brag
I completely agree, I'll never understand the reasoning behind going on SM to announce such a thing, head shaker IMO 😵‍💫

Chris is heading out of town. The deal can’t be completed without his participation anyway.
I’d be interested in learning more about Baja houses etc than speed cars at this point if you want to start another thread.
You must of talk to other realtors about Baja beach front homes good time to get in 3 havasu realtors have homes and buying water front property it’s very affordable today

Well when you think you're the smartest person in the room you're usually not. Maybe so, we'll find out some day, maybe...

Because of spam issues we set it up
Where I believe you need 10 posts before you can pm people.

Which three?

I have always wanted a place in Baja. My biggest problem with it is I’m not in construction and know very little about it.. actually very little would still be over stating the case, I know nothing about it, so I would be at the mercy of using local people for upgrades and fix its..

I suppose it would be a good way to learn though. Lol

What I don’t understand is that if the cost of building the cars has gone up since they did their initial offering and accepted deposits, and they have a lot of orders since that offering at a higher price point, why wouldn’t they gladly offer refunds from those that request it? Seems like a good way to transfer a lower priced sale into more profitable one.

I don't think so.
There's an envelope upper right / right next to your screen name.
I open that and start a new conversation if I have to message someone.
Is there another place/way to send messages

nevermind - looking around and just scrolling over a members name lets you do the same.
15 + years and learn something new still LOL

I thought the economy is just fine and we are returning to normal?

These guys were pretty well off before that..

I’m not sure some of you guys understand the costs and money involved with campaigning a trophy truck.. let alone several “teams”.

They spend more a year then most make in a lifetime

what does a Bryce Menzies year cost? No how much they bring in. Jan 1 to dec 31st on the books cost.
I dont care if its $1000 or $20 million, just curious.

Lets assume a new race truck,. some left over chase trucks. Not starting from scratch. 6 mil?

Well the $6m covers the trucks and spares

Who thinks Robbie will take the $47 mil and run away like they did with the deposits? Will we see the Unicorn Speed UTV in Glamis on New Years?
