Dunk Dude and the Red
Polaris!
| Dunk Dude and Penny
were over the moon when Dunk received a call from POLARIS Britain's
Michael McDowell inviting them to come and try out the 1st MSX140 to enter
the country.
"Where?...When?...Oh, we'll be
there!...I'll call you back!"
The Dude had to quickly find someone to cover
for him at work just two days before Christmas and as a result now owes
the lads a breakfast, thanks dudes! (Penny would have gone without
him!)

Testing time for the MSX140 |
|
|
Is this a happy Dunk Dude, or
what!
Is it Christmas? Oh, yes!
|
|
After doing nothing else but go on about the
MSX since its launch in August, Dunk Dude's work mates may regret covering
for him as now he's definitely never going to shut up!
"We were looking to replace Blue earlier
this year but nothing on the market at the time really appealed",
said Dunk.
As soon as information on the MSX range
appeared, that was it! The Dude phoned Michael to register his
interest and to glean more details while Penny again got the final say and
this time she said, "Red!"

Dunk Dude's initial impressions
 | I'M IMPRESSED! |
| The MSX140 handles superbly, it turns
sharply and stays hooked up, the response is fantastic. |
| The handlebars are more 'upright' than on
Blue and this makes for a 'comfortably aggressive' riding position. |
| The seat is comfortable, essential for the
amount of cruising we intend to do. |
| Lots of storage space. The 'glove
box' is huge, plenty of room for phone, GPS, emergency kit and
probably lunch too! |
| The tow hook is high up, canna wait to try
the wakeboard out! |
| Little things, attention to detail, the
display is easy to read, the front eyelet protrudes making anchoring
up and retrieval easier (on Blue its recessed). |
| It looks even better in real life! |
| I'M REALLY IMPRESSED! |

Penny's beaming face says quite simply,
"Good-bye, Blue!"
She was concerned about the finger throttle
option, as she has tried other PWCs with this set up and found the stretch
too much for her wee hands but says its fine on the MSX!
|

|
|
After being deposited in the middle of the
lake, by an over exuberant Dunk, Penny had the opportunity to practice a
deep water re-mount.
The grab handle on the MSX is much higher than
on Blue so she has demanded Dunk Dude buys the 'boarding step' add-on to
make her (and Dunk's!) life easier.

| Michael from Polaris
says, "So, do you like the MSX140?"
"Oh, yes!" came the joint reply.
...but he wouldn't let Dunk and Pen take it
home with them. Roll on Springtime! |
|
|
|
| Dunk & Pen say,
"Thanks,
Michael! See you at the London Boatshow, ours is the RED
ONE!" |
