I am a 42-year-old guy in a wheelchair because I was paralyzed from the waist down in a motorcycle accident back in 1982. The Trailblazer is the first ATV I have ever owned. I went riding yesterday for the first time in my life and I loved it. I was riding with two Suzuki Vinson 500 4X4's. I went through everything they did with no problem. I even went through some pretty deep mud puddles. I got to race the Vinsons a couple of times and it was pretty even with both of them. I was quite impressed with the mid range and top of my ride considering the displacement difference. I figure next year for around 400 dollars I will hop up my trailblazer and be smoking my buddies. All in all, I could not have made a better choice for the price. I did notice that my ATV smoked quite a bit for the first hour or so, then pretty much stopped. I also thought that it seemed to be getting faster as the day wore on. Mine was low on oil from delivery so I added a quart of synthetic Polaris race oil. It was overpriced but I like using good stuff. I was also using 93-octane gas. I love the single lever brake system and the suspension.
Upgrades/Accessories: Future plans include a DG bumper,Polaris skid plate and shock guards. I will wait until next spring when the warranty is up and I will be going with the Rick Ritter Racing stage one kit.
