If it is in or near Arlington Texas, chances are it is one of Manny's Manny dealerships.

I live on that road at about 9000 feet. In other words I live right smack in the middle of nowhere. The farthest place from anyplace I know of. Thanks for the input.
Well, make sure you take your grocery list when you go

At least when you buy a bike from a Manny dealer they send you the one that you ordered. http://www.lowestpriceatv.com/default.asp That is where I ordered from and they all drop ship from Dallas, TX.

Not always... I was told by 'Manny' I would receive a 'crated item shipped from Roketa'... what I received was a POS Floor Model that's been kicked, broken, scratched, sun faded, and a few pieces missing, that 'Manny' had for who knows how long...

So again... you might get what your ordered... or you might get a 3 year old 'Floor Model' with sun faded, broken, and missing pieces...

The dealers are not all the same and I'm sorry that some of you got a bad deal. I got constant email updates from both the seller and shipping company. I got my Hawk on June 1st.

I have read old stories from people taking trips to China, buying a cheap bike, and touring (back in the day when this was more or less possible) and it seemed the bikes did quite well at high elevations, without any adjustments. In fact, the reason most want to adjust the carb, or change the carb, could possibly be because it is set for high elevations? I remember that theory from one of the stories-these bikes are made for high elevations. Just a thought...

Merlin,

Don at APSCUSA just shipped 4 Hawks to Colorado last week. You might check with him to see if they are close and see if the buyers will let you sit on one and look it over......

The hawks seat height is not the same as a Storm. But good idea to ask him about any Stallions he might have shipped to Colorado as they are the same as a Storm.
