hmm, I drug the big ones not the Scout. Didn't notice it grounded earlier. Yeah, its not a twisty machine. But long sweepers and straight lines I liked it a lot. I don't think they are engineered to be canyon carvers.
I would compare its power to the Thunderbird but with a lot less displacement.
Here is a Victory Octane with the same problem.
I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.
