Wrist fatigue is not a problem. You shouldn't have to horse the scooter around and I can drive my Gavin with my index finger and thumb with my hand just laying on top of the handle.

WKPP divers dive these things a lot longer than 2hrs, if wrist fatigue were a factor they would have designed a better handle.

DSAO!

I noticed you didn't mention anything about the components.

T:wacko:

I'd rather be called a farm animal then have a scooter I have to repair here and there. Just because its DIR or is used by the WKKK doesnt mean its a better product. The only reason why its used by the WKKK is because George wont let anyone use anything else. Its an easy way to keep selling Gavins.

The WKKK is the little known, but much feared "deep south" branch of the WKPP.

Most of them are proudly known as RND (red neck divers) instead of DIR (doing it right) divers and they prefer to dive in white bedsheets rather than the DUI TLS 350.

I would tell you a bit more about them, but I think it would probably end up moderated anyway, so I'll spare them the trouble and not post it. :D

What are you talking about?? Are you trying to put words in my mouth?

I'll put my Gavin up against any SS any day and yes I've dove and seen inside both!

They are both good machines I just think the handle on the SS is a bad idea and there is nothing at all wrong with the handle on the Gavin!

Most people I know don't just own Gavins because someone tells them they have to (no one told me that!). They own them because they are the best machine made for the job... period!

How correct you are. It should be your choice from the research you've done which includes riding both and taking both of them apart to see which one is better built.

Agree there... that's exactly what I did.

Some arguements just arnt worth getting into Rob.........

I know, I know... It just irritates me when someone pulls out the "you did it because you were told to" crap.

I'll try to keep my mouth shut now :rolleyes: :nospeak:
