You're right; what was I thinking?? It was a river of cold hard water.

I know this has nothing to do with ATVs, I was just feeding the fish here at the resort. LOL

Thanks Tramp, I appreciate you picking up too.

And that's one job I hope comes to an end too.

I went for another ride today and rode a new Kawasaki 750 Brute Force







I did like the power and the engine braking. Throttle response and torque is impressive. I think the transmission, clutch or what ever it is whines way too much, it sounds like a turbo winding up and a big old Cat. There is tons of heat coming off both sides and heated my legs more than I cared. At speed it nose dives a bit too much for me going into corners but I think the shocks were set on the softest setting, and the ignition key is in a stupid place. I did like all the little storage places, one right there for my camera. And I didn't care for the shift gate either. I never needed to lock the front end but I do like the idea that you control how "locked" it is.

Did I mention that all RZRs don't have a clock in the instrument cluster??

Here's a couple of short videos from my ride today. One was riding a trail, one was when I got caught in a hail storm and the last one is what I enjoyed most about the 2010 Kawasaki 2010 Brute Force while riding it out on the Paiute Trails. (well on a county road LOL)

Sorry for the poor sound quality in the last video, all you can hear is the wind.

I like it at Bass Pros Shops when they feed live minnows to the fish in their tanks.

I seldom ride like that (maybe it's because what I ride I CAN'T!! LOL).

My camera didn't like going fast.

I mounted the new dustproof, coldproof, shockproof, waterproof, FujiFilm XP10 on my helmet and had my wife or son aim it to do video of the trails in upper Maine. The wind kept blowing the camera back when I was doing 35-40. And that was using a RAM mount system like the one I use for my GPS and it kept getting pushed back. Videos didn't look great without seeing the trail in the shot. Just trees and sky going by...
