I'd keep it too, I like older stuff.


Thsi picture was taken quite a few years ago.
These are my two youngest daughters now 24 & 26.

That's my wifes mother's 1983 Suzuki 125, the first 4-wheeled ATV.
When this picture was taken it had just over 3000 miles onit and
probably doesn't have many more than that today.

They also have a Honda Fat Cat with under 900 miles on it.

True, I do know I will like it. As I have said before, when I went to the dealership I went thinking I was going to buy a Rubicon. I saw the Rincon and asked if I could give it a go.

The rest is history!! I think its a great machine. It's very fun to ride. I have a hard time staying off the throttle.

It still has the Honda stability I was looking for, but also won't bounce you around the seat when riding at higher speeds. It will do the work I need it to do just fine. For my style of riding hunting/trail, it works great. The biggest load it will ever see is a big whitetail during bow season[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Specta, Love the pictures. Maybe next year we will go west for vacation. The riding out there looks amazing. Showed my wife the pictures last night. She instantly asked were it was and how long of drive it would be!!

It would be hard to pick just one area to ride here in Utah.

The San Rafael Swell is incredible, it's like a mini Grand Canyon.

The Paiute ATV Trail has over 1200 miles of mapped trails and an estimated 1000 miles not yet mapped. It goes through three National Forests. Riding 100+ miles a day is easy.

Most of the trails you ride gradded gravel roads to get there but that beats hauling your ATV any day.
These pics are from the Paiute ATV Trail in July 2008.


We traveled about 15 miles on this road and stopped to have a snack here.


This is the entrance to one of the trails, Anderson Dairy Trail.
It is limited to 50" wide, straddled ATVs.












Lunch.

That day we traveld about 85 miles. One of our favorite trails.

Since we got into posting riding areas, Oregon has some cool riding places, too. This winter I also got to ride around Yuma AZ, and there's neat stuff there, too.

This is by the Tillamook riding area in the coast mtn range.

Specta,

If we end up making a trip west next year, I am going to count on you to point me in the right direction. the trails you ride look amazing.

Jeffin,

There is a possible job opening in Eugene, Or that I have keeping my open for. Just waiting to see if they are going to post it. It would give me an opportunity to get out of this city. I played golf along the Oregon coast and Eugene last fall and fell in love with the area. Will keep my fingers crossed.

Back to the topic, any Honda is better than most other ATV's. Simply the truth.

JeffinTD, I'd love to ride in Oregon too. Great pictures.

Turfguy, look me up, I'll do anything I can to make your vacation a great getaway.

I don't want to get mushy or anything like that but I do love my Honda.


It's even been know to take a beating.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I hope the moderators don't mind.

If you have some riding or camping pics you want to post feel free; I'd love to see them.

I have never posted pics, so I really can't help you. Hope I can figure it out.

Specta, will try and post some tonight when I get home. I have some pics of riding in Canada with my old Arctic Cat.
