You know you're a Honda rider if....

The choke reminded me of a few years back we stopped to talk to a couple of people parked on the side of the trail. He siad that when his ATV got hot and he shut it off he had to wait anywhere from 30-45 minutes before it would start, wasn't sure if it was a battery or the starter.
He was riding a Polaris 500 HO and had owned it for about 2 years. I was sitting on my ATV looking at his rope start and asked him if he could start it with that. He didn't even look down and just stared at me with the deer in the headlight look. He didn't even know it had a pull start.
One pull, that's all.

We'll behave Uncle Freebird.... Hey, is he gone? He's not watching is he?
You know you're a Honda owner when you willingly take abuse from guys with more power, traction, and features for that little bit extra bit of reliability.
That being said, I like Honda's. Just waiting for them to make a 2-up machine, with full 4wd. I'd take a look then.

4 wheels pull much harder then 3,it just comes down to physics.
Honda will have a AWD ATV some day, but there sloooow with changes,the did not have selectable 2wd/4wd until 2003 while others had it in 1996. Honda still has drum rear brakes on the Rancher,Foreman and Rubicon, nobody else has used drum brakes for years I think.

Once again let me show you that lockers are only one piece of the package.
I'm sitting at the top of the hill. I cut the trail through the snow on my 3-wd 10 year old Rubicon.
My frined has a brand new Suzuki 750 King Quad with brand new Maxxis Big Horn tires and he has his locker engaged.
I had to shut my camera off and hike back down the trail and move the log that my 3-wd ATV climbed over and his "locked" ATV could not get over so he could make it up the hill and this was before I got my new STI Black Diamond XTRs.
Yes I know 4 wheels pull better than 3.
Like I said; "You don't need a locker to make it to the top of the hill."
