well, this one is easy. Do you want the strongest, best riding, most suspencion, 4 wheel independant suspencion, and the coolest display on the market??? If so, then you want a 2002 grizzly!!! I would love to see the honda owners try to keep up with me in the deep ruts. The independant suspencion just loves to soak up the ruts.

Mich660griz,

Sounds like you like your grizz too. <g> I have to say, they are an awesome quad to ride. I'm closing the office tommorrow at noon, and loading up all the quads for a thanksgiving ride fest.

Isn't it too cold to be riding up north this time of year?

 

Mitchdb,

Too Cold? <BWSEG> Never! We have our cold weather gear, Hot grips, -100F Tundra Boots, and a hot thermos of hot buttered rums and coffee. Actually, ATV'ing in the winter is almost more fun than the summer. You are limited to where you can go in the winter, compared to summer, but you can still go plenty of places, and it's a kick in the pants. I can't wait to get these dunlops off the Grizz and put the Bi/Tri Claws on it. They ought to make great winter tires too. The forecast by Friday up here is Snow, snow, snow--can't wait!

Have A Great Thanksgiving!

If it ever snowed down here, I'd never leave the house. I'm not much for cold weather, it got down in the 50's last night and that was too cold! All though riding in snow does sound like a lot of fun, if it just wasn't so dang cold!

Mitch,

I understand,

My father is from Texas, and my brother was stationed at Food Hood when he did his stint in the military. To hear them tell it, I don't know how you guys handle the heat and more importantly, the humidity. The winter ATVing isn't fun if you get cold, but as long as you stay bunddled up, it is a blast. That's actually what got me started on quads, a brother in law got a 4 wheel drive quad for Christmas one year, I took a ride on it and was sold.

Cold??? Half the fun of a utility quad is the snow! The saying with me and my friends is, if it comes, we will go!I use mine for plowing in the winter, as well as racing aroung on the lakes in michigan, trying like all get out to keep up with the sleds, lol. Keep the cloths tight, the coffee hot, and the fires burning in the cabin, and you can have a ball. Come spring, i do look foward to the summer weather though. All the snow can get to ya after a while, lol.

 

I have to admit the snow riding does sound fun, I'll have to try it out sometime but that'll have to be a road trip.

The humidity is pretty bad down here. My wife and I go to Arizona every Summer, they have beautiful weather out there. Phoenix has more days of sunshine than any other city in North America.

 

Just got back from the Thanksgiving ATV trip, and it was a blast. We went up Hoo Doo Mountain, and had about 8 inches of snow. Half way up ran into some of the biggest cougar tracks we've ever seen up here. I have to admit, the 660 Grizz keeps on impressing me. My first snow foray and I never put it in 4 wheel drive, while som others were. Mitchdb--have you decided on a quad yet?

SilverBear, I love the Grizzly. I met a guy this weekend on a 2002 Camo Griz and it was bad. He pulled my friend out of a creek (real creek with no paddle) Saturday. The 300 EX got stuck and the Griz just winched him on in, it was cool.

I have too much fun on my Raptor, I haven't had a problem going anywhere on it yet, besides just really deep water that I didn't want to go through because my air cleaner lid was off. When I first started this, I was looking for a quad for my wife and I figured a utility quad would be the safest for her. But come to find out she would rather have something stupid like bedroom furniture! I didn't mind spending the money on a very cool quad but bedroom furniture, I'll never figure her out!
