As you guys know my ATV is apart waiting for its motor. Mark asked if we were still on for riding on saturday. I said sure!! He loaded up his Kawasaki 850 and his wifes 550 Grizzly. He topped em off both with gas and trailered them out to Hazelton Pennsylvania with me riding shotgun. We met up with Marks friend Danny who also has a 550. I rode the Grizzly and now I understand why you 4x4 guys have so much energy after a long ride. I felt hardly any bumps, was surrounded by 4x4 comfort the whole ride. Narry an arm pump or sore muscle afterwards. I did miss the rush of shifting gears though. Mark and Danny had a few chuckles as as Im slowing down I pull in what I think is the clutch (really the rear brake) and keep hitting the handlebars. We got lost a few times but I didnt care one bit. Mark kept apologizing for making wrong turns. I could care less, I was riding an atv in 50 degree weather. What a blast! :biggrin:

Thanks Mark and his wife for letting me ride. :biggrin:

I hear ya. On very loose coal trails i was able to slide turns. Wheelies were a no go with a cvt transmission. Did some small jumps. I was being conservative since it wasnt mine... We went through two tunnels bout 1-2 ft deep water. Couldnt do that on my ex with the open airbox.

Like you said when i get old ill get a 4x4 :D

      Heavy Duty ATV Cover
      By Gwbarm
      Does anyone have a recommendation of a really Heavy Duty ATV cover. I have bought several and they do keep the water off somewhat, but they are very thin and do not contour with the shape very well and water pools up in the rack louvers. I think i may be looking for a heavy canvas one, if anyone has a recommendation it would be greatly appreciated.

      ATV Snow Plow Review, Best ATV & UTV Snow Plows
      By Ajmboy
      So we are almost a month into winter and I've been so busy working on my house that up until today, I didn't realize that we just haven;t gotten any real snow yet to warrant putting the plow on my grizzly. So that got me thinking, what are the latest plows out there and what ATV plows are the best? I've got 2 snow plows for my grizzly, a quadboss pile driver atv plow set up and a snowsport ATV plow. They are both a bit dated now and I tend to stick with the snowsport due to ease of use and I just like it so much. So if you have a plow on your ATV, please let us know what it is and post a picture with your atv/plow would be awesome. Would also like to know what you like and dislike about it.
      This is back a while when I did a write up on these 2 plows.... in 2009 I got the snowsport and in 2012 I got the quadboss.

      Winch ATV in to Truck Bed
      By Panupong Pradchaphet
      I have a Sportsman 450 HO and almost killed my self when loading it on my truck with ramps.  It rolled off the top of the ramps and tailgate and nearly landed on me.  I now want to winch the ATV in to the truck.  My question is are the front side bed tiedowns in my 2011 RAM strong enough to winch to without distorting the hooks or sides of the bed?
