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!

Thanks Mark and his wife for letting me ride.

Nice Mario !!! Its nice to have friends like that !! I`d feel weird riding a 4x4 Wonder if they wheelie in 2nd and 3rd gear ?? I guess when i get old and can`t ride fast anymore I`ll get me one !!

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
