awesome thank you!

Hello everyone, Picked me up a 2019 Polaris Sportsman 850 recently and lovin it! I come from a 2 wheel motorsports background, but as I stated in another forum, even as I age gracefully, my body doesnt recover as quickly from soreness/pain nowadays. So far I am having fun with my new found hobby. UTVs are ok imho for recreational fun, but the financial investment is just not quantifiable in my book and the physical/mental challenge a UTV provides is about as exhilarating as driving to the grocery store, unless you are racing of course. SO here I am, riding trails and still havin fun!

Any current Northern AZ folks out there on this forum? Im up in Flagstaff. Any organized rides anyone knows of?

FWIW, I have a 2019 Sportsman 850 SP and break-in is 25hrs or two full tanks of gas according to owners manual. First service interval is 25hrs regardless. I have 110 miles and two tanks burned, but still have about 10hrs left before service interval. So my break in is done, but my service interval is not due yet.

I have a silicone ring that I swap out for the real deal when doing any outdoors activities, working in the garage, etc. Have had a couple close calls with ring avulsion in the past and I like all of my fingers, so silicone rings it is for me.

FNG here, got into quads after riding 2 wheeled motor driven vehicles since child hood. As I age gracefully, I am realizing that injuries dont heal up as quickly as they used to. Intro 4 wheeled off road machines. UTVs are too expensive and dont make financial sense to me (I have a 4wd truck that I use for off roading also). ATVs are much closer to dirt bikes than a UTV, can be just as challenging to ride as a dirt bike, and I am finding out they are ALMOST as fun as a dirt bike🙂.... Looking forward to many years on an ATV 😎
