    Thanks BuckBilly :wink:

    Ajmboy, Not yet and with a few things coming up this weekend

    it's looking like next week :aargh:

    A buddy of mine has two '08's and I've racked up a few miles on his

    the thing I'll really be watching is the off camber areas.

    In the last five years I've had the pleasure to ride what

    I believe is one of the finest ATV's My '05 'Desert Edition'

    Honda Rubicon. From the desert flats in 100° heat to elevations

    of 10,000ft, in temps of 19° Through boulder infested dried up

    river beds and wash's and a occasional run in fender deep snow

    not once did I have to walk or be towed back to camp !

    This has allowed me to rack up 9,200 issue free miles and the

    opportunity to ride and meet with some fantastic people across

    the state of Arizona and points beyond...it's been a most excellent

    adventure to say the least.

    At this point in my life I have come to the reality that I'm not as

    young as I once was and the need for an IRS suspension was becoming

    more attractive after a long day of exploring in the desert southwest.

    So I'd like to present My 2009 "Desert Hawk" Edition Rincon

    My goal for this unit was to have all of the thing's that made the Ruby

    the ultimate (for me) ATV with just a bit more snort and a cushy ride.

    With this idea and information I've read on all of the site's I visit

    I do believe my goal has been accomplished !

    Nothing like this can be achieved with out some help so I'd like to

    give a shout out to the Staff of Coyote Honda in Avondale, AZ.

    ARIZONA'S LEVEL 5 Honda Powerhouse Dealer.

    Left to Right Parts Manager Matt Service Manager John, And Master Technician

    Dave who kept the Ruby in top running condition since 2005.

    This will be the last time I'll ever see this on the Rincon !

    Possible Forest Closures !

    A good friend of ours e-mailed us this information.

    Hello from Heber !!

    I am writing to you all to ask that you go the link below, and sign the petition located there. This is a petition to fight the Forest Service's effort to close 80-90% of ALL forest service roads - NATIONWIDE. If they are successful in passing their "Travel Management Rule", they will close all but the MAIN roads in and out of the forest, and we will have no other access by ANY Motorized vehicle. You will not be able to Camp off these main roads - to retrieve a game animal off road or retrieve firewood. You will either have to carry out to the open roads by hand, or obtain a special use permit to go off road in a vehicle. You will also have to WALK into the forest to find game or firewood, as the roads we all presently use throughout the forest will be Closed !!! Ken and I truly believe that this will not only impact our use of the forests, but it will impact the economy in our community as well as others in similar areas throughout our state (and across the US) in a huge way!!! If people cannot come to our mountains and use the PUBLIC forest lands as we do now, not only will folks quit coming to camp/hunt/fish etc, but they will find new places to have their "summer cabins" - and go elsewhere to recreate and build - somewhere they have the Freedom to do what they are there for... and full enjoyment of OUR PUBLIC LANDS!

    We will lose our Freedom in the Forests and Much More if we do not fight this proposed Rule. This will be voted on and monies appropriated to put into full swing before summer. If passed, by 2009 this will become a reality. What's worse, this is only the tip of the iceberg.... they have so many other measures they are trying to implement to keep us out. What they do plan to keep open, will all have a FEE tied to the use of camping, boating, game/fuelwood retrieval even day use areas. This is all in addition to the permits and licenses we are already required to pay for. If I am not mistaken, we already pay to enjoy the public lands merely by being tax paying citizens !

    I have a lot more information on this if you want to call or email me with questions, but for now, please go to the link, sign the petition, and then forward it to ALL your family and friends to do the same.
