ATV Trip

This is stuck! We washed the bikes down in the river after the mudholes only to go back through them again later!

That had to have been a lot of fun and you've just about convinced me to buy the one we have been thinking about.

Have you ever ridden a pipeline or a high voltage powerline right-of-way on an ATV? I'm haven't but I used to have a lot of fun riding the pipeline on a Kawasaki dirt bike. We rode across creeks, through mudholes, around stumps, over rocks, and up steep rocky hills. There were some places that looked like solid ground with tall grass; just as we would get about half-way through, it was as if the ground dropped out from under us and we were up to the seat in mud or water. That was our challenge to see if we could go fast enough to skim over the top instead of dropping in. The other was to see how few (or many) attempts we had to take in order to make it to the top of the steepest hill. You really stirred up a lot of memories for me.

I'm glad you're having so much fun riding with your friends. All that fun can turn you into an adrenaline junkie. lol

Hey bug we are having a blast! We have met 10 or more bikers out there and become friends from the start. So now we all meet up and spend the day together and see some beautiful areas.

I have a 09' 680 Honda Rincon and am running stock wheels but thats going to change very quickly since it is limiting when it comes to mud and rocks.

I have video clips of us having fun but can't post those here (darn) they are pretty good. I think I'm gonna get a "YouTube" thing going so I can post those.

What kind of ATV are you looking at?

I was thinking something in the sport group like a Honda TRX700XX or a Kawasaki 450R Monster Energy. Isn't the Honda Rincon one of those powerhouse "work horses?" Are you planning to get larger wheels and possibly what we call off-road/knobby tires? I wouldn't want to ride behind you if you do. Mud and rocks will be flying through the treetops. lol

Wow you are looking at some nice bikes. We rode with a sport Honda (450 class I think) and it was an awesome machine!
My Rincon is a 680 and I think it leans more toward sport bike than the farm/hunting bike. It's fast and has the indy rear suspension and EFI but no power steering.

For now I'm just gonna get some 25" tires mounted on my oem wheels and when I figure out what I REALLY like I'll take the plunge and get those big old tires and wheels. Maybe 27" tires and 14" wheels???

I looked up the Rincon and it is one "bad" ride; beautiful. I hadn't given any thought to a bike being used on a farm; I was having visions of you hauling a 12-point buck on a rack behind the seat. lol
