Met with a lawyer. How I got to be almost 67 without ever having one I dunno. Righteous living, I guess. :) Just some routine will and farm stuff. Can't name drop her name, either! But I guarantee Thump'd hit it!

That took all morning. Went to Sam's and always find some unneeded b/s I just have to buy.

And THEN..............look what followed me home!

I can't wait. I know this just seems like just another purchase.........but this way more than that to me. I NEVER thought I'd ever own one of these. To have the comfort of this, a roof, and a new one to boot........and one my wife can handle.......is......well, I'm sort of in LaLa Land over this right now. The stars aligned.........for sure.

No clue, but my guess would be that was taken in on trade. Either that or Bucky is actually rich and has been bs'ing us all these years.

Lemme see ... new truck, new camper, new ... heck, what do you call those things? ATV's? Next step will be a new (bigger) trailer to haul all that crap to camp!

Traded it in. He gave me a heck of a deal on it..........and I'm glad to be rid of that one. I had a lot of trouble with it at end of the hunting season last year. Mechanic found nothing........but it barely ran the last week of the season. It overheated if you looked at it funny, too....and sometimes wouldn't start. IF it started and ran, it was a strong machine and did fine. But just a lot of piddling issues.

I'm tickled with it. We'll see how it goes, but unless it turns out to be crap, and everyone that owns one is a big liar, I don't see a downside right now. The ones I've driven, I liked. There's lots to like about this one...........

As for the wheelie ... I'll beat Cappy to the punch from the days you dumped the other POS and got this one .... "TOLD YA' SO"! :D

Glad you got a good trade. There's nothing worse than hitting the woods with a wheelie you don't trust.

I know. But it was a used one that I 'stumbled on' and thought it was a great deal. It would have been if it had been in better shape engine-wise. I had several Yamaha and Honda use it at camp, and they marveled at how much power and 'umph' it had. But....it kept having piddling problems. SO yeah........I got a used one not in the great shape it was promised to me.

One reason I picked this SxS, is that it has a 3 year warranty! And for $700 (anytime in those 3 years) I can add 2 MORE years. Nobody else comes remotely close. So.......I'll be old when this warranty runs out, in case it has issues.

What? Ok, wait............ :)

P.S.
The "other pos" is still running, daily. I gave it to a friend........and he runs it every single day. No mud, no strain, just on his (hilly) 400 acres........but he said he has no problems with it. I gave it to him because he helped me out, and his Honda gave up the ghost. I never said all that because I'm sure you'd say it isn't possible.........but it was, and is. But anyway, just FYI, that "pos" is still running fine

Bucky ... the only person in the world that can blow up Toyota engines and know of multiple POS Honda 4-wheelers! ;)

Seriously, this new toy looks like a blast.

No, not even close to the only person. And it was a Nissan engine. LOTS of folks I know have had Honda ATV issues. I never had one, so don't know. If you think one brand has a lock on 100% reliability, you're on crack.
