I went last week up North to Michigan and did some trail riding around the Baldwin area on my RZR!!

If you haven't trail ridden in Michigan, a lot of the trails are very sandy.....soft, some are very narrow. But I found some that were wide enough to uncork this thing a bit and it was FREEKIN' AWESOME!!!!

I maintained a speed between 35 to 50 mph though a large section of the trail !!

It was unbelieveable how well it soaked up everything I through at it. In 2-wheel drive it was a little less predictable, but when you engage the AWD it just railed around the turns!!

I went though some whoops that would have rattled your teath on a standard quad. I did wish I had the rear view mirror, so when I got home I ordered it.

That is a really nice option too. With it sitting sort of Car-Like.....I always catch myself looking up for a mirror. ha ha

But, this thing seriously ROCKS on the trails !!

I did the dunes (Silver Lake); Baraga trail (tight) and the Bill Nichols railroad grade (fast and washed out) last week and would agree wholeheartedly.

This may sound a bit conservative; but this machine builds so much confidence so quickly...that it is obviously almost 'dangerous' in the wrong hands.

Honestly?...I'm not much into being the passenger in this thing for what I consider pretty good reason.(lots of jamming your foot against the floorboard while putting the OS bar in a death grip.....).

Forming a "Long Range Financial Subcommittee" in MI.:
Take two inexplicably expired term motorcycle reps. still serving on the board (one names yet another motorcycle rep)
Add 1 full-size and but 1 atv rep.
Arrogantly claim that the entire process should be finished in 4 conference calls with absolutely no public involvement or any meeting minutes recorded.
Result?
No complaint whatsoever from sheep-like atv clubs with literally tens of millions in play.

I'm leaving Wednsday night and heading for the Piaute trail in Utah. We are spending 3 days on the trail. Should be a decent test.
