I need some better places to ride, 5 mile and the little moab area get boring fast. If you get down towards the Kanab area, let me know. Ran Peekaboo and part of Hog Canyon last weekend. Was mostly dry. The Barracks trail is open, but with the snow run off, I'm staying out of there for now as there have been multiple vehicles stuck in the multiple river crossings. That should subside here in the next month I would think. |

I was going to pull them off now that the mud is subsiding but I dont think I will. Keeping the high speed rocks off us is nice. |

I helped develop Wolverine, Viking, XYZ, and R-Max (as well as the ATVs) before I went onto other product lines. |

Bought this from my brother, 2004 Yamaha Rhino 660. OG SxS. 1800 miles, half put on by me anyway  . I also get the cab and plow, but won't be using the plow. Just got the bird shit washed off. This machine is for driving my 9yo around thy yard and for my 16yo for trail riding instead of the old polaris sportsman.

Back when I went to college at Wastern Michigan, I covered nearly every back road in the region, that one included. Very cool! |
