    As most of us, I love tromping through the woods. Now I'm gonna do it in style:D:cool:… I've had ATV's in the past but not in the last several years. Now that I'm offically not going to leave and retire here, I decided to treat myself for a new woods machine:)….. It won't be long before the wife will have one also, the Daughter is on her own:p… Oh yea, I just brought it home today!

    Well, I'm gonna go a few more years till the Daughter is out of College, I figured while I'm still working, I can afford it. When I retire, my pay will drop a bit so I figured I get this now. Honda now has the 2015's on the floor and this is a 2014, the place I have dealt with in the past gave me a "great" deal in my mind, knocked $1300 off the machine/the normal price, gave me a $500 military discount and $300 for the Honda incentives…. Now lets get past the BU!!S#!T, you pay for it in the long run:p… I did get 2.99 financing, long story short, in the end I will have saved about $700 of the original price. I don't mind helping someone earn a living and put food on their table, and as least this ATV was built in Ohio.

    Yep, good thing you don't have all orange saws. They'd get lost strapped to that.:D
    My geometry teacher had a Roadrunner that color.

    Congrats. I look forward to many pics of wood cutting and hauling with that machine!

    Now you gotta get a chainsaw scabbard. I got one from Swags and I love it!
