New SXS

[Code54]

I live close to the Harfield and McCoy trailhead (about 30 miles to the one so I can ride the SxS there if I want) but never take my Jeep past the trailhead parking lot. Many of the trails here in WV are too tight for a Jeep and some state roads are too rough for a comfortable ride in the Wrangler. Now jump in the Defender and the roads are comfy and it will fit where I would tear up my Jeep. We also have ATVs for where the SxS won't fit. It is sort of an off-road riding culture where we live so all kinds of off-road machines are in the stable for the weekly rides and each sort of has its place.

. Maybe my old age showing but eating dust in a $20k "toy" is not my idea of fun.

I don't do 20K toys ever. If it don't earn it's keep or make my farming easier, it don't get bought, ever.

Have a friend who owns one of those go fast Polaris side by sides and I will say that once the initial take off is experienced, I was not impressed at all. I don't need go fast, I need utility. Fast only gets you in trouble faster IMO.

You sound like my Dad. No such thing as spending time or money on recreation.

LOL. Me, I don't drink, smoke, go out, or play sports. But I work hard and need some form of entertainment and this is it.
So I didn't mind spending some cash. Gotta have some kind of life to enjoy.
Otherwise what's the point of living.

I had once thought about the Jeep thing too. But many of the trails I ride are narrow and the Jeep would have no mirrors or paint left on it. My mirrors get knocked in on the side by sides.
But a lot of my rides would be good for a Jeep.

We have enough 'recreation' as it is. Living out here in 'Flyover Country' has a lot of benefits and we own an RV as well. Being retired has it's benefits as in plenty of do nothing time to relax and watch the mixed up world go by. I've trilerd the side by side up to our northern Michigan property before and rode it up there. No one to stir up dust either and plenty of trails just made for riding on and most of it is private property anyway but we have the land holders permission to ride on their land. I'm all about leaving it like I found it so I have zero desire to rode on public trails anyway and I usually have tools in the back to clear away deadfall and keep the trails open and useable.

I've riden all over Michigan too, but on the single track with dirt bike at all the ORV parks. Many of the AMA district 14 enduro races I competed in were held on those ORV trails.
Up here where I live we have no "organized" trails, only for snowmobiles. So you pretty much ride wherever you want. And I'm surrounded by hundreds of miles of old logging roads.

Haven't been out riding much, but 700 miles and still no reason to hate CF Moto. Not one issue yet.
Love the LED headlights. No need to add any lights. And now my Polaris friends want to get turn signals for their machines after seeing how nice it is having them on mine.

Definitely interested in the CF Moto UTVs for the farm/apiary. Keep us updated!
