    Time for an upgrade !!

    Nope, not the wrong forum ... and its not a PC upgrade, silly !! Its a big boy toy upgrade !!


    After 1.5 years of scooting around the woods of Pennsylvania on my sport quad, I got the chance to ride on a friend's utility ATV. I had been putting it off, fearing the worst, and finally it happened. After one ride, I was hooked. And after 1 year of saving and the sale of my beloved sport quad, this big old fatty showed up in my driveway yesterday:



    Its a 2005 Polaris Sportsman 700 Twin EFI with a special paint scheme known as Mossy Oak. The color scheme also is applied to the rims and is best described as purple and brown leaves over a tan background. Stock, it comes with a Warn winch, heated hand grips and the previous owner added a plow and large storage box on the back. So now that I have a plow, that means no more snow this year !! That's the way it always works, correct ??

    I really didn't need to buy one with such a big motor, but the price was good for what I got (it cost a shade over $4k). I have to do some cleanup and patchwork on it (one tire has a leak in it from an old plug) but otherwise it appears solid and ready to ride.
    I will post some pics in about 2 weeks when I finally get some time to get it into the woods.

    Looks good and a great price.
    The purple is definitely you.

      Yea, I do like my purple !! Truth be told, I was in the market for a yellow quad right from the start (higher visibility in the woods so you don't have to worry about other riders not seeing you out of the corner of their eye).

      With that being said, what do I settle on but a CAMO scheme that is meant to blend in !!!
