Default Towing, again...

My ram did well yesterday. I went ujp to big bear to go to a OHV atv park. Wow that was some fun! I did not get to check my MPG but it was quite a load. I had to rent a trailer from u-haul to be able to take all the toys in one trip wich worked out well. It was only $30 to rent the trailer for the day, 6X12. Here is a pic for you guys, I would have taken some out on the trail but I forgot the camera in the truck


Left to right, suzuki 250, honda 150 dirt bike, another suzuki 250, polaris 200, and in the bed yamaha Wolverine 450 4X4, plus cargo and six people in the cab

I had one in the bed and one the trailer Fri. and Sat.

Ram_Sport, where do you ride? I was in Cadillac and ******* this weekend. Very fast trails, had a blast.

What do you ride? I have a 400ex, friend has a YFZ450 (way cool ride) and a 420cc (Trinity modified) Banshee (Which was overheating, long story) and my dad is still riding a 1984 Big Red 3 wheeler.

I will probably be going back to Cadillac in a few weeks, I'll let you know when.
I'm leaving work now, later.

The Wolverine is nice. For a 4x4 and as heavy as it is, it is fun to ride. The push button 4X4 has came in handy. It gets up and gets going. On the speedo I had it up to 55mph, and I know there is room for more.

I thought hard about getting one but got obsessed with having more power. I'm picking up an Outlander 800 down in LA on Friday.

Hey thats cool. I am staying more towards having a atv with a drive shaft not a chain but I can't find anything bigger than a 250 with a drive shaft thats not a 4X4. I trying to sell my polaris 200, it is a great starter atv but just does not do the trick anymore. I am looking into getting a Honda 250 but I can't even consider that right now, I just moved into my new apartment with my girlfriend and the honda atv will not fit in my truck side by side like the polaris does with my dirt bike, I have to get rid of the bed liner anyone intrested?
