Hope the ol Talon makes it out alive this weekend supposed to be pretty gnarly,not like we could win anything but maybe survive the course. Got an invite from rock crawler buddy so going to give it hell

 

[CumminsPusher]

Got the plastics zip tied on, new windshield in and reattached the door panels. Good as new, ready for some more road rides

Talon made it out aliveI my buddies too. Went everywhere the massive rock crawlers went without damage. Even winched a Wildcat up the rocks after He broke front diff and axle. Including the Wildcat there were only three of us sxs’s out running the coarse. Neither mine or my buddy sustained any damage this weekend, we ran um hard. Junk ass Honda’s🤣

Yet another weekend in the books. Really enjoying the machine. Wife drove all Friday night for about 6 hours. Can say she’s very confident in it now. We took off alone again, had couple beers, tunes and trails. Creek ride also, it’s nice getting out with her alone, we’ve really needed that over the years, we’re always worried about everyone else. Nice having a break.
We got up into some massive hill climbs next day. A couple of them the Talon was spitting shale rocks all the way.up. I’ll admit I was terrified on one hill, manual 2nd low pinned for a long ways, worried I’d spin out part way up and be f***ed but somehow found traction at the right times over roots or something solid. Front wheels up many times. And going down was a direct slide when brakes touched in places. Had Garmin camera going and saw 63 degrees of angle so I guess pretty severe in loose material.
Had lots of fun once the shakes mellowed out a bit lol. Still amazes me what sxs’s can do sometimes.

Couple shots from last weekend. Great ride, 110 miles and 13hrs. Stopped for the best French dip around in Montana. Got clogged up a bit at the waterfall with a very unfriendly Jeep club that had broken a bunch of crap.
A local sxs group has seen enough posts that they asked If we could lead the way next weekend. I was told it’d apparently be the core group that doesn’t mess around and they’d like to ride with us. We’ve found enough ways through areas that others haven’t so it’ll be cool getting er done.

Glad to see that lightly damaged fender is being put to good use. 😂

Might be better off with no fender?!?!

I kinda chuckled a bit after seeing the fender you shipped saying it was replaced because of a couple scuffs. Some people 🤣
Actually the front painted fenders still aren’t bad, but I’ll be looking for rear fenders this winter. Hoping to fix her back up and I’ll be taking Pioneer next year much more so it doesn’t get so bad. Rear quarters are way beyond anything I could even pretend to fix, I ordered a set months ago just to do that but still back ordered so if you see anything…

Few pics from last weekend adventures. Was asked to take local riding group out so we did. Couple area’s only a few followed, and a few other areas a couple were too wide but everyone seemed to have a good time. Took off about 8am and got back at midnight after two in the group wanted to continue on for a night ride, that got a bit deep even for us lol.
Did just a little of everything, even got into a high speed run with the RS1 at 70 for about 10 miles 25 feet apart, that was new to mu but definitely a blast. A few of us are trying to set something back up real soon. Good group.

 

[CumminsPusher]

Well I guess even though everyone in the new group had a good time they don’t exactly want to get more sketchy. Luckily it looks like the admin and another want to go again this weekend. Pretty excited, looks like I need to get a bunch more zip ties and glue for the ol Talon before the weekend🤣
Added a Rzr rock crawl edition and a Pioneer 1000 to the group.

Louisiana terrain is almost like that...
