P700 Island Life

[Diverguy]

I just returned from a trip to Utila Island (one of the Bay Islands of Honduras). There are very few cars on Utila (I saw a few small delivery trucks, that's all). Transportation is by motorcycle (most under 150cc), ATV, mini-bike, UTV, golf cart, or tuk-tuk (their form of taxi). I saw lots of Honda bikes and Navi's, but not one Pioneer. I asked a guy that had a new Teryx 4 seat and he said he looked all over for a Pioneer, but could not find one anywhere on the mainland, so he settled for the Teryx. I showed him a picture of my 700-4, and he got a huge smile..."that's the one I wanted" he said. If I took mine there, I would be the "big man" on the island. It's a very cool place to see...a simpler life. Could be a nice retirement spot...hmmmmm

Just how many electric companies they have there? HA!

Just the one, and they really rape the islanders!

Looks like you could steal electricity with that maze of wires and never get caught! HA!

I recently returned from a trip to Aruba and I was AMAZED by the amount of Pioneers they had on the island! Everything from 700-2's and 4's to 1000's! They were all over... You would of thought they were shooting a Honda commercial. I wanted to rent one so bad, but time didn't permit. It appeared you could drive them everywhere. We recently purchased our 700-4 and I would point them out to my wife and say, "there's a reason they have all Honda's here"! Nothing but quality for them. It was pretty cool to see that many of them. It definitely further validated my decision to pick the Pioneer.
