I rode it around in the yard a little and when the Queen came home she and I took it for a couple mile ride. The only little problem I've found is that it doesn't want to unlock the rear differential for turf mode. The indicator light will show it in turf mode but it's not, the rear differential will pop when it unlocks and then it's in turf mode. Some times it will pop and unlock right away and other times it takes several minutes of riding.

I'm already working on a couple things for it. None of my hitches were long enough to keep a trailer hitch from hitting the muffler cover so I'm making an extended one. Also I'm going to make a headache rack of sorts to carry my climbing sticks for my hang on deer stands, just have to check my tubing supply. I'm rubbing around on ideas for a rear bumper and a radiator guard.

I'm impressed with the power, the steering is nice and tight although it did have the feeling of it wanting to dog track some, bias ply tires is why I think. The center of gravity is high and it shows up in the feel in turns, something I'll have to get used to and learn where the oh $hit point is. That'll come after I lay it down once. I think good shocks will make the handling much better although I don't see me spending another $2200-$2800 on shocks.

The Queen really liked it and said she was happy we got it. An executive order was issued for a windshield though LOL.

Well I'm sorry to hear of the turf issue I'm kinda surprised a little that wasn't caught at your dealer maybe cable adjustment?
Windshield is definitely nicethats a must for most.
I'm glad to hear your pretty happy with the machine because you were really researching this. Happy wife happy life,funny way to put some of that but for anyone who's married we all know what you're speaking of!

Now just needs a big 01 on the door and a roof with an X on it. I have contemplated many times wrapping mine.
