P500 Mountian Riding and Rollovers

[100Acre]

Some of the reasons I went with the P5 were:

Originally I wanted a "Dinghy or lifeboat" beyond my bicycle if something were to happen to the tow rig in some backwater forest. I went with P5 over dual sport bike, or ATV due to comfort reasons and gut issues.
Budget, I really couldn't afford something much larger. Especially with all the added upgrades.
The P5 is a good entry level machine and can do some amazing things from everything I've seen on youtube..
It's just the dog and myself. No other family or spouse will be going with me.
I plan on towing it across country so smaller, lighter, better fuel economy for tow rig.
The main states I plan on spending the most time in, Colorado and Idaho seem to have many 50" ohv restricted trails.
If the plan for much of the USDA is to try to restrict more access down to 50" trails then this seems a good investment.
Anything up from the slow Kubota RTV is exhilarating!

I think...26"are most common on here
..or close. I won't go taller.. your a big...tall guy...
so you have more..up higher weight..not being
rude..just real.... so keep that in mind...but 26" tires
ain't 26" if you run um...1/2 flat.....stock tires on p5
ain't a bad tire..it's wrong size..
I'd Do spacers with tires ya got..you get more stable
....for less $.,
For safety

But won't spacers widen the P5? I'm concerned with trail width restrictions.

If'n you want an ATV ride to access mountain trails but also the comforts of a P5...

I had one of those,if u go over 40mph they start flapping like a tent in a hurricane. The cheap metal posts broke after one year and replaced it with metal conduit. It lasted 1 year and broke I should have used rebar instead. If u stopped moving in the rain it started to drip though,not near as good as the cab and windshield.

You should've considered an alternate scar downward to make a "4" to remind yourself. OUCH that must've hurt .lol Gotta be more careful in our older years.

I was thinking to keep my stock rims.

At first I was worried about bigger tires making it tippy but after riding on those crappy stock tires I knew better quality tires would make it more stable. I am at 4,800 miles on 26 inch tires. I think it is more stable and safer than an atv. Before when I hauled a whitetail on my rincon I had blood all over me and couldn't carry another person,now I don't even notice the deer on the back. I used the cup holder to hold the heart.

Is that foam pipe insulator wrapped in camo tape on your side bars and what's the material between the deer and your rack?

Dang! I hit a truck with my 4 wheeler when I was in high school but never got anything like that. Ill just say that beer and crossing the foul line don't mix. That lane is slick!

I couldn't imagine walking around high school with a big L on my forehead. Must have been fun times.

Lol.. chicks dig scars!

Lol.. chicks dig scars!

I met my wife when I had a black eye. Maybe that works too.
By the way the black eye was not from bowling or an ATV!

Yep,that's what it is,I usually bump it that side brace a couple times a month and am glad it is there. That is my rifle case,it was made for an atv but I bolted it to my cow mat.
