I have turned a chapter in my book of life. I have been heavy into Honda ATCs from 1984 - 1994 and then again from 1999 - Present. Thus my board name "ATC Tim". I never got into quads as I found them clumsy, boring, and ill handling. As I am getting older, I felt it was time to try out something new, and with the help from my friends, I am now in the SxS game. Seems many of my 3 wheeler friends have picked up SxS's this year too. As one friend told me recently: "With age comes a cage". Truer words never spoken Larry! On Black Friday I pulled the trigger on this 2018 (leftover) P5. I had been waiting on a white one, but it seems they still are very hard to come by. The incentives on this one made it worth it, and the fact that I can change colors whenever I want for cheap made it a no brainer. Since purchasing it, I am glad I got red - it matches my 3 wheeler collection so much better than white would have.
I am done modifying / accessorizing / farkling it for the time being. I am beside myself with how much fun this unit is out on really tight technical ATV trails in my area. It really is a great big time to ride it and I have been enjoying it daily. It doesn't beat me up so bad as some of my trikes do while riding it, and parts are still available from Honda for it, something that has gotten tough in the ATC game.
My mods to date include: EZ-Steer Power Steering, Warn Provantage winch with Warn 54" plow, Walker Evans Shocks, Honda Front and rear bumpers, Honda Bimini top, Honda cage storage bag, Honda P7 Deluxe wheels, Take off Carlisle ACT tires in 26" (take offs from Canned Ham Maverick Trail 1000), SSV Works Sound System, Honda Worklight (still waiting on light itself - wiring and switch already installed) and an Orca 26 Qt cooler for the back for storage and ice cold beverages. While looking for a storage solution, I got to thinking how I want the storage to be matching in color, and this thing matches great, and straps right to the rear rack in a more than perfect way. It seems it is almost meant to fit there. I also purchased some real cheap $20 Chinese side view mirrors, which work awesome, but look hideous. I went ahead and purchased the Honda ones, and they are really nice and look good, but now I am scared to put them on it yet from the abuse I have put the Chinese ones thru, and they are still in tact. Once I bust these I will replace with the Honda ones I now have.
I hope to enjoy years of good times rocking the Mullet every chance I get.
