Wouldn't miss it for the world. Absolutely love talking Pioneer with others. I've met PioneerPete and Joey and very much enjoyed talking with them. Looking forward to that campfire conversation lol. I might even have to drink a beer or 6 (something I haven't done in 3 or 4 years). Would like to say I'll be styling with my new wheels but by then they'll be very mud stained and gouged from sharp rocks lol
My rims were dented up and tires had cuts all over after the windrock group ride last year. That part of Tenn is very rocky.

It's rocky here too. I cringed the first time I seen my deluxe rims scrape a rock. After that, I didn't really care. That's why I bought it
Really looking forward to meeting other like minded folks!
$1100 on roof n windshield. WOW! That hurts me. I bought mine bone stock w/out any accessories. First ride out with wife and within 200yd of being in woods she said "a widsheild would deffinantly be nice and was being purchased". Funny how that worked. New yrs ride poked a hole in RF sidewall, she replied guess u can find some tires - couldn't find size I wanted in price range in 12" so found used 14's n then she picked wheels out. Wife wants a radio too so I found a used roof on here and radios next..

Haha that's funny I use the same strategy. I've been wanting to do a bucket seat upgrade since I saw @JACKAL do it on his 500. It's rather pricey when it's all said and done and the wife just wasn't hopping on board. So just this Saturday we go riding on some whooped out trails and were bouncing all over. On the ride home she says, "maybe we do need those seats!"$1100 on roof n windshield. WOW! That hurts me. I bought mine bone stock w/out any accessories.

That's how I hooked mine. Got up to 40mph back in January on our driveway and she was ready for a windshield lol. Then she said we need a top to go with it (she's a keeper for sure). She seen the snorkel but hasn't seen the tires in the shop and obviously not the wheels since they ain't here yet lol. I figure I'll get them mounted and spring it on her all at once. Hey she just spent 3 grand on a tanning bed so I got a little wiggle room lol$1100 on roof n windshield. WOW! That hurts me. I bought mine bone stock w/out any accessories.

I tried the you just bought this or that. Then the wife broke down how much I've spent and I walk away with my tail tucked between my legs.

First rule is to NEVER count up how much you've spent! Either throw away the receipts or stick them in a box and stash it somewhere. Might get you a dollar or two when reselling but don't count on it. I learned that lesson when I was dragracing. I had close to 10 grand in my little 945 nitrous motor alone. Sold entire bike for 3500. They just don't being nowhere near what you've got in it. I spent 6 on the Vance&Hines head alone. Only counting I do is the number of good times I spend behind the wheel.
Man it makes me feel good to see all the support from you guys. Thought I was the only one who bought things installed them n didn't show or tell until wife noticed and by then it was "O I got those a month or two ago." That's where the side work money comes into play. No receipts for the check book or on the credit card!! Burns the wife up or it use to anyways. She's came to terms with it well atleast pretty close to it.

I may exaggerate a bit on some stories lol. Honestly wife doesn't really care what I spend as long as I don't get stupid with it lol. She's real easy going. She goes to exotic animal auctions and I always tell her to buy whatever she wants. Never know what's gonna be in a cage sitting in the mud room the next morning lol. To date it's been Capuchin monkeys, kinkajous, Arctic foxes (my favorite), short tailed opossums, and a few hedgehogs. Most she resells. The foxes got out and were killed by coyotes.
