P500 / 520 Ride for 2022 Takeover

[futzin]

This sounds great, count me in!

Also very interested in the Thursday ride, but will have to firm that up later. Very cool.

@JACKAL @badbowtie @lee @Mudder @trigger were some of that 2017 Jackal led group. I had the yellow 500. That was one of the most fun rides I've ever been on to date. Hope I can secure a 520 by June. @JACKAL knows his trails and which ones are best for us little P5 guys. Deep ruts are not our friends lol

Yes, a fun ride. I had a overheat due to a day of mud but @trigger had some water to wash out the radiator and all good. Purchased a 12v sprayer and water jug as a lesson learned. Can pull water from a creek if needed.

But he takes us through them anyway! 😅
Seriously though, an awesome ride. Never been with a pack of P5's that big before or since.

Not sure how far I could tow the KRX it weighs twice as much as CF Motos, & we ain't got time to replace rubber bands 😜

Yall keep quoting me wrong 🤣

Not sure how anyone thinks I ride only "gravel roads" with all the WTF moments out on the trail, according to group ride attendees. 🤷‍♂️

My notable quotable for the 2022 Takeover, just so we can manage expectations before you commit............ "But did you die?" 😁

@JACKAL, what about Brushy Mt ride either Friday or Saturday? I got to see it last summer with Tony Ford and its worth going back...just a thought!

Yes will probably do 2 trips different groups on Thursday and Friday.

I was just down there this weekend with 2 rzr 900 . It was a fun mess. I climbed over the pipe on thirteen. Went everywhere the rzrzs went but none of us could make it up to top of the mountain. Tree blocking one way and ruts so deep the rzr almost endo . Hopefully they get it cleaned up . Ruts were really bad but doable in a completely stock machine
I'd be down for a ride Fri sat .
I'm on the FB group if anyone wants to see some of the mess from our ride.

Well my quest for a Pioneer 520 is beginning to whizz me off. Much along the lines of the new thread title $36,000 Pioneer trail.

$36,000 pioneer trail

I am # 5 in line for a poineer 1000 trail. When the dealer called I was excited but when he sent me this I see why the other 4 turned it down , I told them I'll wait for a stock one.

hondasxs.com

Half the dealers have a waiting list 3 deep for a P520 since December and that eats up thier allocation through June deliveries. The other half want between $1200-$1500 in additional fees putting the machines near $12k out the door. Just not going to pay that.

Soooo I will happily guide 500 groups but I'll likely be in my old 1000 LE with 13k miles on it unless I luck into a Moose Brown P520 for $9600 + tax within the next 4 weeks.

Sorry we couldn't help, i think between the time i got you info to the sales guys someone had claimed the Grey 520.

Yeah, when I didn't get a call by noon that day I figured it was gone.

I'm still in. I ain't skeered, even having ridden with you before. 🤔

I know your pain as I spent a few months trying to track one down when they came out only to make a 4 hr drive to the next state over just to get one. Goooood luck finding one for 9600 + tax. I think I paid 11.2k OTD and felt that was the best deal I was going to find at that time. Dealers weren't budging.

Also, take out 1 spark plug and I'll follow you anywhere on this trip.

Having had a P500 for 5 years, I have a good idea on the pace for trails, the width difference though I take for granted too much.

A good time will be had by all, and it gets harder from here 😆.

@HondaTech do you work at a dealership? Where are you located?

 

[GRANITE]

I found one today but they wanted 2500 in fees above msrp. I don’t want one THAT BAD!
