P500 P500 Glory! ...maybe

[snakeriver]

Congratulations on the new ride. Let me be the first to welcome you to the red is the fastest color owners club. It is now your duty to not let those other color haters spread their lies unchallenged. A small price to pay for that little bit of extra speed Mother Honda gives us red owners.

What he said!!!!!

Finally hit the mountains today. Great machine! Added a gun boot for hunting season. Works like a champ.

@Raghorn excellent looking rig, congratulations you will love it. Mind you sorry it’s not 2015 Green, as that would fit into your landscape a bit better... and of course be just a little quicker too heh heh. Beautiful country, wow looks just like where I live just North of you in BC, Canada.
Cheers and happy trails!

I really like the tires you chose makes me wanna buy a set!

 

[Raghorn]

Thanks guys! Worked great. The taller tires need spacers, there was one spot that made me pucker, haha. Going to have lots of good times on this rig. Here are the two other pictures I took.

They are what I going replace my factory tires with. Great looking P500.

Wow such cool country thanks for sharing, could see me riding right up the ridge behind your P5. Kalifornia North here is really clamping down on where one can ride on public lands.... bunch grass phase where I live is basically off limits unless there is a defined trail/road. Have restricted huge areas to NO hunting from ATVs, UTVs even electric bikes... (can still hunt from a pickup or highway type vehicle.... seems odd to me) and we have enormous wolf predation problems that have generally wiped out ungulate populations.

No, not the same.

Yeah, what you can't see in the picture is just below is a trail/road. I just popped up top for the quick picture. Most areas down here require the use of motorized vehicles to stick to roads/trails that full sized vehicles can use as well for hunting. The catch is some of these roads can be so terrible you wouldn't want to drive a truck on, but an ATV/UTV is fine... Haha, p500 for the win!

We have a wolf problem here too. That's why I keep a wolf, bear, and lion tag in my pocket during deer and elk season. Every little bit helps our ungulate populations. Either way, it's just an excuse to get outside and enjoy the mountains.

@Raghorn it looks like you’re in southern Idaho. If so, whereabouts? I’ve done more riding in Idaho than most Idahoans. Was up in Copper Basin, Antelope Pass and a few others East of SunValley and west of Mackey. That’s Salmon Challis NF...Very jealous of where you are. Send more pictures. If you opt for a windshield look at the Super ATV flip up full windshield. Unless you’re tall. Anyway, welcome to the Forum. OMG I think I just said something normal, WTF is wrong with me....?

Oh yes! Southeast Idaho to be specific. Love Copper Basin, Mackay, Sawtooth's, etc. Everything over there is phenomenal. Hopefully I'll get to catch up with you on the trail. Don't have many P500 pics yet, but they'll come. Here are a few of the places I like to camp/ride from what is on the phone.

Mackay.

Island Park.

Sawtooth mountains.

Cave Falls, YNP

 

[100Acre]

Where’s Cave Falls? I was in the sawtooths last year. Went through Stanley again. Isn’t Island park up by the Warm River Henry Lake etc? Memory isn’t working right now. Nice pictures BTW. We’re pictures hungry here.

P500 glory at last!

A little bit of rust, but I will take care of that. The windshield isn't the best. Homemade roof is fine. Winch is awesome. Rear basket is great. Terrabites are awesome too (27s, but they didn't have spacers, I might need to get some of those so I don't tip over). Reflective insulation fabric under the seat (knock off trigger shield, sorry trigger). Under the hood storage. Spare tire. Hitch. A arm guards front and back. Ammo can for storage. Side mirrors. Back fabric panel with clear window is okay. Old school metal gun rack (not sure if I'll keep or not). Oil, filters, air filter for next service.

It's not perfect, but it was decently cared for and has a lot of the upgrades that I wanted to do. It's a 2017 with just over 3200 miles on it.

They didn't have the door nets, anyone have set that want to sell? My wife wants them for the kids.

Finally! Can I be a real member now? 😁

Yeah,we'll punch your card now....

Cave Falls is technically in Yellowstone National Park, but it is just right there by Mesa Falls, outside of Ashton.

Yes, Island Park is up by Henry's and north of Warm River/Mesa Falls.

So much beautiful country!

I typically avoid Yellowstone like the plague due to all the clues less tourists. I was employed by the Museum of the Rockies at Montana State working some archaeological digs in Lower Geyser Basin. Have you explored the Quake Lake region much? Found some spooky places way up yonder . Been just about all over. I was about to start jabbering about SW Montana and the Bitterroot mountains

 

[Tom Fruth]

Just ordered P5, picking it up as soon as hat and glasses, and wench installed. Hope all you Honda guys are right. I have looked all over and finally found one on the floor in Iowa.
