Clothes are here, just gotta put them on. :) Yesterday I installed side mirrors. Monday night going to install the Honda bimini roof. Wednesday of next week...sand dunes all day! Life is good.
I try to be encouraging and supportive plus she will get over it quicker than you think.

Here's a little clip my 9-yr-old son took during our last ride out to the woods. This ravine is pretty sketchy in-person - you know how video makes everything look smaller, etc. Anyhow, we had to cross this ravine (former site of a railroad track/bridge) to continue our adventure...and I took the chance. Rambo did awesome, better than I expected.

Glad to see you’re wearing a helmet. The P5 is a very tippy machine, You’re likely to have it on its side before you’re done. With 6” of travel that teeter totter is what you get, the 1000 would have kept all four feet on the ground going through that.

It’s possible I’ll end up on my side someday. You’ll know when it happens.

You've all been giving me a hard time about accessories...so here's the beginning: Prior to hitting the sand dunes this past week I installed this "TUSK" whip flag mount. Works great! Bought it at Rocky Mountain ATV - TUSK is the in-house brand for RMATVMC.

Nice whip, but we were thinking more on the line of roof, windshield, storage, lighting, tunes, winch.....etc.
Jeez! Tough crowd. ;) I’ve already installed the roof and mirrors, I’ll post those too. One piece at a time.

Indeed, one piece at a time.....;)
And here's the next piece. Drum roll.....Honda Signature Accessories Bimini Top. I like it! Great product. Gave us shade all day while at the sand dunes. Reasonable price. Quality construction. Easy to install.

So, you can see in that last video that I installed side mirrors. I'll post that install/review video here in the next few days - Maverick Advantage rear view (side) mirrors.
Need ya some sand tires now that will sling it out there.
