:tup: Great bike. Maybe some wider wheels or spacers for stability? Not sure if that was issue with previous one? What ya adding?
No the problem with the other one was side hilling on too steep a section, poor planning on the rider's part!!
Thumb assist, gun rack, front cargo hold of some type and a rear drop basket that I can attach a dog rack to so I can rig bears off of it with the dogs.

Nice. You better sign up for a defensive driving course.
Sad part is I had the three day ATV combat course when I was in the Military! :)

I wouldn't buy a different machine, love my 07' 700. Do they have any bigger ones, not that we need more than a 700.? what do they cost new???
I think it's the biggest, but the Grizzly is geared differently and is a bit taller. This one with Tax, titling and a 2500 pound winch installed was $9998.33.

Last year I was at the top of a fairly steep canyon. Walked around in three different places looking for a safe way down. Hiked in and out and finally found an old skid trail that looked good. Just needed to side hill about 25 yards. I hit a rock and the back right tire came up and I stopped and backed up. I was only doing a half mile an hour, if that. I went forward a little further down hill and ended up catching a different rock and having the front tire slide a little bit. Back tire came up and I was unable to get my weight thrown uphill, rolled downhill. ATV landed square in my back, actually thought I had broken it at first. The drop basket on the back of the ATV just barely missed my head. I was extremely lucky not to end up with some serious head injuries. As I lay there with no breath in my lungs I watched the ATV roll and just missed a tree which would have stopped it, but it missed it and rolled over the edge. I could hear it rolling down the mountain forever. Probably rolled 400 yards. Lucked out, it hung up on a tree 5 feet above a 2 track road at the bottom. Only had 225 miles on it. :'( :'(

Nice wheels. Going to look for a turkey?

Oh yea, but probably using it more for chasing bears with the dogs.

Thanks everyone, looking forward to breaking it in and NOT breaking it! :chuckle:

I think you should change your nickname to "Lucky Machias".

Insurance paid it off and kept it
