This morning:
No doubt one of the most fantastic runs I've done to date.
We were headed to the 12.000 ft level from the desert floor and it's stunning views, hairy drops and excellent scenery.
It was raining and iPhone's hate the wet so I only snapped a few pix.
Of maybe 15 rides some of the girls were soaked and cold so we cut the trip short before we hit the summit, had a beer break then headed back.
Ran the stock wheels and tires. With the bigger brakes on the turbo I'll have to use 1" spacers to use my Hypers and stealths. 1" spacers are on back order:
Our starting point this morning in Hesperia. Trail to Lake Arrowhead begins just down the street:
I had given up the thought of buying a Rzr Turbo then I got a text from my dealer with significant $$ knocked off the price.
I balked.
Then I got another text a few days later with another big chunk of $$ knocked off and a big discount on options and a 5 year warranty.
So I bit.
I love off roading and spent most my life with jeeps and quads. Rzrs should be affordable but they are really pricing themselves out of business.
The turbo hauls ass. I don't need to be the fastest guy out there, I just like lots of power and it delivers and is fun to drive. Especially at high altitude. If I wanted to be the fastest I'd roll with a Z1 conversion.
Power comes on immediately. Reverse power too. Not the old chain reverse, the trans is now geared for it and it's brutal.
I barely got on the throttle even on the steepest of grades.
Cushy ride, quiet, fun to drive. With over 10 hours on it no complaints. The plastic roof is going for the Metal roof.
