Freedomflyer 1,895 Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) Had the privilege to get out both days this weekend, weather was fantastic. Was able to take my oldest brother out to an area he hadn't been to yet, and was thankful that we got to spend that time together just the two of us. I did ask some others to go but they were unable to make it so it ended up making a special day for us. His health is not the greatest so will definitely treasure the time and memories of this outing. Was also able to finally link up with my neighbor and some friends of theirs and take them on one of our favorite trails today. They seem to be gone most weekends over the summer so has been tough to connect over the past 4 years since they bought their Razors. They seem to stick pretty close and go riding and camping together most weekends. With fall setting in and it dipping into the high 20's and low low 30's at night, our camping season is coming to a close. Still in the 50's - 70's during the day but pretty chilly at night. They had a free weekend so we were finally able to take advantage and get out. Today confirmed for me, once again, why we haven't moved to the sidexside realm yet. We were going to ride on one trail, and even though they have 50" machines. The trailheads have huge rocks, posts, or arched cattle guard type gated areas that are exactly 50" apart. This keeps the larger sized SxS's, jeeps and other 4 wheel drive vehicles off the trails and from getting torn to shreds. My wife and I drove our ATV'S through and friends attempted to do the same. Even though the posts were 50" apart and perfectly plumb, the ground was sloped side to side causing the fenders and door area to lean too far to the side and would have scratched the entire side of the machine as he drove through. He couldn't even get the front fender flair through with out it getting scraped and gouged by the wire of the fence wrapped around the posts. So had to change plans and go different route. Still ended up being a terrific day and they had a great time riding in a new area. No SxS for us in the near future!!! Here's some pics from both days. All blue skys and no rain for us, Sorry Jeep😕, okay, not real sorry 😁. Edited October 4, 2021 by Freedomflyer 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlammedRanger 1,559 Posted October 4, 2021 Wow talk about some beautiful views! Those are some killer pictures! Weather up north stunk all weekend. Rained on and off saturday afternoon through today until just a few hours ago it finally stopped. Gunna be a wet start to the week by the looks of it aswell. Its a bucket list deal for me to one day go out west and ride some similar trails. Its just getting all the pieces togeather. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadetree 5,969 Posted October 4, 2021 SXS's are useless !. as you seen, they are limited on space ?, no where near small enough to go where 4-wheelers go. and they cost about 3 times as much!, nope, i'll stick with old school. outstanding pics !!!. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freedomflyer 1,895 Posted October 4, 2021 Me too, can't see anything when you're in them. I guess they work for some. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,719 Posted October 4, 2021 I'd like to have a SXS for work, but going out cruising will always be on a 4wheeler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
