Rick, seeing you know how to drive those things, maybe you could apply for a winter job on our beaches patrolling in one of these:



We need people to keep these beach goers under control:


or maybe these - on new years day, the left over partygoers:


Oh Oh - looks like you beat me to it. Someone said they spotted you heading for the beach today!

Send me the job app. I'm all over that.

Thanks for the flattering "On the way to the beach" shot.

Reality is I think you all have seen me on the beach. Sad

This will come as a shock to those who know my sons
history with my toys. We went our today, wife, son and
his GF.

After not seeing him for a little while I went back to see
what the delay was. True to his nature I found this. Laughing



She was still in her seatbelt.



Once righted you can see the depth of the rut he hit.



It was a good day for deer sightings....

And to think I thought it would be Zea to do that first. Laughing Laughing

Honestly it was kinda funny. Once you know everyone is okay
then it's just a matter of getting back on the road.

It happened at low speed and I remember the spot thinking
"That would tip over an ATV". It did.

Oh great like son like father. Embarassed

I had the day off so I went out alone. Down low the
snow had melted quite a bit. Muddy!!!



I had just gone up this very steep hill,



to get this shot...



Down in the foot hills I found a nice rut.



I went higher up where the snow was. On the way down it
was slushy and slippery. Lost the back end and went on it's side.





I thought I was screwed. I was alone, it was getting late,
it had fallen on the down hill side. I remembered that I had
put a hand winch in the trunk after my son did a similar tip over.



The first tree didn't work. Moved it around and got a better angle.
The winch was a POS and the rachet broke. I was sweating so bad
trying to get it to pull up.

I was so happy when I knew it was finally going to right it self.



To think I put the hand winch back on the shelf. Started to leave the
store and thought " Oh what the heck, I'll go back and buy it."

I'd still be walking. Shocked Pheww.

Just keep those arms and legs inside the vehicle and keep your seatbelt fastened, okay buddy! Shocked


Try not to further test the rollbar capacities on that thing, eh?
