That sucks.

No issues here, luckily I have quad for trail riding..just need to watch out on opening day of rifle season.

Are you implying 1200s are for old people? At least he didn't get the grandpa version. Nice ride, I'm sure GSanta will enjoy it. Curious how 'warm' it is compared to the XR chassis.

Use an enhanced drivers license. No issues with land crossings and it's one less item I need to carry...

Thanks, JG. Wouldn't mind riding the trails around the grand Canyon. Looks like a blast.

Any new buys? Went to a dealer open house and got a maintenance kit for the end of season service. No new toys for this year.

Too bad the C5s no longer fly out of Stewart airport. Would have been a good meeting place for the locals, stop and pick up JG and continue on.

Thinking of a trip in November on vtt. Otherwise its late December or January. Next one in February... it all depends on conditions.

US or CDN?

Can bring one up for ya trailblazer. Just need a free weekend to make it happen

Me too. Have 2 stickers, never been used... Willing to trade for a 2016 fcmq decal. Two for one, how can you not pass this up. Lol

Just ride it and enjoy. Have a '10 Renegade 1200. No issues. Just keep up with maintenance, you will be fine.

Not bad. Hope it gets here soon...

Congratulations to JG and his family. Thank you for sharing the photographs.

Thank you for posting the pictures, JG. The "bunkers" near the runway were a nice find.

Gratz on the new ride. You won't regret moving to a 4stroke, no worries, no smell, no more oil. Gas and go. Have fun!

Welcome to the site. Lots of good people and advice here.

Nice. Very good news!

Forget the distance, but figure around 300 miles, and yes, it is possible as we did this during our cannonball ride two seasons ago. It is possible to stay at relay 22, its more like a truck stop with 3 or so beds to a room. Lookup cannonball in a forum search for details

Thank you for posting the links Mark. Is anything similar available for the atv trails? I have an old Magellan GPS that I use with my Raptor during the summer and fall months. Could add the map to the nuvi and use that instead.

Need to look at other options... should be able to find something on sale for next season. Buying another battery since mine is over 5 years old. Cheap insurance...

Good to see you have it sorted out.

Looks like I will be buying one of those booster packs. Was skeptical until I saw it in action.

Sorry to hear. Hope you can still get a ride in
