I have quit before, first time for 5 years, second time for 1 year. It's a bit different than being an alcoholic, a lot different. Never tried it, I had enough with Alcohol didn't want any more bad habits..strange I guess but I never knew more that a couple kids who ever did any thing other than alcohol, I had parties every day at my home that I bought in 1966 at age 18, it was a great time, lots of teeny bopper chicks were there and being on a 2,300 acre Lake we did lots of swimming and water skiing, was a good time to be young. Kids parents would show up from time to time to check on their kids, even the parents thought it was a safe environment and sometimes would have a beer with us..we took the car keys from anyone who drank, it was 1 of my rules to be there, not from parents though.

Sled traffic absolutely sucks up here on weekends. Last week Wednesday we saw only 12 wheelers all day in 90 miles, all but 2 were 2-4 place machines, this was only on 1 trail though. We rarely ride on weekends or holidays..counted more than 75 on Father's Day a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireball 440 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 30 miles is probably about it in those old Rangers before your butt and back wear out. I had a 2012 and it rode trails horrible, dirt roads were OK at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She likes the fact the seats are comfy and it takes the rough trails pretty well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
