She likes the fact the seats are comfy and it takes the rough trails pretty well I'll take it over the RZR. Could be my age talking, but comfort just means more at this point.

Generals are a nice compromise between a RZR and a Ranger, RZR's depending on which model do ride somewhat smoother than the General, at least the 6 that my group of friends own.

Not just that. Way more room in the rear seats. Since that is where the wimmins like to sit, it needs to be nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 On a sad side note, a quasi friend of mine was killed this weekend up in The Forks when he and a girl hit a rut and flipped their 4 wheeler. No helmets. He was a friend of my daughter, came to the house a few times to swim and shit. 32. Too bad.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love a DCT in my toy car as well, they are the best of both worlds. My new rig has got something I had not heard of before. A wet clutch inside a CVT.

Young fellas flipped ATV at start of day, had to be carted out. I guess it was a drunk fest, so glad I didn't go, hate babysitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XCR1250 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Just now, f7ben said: “The law” Yeah, they recently changed the Wheeler headlite Laws, you always had to have them on on Roads and Routes, not trails, now it was changed to include trails too, fine is $228, I hear folks stopped almost every day while listening to my scanner, not sure if they are issuing warnings or tickets. Helmets are required if under 18 and seat belts must be worn by everyone..we were just stopped last week, they only checked Registration. Many Wheelers won't go over a couple MPH if the seat belts are not used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Got back from a trip to Moab and the San Juan mountains last week. Took the Jeep. Did some trails that I didn't think I'd ever do. Earned the Hell's Revenge badge of honor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize it's possible to be hurt, but after riding rec vehicles for over 60 years with no injuries I just don't wear helmets, even when I had Motorcycles.
