Why I shouldn't take three days off...,

[mwilson]

I go buy stuff like this

 

[mwilson]

Came with the rear seat kit, 6' Warn steel snowplow and four matching spare wheels and tires. 2013 and it looks like brand new.
Grandkids are ecstatic..,

Looks like a high speed Gnome cruncher! Keep the keys in your pocket so Momma don't put a Gnome sticker on this one too.

 

[jgillott]

Very nice.

If I were to purchase any 4 wheeler it would a Can Am.

Did you get both the performance and work keys? The work key is great for the grandkids, wife, or any company potentially under the influence that doesn't need "all that" :-laf. I absolutely love the Rotax power plants, they have a broad torque curve and the engines are dead reliable. Different engine family but the fact they are commonly used in aviation speaks volumes to the reliability.

Is that the 800 or 1000? I've got a "slightly" tweaked 800 that's been dynoed at 90 HP in a 600 lb quad. Still working on getting the clutching tweaked but the way it sits now it will eat everything I've put it up against for lunch whether its track, trail, or drag. It'll hurt ya quick if you don't respect it.

800 XT. Power steering which was a must on my list.

 

[mwilson]

Yes, gray key and black key.

 

[JR]

Do you know about the performance key and work key?

I only ask because you bought it used and are semi dependant on what the PO gave you. I bought a very gently used 12 in early 14 and didn't get the work key, but it wasn't a big deal to me given what I use it for.

Edit: gotcha . enjoy Mike, they truly are great machines.

 

[mwilson]

I believe there are three keys now, performance, kid and work?

I supposedly have the kid (gray) and performance (black) keys.

Has an LED light bar, called "Night Sun"!!!! Holy crap, just tried it. Will try to capture it..

On the G2 quad chassis (2012 and later) there are 2 keys, the gray work key and black performance key. I persuaded a friend into buying a new at the time 2014 model after riding mine and this is what he got from the dealer. The side by sides may be different but I would assume they are all the same.

 

[mwilson]

Night sun.....

 

[mwilson]

After 4 hours and 50 miles in the saddle yesterday I am impressed with it.

Wife and I both said that the seats are far better than the ones in the Mega Cab......

A little squirrelly at first with both grandsons in the back seat, then I figured out that the sway bar will catch up. Then I proceeded to give them both a few thrills. Seats in back have the five point harness so they are not coming out.

 

[mwilson]

First stop, the windmills...

 

[mwilson]

The other is Seth's Can Am.

 

[OffroaderMe]

Ooh Can Am. nice!

 

[TFucili]

Have fun, Mike! BTW, we call 'em "Canned Ham"

 

[mwilson]

Have fun, Mike! BTW, we call 'em "Canned Ham"

Thanks!! We named it "Peggy"

Bought it through Craigslist, I asked the guy if he was a Nigerian scammer, peddling Russian Brides or if he was really Peggy from the Capital One commercial...."Hello, zis is Peggy"...

He thought that was a frigin' riot so the name stuck.

Now are you going to double tow that toy with your Cougar?

Or are you going to buy one of these to haul around your new toy? See link

See this is what happens when you start buying more toys than you can haul around!

P.S. Congratulations on the new ride!

 

[mwilson]

Thanks Jim!!

Now she is wanting me to install a trailer hitch on the Town and Country so that she can tow it. Will follow me when I tow the Cougar.

She is really on board with this. Sometimes my ideas don't go over so well if you know what I mean........:-laf
