Hump's new ride.

Well, I got tired of working on bushings and ball joints after every three days of riding, and I was looking to get out of the payment of the rzr I had so I could find a job closer to home. Well, after the election results it was clear to me that the coal industry and the whole economy in WV was going to be gone for sure. So, I decided to go ahead and stay where I'm at and get a new ride.

I love the color, and looked a while for one. I got $5000 trade in out of the 450! I paid $7195 for it new in 08, so I thought 5k was pretty dern good. I kept my winch, stereo, cage, and light bar. It had a busted floor and a dent in the tailgate, so I think I came out good.

Here she is.

Is it a 2012 or 2013?

2012. The 2013 sports are all that tactical SE flat black with flat black wheels. After seeing one, I didn't like it very well. I decided if I wanted a sport rhino other than it I had better latch on to the Sandstone metalic. Pictures suck, it is a real nice color. I'm going to put a few hundred miles on it to be sure it's OK and then take it to JBS.

Come on down to Matoaka in the morning & we will put some miles on it

I wish I could, but I just buried it up down over the hill behind the house in the snow. I dug for an hour and got tired. I got stuck going downhill. I didn't look that deep, but I was still going downhill when I got high centered. It's about 80 ft from the nearest place I can get my truck to, so I hope I don't get the truck stuck up trying to pull it out.

I got stuck in the 1st 30 minutes after pulling it off the trailer. True story. I just hope I get it out without having a warranty claim.

Congrats hump! U da man! I like it and can't wait to see it!

Where did you trade , hump? Sounds like you did good! Looks good .

You may have to wait a few days for the snow to melt

Thanks Tman! I'm gonna put a sheave and weights in it very shortly, then take it to the man for a cam and so on. It is crazy that the stupid people caused them to get scared and put the low speed limit of 41 on it. It was feeling like it was just ready to start pulling good when all of a sudden it was like someone turned the switch off. They wouldn't let me leave until I watched a 15 minute video on not being stupid in a rhino. I got a free helmet for my 15 minutes though. And, the chair was even padded. He said I may want to wait for 6 months because something new is comming from Yamaha, but they don't know what it is other than it will be a sxs.

Ya'll still have that much snow?

Mid-state Marina in Sutton/Flatwoods, WV. The general manager came out to look at the 450 after the salesman told me what he would do. Manager didn't seem to be very friendly to me. I think he may not have wanted the salesman to put that much in it. Other than that, they were nice to me.

Got about a foot out front, but down over the hill towards the woods it is deep enough to high center without the tires digging down to the dirt. I have never got stuck going downhill before. It melted and froze again last night, so it is bad. I should have known better.

Looks awsome Hump.....

NICE RIDE HUMP
YHOSE RHINO'S ARE TUFF AND AFTER HRR GETS HIS HANDS ON IT SHE WILL BE QUICK AS WELL.
