New ATV!

We went camping over the weekend and I got to try out my new ATV! It's a Sportsman 500 with the two-up seat. So it's great for taking Sydney riding with me.

When Ted and I were first married I would just use whatever machine we had available at the time, which for me was like learning to ride all over again each time we went out. I finally told Ted that I needed just one bike that I could get used to riding. So in 2004 I got the anniversary edition Sportsman 500 which I loved! I would also say that my riding skills have improved over the years. There is definently a comfort level that comes with being on a familiar machine. Well at our last ATV club ride/camping trip (April or May) we got ready to unload on Saturday morning and my ATV would not start (some electrical problem). Needless to say Ted took a lot of crap that day for not being able to keep his wife's machine running. So I guess he decided it was time for a new one.

Now I'm back to learning how to ride a new machine, I only hope it will be as good as my last one and from my first ride it was great!

This picture was taken aafter the camping trip and Ted even washed it. I wanted a picture on the trail, but by the time we got there it was so dusty you couldn't tell what color it was.
