Breaking in my new '08 Honda Rancher

[Udink]

So, I got my new Rancher the other day, and took it for a spin yesterday. I rode about 25 miles from Price, through Kenilworth, to Helper, then back to Price. I checked out a couple of old building foundations near Kenilworth, probably built in the early 1900s when the coal boom was getting started. I lived in Kenilworth for the first ten years of my life and never saw these old buildings before, but I spotted them in Google Earth recently and decided to check them out. I managed to find some mud on the trail, and it felt bad getting a brand new machine so dirty, but it was kinda fun too.

Honda guy, through and through, eh?

Glad you were able to secure a replacement machine.

Honda guy, through and through, eh?

Yeah, I suppose so. I'm not really a die-hard Honda guy, but I did a lot of research before deciding on what to get, and in that price range Honda has the biggest bang for the buck. It gets tougher to choose a clear winner when you're looking at the bigger, more expensive machines though.

Looks like fun man, and nothing like getting the new machine dirty on the first ride.
