Found a cheap way to add a dome light. Walking around Harbor Frieght I found this light that has a swivel head. Attached it to the center under roof with some some heavy duty velcro. I'll see how it holds up on the trail, but works great! The swivel allows you to point the light anywhere in the cab and even towards the back of the bed.

Cool thing is, you can remove it from the swivel and use it as an emergency flashlight. The base stays on the ceiling.

Not a fan of the red color, but oh well.

I have a bike that shows on the plastic that its a Sportsman 425 Richard Petty edition. The model number sticker shows w958144 which online says that it is a 95 Polaris Magnum. Which do I have?

I have a 2001 Polaris trailblazer 250. Throttle cuts out when it leaves the ground. Is this some type of safety switch? It seems like it’s cutting out electronically, doesn’t sound like a bog. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have any experience using a 330 Trail Boss in the sand like Silver Lake MI. I have standard tires, any suggestions?

Finally we got organized for our first ride of the season. Last week we drove two hours only to find Rollings Pass West at Winter Park was still closed. We don't know why it was, maybe snow.

This week my buddies took me to Red Cone - Webster Pass. They said I needed my Red Cone merit badge. Great. Red Cone Mountain is rather famous around here as it is a narrow trail along the ridge of the mountain with very steep drop off in both directions. Ride the "hogback". And then there is a very steep downhill trail off the mountain that has a lot of loose gravel on it. They guaranteed me I will slide some and I need to tickle the throttle to keep the wheels turning for better control less me and my and my Can Am roll down the mountain. So after instilling some nightmares in me, we took off for Red Cone last Friday.

I grates on me to have to drive a "low maintenance" Forest Service road to the staging area that would be much better suited for an ATV. But the government says no. I beat the heck out of my pickup and ATV trailer up these rough roads to the spot where someone says ATVs are now legal. Stupid in my view. I just don't get it.

We road about 45 minutes up a "moderate" trail only to see a big, black cloud appear over the mountain. We put our rain gear on and pressed on regardless. First rain, then hail, and then lightening. We decided to turn around as the lightening is dangerous, and the trail was slick with wet. Temps dropped to 40f. We were wet and cold. I could see my buddy's machine in front of me slip down on rain slick rocks. Mountain weather can turn for the worse quickly.

So no Red Cone merit badge for me this trip. I'm not sure a "black diamond" trail is wise for this rookie on his first ride of the season. A guy has to get acclimated to the dynamics of his machine with some practice it seems to me. But my buddies are "jump in the deep end" type of guys. I can't wimp out on them.
