They most have some pretty nice trails down here to get that kind of miles.


Met an older gentleman a few years ago who used a Honda Foreman on his farm. It looked very well used, plastic cracked and parts missing, seat upholstery torn up, bald tires etc. Odometer showed almost 40k miles. Aside from brakes, tires, batteries and a clutch, he said it was all pretty much original.


To anger a conservative, lie to him. To annoy a liberal, tell him the truth.
