Used to be a couple good steak places in downtown Billings with a good beer list and some local brews from up by Great Falls.

Now that you bring it up, they do still make it, but it is no longer brewed in Montana.

Honda Foreman 450 ES here. Last weekend I had the spot sprayer on and cruised the pasture spraying thistles. It goes hunting every fall. Saves me a lot of walking the rest of time or keeps my pickup out of the cactus. You don't realize how handy they are until you get one.

03 Kawasaki 650 Prairie. The thing is a beast. My buddy just bought a brand new Polaris 550 efi, I kicked his ass in a race. I use it for fun and also take it to my shop, we plow our parking lot with it and use it to tow cars into the shop. My kids love it so much, I may buy them one too.

98 600 Polaris now, but needs a new front tire. Hopefully will have it replaced & tuned up by the time it gets warm again

You need to drag that bad boy up to Cooke and we will hook up this summer.

I've been thinking about it. Just bought me a 94 Exploder, only 75,000 miles on it, but need to find a trailer for it.

Hopefully it'll warm up by the first of July and we can hook up for a weekend of debauchery

Yeah, we used to have everyone in the shop, stop what they were doing and come out and help push. With this baby, it just takes two of us. It will pull a loaded down 1ton right into the bays. Nice that you have the preacher though. He can bless the problem child vehicles. Hehe.

They make car pushers. We have a 10,000lb pusher, runs on 6 marine batteries, that thing has saved our lives. I think he paid 6k for it.

When I had my farm and Angora goats, I had 2 Honda 250's. Used them for a little of everything from rounding up goats to getting the mail. I lived in the middle of 150 acres so it was 1/4 mile to the nearest road in all directions.

I had no idea you had a farm at one point, cool beans.

You've seen me in action. I ride kind of like I golf; slow, methodical and usually as a means to an end more out of enjoyment.

Except when you are coming out of Goose Lake on a nasty boulder hill.
