What kind of toy do you have and what do you use it for?

**Iowanian** · 06-09-2009, 04:09 PM

The price is right.....maybe you should throw in your bow fishing rig and come to Iowania and pick it up.

How do you like the power steering. The one I pick up Friday has power steering. I test drove one at the local dealer on their trail they made to test drive. I was catching good air and he came out all butt hurt about it. I told him that he was a limp nipple and I bought my machine at another dealership.

I was going to say Montana is nice and green this time of year and I have an extra ATV you could ride while you were here.

I pick it up next Monday. I have farmer buddies in Nebraska who say its the best thing ever. I haul a lot of weight on mine so it should be an improvement. New one is green. The old 450 was camo and the camo wont hold up, it fades and looks like crap in 4 years.

**Iowanian** · 06-09-2009, 04:12 PM

I wish I had the time to do just that. Too many irons in too many fires.

Someday.

Bow fishing would be good but I find a 22 will kill grass carp nicely

Let me know when it slows down. There's always some fat steaks around here and the shop beer fridge is always full of beer.

They drink Grain Belt in Montana. If you go take a bit of stach from home....

I don't know about "they" but I like Alaskan Amber, Teton Ale and Red Hook ESB myself. As far as I know, they haven't brewed that in years and to be honest, in my vast beer sampling to find the perfect beverage, I have never had one.

Well they still make it...and you need one. It will establish a good base...a foundation. All beer is better than Grain belt.

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.

He kept seizing the engine because he didn’t know how to let off the throttle when it over revved.

Yeah me too. Except my friend's run on alcohol. It wasn't much to look at but was faster than shit. He had a couple records down in California @ Glamis Dunes for going up hill. The guys' he run with have radar detectors & everything.

Honda plastic & I can't remember what motor it was.

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.
