I`m glad someone is having decent weather Steve, I know we won`t for at least another 5 months.

Howdy Nova Scotia, Morris and all who peer in here.. It was another nice day here.. Went to the barber's on the Harley.. Didn't want to waste the day and I really needed a haircut.

With riding weather so far away for me I picked up another quad, this time it`s a Polaris 850 with mudder tires and it goes really well in the snow!
This the seller`s picture from last summer.

Good looking Quad Morris.. I got rid of my quad after I picked up the Shadow.. I had a Suzuki Vinson 500.

I like it Steve but the drive belt went south after 2 miles, doesn`t look like it`ll be a lot of fun to replace as the quad seems to be built around it.
I`m keeping my 700 Suzuki quad for a while to see how I like the Polaris once I get more seat time, it is more of a challenge to drive because of it`s extra weight but the mudder tires maybe a big part of that. They certainly are great in snow.

Sweet, someday I would like to get one but for now my 850 quad will do. Is theirs a 1000? I`m not sure on what models are out there.

I think it is and their quad is rather large as well.

So how are you doing Morris?? Haven't inquired in a while..

My 850 Polaris is a tank compared to my 700 Suzuki, not sure which I like better so I`m not selling my Suzuki for a while yet.
I`m doing fine, getting ready for winter to return after a really warm 4 days and nites. Fog advisory for Saskatoon and much of Sask. followed by freezing rain - Saskatoon | Globalnews.ca
How about you, getting ready for Christmas? I`ve still got lots more to do and hope that by Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday at the latest we get most of it done.

If you can afford it, you might want to keep both.. I hope to have my Christmas done by Monday.. I don't give presents anymore, just cash, the gift they love to exchange.

I am doing well.. Still working and pretty much enjoying it..

For now I will keep both and likely decide by mid summer, so far it seems that they are very different breeds the Suzuki is like a fleet footed racehorse and the Polaris is more like a Clydesdale. The mudder tires on the Polaris may have a big bearing on how it handles tho.
Great to hear you`re doing well, life is good for me too.

Exactly but my Honda Shadow maybe for sale next summer, I find I ride my quads more often than it.
