A quick update...

I haven't posted in a while, I know. But there really hasn't been much to say lately.
I read or heard somewhere once that Can-Am machines were built to play first and work second. Unfortunately for us the last month or so, we have been doing a lot of the second.

That isn't to say I haven't enjoyed our Outlander at all. Even when it is being used to check fences or haul wagons to and fro, it is a wonderful quad to ride. Austin claims that the air suspension feature is even more useful for pulling wagons than it is for riding double. He hooks up the wagon, and then adjusts the suspension so that the back end is level with the front, then the wagon pulls nice and smooth. Not to mention POWERFUL. Austin hooked it up to a pair of wagons that were half full of grain. Thousands of pounds of weight, and it hauled it right up the hill to the house. Ah. Harvest time on the farm.

There will be a post coming (quite soon I hope) about the awesome OGIO bag we bought for our Outlander. I kept putting off writing it, because I wanted to take pictures of the bag on our quad, and out quad is kinda  a mess. Oh well. I'm tired of waiting for a semi warm day to wash it. It will just have to be muddy.

Oh yeah. One other thing. Our quad has been throwing a weird code. It seems if you turn it on and don't immediately give it some gas it will shut itself off. What's up with that?
