Thumbs up 4 wheeling trip

Got the opportunity to really wring out a Honda Foreman 450 (I believe it was an '03 model) about a week ago, and I was really impressed. Did some long-distance trail riding, and went through some really hairy stuff. Handled sand, mud bogs, creeks, hills, downed trees, etc. without a hiccup. Put 110 miles on it in one day, about 40 the next, no issues. Decent gound clearance, speed wasn't super, but it's a utility quad, and it did as well as I would have guessed (speedo registered 49 once). The push-button switch between 2 and 4-wheel drive was nice, and came in handy a few times. All in all, I really enjoyed the trip, and came away with a lot of respect for the machine.
