Lisa’s ATV

We got the 4-wheeler out of the shop today. They cleaned the carb and drained all the old fuel out. While it was in there I had them do a full service job on it. Oil and gear lube change among other things. The mechanic said everything was fine and in great shape except for where the mice chewed on the wires. We knew about that and had fixed one wire. There were three others. They don’t see a lot of 11 year old bikes in there with only 122 hours on them.

DSCF5127 A 2000 Honda Foreman 450ES. If she can’t live with the red she can always paint it.

DSCF5124 It fits nicely behind the Kia in the garage.

DSCF5132 476 miles and 122 hours. If you do the math, that’s an average speed of 3.88 mph, so I’m thinking Randy and Rena didn’t drive the hell out of it much. It even still has that new ATV smell.

DSCF5133 I had to drive it around the property, of course. The weed is from the creek. No sweat getting through the creek, by the way. It is powerful and quiet, Lisa is going to have fun with it. I did get it up a little above 3.88 mph during my test drive.
