Lots of bayous!
Hopefully we can get a babysitter and Ali can go on her first ride......................
I'm gonna get that 850 in front of her, and spray my loving wife with as much mud as these stock tires will spit at her!

LONG READ BUT WORTH IT I THINK
So, Me my wife and my neighbor on his Raptor take off on my wife's first ride since Hawaii. We deceid we will break her in at a quarey off bear creek park. Upon entering one of the popular spots we see two sport quads stuck. I drive down and ask if i should pull from the front or go around behind them and pull that way.
They don't speak english so I roll around to get'em from the rear (no pun intended). So I pic a spot that has some sport quad tracs............................... WRONG! I get 3 feet in and it sinks to the frame. I yell to my wife and friend to come and get me.
I step off and sink to my thigh............................ to my flippin thigh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the nasties stuff I've ever been in. CLAY or BABY POOOOO. So we only brought out a nylon rope and 2 half inch ratchet straps, the ratchet straps all broke. I went back and got some boat moring lines and a come along. We tried the rope and yanking on it, we parked the 550 on a hill and tried to come along it out, foreward................. It moved but we ran out of rope and come along, we tried to reposition the bike but it would never bit again, just kept pulling the 550.....
We tried to yank on it again and it stuck the 550..............
Thats when the Hondas show up! So two guys on honda 500's show up, they go and get 100' of chain and pull the 550 out. All the while, telling me I need to buy Honda's.................. The Hondas could'nt even break the tires loose...... So we pull out the 550. My buddy gets it stuck again.... pull it out again......... blah blah blag polaris sucks this blah blah blah.
So we try to pull on the 850, 9 ways to sunday...........NOTHING!
I get my buddy and his K5 blazer we move it, backing out half way. We have the chain tied to the grab bar. He asks me, Hey can I yank on it, hard? I tell him, Hey Hoss this m'fer is American and that grab bar is tied to the frame yank on it!!! So he does and it rips the back of the 4 wheeler off LOL! SO THE GRAB BAR ISN'T TIED IN THE FLIPPIN FRAME! SEE PICS
His friend comes out with a jeep and a 10,000 lb winch. We begin to winch on it and it pulls the jeep to the quad!!!!!!!!!!! So we hook the K5 to the jeep and it begins to pull the quad with the winch. We had to stop twice to cool the winch off! And it came out!
All through this I had been digging it out A BUNCH! must have moved hundereds of pounds of mud trying to get this thing out! There was so much mud still on it that I couldn't clean it off......... SEE PICS! So I've left it, and my buddy is going to drop off the pressure washer infront of my truck so I can clean it off...... THERE IS MUD/ CLAY/ BABY STUFF EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!
I WISH I HAD PICS IN THE MUD, I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE SUCK LIKE THIS! I WAS SO TIRED THAT I COULDN'T WALK IN THE MUD, COULDN'T GET MY LEGS OUT OF THE MUD, HAD TO CRAWL OUT. HECK I CAN BARELY TYPE THIS...............
Hope Y'all enjoyed the read! heres the pics of us after we got home MUD PEOPLE!
