Looking for a bullet proof ATV?

 I've owned a Susuki 450 ATV since 2008, I have almost 12000 kms on it, plough snow with it, ride the trails, haul firewood, hunt, fish and explore the trails throughout Ontario. Our family in total owns 5 Suzuki ATV's; they all have been very reliable machines. Now getting back to the one I own; lets talk about what I've had to do to it. I just replaced the belt, even though after everything I've put it through wasn't necessary.  Suzuki's do not eat belts like other machines, due to their unique clutch system and the way it works. I have had to replace the starter twice, which is an easy fix, one new battery and changed the oil, and front and rear diff oils. That's it.....which with the abuse this machine has taken is amazing. I will definitely be purchasing another Suzuki in the near future.

ATV'ing Apsley Style







Well I spent a full day on the trails around Apsley/Coe Hill; don't ask me where I was after the first fifteen minutes I didn't know north south east or west. I was with some locals who knew basically where they were.........within a tanks distance of Coe Hill. Thank God we had a GPS and some trail maps. The maze of roads trails yadda yadda.........194 kilometres later we were home. A couple of beers, some steak potatoes and more suds..................snooze time. It was one of those experiences you never forget, the trees were starting to turn, the weather was not too hot, the trails not too dusty, and the scenery and views were awesome. if you want to see some back country be sure to check it out...........don't forget your GPS, some maps, extra fuel and some snacks.........and don't go by yourself, its always nice to have someone there in case you break down or get stuck........
