Sportsmans Float

So yesterday I`m out on a ride. Come to a large creek/small river. Start going across, water comes over my front rack. Put it in reverse, quad dies. I stand on my front rack pull my winch cable and throw it across the creek. Walk through the water witch was up to my chest and hook it to a tree. Walk back to my quad and start winching it across. Of course the battery croaks. For craps and giggle I try pulling on the line. Here comes my quad tires not even touching the bottom of the creek. Pull off the air box lid, full of water. Disconnected the box, pulled the plug that was soaked. Put in my spare plug hooked up the air box one pull started right up. Road home soaked but had a real interesting time, and my quad is real clean now. Moral of the story is Sportsmans float just not with me on them. haha

Sure they float...UPSIDEDOWN if the water is deep enough!! You want some real laughs check out the youtube videos of sportsmans in water. I saw one a while back where some (apparently intoxicated) polaris fans made a ramp with 2x4's and backed an 800 in the swimming pool and then drove it back out!......REMARKABLE!!!

There are so many things wrong with that, I don't know where to begin. All I can say; Nice!

Seriously I don't get it at all. If you want a boat buy one. Quads are not boats even for rednecks. Get a fuking life. What idiots and they breed is the scary thing. No wonder so many voted for Obama if they were around these rednecks.
