It's That Time Again
Well, it's been a fast 8 years since I posted this thread. Quite a relationship developed between me, my special puppies and the 2011 RTV. I was almost teary eyed this morning as the 2011 RTV 900 xt was loaded up and went to a new home. With 4,170 hours running like a new one- she had aged very gracefully.
It was time though, I made a commitment to sell when the machinery approached 4,200 hrs way back and stuck to it. She's off to her new home but doubt she will be treated as I treated her but do think she will perform well in her "retirement home". She'll be shuffling an elderly man to check his cows and will help keep him going with his bad eyesight and bad hip. It should be perfect for him- easy on and easy off, slow speeds so won't getting on and off won't be such a problem. He just couldn't swing the atv anymore he said.
I changed all the fluids and filters( all oem) , greased the ujoints and shifting bushings washed her and put in a new radio and a new seat cover ( that is stapled on($80) too. )
I can still see Belle my late, loyal BC ( still in my avatar laying down) sleeping quietly on the floorboard, as I worked on the fence and other projects. Dixie, my recent 2 year old puppy child also loves the RTV but is high strung. Ya'll old members remember when border collie Belle tried to drive the RTV and went into the ditch. That memory always makes me nostalgic ....
