2012 Kawasaki Teryx4 750 4x4 EPS LE
MSRP: $15,199 –Sunrise Yellow/Aztec Red
Over the past several months, the 2012 Kawasaki Teryx4 750 4x4 EPS LE has served me well as a steadfast adventure rig. Racking up about 300 miles on the odometer, I’ve used the Teryx4 to cart my kids and gear on several epic fishing adventures; I transported my parents and son on some outrageously technical trails that made my Mom swear at me; and I utilized the Teryx4 to handle various yard chores with my M101 military trailer in tow.

With some basic knowledge and a little bit of patience, loading and unloading should be quick and easy.
All of the steps below should be done with the assumption that the trailer is safely hitched to your tow vehicle and the emergency brake on the tow vehicle is engaged. [ Read Full Post ]
The rise of fishing kayaks coincides with last decade’s spike in oil prices. In 2000, you’d have had better luck spotting a mermaid than a fishing kayak. Now, they’re a common sight. Many converts credit the expense of operating a motorboat as the impetus for joining the kayak navy. But that’s not the only reason to grab a paddle. Even a 10-pound fish can haul a kayak around. The fight from a kayak is a completely different adrenaline rush (as in: way more intense). You’re also fishing in tight quarters, paddling out of reach of motorboats and shore fishermen to where the trophy fish often lurk. [ Read Full Post ]
A few weeks ago we posted a blog of a human slingshot powered by a 4-wheeler. Here is another amazing example of how to test the durability of your friend’s bones with a quad. [ Read Full Post ]
In June, 2009 the All-Terrain Vehicle Association of Minnesota in Silver Bay, Minnesota set the record for the largest parade of quadbikes (ATVs). That record was demolished a few months later by the Rocky Mountain ATV Jamboree in Richfield, Utah with a total of 1,870 machines. [ Read Full Post ]
