I’m Roger from a small beach town in New Zealand ~ Foxton Beach (west coast North Island near Palmerston North). I’m 67 years old, retired lecturer in Control Systems, ex electrician and Control Systems Engineer in the petrochemical field and have just changed to my first Can-Am from a Yamaha Big Bear YFM350.
My ride is a basic 2009 Outlander 400EFI and like all used vehicles, requires several little jobs to bring it up to perfection. I’ve downloaded the service manual and will use that, of course. I’m hoping to tap into the combined knowledge of this group to learn and achieve more and down the line, hopefully contribute anything that I can add where useful.
My beach has approx 20km of flat sand up the coast and like all such beaches, is a real joy ride along the shoreline. I love the sea and was a surfer for 20+ years until a back injury stopped that.
I’ve only had the Can-Am a few days and my first impression is that it’s damn scary! LOL. So much oomph compared to the Yammie. :yahoo:
My other hobby is music and I’ve played in bands since 1960. I’m mainly into oldies rock and roll and I play bass, keyboards, guitar and sing. These days I also play country at local music clubs.
Please excuse an old man if I ask stupid questions….
