This past Saturday I bought a new 2016 Polaris Sportsman 450 HO. It is not only my first Polaris, but also my first AWD ATV. Back in the day I had a Suzuki LT250R race quad and a little Yamaha 200 Blaster. But I am really looking forward to getting some time on this 450 on the trails. Future plans include winch, grip heaters, thumb warmer, hand guards, rear box, and a plow.

I live about an hour SE of Pittsburgh PA and have been riding off-road motorcycles for 35 years. But I am a total newb when it comes to ATV. This seems like a great place to learn and hang out. I work as an Electrical Engineer, probably spend as much time shooting archery as I do enjoying motorcycles and now ATV’s. My wife also rides.

Well just wanted to say hey and give a short intro. Here is the Sportsman 450HO when I first brought it home.
