Another ATV

Last summer I bought a new side-by-side ATV.  This was a Honda Pioneer 700-4.  It was stored at my shop through last year and we finally were able to take it out to Nordegg this past spring.  The first couple of trips we hauled it back and forth on the flat deck trailer that belongs to my company.  But,  since then we have arranged to store it at a compound in the Industrial District in Nordegg.  Eventually once the garage at our property is closed in, we will move it there.
This ATV is great and we really like it.  It seats two in the front seat, and has two additional convertible seats in the back.  We can either use the back cargo box for gear, or flip up these seats for two additional passengers.  But even at that, we can only fit in four of us... and there are five in our family.  So I recently bought a second side-by-side ATV.  This second unit is a smaller Honda Pioneer 500.  It is small enough that we can fit it in the back of my truck if we want to haul it somewhere, and don't need a trailer.  It seats two side by side, with a cargo rack on the back.  Between the two units we will now be able to go out trail riding with the entire family, and still bring along some gear... or a guest.  With all the ATV trails that we are discovering in the Nordegg area, this will be great.  We hope to take this new one out for a test drive the next time we head out there.
