Nice Brute. I like your photos. Glad to see you also like taking photos of the wheelers. That snow sure is deep, though.
One of my all time favorite rides.

Here's my 2011 Prairie 360. Similar color. Adventure Blue, only on Prairie 360 for 2011 model year. I bought this one used-May of 2016. Spontaneous decision. Was couple states away in my company pickup-passed the Kawi dealer on the way out of town-I spot this one in front of the store. I thought, "Hey, an Adventure Blue Prairie, better turn around". One owner, bought new at that dealer, traded back for a Brute 750. 315 miles and 33 hrs when I bought him. Half hour later he was in the back of my truck. Was nice to begin with, but I spent 3 weekends getting him the way I like them-(we are waiting still for an invite to Pebble Beach)-and then took him on this ride to Glendo Lake:

I may as well do some further damage to my reputation with these.....This is last September on a ride at Guernsey Lake. This one is my baby. 2008 Sunbeam Red. A 360B model-just 4X2. I bought new Dec 3, 2007 and other than the dealer riding him into the back of my truck, I am the only one who has ever been on this wheeler for 13 years now.

I get some grief for being into Prairie 360's. But I really like them. I love riding them and really enjoy taking care of them. My truck that hauls the wheelers is a 95 F150 Reg Cab shortbed and P360's fit perfectly with the tailgate up. Wasn't sure what to use on the Camo one I just got Jan 6th. I paste wax these, but I don't think a Camo wants that.

Never seen this app before. It's great.
I'll give Camo a shot and that's it because he's not very interesting just hanging out in the garage. He was also basically just stored away. 2011 model. Built 9/15/10 at Lincoln. In service 11/26/10. Was the grand prize in a sweepstake by a plumbing supply company in KS. Winner had no use for him, just put him away. Sold or traded him to a young guy in western KS who also just stored him away, then traded him to a dealer in Hays for a SxS. Dealer calls his best friend/ next door neighbor and says come see this one. So that guy buys him and basically stores him away, too. He used him once in a while to pull some lawn accessory on his 2 acre place and once a year to string up Christmas lights. He said all the new vehicle tags were still on the wheeler when he bought him, and the dealer had to clean the carb because Camo hadn't been run. I asked him about the tool kit and he didn't even know there was a tool box back there. He'd never seen the drain hose to drain the carb bowl. Virtually everything on him is still factory virgin. Hard to find a bolt or screw that has seen a socket or screwdriver. This guy had him for just under 6 years and estimated maybe 28 hrs and 120 miles, if that. I didn't like the idea of more than 1 owner, but then thought, well, what if 2 of those owners never even rode him and the third only very little. Went and got the WY title and registration today so he can bust out of the garage soon.

Woah. Nice one. That guy would be a blast on sand dunes. Two stroke?
Team Green. I sold this KFX back in 2010 for a good friend.
I never did get to ride it but it sure sounded cool.
The 11's were outside today....for 15 minutes, anyway. Finally thawing out, but they still can't go anywhere because now it's sloppy. (Actually I suppose they don't get dirty riding in deep snow, but how do you avoid water all over the floor when they come back in?)
These 2 were born just a few weeks apart. Kawie (blue one) was built 08/02/2010 while Camo was built 09/15/2010, but Camo was in service 11/26/10, while Kawie didn't get sold until 04/08/2011. Their tires are dated the same week. All of my Kawasaki's were built before their model year.

Is it fairly necessary for them to have groomed it in order to have a good ride-do you run snow tires on your 700? 360's weigh in at about 610 and I'm thinking 360's might struggle in deep, loose snow.
I enjoy the drive over 35. This was the last trip over for the season and snowmobiles had already been up.
