Another hot day here below!  We were almost ready to sell the RZR because of heat and dust. I read recently how removing the windshield might help. So I took it off and put the half one on but had to raise it up about 4” above the hood due to the glass w/s brackets. I headed up to go up Cushman. It was better right away concerning dust. But, still hot but it was a hot day anyway. Once on Cushman I decided to take the halfer off. Strapped it on the bag in back and noticed an immediate difference. Sure there was wind in my eyes but I’d have that from the sides anyway. So I rode on up and went over to the Dry Creek overlook, then on up to the top. It clouded up and was very nice. That road has really gotten rough though. Lots of loose big rocks going up onto Cushman. At the end I wondered about the trail from Cushman over to Transfer. It’s always been too nasty for me to try. I decided to walk down it and up the other side to see for sure as it looked well traveled. The Transfer side is very very steep at the beginning but looked doable. So, over I went and had no problems. I hit the throttle pretty hard for that first part and only felt the front end getting light but not leaving the ground. Once on Transfer it started to rain so I put on my raincoat and pants. It never did rain hard, but it sure blew and thundered a lot. Zipped back down Transfer and got to load up in a steady light rain. All in all a great day. We will keep the RZR for now. I’m getting better at keeping it from freewheeling too, which is good of course. Iphone
