2006 Honda Foreman 500S
OK, you are probably thinking, what in the world would possess a 40-something year old woman to even want an ATV, much less put it on her list of things she can not live without. The answer is simple, it allows me to spend more time with my family and spend more time outdoors. You see, my family and I are what you could call ATV enthusiasts. We enjoy trail riding and mud riding on our ATVs. We do not do any of the speed sports; all our ATVs are 4-wheel drive and are not ridden fast. Until I got my Honda Foreman 500S, I had to ride with my husband on his Honda Foreman 450S. Now, momma has her own ride and is enjoying every minute of it.
Now, let me tell you about my 2006 Honda Foreman 500S. The “broom” as it is fondly known, which is another story, has yellow plastic and has 28-inch Swamp Witch tires, mounted on factory wheels. It also has an intake snorkel and yellow Highlifter springs. Just for kicks and good luck, it has a witch that is zip-tied to the snorkel. Hopefully, it will soon have Douglas Rattlesnake wheels.
My Honda Foreman 500S gets more use than just being ridden on the trails. It is also my yard machine. I use it, along with my wagon, to clean up my yard. It works great when I am trimming my trees and cleaning the yard. It is even used to carry the trash cans to the road so the trash truck can pickup the trash.
My favorite time spent riding my Honda Foreman 500S is when I spend several days camping out and trail riding with my family and/or with friends. These weekends are great as we spend quality time together doing things we all enjoy doing; spending time outdoors and riding our ATVs.
My Honda Foreman 500S is on my list of “Things I own that I can’t live without” because of the independence is allows me to have, either on the trail or just around the house. Either place it is awesome, just ask the kids, they ride it whenever they can, and they both have their own ATVs. But, the greatest thing about having this ATV is the thought that went into buying it by my family before I received it. That means more than anything.
