I am from N. MN. It freezes here during deer season. When you break thru thin ice getting to your stand, and then park it while you are hunting, drum brakes freeze. Triple sealed drum brakes freeze so solid you have to skid the machine to someplace warm to thaw them out. If they are not leaking now give them time. They will. It is hard to believe a co. like Honda would design a machine as advanced as the Rincon and then use drum brakes. All of the other new top line machines that are coming out have disc brakes or even better, internal brakes like the new Kawa Prairie. Honda could have done better. Honda Rincon both the best and the worst new ATV of the year at the same time.

    Was your way today but didn't go thru Mt. Airy at the right time to stop. Ya'll are sure greening up down that way and the groundhogs were out everywhere!! Just didn't think it to be a good idea to stop and lay the xp over the guardrail on 77 and whack one!!

    Smart move on your part. I work just outside elkin n.c. and use to travel on 77 but I gave up, too much road work. They are now working around the Jonesville exit which i believe is around exit 83. I HOPE YOU DO NOT HAVE TRAVEL IN THAT AREA,IF YOU DO, BE CAREFUL. P.S. MY TYPING LEAVES A LOT TO BE DESIRED CANNOT SEEM TO KEEP THE CAPS KEY IN CHECK.

    You're right about the road work!! When I came down today traffic was almost stopped north bound at Elkin!! I had to go to Taylorsville then Yadkinville and I just ran 601 up to Dobson to miss the stoppage northbound!! I'll let you know next time I'm coming thru maybe we can shoot something!! GHD

    Jeez, what a flashback. I had a good friend in the Army who was from up around Mt. Airy, N.C. Hadn't heard that town mentioned in over 30 years. This guy told me he lived just up the road from the old Nascar racer/builder/owner Junior Johnson. My old friend's name is Carl "Ricky" Helton. Anybody ever heard of him?
