My UTV
Utility Task Vehicle / Ultimate Terrain Vehicle
__________________________________
I had a Polaris Ace 570cc for some time, but soon had to realize that such a single cylinder with only 45 hp
Is not the right thing for me here in Europe...
..........................................................................................................................................
Now I have the Twin Cylinder 900cc Polaris ACE with much more hp.
It is one of the very few in Europe and as far as I know it's one of only two road legal and registered in Germany.
It's actually the same chassis as the 570cc, but with a bigger 2-cylinder engine and a much better suspension.
A UTV is nice to ride but not every day on the street.
It has to much wear and tear on the road, these machines are made for gravel and dirt ...
That's why I bought a used motorcycle again for daily use! This makes more sense, the Ace is therefore only driven from time to time.
A UTV makes more sense to drive in Alaska or the Yukon where there is enough terrain !
Time to think whether I'll keep the ACE or sell it, let's see...
Because of the illness of my mother and my brother I will not be able to go on expeditions in the coming years, that's why I bought a UTV.
With my UTV I can break out of the dreary everyday life here at least from time to time... ;)
It`s not a rally UTV but a small fun mobile.
For the veryday drive I use a Triumph Tiger 900 now
This UTV
is way too much fun...
I will convert my UTV completely too my personal needs, as I have done with all my vehicles, just for the fun of it!
I installed a higher air intake !
There were no parts for it in Europe, so I had some made !
Thanks to Tim Ostrowski PrintOmat3D in Haltern am See for the great 3 D work.
And thanks to TBW Automotive
Thomas Wienker in Coesfeld.
Maxxis Ceros tires are the way to go on tarmac & gravel here in Germany !
More to come...
Only those who risk going too far, will discover how far they can go!
Expedition in USA, Alaska & Canada, Scandinavia with folding boat, motorboat, catamaran, motorcycle, off-road vehicle, bicycle ...
