My wife, on the other hand, is suddenly presented with a whole new set of challenges she never had to deal with in California. She has expressed an interest in learning to ride an ATV, and I know they can be a tool even more valuable than a full-size vehicle here. I've seen people using them for EVERYTHING. They probably plow more snow in rural areas than trucks. People commute to work on them, hunt on them, take their families to church (believe it or not, they do!) on them.
I know very little about them though. She's a beginner, so weight and power should be a consideration. It must be four-wheel-drive, and capable of handling a snow plow. Other than that - I'm open to the expertise I've come to expect from this group.
What should I get her? I have a tax return burning the proverbial hole, and I'm determined to give her an ATV before I head back to the sandbox.
