Just about to pull the trigger on a new Viking. It will be our first side by side. Have quads, dirt bikes and trucks at our property. Believe it or not, it was my wife who suggested we get a side by side so she could follow me with our 2 year old son strapped in. I was stunned.

Our son loses his mind when there is a quad around and I think she was getting tired of holding him while taking him for endless rides. The plan is to strap a car seat in the Viking so he can watch me and my friends do stupid things on the bikes or trucks...

Of course, it will come in handy for me as well hauling wood and doing chores. Our property is purely for recreation, so I'm forever going around fixing things, cutting down trees and cleaning up trails. I have a feeling this is going to be a useful implement.

So far, I'm getting quotes on a green (has to match the Kodiak and Grizz) EPS Viking with front and rear bumper, winch and bed mat. Lowest price is just over $15000 CDN.

I'm looking forward to being part of this community and learning about our machines. I'm part of other outdoorsman and offroad type forums so I definitely know the value of shared knowledge!

Cheers!

Welcome fellow Canadian? It too was my wife that suggest 8 years ago to get our Rhino. She didn't want to stare at the back of my head. Best fun money we spent as we use our s x s way more then we would have imagined.

Sweet!

How much seat time have you had so far with it?

Got about 11 miles on it. 6 were just put on tonight. Still loving it. Actually the Outlaws aren't that bad in the snow. Not great but not that bad. I can live with them.

Not bad, how deep and packed is the snow where you're at?

 

[Tech Man]

About a foot and no base to it which is weird this year.

Um...81 degrees here yesterday . Sounds great but we are in a serious drought...they are talking water rationing . Even have a brush fire going in east county .

The viking is awesome! Some folks complain about little stuff but we've made some mods that work great. Loads of room and plenty of power. Great on fuel. We are enjoying NS and NB in it.

Wow, start importing some bottled water. Hope everything turns out ok. I know all to well how a fire can run on a landscape. Are they cutting fire breaks yet?

I agree 100%. So far I don't have a complaint, not even the noise....some people should have driven my old Rhino. That was LOUD!!!!!

The trigger has been pulled. Ended up going with a green, EPS unit. Front brush guard, rear bumper, Warn winch (synthetic) and bed mat. I won't get it for awhile though as our property is still snowed in. Just have to give the dealer a bit of notice and I can pick it up. Hopefully within a month.
