Desert Hawk

In the last five years I've had the pleasure to ride what
I believe is one of the finest ATV's My '05 'Desert Edition'
Honda Rubicon. From the desert flats in 100° heat to elevations
of 10,000ft, in temps of 19° Through boulder infested dried up
river beds and wash's and a occasional run in fender deep snow
not once did I have to walk or be towed back to camp !

This has allowed me to rack up 9,200 issue free miles and the
opportunity to ride and meet with some fantastic people across
the state of Arizona and points beyond...it's been a most excellent
adventure to say the least.

At this point in my life I have come to the reality that I'm not as
young as I once was and the need for an IRS suspension was becoming
more attractive after a long day of exploring in the desert southwest.

So I'd like to present My 2009 "Desert Hawk" Edition Rincon





My goal for this unit was to have all of the thing's that made the Ruby
the ultimate (for me) ATV with just a bit more snort and a cushy ride.
With this idea and information I've read on all of the site's I visit
I do believe my goal has been accomplished !

Nothing like this can be achieved with out some help so I'd like to
give a shout out to the Staff of Coyote Honda in Avondale, AZ.
ARIZONA'S LEVEL 5 Honda Powerhouse Dealer.


Left to Right Parts Manager Matt Service Manager John, And Master Technician
Dave who kept the Ruby in top running condition since 2005.

This will be the last time I'll ever see this on the Rincon !

Time to get it dirty. The only thing that would have made it better is if Honda would have added power steering to them. A long hard day on the trails and you would have noticed the difference. Might need a camo cover for the fuel pack.

that front bumper looks mean!

QUOTE (2foremen @ Jan 28 2010, 11:25 AM) traded it in, they had someone in mind for it went a whole week without a ride
got a bit more and saved some on the tax
