Hello from Winnemucca Nevada

Hi from Winnemucca Nevada we are waiting on our 3rd Xpedition 5 seat xp Northstar grey and blue. We had a grey and blue 2 seat ultimate that my wife rolled and totaled then we bought a green 2 seat Northstar that I wrecked and put my in the hospital for 3 days with a broken c6 in my neck, fractured and pinned back together clavicle and broken left ring finger, also put my wife in the ICU for 2 weeks, then acute care for the traciotomy for 2 weeks and then had then 2 weeks for rehabilitation for a TBI brain injury. We went from a 2019 General 2 seater and the Xpedition definitely rides better

Is this all for real?

Yes, it's real. We started with 2019 General eps and traded it in on the heavy metal Xpedition. My wife went for a midnight drive up the mountain behind our house and coming home hit a washout with the right front tire and it took her off the edge and rolled a few times. It tossed our 15-year-old sheltie mix dog out the window and my wife was just a bit bruised. then we bought the Green NorthStar and made a 160-mile trip and was almost home and i was driving hit a corner a bit too fast and slid off the road and tumbled at least 8 times before coming to a rest on the roof. My wife was partly thrown out the back window her seatbelt retractor didn't catch and let her move out of the cab. her arms were stuck under the roof until our friends and her sister showed up and cut the belts to get us out. they had to winch the machine over a bit to get my wife's arms out from under it. she ended up with a TBI brain injury and was in a Coma for 2 weeks but spent a month and a half in the hospital. i spent 3 days after they pinned my collar bone back together and then I was by my wife's side the whole time she was in the Hospital. So Again, yes this was REAL!!!

Holy hell, you guys have been through it! Thankfully you are here to talk about it and props for sticking with it! Hopefully, the third time is a charm!

Just picked the 3rd machine up yesterday and took it for a 70 mile trip today and went and checked out where we wrecked the last one. Even found a few more sockets from my tool kit that had flown out. I will say this one with the quiet clutch weights and having the engine 2 feet farther back makes a huge difference in noise. And it doesn't feel like it's maxed out on rpm just cruising. All in all we love it

Glad to hear the new clutch and extra row of seats make a difference!

Glad you’re OK, and glad you feel better in the new machine, however…for Winnamucca that’s a Tuesday.
Giddyup Whoa back

Nice, Is there a difference in the interior sound between the XP and the ADV. Just curious if have in bed detached vs 1 piece makes and difference with the noise levels.

I don't know I haven't been in an ADV to compare. I will have to hop in with my buddy next time we go for a ride.
