Jay's 2005 Honda Rincon
So after we figured out that the place we were moving to had a nice garage and was in a small rural town that has a bunch of trails to ride on I decided that it was time to get a new toy. I did lots of research and decided on Honda's flagship ATV, the Rincon. It has 4-wheel independent suspension, a 650cc 4-stroke engine, selectable 2wd/4wd, digital speedometer and a 3-speed Hondamatic transmission with push button shift. So far I have ridden it a few times back in NH on the trails that I grew up riding on, the thing rides like an SUV! I will be adding pictures as I get out more and more on it and add more accessories. Enjoy the pics.
08.05.2004: Kevin and I started the break-in at the Success Pond Trail in Berlin, NH
08.22.2004: Gregg, my father and I hit the Success Pond Trail in Berlin, NH and then the Mt. Washington Auto Road
10.22.2004: Kevin, Sean, Gregg and I checked out the trails that the NCATV club maintains in North Stratford, NH, cut short by a flat tire
10.30.2004: Lisa got me new tires for my birthday, what more could a guy want?
11.07.2004: Gregg and I rode the new NDATV club trails in New Durham, NH and put the new tires to the test!
11.11.2004: Gregg and I hit the NCATV club trails one last time for the year, there was already snow on the ground!
11.20.2004: I put in a very low bid on a Warn front bumper and actually won, check it out
12.26.2004: The holidays were very kind to the me and the Rincon, we got a cover and a Warn 2.5ci winch with synthetic cable and billet fairlead
03.01.2005: The hawse fairlead started to fray the synthetic cable the first time I tested it so I replaced it with the rollers and also installed a RAM mount for my Garmin 60CS GPS, summer will be here soon!
03.21.2005: An HMF Utility Series pipe, K&N Filter, and Dynojet jet kit are on the way, as soon as it warms up a bit we'll get it installed and tuned, can't wait to see the power increase and hear the pipe!
04.23.2005: Got the pipe, filter and jet kit installed but the Quiet-Core insert for the pipe hasn't showed up yet. I got it started but not tuned, that pipe is really loud!!
05.29.2005: Gregg and I rode the NCATV trails for the first time of the season. Everything is installed and tested out, just needs a little more tuning to be perfect!!
07.22.2005: The pipe is back to stock and thought it was tuned, overheating but had a great ride at Success Pond with Eric, up Mount Washington for a sunset ride too, didn't see much sunset in the rain though!!
09.04.2005: Lisa and I were able to borrow Kevin's truck and take the Rincon and the Foreman 400 up Mt. Washington, she loved it!!
10.01.2005: My brother and I rode the NCATV trails on Saturday and the Success Pond trail with Eric early Sunday morning. Dave was riding the Forman 400 most of the time, I figured I'd let him try riding in style in the Rincon once or twice!
07.30.2006: I made it out for a ride with some new friends out here in Washington. The place we went is shared by motorcross, ATV and 4 wheel drive trucks, it was amazing!
10.21.2007: The Rincon and I parted ways, it was a great ride and it will be missed but it has a better home now. Since I broke my leg and got a new job I haven't had time to ride so it was just taking up space and costing money, its new owner has a place in the mountains and will ride it much more than I can here in the burbs.
