This is definitely some of the best literature to grace your pages...or at least web page.

Best read I've had all day, and I'm stuck home, on crutches, the day after knee surgery, counting minutes until the next happy pill.

I love it! I've actually  mildly day dreamed of something  similar.  I have a lonely Polaris back in Utah that I haven't seen in about 10 years.

I think we should put Ken Block on it with a few Go Pros and see what happens.
