Welcome to PRC and congratulations on your new ride.
Greetings from the "edge of the Everglades"

We finally pulled the trigger over the weekend on a Sage Green 2015 XP 900 EPS. All I can say is "WOW" what an awesome machine! The ride is really smooth, and the power in this thing is crazy! I'm trying to be mindful of the "break-in", so I haven't even got on it yet. No issues so far, other than the creaking roof support. Thanks to the info I found here, that was fixed on day one.
We own a camp down in the middle of the Big Cypress Preserve that we visit whenever we can. It's about as remote as you can get in S. Florida... very relaxing. Access from the nearest dirt road is via 11 miles of pretty rugged trails - deep water, rocks, and blue marl mud. I've got two "old school" swamp buggies that we usually use to get down there, but they're both getting old and tired, so the Polaris will be filling in some when it's not too wet. Other than that, we'll be using the Polaris for work around the yard and terrorizing the neighborhood when "5 o'clock somewhere" rolls around. :very_drunk:
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself here. There's a whole lot of really good info on this forum. Hope to contribute to the knowledge base myself in the future.

Thanks all... I'm looking forward to getting the Polaris set up for what I need.
@Cesar - Swamp buggies were pretty much the only way to get around the Glades down here in the old days. Honestly, it's still that way today.
Here's my buggy... she's tired (the motor's the same age as me), but she still gets the job done.:encouragement:
