Id say she will braaaap the crap outa that thing,women seem to be sentimental to the rough rides, like mine always talking about her old rough Honda 300 quad with no suspension or her old crappy tire baja lawnmower engine motor bike,and we still rip around on our old vintage 440s

only did 2 rides with it.both from Eagle staging area. one trip to the lookout and month later to the Huestis forest site.not at all this yr.she fell out shopping last month and banged her head on steel shelf. major concussion. but my son used it to give his kids rides.so at least was out once...will last long time this way.
