No Rhinos in Ocala

[Chillinthemost]

Thanks Don. I think we'll all have to get one of those dual purpose 2 wheelers. Then you can leave your house on it, ride to the forest and then ride any dam where you want. Problem is I would bust my royal azz on a 2 wheeler in that sand.

That won't help the case on the Rhino, because you steer with a steering wheel and sit in a seat not straddle. They also weigh just over 1,000 pounds.
