....... I had little context to fall back on when Honda invited me to take a little toodle on its new-for-2014 Pioneer. Work-a-day ATVs are hardly my cup o’ tea; I could only imagine a larger, slower version would be like watching paint dry. That the mercury just so happened to register about minus five the day I was to go Pioneering just lowered my expectations that much more. Give me the fully-covered version (Pioneers, both the two-seater and four-seater options offer a quasi cabin with hard plastic sides and a glass windshield) with heater and I’ll give you 30 minutes of my time; staying cozy looked like it would be the highlight of the test.
And then knobby rubber hit snowy field and all manner of sliding-sideways, OMG-I-just-did-a-360-and-I’m-still-pointed-in-the-same-direction-at-full-speed hilarity ensued. Every slippery, ice-filled corner was chance to get seriously crossed-up; every sharp turn was an opportunity to perfect my rally-driving, swing-one-way-then-flip-it-sideways-the-other skills. Much merriment ensued, my cackling like a madman often drowning out the Pioneer’s subdued exhaust.
