Why so...

[comrad]

Dead? Let's get this place going. How long has everyone here been riding?

[Outlwd]

24 years man. I've had a host of fun toys from 3 wheelers to odysey's. I sure wish I had a couple of those 3 wheelers back ( 85' 250r and 86' 350x)

Damn, 24 years eh? I have only been riding 2 years, 4 if you count my buggy. I had a Buggy, then a Rubicon, and now a 450r.

[3WheelinDemon]

[zzmain]

Riding bikes since 1970, ATVs since 1980.

quads - 2 years

[lordofrebirth]

Here and there for 2 years. This year is my first for serious riding and like having my own gear. I just got the new Thor Static gear in star camo today.

[frmrrz]

Bought my first ATV in 1984 (1983 ATC 200X).   Now I have 10, all quads.   My numero uno is my Raptor, but I have been spending more time on the Sportsman 800X2 lately.   

For all you guys that miss your ATCs (and I do), they are living in my cousin's basement.   That crazy man has 31 very clean ATVs (yes 31) as of last count, including a couple of mint ATC250r as well as two nice Tri-Z 250s.     It is quite a glorious site to behold.

31 ATC's?  That would be awesome

Started riding back in the 70's on dirt bikes.  When I joined the Army in 1975 I sorta lost touch over the 23 years that I served.  IN 1985 I rode a Harley for 5 years.  Then lost touch again.  You know the ex-wife didn't like bikes.  Now with the present wife we both ride quads and have been for the last three years.

I am so sorry that I lost touch with bikes..   It always was part on my life.  Now its 350 Rancher, 42o Rancher, and 700xx.

Been riding quads for 8 years. Started on a Yamaha Blaster, beat the crap out of a Warrior for a few years, then bought my Z in 03. Great quad, but looking for a new toy, and I like the 700XX 

[xx-rated]

Had a YZ 80 when I was a kid, then had to wait about 15 years before I got a YZ 250 in 96', had that for about 2 years (no, I wasn't still riding my 80!). Then I got back into it and bought a new Raptor in December of 02'....just got my XX about a month ago. Plan on riding as long as I'm breathing!

[scuzz]

My wife's uncle has two 400EX's. He let me ride the extra one a few times.

I got hooked and bought my own 400EX. He bought a 700r and still has both 400EX's. I got tired of being the slowest so I sold my 400EX after the last dune trip, saved my money and bought the 700XX less than a week ago. In a week I get to surprise him with my new purchase. Hopefully we don't got to the dunes as I don't have my paddles yet....

[Dave01]

That is so great that you all can make the time to spend together. I have met some great families while out riding and this seems like the perfect hobby that can have everyone, male/female  young/older involved..   PS, I am in need of some more mods and am looking to get adopted...LOL
