Default NEW TO THE CONNECTION

Hi everyone. I just joined the ATV Connection. I have been riding since I was about 7 years old. I love the sport and my whole family enjoys it together. I have had three bikes in my life. I started with a 1984 Honda 200S three wheeler. When I was 15 I bought a 1986 Honda 350X three wheeler from my cousin and I had it until I was about 24. I loved it and made the mistake of selling it since I was getting stationed overseas for a year. I recently bought a 2001 Team Alba Bombardier DS650 that I completely rebuilt. Check out my page I just added some of the many photos during the project. Though there are still some minor things here and there, it is basically done. I just had it out on Memorial Day weekend with my family (about 13 bikes). I love the power, handling, plush suspension and the speed. Just wanted to introduce myself to the site and maybe get some feedback on my DS. Thanks and I hope to hear from someone soon.

welcome to the forums and don't forget to check out the search tab on the top of the page, just about every topic you can think of has been discussed as well as a lot of technical information is available.
I bought an 86 350x new and used to really miss it. That is until I rode one recently and couldn't wait to get back on my DS, those things have such weird balance you feel like you're on a unicycle.
Donal, did you ever post a good review of your turbo bike for those of that like to dream? I know that you are planning alot of hop ups for it.

I do have one question for all of you DS owners. When I took mine out on Memorial Day weekend, it wasn't quite as easy to pull a wheelie as I thought it would be with all of the torque it has.....any suggestions on the sweet spot and pulling and riding wheelies on the DS???
