Actually just started it for the first time in six months. It needed a little help but ran great. I need to get new tires, and a new exhaust for it. Maybe this winter......

I went back to Washington state right before Christmas to buy my Grandpa's 69 Ford truck and I also found my last Team Honda 200x. I bought that and met up with Pete Fisher from Powroll and picked up two more of my race bikes for a guy in NY. Just know starting to rebuild it but I can't post pics on here yet.

Cool videos. Haven't been on an ATC in years now. Were a lot of fun other than rutted trails. I can't imagine hanging off the ATVs in the corners as much as I used to. I'd come home a cripple.

One of my buds who I usually ride with grew up on trikes. The amount of body english they have to use just to keep rubber down is amazing. Everyone thinks they are a great rider until they climb on a atc.
