been posting for two days, forgot to say hi.......hi

I live in Maui and work as an ATV guide full time so I basically get paid to ride

mostly trail riding with tourist, but sometimes the other guides and myself get to cruise. We run on a 30,000+ arce ranch that has some pretty diverse terrain. The Ranch has property that goes from sea level to 9,000' but we stay in the 4-6,000' range most of the time. We have 3 Rincons, 2 Foreman, and 17 ranchers

When I'm not riding ATV I like to cruise around on my Hayabusa (street bike). Also work as a crew chief on a A/D dragster which is in my shop right now for some roll cage up grades.

 

maui,

welcome

That sure sounds good.

We are iced in here. The only way right now you are going to get around is by quad.

Hey Maui, sounds pretty cool. I've been a tech since electronic ignition was a new thing. I always ride what I work on (even if it's only an oil change) so in a way, I get paid to ride too!!! Ain't life grand. I don't currently own an ATV, but if I purchased, it would be a Rincon. Mainly cause I really like the way they ride and handle. For bike I have a Honda ST1100 and I like to take looong trips around the US and Canada when I can. Peace and welcome to the forum. I know this isn't a motorcycle forum, but do you have to go the big island to open that 'busa up all the way?

 

the busa hits 175 passing cars....ok, I start at 140, but no, I've seen some high triple dig here. Guessing in the 185-190mph range. It was still pulling but I was covering a mile every 20 seconds and cars look kinda funny when you pass them like that. Passed a friend one night and he said he saw me coming so he rolled down the windon in his truck to "hear" better. he said I went by too fast....kinda said it was a zzfff sound for half a sec. Also said he never saw anyone lean the turns on a straight road before.

 

Maui,
Sounds like a great job! Got any pictures on the ranch?

 

I'll try to get some pictures later. Whats the trick for using the gallery?

 

maui,
Sounds like you've got the life man welcome to the forums.
