I've been ridin for around 13 years. I started in high school when I found an old yamaha tri moto 200. The guy I got it from said that it scared him one time and he parked it. It sat for about 7 years. I paid $25 for it, bought a can of carb cleaner, WD40, oil and filter, and a spark plug. I rode the heck out of it for about a month and someone came up to me and asked if I would take $500 for it. it was sold before he could finish asking. After that I was buying every 3 wheeler or 4 wheeler I could find that wasn't running. That got me started. In 2002 I bought my fist brand new 4 wheeler. It was an 01 DS 650 I wore it out over the next 3 years and then bought a second DS in 04. I kept them both for about a year and sold the 01 when I got tired of friends always borrowing it and never fixing what they broke. About three weeks after I sold the 01, some LOWLIFE JERK stole my 04. I bought an 03 rapter 660 and was never happy with the way it rode so I sold it less then a year later. Last summer my wife found a 04 YZ 85 that she wanted so I just started getting back into the swing of things and a month ago I bought me a 96 scrambler 400 4wd. So hopefully no lowlifes come around and keep me from getting back into riding again. I know I talk a lot but I figured that this might be a good way to make some new riding friends again, and mabe find out about some good riding areas.

The sad part is, I had just parked it on the ramp into the shop and left the key in the switch to leave the fans on to cool it down before putting it in the shop. I was late to get my girlfriend home so my brother-in-law was going to put it away when he finished eating. There was an 87 suziki lt 230 and a 98 polaris 250 trailboss setting closer to the street then mine. They are always outside with the keys, and they were never messed with. In a town of maby 500 on the holidays if families came to visit, you would never expect that to happen. I guess it is my fault for thinking that I can trust people. If anyone tries this again, they had better be ready to dodge a couple of rotts and lead.

 

New here from So Cal, My wife has a 86 Honda TRX 350 Workman. I reacently got it from her Uncle and have been trying to figure out a no spark problem ever since. I know it runs well, if I can just get it to start. Any how my three boys ride, oldest son has a 09 Yamaha TTR 110 and I ride a 09 Yamaha WR250R, two younger boys ride quads. looking for an inexpensive small one for the Middle boy,, like a 90 or a little bigger. I am willing to fix one up if the price is right.
