If anyone goes this far on this thread they must care so here goes....

Live in S.E. Idaho
33 yrs. old, married w/3 (11, 10, & 8)
I have a great choice of areas to ride - desert, dunes, high mountains, and mud (seasonal...gotta have rain for mud.)

I'm a salesman - yeah baby, yeah!

Ive been riding for about a year. I ride a '00 Polaris Explorer 400 4x4. It works great for what I do with it.

Previous rides - whatever I could manage to borrow.

I tow with a '99 Suburban with a $200.00 Wal-Mart trailer....hey, it works.

Plan on outfitting the whole family with quads (cha-CHING!!) I've found nothing better for clean, quality family entertainment.

Show the rest of us that you care - make the post here if you havent already.

Seems to be a lack of Texans on this thread so here goes

Ronnie Crecelius, Cleburne Texas aka Pfelect
31/m/single Work in conveyor plant by day, musician at night(Country guitar picker)

I bought 00 Polaris Xpedition 425 this summer
I load up my quad in the back of my 98 3/4ton Chevy Silverado or on a buddies trailer.

Previously(briefly) owned a wore out 85 Quadsport 230 that rode me more than I rode it!( small bike for a 6ft 5in, 300 lb man I suppose)

I am a rookie ATVer and ride with my buddies mostly on Gov land around Lake Whitney(legal?) and at low water bridge in Glen Rose. I have also been to Red River cycle ranch near Muenster( dying to go back!) I would like to ride in the mud if it would ever rain around here! I also like climbing hills that arent too challenging(lip at top scares the h### out of me)
You asked so there it is,

My name is Jeremiah Lucas. I am from Strasburg, Virginia and I am 20 years old. I have an 89 Banshee with just a few basic mods right now due to lack of funds. I ride on a track I made behind my girlfriends house, Tasker's Gap ATV trails in George Washington National Forest near Edinburg, and families mountain land in Mount Olive. I also ride wherever there are any good trails or open fields to really crank it and fly. I have an 89 Mustang that I put $21,000 into so I surely dont' haul my quad with this. I use my fathers 93 Ranger 4x4 with its third motor in it as of 4 weeks ago(Long Story) and this will be mine in a few months. I like to race my car at a drag strip within 80 miles of my house and just freak out on the street. Of course if I freak out on the street in my car you know I'm deffinetly gonna FREAK on the trails and tracks on the ol' Banshee. I don't race because there are no tracks nearby or within the state so far as I know. I plan on doing some mods at the end of the century(HA HA). My A.K.A. is VENOMOUS, and my AOL Instant Messenger is BODEYZAPHA. My past rides have been a 86 atc250x, 80-81 atc110, 7 dirt bikes, and one screamin CBR600F2 that had $7,000 in extra go fast goodies that enabled me to travel a whopping 210mph. I have been riding off and on since I was 14 years old.

My name is Pete (Davis) from St. Pete, FL. I am a rookie to atving - just bought a y2k Yamaha 400 4x4 Big Bear. Waaayy too much fun!
I absorbed a lot of atv information from this website before my purchase. I have previously owned a 1975 Yamaha 360 Enduro and 1981 Honda 750-F super sport. Yes, I am showing my age at 42 and getting younger, thanks to my 8 year old son, Taylor. His atv purchase is next and then the wife's. I have been married since 1985. I drive a Yota T-100, black, and tow a 5x10 trailer and 1997 Coleman pop-up camper. I ride at Croom Motorcycle Park in Brooksville when I get the itch to go. I bought the Big Bear mainly for utility applications in my hunting excursions because I have done too much walking, lugging and not enough hunting. I Plan on hunting Ocala Forest a lot this year which is open to atv's in addition to our hunt-leased private property. I respect private property, do not litter, am a RESPONSIBLE hunter that obeys laws and wildlife management area rules & regs, but most of all, enjoy consuming mass quantities of cold beer, cooking on a wood fire and the comraderie at days end of hunting or atving. Thanks to every member who help make this website what it is - informative and entertaining.
