My name is Adam Fogelman. Aka, Dem.
I'm 18 years old, and I live in North Pole, AK. Yes, this is a real place. About 15 miles SE of Fairbanks.
I just got my first ATV this year. A '99 Banshee. And I just have to say, I'm truly in love! No mods as of yet, but I'm definately gonna trick it out. Suspension first though, so if anyone's got some suggestions I'd love to hear 'em.
My favorite place to ride is our local MX track, but it's a motorcycle track, so it's kinda rough. I love to fly though, i'm already taking those monster 20 and 30 foot jumps. I can't wait for the new suspension though...those jumps are pretty rough on stock, hahahaha.

 

My name is Duncan Currie (dunc_n), I am 17 years old and I live in British Columbia Canada with my parents.

I ride mostly on private trails and forest service logging roads in the southern interior of BC. I prefer wooded trails over anything.

My Ride is a '94 Yamaha Warrior.

Mods: K&N Filtercharger, K&N carb jet kit, Top End Rebuild, Wiseco Piston and Rings, SuperTrapp 4" Aluminum Racing Series silencer, Stainless Sprockets, RK O-ring Chain, DG Baja Swingarm Skid, Twist Throttle, Scott Grips, Acerbis Handguards, Kill Switch, and rear Kenda Bearclaws (22x12-9).

I have ridden ATV's for three years but never raced and I don't plan to. My family also owns a Suzuki Quadrunner 250 4x4, and a Suzuki Quadrunner 160.

ATVing is a great sport, lets keep it that way!

Hiya, here's all the vitals...

Pam Falcioni, 36 yrs old. My most frequent ride is my '88 250R. It's set up for dunes, and that's the only place it plays. I also have my '89 R. It's bran-spankin'-new, sitting in my shop waiting for me to do something with it. My 350X - 250X conversion is my snow machine.

Where I ride? Dunes in the summer and snow in the winter -- that's the only surfaces my quads ever see. For dirt, I ride without training wheels (not very well, though!) -- i.e. a dirt bike. We live in Oregon, and ride the Oregon Dunes -- try to get to Glamis once every year or so (if we can afford the gas!).

We tow everything around with a Southwind 27' class A motorhome and a 26' enclosed Pape fiberglass trailer. It's pretty and it's long -- and it's pretty long when you have to get out of a tight spot! Talk about stressful!! But it's great once we're where we're going.

How long have I been riding?? Over ten years. I raced a little bit, Flat Track and TT. Had a good time, but it's too expensive! I decided I'd rather ride for fun than race for trophies.

Pam

 

My name is Joe, I like long walks on the beach, romantic dinner.......wait, wrong web site


Actually:
Andy Hillyard
Bonita Springs, Florida, between Fort Myers and Naples, its that little tiny dot on your map.
24, married, no kids (how else could I afford a 4 wheeler)

I have a 99 450ES - Honda, I could not be happier (except I sunk it on the second day that I had it), 7 oil changes to get out the water

I usually ride with my brothers, they ride a Yamaha 350 Moto-4 and a Yamaha Bear Tracker.

There are a few places to ride around here and 2 huge places (for florida), but they are 30 minutes away, (weekend riding)

Will be looking for a used 250-350 2wd for my wife in the not too distant future.

 

I wasn't going to post but there aren't very many women speaking up so I figured I'd better put in my two cents worth!

I'm Lisa Hutchens. 36 years old. Live in rural North Alabama... Gallant, to be exact. Married 16 years, and have a 13 yr. old son and an 11 yr. old daughter. I've been an Instructor for the ATV Safety Institute for 7-8 years now so I get to see and ride all kinds. I usually have Honda's, Yamaha's, Kawasaki's, and Suzuki's on hand at all times for 'loaners' for the program/classes, but I own a Yamaha. Mostly enjoy trail riding but also hit all the logging roads in the area. As for towing, I drive and use my Jeep Wrangler, with an ordinary trailer.

 

Name: Ivan Makortoff.I'm 31yrs old and I have a Red 2000 Honda 450 ES.Originally from BC Canada but presently in Seattle WA.
Extra's: RULE V33 3300lb winch.This thing is bullet proof.Wired in an on/off switch to the solenoid. Changed my junky stock Dunlops to TITAN 489 A/T's.Wanted to keep with the stock **** pattern for now. I added a PRM full chassis and rear differential(rear swingarm)skid plates and a front bash plate.So far I'm extremely pleased with the setup from PRM.They even punched out holes in the front bash plate to keep it looking close to stock.(something I requested) I also have OXLITE boot protectors which do a fine job protecting the A-Arms. I added a backup light from cycle country after a late night outing (0200am).Even a little light back there makes a big difference in pitch blackness.Freaky not being able to see what you're backing up to or over.Wired to an on/off switch only.I don't want it to come on every time I place my quad in reverse.The mounting setup on this thing is kind of junky but I modified it and it looks and works great. I have 2 FUEL PAC fuel containers for those long outings.Low profile and can have tons of stuff packed on top.That 3.25 gallon tank Honda leaves you with is not quite enough where I like to go. Also have a Moose 60" County Plow.Not used yet but looking forward to putting it to use. I use a FLOE tri-fold aluminum 7 foot ramp to load my quad into my 1999 Dodge 2500 quad cab Diesel Ram.
My favorite type of riding is primarily technical climbing and intense deep woods trail riding.I enjoy it all though.Just getting out there and enjoying nature.
Previous rides: OLD Honda CT 70 as a kid.Later a Go-Kart w/ Rollbar.(homemade).'81 Honda FL 250 Odyssey, '82 Honda XR 500 which I still ride, and for the road a 1995 BMW R1100GS.
Other interests: Fishing,Skiing,Golf,Mountain Biking,Hiking,Camping, and hanging out with family and friends.Also learning to play acoustic guitar.

Ride on...
