I started with 4 wheelers after, owning a mini bike from age 5. Got my first 4 wheeler at age 7. Fourtrax 250x. It grew from there with a few years away from atving. I have owned a few. 250x, 250r, Banshee, 300ex, Rancher, and my favorite DS 650.

Bought a new Banshee in 87, went in the military, parents sold the Banshee in 88 for $1500[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]
Always wanted another quad, talked the wife into it for all of us, bought 03 Z and 03 KFX50 for the boy. Now I need one for my wife and I want a buggy for the family rides.

My buddy and I used to fish all the time but when it rained his dad wouldn't let us go to the pond because the trucks rutted up the hay patch. My solution honda 110 three wheeler it worked great then he bought suzuki 125 three wheeler. We got to riding more than fishing so we bought kawi 220 bayou not fast enough got stuck all the time, and no power. Then he bought ltf250 4x4 suzuki, and I went with out, till I desided what I realy wanted. I bought 96 warrior ride the dog out of it till I wrecked it and broke my arm warrior gone. Then came suzuki ltf500 4x4 for duck hunting still got it haven't rode in a year rear coupler broken. Then came 01 raptor with Ct pipe, 4.50" swingarm ext, renthal bars, blue with yellow frame, and custom flame graphics and seat cover STOLEN layborday weekend 02 at shiloridge in alto Tx. Now I have DS650 and love it. My friend has 92 warrior with xr650 engine, 400ex with 440, 220 bayou, and yamaha 80 for his little girl.

My story's boring also. About 3 years ago my dad bought a 2001 Blaster for the whole family. After a couple months we decided we wanted to ride with 2 ppl on the trails and the other 2 can wait in the van. That got boring fast so my mom and dad bought themselves a TRX250 and a Recon 250. The blasters became ours, i got the 2001 and my bro got the 2002. For the record, id just like to point out that in a drag race my 2001 would beat my bros blaster by about 2 feet in an approximate 300 stretch. Its been just upgrades since then. My bro got some pipes, jets, and filters for his blaster, so now hes about even if not a couple mph faster with me. Im hoping to get a rappy in the near future.

I actually started out on a LT80 in 92' riding with my best friend up and down our dirt road. Then later I as others became a Hard Core Mxer(dirtbikes) from 94' up until 00' when I had a real good crash in which I broke my collarbone in 2 places, collapsed a lung and broke a rib. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Was out for close to a yr., and decided to pick up Hare Scrambles racing(offroad/woods racing) Did this off and on for another 2yrs. Met my fiance' in 02' and she and her father have quads(250x's). After relentlous hounding and bagering to buy a quad we had a trip planned to run at hatfield-Mccoy. Not wanting to be the only one(out of 15 mind you) not on a quad I traded in my Crf450 and bought my Rappy. Been three months now and haven't looked back yet. Its a blast, and alot more fun with other people to ride with. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Now if only I could convince my soon-to-be wife that I need that new 450 quad................[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
