How many yall ride atvs often. I ride every chance I get. Most of the time it is down the road to a buddys house. But I am going on a anual ride with some friends in two weeks. There will be 6 or 8 of us and we will ride back roads and field roads for about 8 to 10 hours. We have a blast

I love AtV's and i love my dad's 1987 trx250r Any one ever ridden one of these baby's? I read that they Ran 86mph off the show room floor. Our 250r has a paul turner 180 degree racing poipe boysen reeds shift kit and a overbore piston. ( npot sur of size) Iv'e taken it up to about 60mph and it was in top 4th gear just almost reday to shift to fifth Ive never touched the sixth gear it's too scary to imagine!

I used too all the time, have a 85 Honda Odyssey FL350, its great. And no its not the van lol. Runs pre-mix gas and oil and has full independent suspension. Its more of an over sized go-cart, we were able to find it in GREAT condition. A guy bought it new and hardly used it so an old guy bought it and it just sat in his barn for 10 years, then we got it. Heres a pic of one

Ours in actually better looking than that, just the engine got too hot and siezed. I need to get it bored out I miss it so much lol. We clocked it at 60 mph which isnt too bad.

Yes the pilot is awesome. i have some aluminum wheel. I have ridden an odyssey and it wasnt much slower than my pilot. I can keep up with cars on the highway on a good day.

haha i have one of my own... mine is a 1988 TRX250R it is COMPLETELY chromed not polished, CHROMED lol i work a PHIL'S CYCLE and ATV in EL RENO, OKLAHOMA im only 15 but i've had my R since i was 12 got it one owner completely stock!! very rare to find em that way. i have about 18K invested in it...and i think it is worth every dime. it has +3+1 a-arms, elka shocks, lonestar +4 axle, douglas ultimate clovercut beadlock wheels... $200 a piece, sand skate two tires on the rear, skat trak mohawk fronts, LRD pipe and silencer, pro design cool head w/17cc dome, weisco .5 over piston, prodesign timing plate advanced 7degrees, hinson billet proof 7plate clutch setup, Delta V-force two reeds, 39mm carb, air box removal kit, LRD front bumper, baja rear grab bar, lonestar anti vibe steering stem, and tag handlebars, every thing is chromed but the cases, the cylinder is polished, the swingarm is polished, the frame powdercoated, and it has brand new factory decals and plastic ordered direct from honda. most was spent on chroming. to get an idea of what mine looks like go to www.philsatv.com and look at his red trx250R most of his stuff is polished though. and every nut and bolt etc is chromed on mine... i need to get it on our site. it looks better than his, but i HAVE took mine into 6th many times, mostly we ride in sand, but we put street tires on mine and clocked it at 99.4mph anyone interested come to little sahara in waynoka, oklahoma next weekend SNAKE HUNT!!!!!! the absolute biggest ATV EVENT in oklahoma!
