What all-terrain-vehicles do you ride or did you ride?
I used to ride a 81 Honda Oddessy FL-250 over at Sand Mountain about 30 miles east of Fallon Nevada. Those were fun times.

HANKLIN, I stopped riding when my cousins stopped riding. We also used to go to Pismo Beach just south of Paso Robles. When I used to ride my old Suzuki RM370 dirt bike, I used to ride at Lake Pillsbury and Cow Mountain just outside of Ukiah; and rode at LaGrange near Modesto. Those were fun times.

Used to have a Suzuki Quad Racer 250, and a Suzuki LT 250. Used to ride on the Arkansas River and over by Kaw City, OK. Also made a few trips to Little Sahara in OK. Good times and I sure do miss it.

2000 TRX450ES and a 2005 TRX650 Rincon. The Rincon is light years ahead of the Foreman. Such an awesome machine all around.

I remember the bombing range east on highway 50. I think it was on the right hand side of the highway. I'd stop and watch the jets practice on old junk military vehicles with live bombs. That was a site. And the drop offs on Sand Mountain were wicked. I think I had the death grip on the steering wheel on my old Oddessy going down those dunes. Yep; definitely fun.

I have a 96 blaster 200cc that I bought for 300 bucks. only thing wrong with it is that its got like 95psi compression and the carb is so out of whack, and i cant find out where to start the needle settings. it will run if you roll start it with the choke on, but it runs real rough and it dosnt kick start.. lol
Worst comes to worst, ill put a new piston/cly, get a new carb, and ill be on my way.

Used to ride a Suzuki Quadzilla, LT500. Tore it completely apart and had the motor totaly tricked out, sandblasted the frame and powdered coated, hand polished the motor to a mirror shine, put it back together and it was the fastest quad anywhere in the dunes. Only rode it a couple of times, met my wife, priorities changed and now somone else is blowing away Banshees with it.

I have a 95 Yamaha 400 Kodiak and my g/f has a 2004 Yamaha Bruin 350. We ride the 230 acres her mom owns. There are open hills, 3 ponds for fishing, plenty of trees, and several long mud holes....her favorite!

1996 Yamaha Warrior, ride pretty regularly, usually just around me and my friends farms, but about 2-3 times a year we head out to central Ohio into the foothills of the mountains and we ride on 3500 acres of woods, best part is that it is private land so we are the only ones on it, except for the people tresspassing. Either way it is a great time.

The 800 I can compare with my dad's old Ford cop car with the 460 Police intercepter in it. It is dangerous in the wrong hands. A whole lot of power.

Went for a 60 plus mile trail ride a couple of weekends ago. Pavement, snow, mud and gravel roads. Old logging roads and trails. We had 23 ATV's on the trip. A great way to spend the day. Nothing to hard, but alot of great country to see.
