Just wanted to say hey to everybody out there and introduce myself since I am sure I will be asking for lots of help. I worked as an auto mechanic for many years until I decided to go back to school. Now I am a desk jockey that likes to tinker on stuff. :) My wife and I both ride motorcycles and belong to the Christian Motorcyclists Association. Our kids are fairly independent teenagers now so we are starting to go out and do things together again. I have always loved atv's and off roading so I thought it would be fun to get a couple of cheap atv's to tinker on. I picked up a 1979 Honda ATC 110 and a 1982 Honda ATC 185 off of Craigs list for $100. Of course neither of them was running. I had the 185 up and going in a couple of days but the 110 is still a work in progress. It is presently getting a hot pink paint job with flames (hey it's what she wanted) It has pretty low compression so I will probably end up rebuilding the motor. I will get pictures up as soon as I can. I will be looking through the forums for help and I'm sure asking for quite a bit.
