New Member from Central Arkansas

[Buckums]

Hello everybody. been searching and reading and learning from the forum for a bit. Really a great resource and wealth of info. I'm a 41 yr old hunting-fishing-trail riding, everything outdoors (except golf!) addict from central Arkansas. been on some sort of ATC or ATV my whole life. current bikes are 1985 250es (primary rider), $300 rough as heck but runs great 85 250sx, and just picked up a nicer 86 SX that i'm hopefully going to make into my primary trail bike once i work out all the kinks. Along with an assortment of a few other ATVs of various makes and models. anyway, thanks for all the good info, its been a big help and look forward to learning more and maybe helping out along the way. Cheers.

Very nice Big Red! The picture didn't show of "stinky". If you can try doing like you posted your previous picture.

I don't think Stinky has ever spent a moment in a covered area since the showroom.

Welcome to the site. Very nice Big Red indeed. What kind of tires are those? They look good.

hey guys. Due to an injury i am selling my big red. i just listed it on ebay. on Feb 10 i rolled my 250sx over my left leg and busted it up pretty bad, (crushed tibia, torn ligaments, plates and screws... no good) i've been riding these things since i was little and have rolled and wrecked many times, but have avoided injury until now. so.. i wont be riding anytime soon. i hate to sell it, but given the accident, i need to thin the herd. i continue to upgrade both of my 250sx but the big red is nearly all OEM and i want to keep it that way so if i cant tinker with it and cant ride it, then it has to go. i have the reserve set aT $1900. Thats not a steal i know, but its too clean and too original (one owner before me, with all dealer paper work, etc) to give away. i actually have a little more than that in it. if i cant get close to that i will just winterize it, throw a cover over it and let it sit in the corner of the garage and appreciate. look forward to putting some pics up of my SX as it comes along. anyway the link is below.

Dude, I hate to hear that. I am getting mine back to running condition and was looking forward to riding with you some time. Maybe my 3-wheeler and your leg will both "heal up" at about the same time?
That is a nice looking Big Red. My family had one of those in my younger days and after starting out on a Honda 110, that Big Red was a Cadillac. If I didn't have bills, kids, another 3-wheeler, limited space, and what else?.....oh yeah, a wife, I would be buying that one :)

Get well soon!

[Buckums]

hey man. well i'm by no means getting out of riding, just going to be awhile before i can actually bend my knee and bare weight on it. but, when i can i will totally be up for riding with you. i have several places to ride on private ground around central ar that are a lot of fun. once i'm back in the saddle i will give you a shout. good luck with getting yours back in action.
