    There were several go-carts growing up, not sure of any make though.
    Can't quite remember my first 4 wheeler, I think it was a family friends Honda rancher 350.
    The first dirtbike I rode was my cousin's YZ85
    My first street bike was my personal 1982 Yamaha XJ750 Maxim
    and my first 3-wheeler was my friends Honda 185s. That thing was a blast, he got it free from a co-worker of ours at the local hardware store, with a stuck motor. He filled it with ATF and tugged on it every once in a while until it freed up, he rebuilt the carburetor at my place one night in a lawn chair out in my pasture by the light of a bonfire. Once the motor was free he put the carb back on and the thing started right up. We ran the living crap out of that thing until the compression finally went too low to start about a year and a half later, that was my first experience that got me hooked on three wheelers, I've ridden a few since, (Kawi 110, and a 350x) and finally bought my own, a 83 ATC 200x-autox with 185s motor. It's a blast!!

    When I was about 7 I got my first gas operated toy, a late 70's (guestament lol) Imperial mini bike with a 4 hp Tecumseh engine. There was an old lady who lived next door and passed away which led her family to put that old blue mini bike out by the trash while they were cleaning out the house. I knew of mini bikes from a book in my elementary school library that was a picture book of mini bike racing in the 70's. The pages were yellowed and the binding had been taped many times but that never stopped me from checking it out every week in 3rd grade. While I was mowing the grass in my front yard I noticed the old mini bike (like the ones in the book) out by the trash. I then proceeded to beg my parents to let me ask the family if I could have the bike. They said it was fine with them and I walked the thing home. I learned through trial and error how to rebuild my first carb on that bike. I must have cleaned that carb 12 times come to think of it. Eventually my dad noticed that my skill level had surpassed that bikes limits and he bought me a brand new xr80. I rode that for maybe a year before I started trying to jump higher/farther/faster. My dad then traded in the xr80 for a new yamaha yz85! I loved that bike, I could finally fly through the air without the shocks of my bike bottoming out. I raced that bike for two years then moved up to a used yz125. From there I've had all sorts of go karts, mini bikes, riding lawn mowers, motorcycles, and now I'm about to purchase my first atc, a 200s (I'm stoked!). I only live about an hour from Haspin Acres and can't wait to go forge through the mud next weekend. But all my experience wrenching and riding all started with that Imperial Mini Bike!

    My dad taught me how to ride a atc for the first time, my first time riding any motorcycle or atv on a 86 ATC 250 ES Big Red. I believe I was around the age of 8-9 if I recall correctly. We still have this machine and it has been ridden hard.

    Had a homemade go cart with a 3.5hp Briggs and a hand brake. Next was ole trusty atc110 don't remember the year but it was indestructible. Water, mud, sand, age... Nothing could kill it. Dad sold it and bought trx200 that sucked hole.

    My first was a 200m. I was 13 and it was Christmas. We got about 6 inches of snow for Christmas that year, which was odd for northeast Texas.

    My first ride was my dad's Yamaha 175 enduro, early 70's vintage. Rode that for several years whenever he would let me. Then I got a brand new ATC 110 and was hooked on 3-wheelers. Rode the **** out of that thing until I saw the 1983 250R. Got one of those and foolishly sold it after I bought my 85.

    First ride I remember 1979 DS80 rode the heck out of that thing, then my 84 ATC 110, and it progressed to 85 200X, and 85 250R, but I was broke back then and had to sell every thing to survive. So now I'm trying to put some fun trikes back in the stabile. I now have an ATC 110 79, and 85, and a 85 250r looking forward to riding the R again..
