In your opinion, what is the best model ever made, I'm talking reliability down the exact year. Any story's And pics would be awsome.
I got My first atc when I was a teenager. It was a 84 200es, I treated it so bad, I regret what I did to the poor old Girl, I bought it for 250$ never did a thing to it, no oil change, never touched the spark plug for the 2 Summers that I rode it. I was young and dumb and did not appreciate atc's like I do now. This is the one that started it all for me. The reason I'm into these is because I started to miss this old girl.
My brother in law also had one and we rode the **** out of them every day, I put it through he'll and back almost every time I rode it, I rolled, drowned it , took it around the local track and got huge air with it. Had tones of wipe outs, a couple near death experiences involving cars and other things. It never let me down once, we had a blast, we laughed so hard at all the random things that would happen. If I drowned it I would just bomb start it and off I went again. I ran it out of oil going wide open in 5th gear up a hill, it cut out on me twice before I realized it had no oil. It smoked like no ones business after that but It still ran and drove just fine.
The end of her life was a few days later when I managed to break the rear axle, only one wheel turned. I took it to my friend that was an atv mechanic to get it fixed and he talked me out of it, I had not yet Discovered eBay and he told me that you could not get parts for them. So it sat around in his yard for a Couple years untile one of his friends wanted it, so I gave it away.
I regret doing all of this and I wish I still had her. I recently became addicted to them (I blame this site). I tried getting a hold of this guy to see if I could buy her back but he sold her.
R.I.P. I am sorry for abusing you and if I ever find you I will restore you.
