    The next generation...

    Earlier today i was watching my 13 year old son tear around the snow in the yard on the 110. That kid is developing some good body english. Soon he will need a 200x. The torch passes on...
    86 tri z - might be nearly done throwing money at it! (good thing, the hondas are getting jealous!)
    86 250sx - old reliable
    83 atc 70-new project for me and the boy
    another 82 110
    a bunch of golf carts for the wife and kids
    -gone but not forgotten-
    82? 110 - why did i sell it??
    84 225dx - meh, it was a pile

    All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country

    I know the feeling myself. I put my youngest on a ATC70 at age 4. I sat on back and let him have the controls. It didn't take long for him to learn to ride on his own. He is now 16 and has moved up to bigger machines. He does how ever get out and tear it up on a Zinger and a ATC70. Heck every machine I get running at the shop he goes and test rides, and rides, and rides, and rides. I have seen him burn a full tank of gas just test riding a machine.
    Now I have to buy a place in the country so he can ride more often!!!

    Very cool... its so neat to see a young rider develop his skills over the years! Darn good way to keep em out ta trouble as well.
    Fortunately, since I don't have any kids, my sister and her husband have given me permission to build my nephew his first car.
    Which of course will be a motorcycle

    That is exactly how you learn, by starting that young. If/when I ever have kids, quads are banned.

    LOVE the slow snow slides. 2nd-3rd gear only.
    Ate it 2x by hitting frozen gopher mounds and one piece of errant firewood
    made invisible by the snow.
    We rode for 1/2 hr, came in to warm up, said &^% this and went back out and ran them out of gas..another 2 hrs or so.
    I'd say more fun than the dunes.
