    Hello

    Yep Im a newbie.

    Not to atc's anyways


    Got one as a kid at the age of 9. A '81 honda 70. Tried riding the wheels off it, never seceded tho. It got sold because I was riding where I wasnt supposed to..... Opps
    This last christmas I bought my 8 year old a '81 70....... Uh oh theres a pattern forming here.... She rides and and loves it to death. Nothing like going from just dad to parent of the year about everyday.

    I do admit to riding it about as much as she does....


    Few weeks ago I bought a '84 big red from the orig owner for $100. It needs some stuff of course. Gas tank looks new inside , one fender has a crack in it, needs a seat cover, needs some cables, both brake levers. Tires are almost new It was parked because the starter quit, which works fine if ya bypass it. I got it running within a hour of getting it home and rode it a lil bit till I washed it and it lost spark. I think the cdi box quit. I was having weird starting issues too.


    Then the other day my buddy offers me a atc 70. Crap - its a parts bike almost, needs a carb and handlebars and little stuff. Im thinking sell the stuff I dont need and put a big pit bike motor in it...

    Just keep her riding. She'll never regret it. I have a friend with four kids. They've all been riding since they were 5 or 6. The oldest is in college. All four kids seem to have more respect for and a better relationship with their parents than a lot of kids I see these days. I think it's because when they go riding, it's quality time spent with mom and dad.
