Hey team, I've been an ATV rider and wrencher for over 20 years as well as an avid reader and subscriber of Dirtwheels since the early days, but this is the first time I've ever written to you. I only do so to thank you for all of the hard work and dedication that you have put into making your publication the very best of its kind about the sport and hobby I ( and you) love so much. Dirtwheels has always been an indispensible source of information in helping me complete restorations or projects and a much cherished form of entertainment. Every time the end of the month rolls around, I wait by the mailbox for my next issue to come in and then when it does, I stop everything to read it cover to cover. Not that I would change anything about the magazine at all, I do have one suggestion for you - I think you should take all of the information and knowledge that the staff there has, compile it into one large coffee table reference tome, and call it "The History and Encyclopedia of the ATV". I was thinking something like the number of great Muscle car related books you find out there.You could write about the history of the ATV - starting with the first of Professor Honda's US90's and end up with the latest Hi-tech Quads from Canondale and others. You could cover all of the racing scene from the first balloon tired beach races to the current million dollor battles waged by the top manufacturers. What I would like to see the most would be an ATV encyclopedia covering every model, from every manufacturer ever made with pictures, specifications (including horsepower, suspension travel etc.) and stats like total units sold , The possibilities are endless with this and I think it would sell quite well. Well thats my little wish and I hope someday it comes true but untill then (and even after) I'll keep an eye on the mailbox for my next issue of the greatest Magazine in the world - Dirtwheels.

Now that you mention it, I think I will send a letter to them. I was wondering if you want me to mention something about your idea, because the more responses they get about it, then the more likely they are to do it. Only w/ your permission so I dont "steal" it.
