awesome there's a guy over here about 10 miles from me that has a trike he said its not the tri z but he said there rare he had it imported from the us. think it was the yamaha dx . hes wanting solid money for it though. i bought yz spares off him about 3 months ago but he worked at my local track

 

[Motocrossguy17]

i learned though from buying Chinese imports should have learned from the first couple but it took me to my third last quad to learn lol

I think I moved pretty fast when buying/owning quads. I started getting into the ATV world when I was 18, since my parents forbade me from having an ATV or dirtbike while growing up as a kid. I started off with a 1994 Warrior that had no fire. Having little experience with ATV's up until that point, I bought a service manual for it and started wrenching. While the Warrior was still dead, I bought a running 1999 Banshee and enjoyed it until I got the Warrior fixed.

Then I got a completely worn-out 1993 Blaster. While looking for parts to fix it up, I found a better deal on a 1999 Blaster with just a broken kick starter, so I sold the 1993 as-is and set to work on the '99. Then I saw a steal of a deal on a 2005 Blasty (my current ride), and knew I had to have it. So, after a 4 hour round trip, it was mine!

After I fixed the 1999 Blaster, I bought another 1995 Blaster sight-unseen (a big mistake) that was supposed to be a project. Yeah, it never got done. I didn't want to tie up $$ on a full rebuild, so I sold it and actually made a little money on the deal.

I've also owned three and a half (basket case! lol) Kawasaki Bayou 220's, a Honda Recon, a Honda ATC 110, two more Banshees, a Polaris Trailboss 250, another 1999 Blaster, a Honda TRX 450r....and I think that's it!

When I moved to NC from Texas, I got out on my own and had to downsize. I took 4 quads with me in a Uhaul truck. My wife still jokes that only about half the truck was filled with our personal belongings...the rest was quads! Actually, that was more the truth than a joke!

Now that I'm married and own a house at 22 years old, money is tighter and I'm just keeping my 2005 Blaster for the moment. When my wife finds a job, I'll start building up my collection again. An Extra-Special Edition YFZ 450 (you'll seeee...) is on the list, as is (probably) a Polaris Sportsman 400HO for the wife to ride. Time will tell.

Pretty cool plan! I my mom was none too happy when a customer brought me a pink 110cc Chinese ATV to fix one day. I got it going and proceeded to cut donuts in the back yard. She came out to see what was going on, just as I very nearly flipped it into her rose garden.

Yeah, my riding days in the back yard were pretty much over after that. lol.

I'm a firefighter, and let me tell you...its not an easy job, but its rewarding and very worth it if you have plenty of common sense, are willing to learn, and don't mind working under pressure in all sorts of situations. I love it. I come from a military heritage (my dad and both grandfathers served, and my mom was born at a military base in Guam as a result), but I never really wanted to join the military. Instead, getting into the fire service is/was my way of serving the community.

sweet man! yeah man i was always good in primary school i always kept on top of my work and i loved maths lol but just by the time i was due to go to high school alot of stuff happened like family members dying etc and that kind of threw me off going along with the fact all the folk that went all started smoking/drinking and i wasn't like that. plus the gangs as well. but i do liking learning new things and i always listen i do like under pressure and iv red up on the firefightering and its the kind of job id like to do im attending a adult education course the now that's where im studying to get the qualifications i need. generally i like helping people so i think that's another good thing lol, what do firefighters get paid over your way? over here they pay £19000/$30000 in basic training. then it averages from £21000- £30000 good money but i do understand there is alot of work for to do it. but that's the job i want to do and when i want something il eventually get it. i do work hard i don't work the now but when im doing something i get it done and i do it well

Oh god over the years we've had alsorts but if I list mainly the quads

We started by buying an Argocat KB for £10 which we spent months fully restoring and ran for a couple of years then we sold it for £1000, and got our Argocat Magnum in orange which we paid £600 and also restored and had for about 6 years then we sold that few months back for £2300 and a few yfz450 parts

Started off with some little suzuki 175 non runner which ended up getting scrapped

the got a chinese 125 and 150, used one as a doner and got he other runnng, had sooo much fun on this then sold it to my cousin for £300,
got a chinese 110 ram and slam 3 speed quad for £60 then swapped for a ps3 10games, and £100quid then later got it back for £50 and then swapped it for a 150cc buggy then bought it back a couple months later for£60 when it lost its spark then further sold it for £180

then i got a smc ram 170 which i learned to do gears on and ride properly, jump, wheelie etc

then we got 2 250 buggys and a 110cc buggy, the first one we paid £350 for road for a few weeks then sold for £1000, the other we paid 500 for road for a fewyears as it was road legal andsold for £750 we also sold the 110 to the same guy we paid 500 for it NEW but sold for 250 as the engine was fked..

The it gets exciting! I got my first blaster!! the white and pink one, paid £550 for it and spent £100 tops doing it up powder coating and such and make it look like new! then i crashed it got the blue blaster with a blow enginefor £400 made a good one out of the 2 then evntualy sold them for £1200

then my dad got his road legal dinli 450cc road legal which he still ha now!

then i got my 500predator which i stil have now and isnt going anywhere!

the other night we paid £220 for a honda c90, honda c50, apache 100 quad and a petrol scooter thing which we will sell all except the quad

and tonight where going to pick up my sisters blasters! :

probably missed loads to! over the years we have had soooo much stuff and have traveled THOUSANDS of miles, we wouldnt think anything about travelling 400miles round trip for 1 quad..

[slickerthanyou]

My very first-

Then I graduated to a dual stick-

Then of course i got to big for those and went to this-

My parents would never let me own a motor bike or quad so i learned how to work on them in the neighbors garage, I was the go to guy when my buddies all broke down! Only good thing about that experience is i can pretty much fix anything, and learned to ride from fixing all my friends rides!
