Life So how many of you own/ride ATV's? - Page 2

**Bwana** · 06-09-2009, 03:09 PM

What kind of toy do you have and what do you use it for?

dilligaf · 06-09-2009, 03:27 PM

I used to have an 03 Yamaha Wolverine and an 03 Suzuki Z400. The 400 was a kick in the ass.

I bought a new Banshee in '00. Piped, jetted, K & N filter & reeds.

We were assembling cell towers on the coast of Oregon and my operator took me to the sand dunes on a blow out day. He said we could rent one and I was so memorized by the size of the dunes I went out and bought one instead.

I was used to the ant hills of the Little Sahara Desert in Oklahoma. No comparison to our dunes up here. I used to always figure I couldn't get hurt in the sand.

I've recently talked about picking up a Razor.

It too would be strictly for fun on the dunes.

I have a Polaris ATP. Mainly use it for hauling brush and rocks and dead deer and stuff.

I used to have a 4 wheeler. loved riding that thing, it was a suzuki. It wasn't a racing type, but that didn't stop me from doing that!

Had a friend that built a intercooled turbo Banshee. He used to take it to the sand drags in Waynoka.
He kept seizing the engine because he didn’t know how to let off the throttle when it over revved.

I have two Polaris 700, 2004 & 2005, both with the mossy oak camo , we chase Jack Rabbits and Kill them at 50 mph. Great fun.

I just sold my 2007 Polaris X2 and ordered this:

http://www.travelizmo.com/archives/p...--atv-2009.jpg

I pick it up Friday. Polaris 850 XP. I had them upgrade the winch from a 2500 to a 3500, had them throw on the front and rear rack extenders along with the front push bar, and told them to pull the factory tires and upgrade to Maxxis Bighorns. This thing should be a beast. I also have 2002 a Yamaha Gizzzly 660 as a backup.

Son of a bitch!!

I've got a CR 125 I don't ride any longer and need to sell.

Honda 400 4 trax for hunting and farm type stuff.

dad bought an Arctic Cat Prowler side by side last year that spends more time hauling piles of grandkids around the woods and pasture than it does for fencing and checking calves.

I flew over the handlebars of a YZ 125 going about 40MPH. Was going through some seat high grass and hit a tractor tire that was laying on it's side. The bike stopped and I kept going.

**Iowanian** · 06-09-2009, 03:58 PM

We were getting out of hand for a while on the bikes. We had 1 day where I tore up my knee, the BiL broke his wrist and my brother separated his shoulder.

My bike has a set of handlebars on it with less than 15 minutes of ride time that are bent like a pig pecker.

If you lived closer, I bet I would have a buyer for that bike.
