I'm a ATV man myself ..I like to ride when I get the chance.
My ride is a '05 Yamaha BigBear 400 4x4 w/ AMS Swampfox tires
I like to hit a little mud sometimes...

Coal digger- tell your brother to watch that grizzly in the deep mud. A guy I ride with sometimes tore the whole rear end of his 08 Grizzly out in a hole about that deep and maybe 20ft long last year. It may have been just a defect in that one rear end but I'd still be careful with it.
My wife had a jetski when we started dating but I traded it for an 04 honda recon. We rode the jetski twice in two years and the honda twice in the first week we owned it so we get a lot more use out of the 4 wheeler, unfortunately we don't have any pics of the 4 wheeler though.

They are hugely popular around here but as an office worker who lives in a state that leads the nation in obesity anytime I hit the woods I try to go on foot

I love to ride but didnt do much of it here in Slow Cal.. I've had my 4X4 Arctic Cat for a few years but its only got about 150 miles on it. They called it a 375 that year but was actually just an air cooled version of their water cooled 400.. I got a free Warne winch with it when I bought it new..
I dig it cause its got alot of power without being a gas hog. The big tank on it, and it sipping gas gives you a LONG range without carrying fuel, or being underpowered.. It will also carry a ton on the racks..
Here she is in the shop up in N. Idaho.. Dont mind the mess we were staying in there and working on stuff..
I plan on adding MANY miles to that odometer up there..:thumbup:

I don't have an ATV, but I do have a go-kart that I built with my dad a few years ago from a kit. It's got an 8HP Tecumseh engine and goes about 30MPH. It doesn't have any suspension other than the low PSI tires (around 5psi), so it makes for a bumpy but fun ride.
We had a local guy help us with all the machining and welding since we didn't have all the proper tools or space. The green color is just a primer, and I've since painted it metallic silver.

Wow...y'all got me beat. I have a 1985 Honda 125 that I picked up when I was about 12. Poor thing has been beat to hell and just won't give up. Thrown a couple of rods in it, replaced, rebuilt the motor at least once. Flipped it upside down on many a trail. Launched itself out of the bed of a pickup in a rollover collision, but she still gets it. Sitting in the shop right now waiting on a new set of rods...again...
I use a 1996 Yamaha Kodiak 400. I use it like a skidder to haul fuel wood logs from the bush, and haul a trailer holding a full face cord of cut and split fire wood to the wood pile for stacking.
Other times this bike carrys a 2500 watt generator, 5 gal gas can, 5 gal drinking water can. and small cooler, and those items are strapped on only the front of the bike.
On the rear is the large cooler, chainsaw, and various other stuff.
Great machine, the only real short coming is that it is useless in the snow even when there is only a couple of inches. It will run fine on the levels, but it loses it on the steep hills. Then I can only wait for enough snow for the snowmobile.

Nice rides, everyone! We should all get to together and terrorize the woods! Some of you 4x4 riders can pull me out of the deep holes (after you catch up)
If I could only afford to drag my beast down there
. With 2 winches on there I'm sure I could get you out of most anything:thumbup:.I have been known to drag my buddies out of their predicaments, because of this I have been called "trail AAA" or "trail maintenance "

They are hugely popular in my area too, and 95% of the people who own them don't own an acre of land... they just tear the crap out of everyone else's property.
As I'm typing this, I'm listening to some idiot with a straight pipe on his ATV blatting around in the woods behind my house (posted private property).
I bought a Yamaha Kodiak 400 when they first came out in the nineties, but sold it after a few years. I used it mostly for ice fishing and working around my property. I'm tempted to get another one, but I've become irritated at the very sound them!
Stay sharp,
