What was your first ride?

I started off with the famous ET bicycle (a bike that was themed to ET the movie). It had a plastic seat and solid rubber wheels. Eventually I move to a murray and then the famous Honda 300 Fourtrax.

The 300 was a great bike, and was found on just about every farm in america. It was a 1992 model, the first day i got it put over 20 miles on it cruising around the farm and the yard. When my dad got home he gave me a good chewing, I was 12 years old and didn't realize riding around the house in the yard killed the grass. So with my first ATV came my first dirt track.

I did many things on my 300, fished, hunted, camped, and even pulled some calves. Yes thats right, I actually pulled a calf with my bike. My dad worked shiftwork for over 30 years, so I was his lookout when he was gone. I came up on a cow one day that was birthing a calf, withs its hind legs sticking out. She had been there for a while and wasn't able to get the hips pushed out. I was able to get her up to the cattle shut and had to use a pull chain on the calf. I backed the bike up and used it to put some tension on the chain. With a little pull I was able to get the calf out safely.

A lot of kids these days don't get a chance to ride ATV's, mainly because people say they are unsafe or there is no place to ride. But I was fortunate enough to have one and I enjoyed every minute of it, and I hope my kids get the same chance. So if you haven't bought an ATV, you need to make that purchase and enjoy your time with it. It will be well worth the purchase.

First bicycle was a Road Runner. Then it was a Browning 3 speed.

First quad was a LT250R Quadracer. It was very fun and extremely fast.

My first ATV was a 1974 Honda ATC 90.

My older brother taught me how to ride it back in 1987. .. since then, I've had ATC 110, ATC 185s, ATC 200x, LT-250R, Trx250x, Trx250R's, and a Trx400ex for my wife. . .. it's been a fun progression.

My first ride was a murry dirt bike then moved to a 110 3wheeler then a 86 model 225 moto4 which i still have and love to ride. I started my son when he was 9 on a 185 suzuki he's 11 now and rides a 2006 yamaha 450 and cant what for the weekends to go ride.

I had a 85 Honda Big Red, which I ended up putting myself in the hospital with. Later on my dad bought a set of 96 Polaris 400 Scramblers, which got me back into atving.

after the Scrambler, I bought a 2002 yamaha Raptor 660
Then went to a 2006 Raptor 700
Then i went to the 2004 YFZ 450 that I have now.

Started in 1966 on a Honda 50 then in 1972 My Dad bought the 1st Honda ATC 90 in these parts. Got a Suzuki 100 enduro. my brother, myself and my Dad got into English observed trials, popular in Europe to this day, never really caught on big here in the US and rode an Ossa 250, then onto a Bultaco 350 Sherpa T. Quit racing for my love of Wrestling in high school and got a full ride in college. got into cross country racing around 7 years ago on a Polaris Predator 500 and now race the Outlaw. Lots of miles on my belt, lol.
