"Pull-ur-***" lol jk... about the only thing they make half decent has wheels instead of track on the ground (sorry, alot of guys I hunt with have nothing but **** luck with their Polaris's, I havn't heard any negative about their sport quads)

here is the lineup inside our dirty cluttered shop. cant claim them all as mine since dad bought all of them but there open for me to ride whenever.

That is a 2000 ktm 250 2stroke, a 1980 KDX 250 2stroke, a recon 250, and a yamaha warrior 350.

ATV's FTW. I'm not a fan of bikes...so that rules out the dirt bikes. I've never gone snow mobiling before, but I'm sure it's just as good as 4wheelin.

It's better, higher speeds and you can get further quicker... I'll leave at noon and come back at 5 in the evening and have done a 100mile round trip, gone to a lodge, gotten some munchies. And when you come back at 5:00, you just drive back into the garage.

ATV... you go out at noon, come back at 5:00 full of mud and all sweaty, wash it off so the disc brakes don't go all f*cky on you and then you drive them into the shed. You maybe only did 25-40 miles at less than half the speed of a sled and you're hungrier than sin because you couldn't get across that lake to get to your favourite lodge.

Sledding is more fun, but I love both of em.


Sifd, any problems with that Yami warrior? I'm looking at picking a cheap one up and turning it into a Dunebuggy this summer...

If you were a snowmobiler you'd love winter, at least it'd give you something to do, trust me, nothing better than a nippy sunny day and walking into a lodge with a wood fire going on. Shootin the breeze for a while and then driving home at speeds that ATV's can't even achieve.

oktain- no we have not had any real problems with the warrior. the seat is off in the picture because it usually has a battery tender on it.

there are good atv's and everybody I have known with one likes them. The motor is strong and there is usually plenty of aftermarket parts for them.

Those 500 Indy's were nice sleds. Not the fastest but they were nice, my 17 yr old neighbour has one and has no problem keepin up to me on my F5. Mind you I'm not trying to lose him either lol.

Nice scooter too lol, I'd be a little afriad at 67 on that thing.
