What atv you run

[foster]

Well!
What a delight to see some 3-wheel fans on here.
I always wanted a bike, but being a poor boy, could never afford one.
Then one day i ran into an old guy who had a 185s ('83) in mint shape. He was its only owner, and used it only from Jan. to March each year, and only to drive the couple of miles to his ice fishing shack which you can see from his living room window. The rest of the time it sat in his garage -- never even seen mud, dust or pavement. You could tell he takes good care of his stuff because you could eat off the floor of his garage. He took my $750 and thought he was over-charging me.
I think he undersold himself.
Heck, he only put about 15 tanks worth of gas through the thing in 20 years! Everything on it is stock, still the original tires at about 95% tread.
Bought it in September and I've probably increased the mileage on the thing by 1,000% since then. I ride it almost every weekend and I'm still learning but having a freakin' blast.

I haven't flipped it backwards -- yet -- nor run over my feet with the rear tires yet, lol, but I'm sure it will happen. Tipped it over a few times, though.
I've put it through some very deep water, no problem. And if the water gets really deep, well, IT FLOATS!
The big fat front tire has a problem in the soft snow. It's hard to push that fat, knobby sucker through soft snow. Turns on a dime, though, so I can go right through the woods -- no trails necessary, although where I live we are blessed with unlimited ATVing trails.
I used to borrow my brother's Honda Foreman often for hunting, so I do know that there will be places I won't be able to follow my 4-wheeled hunting/fishing pals.
But it hasn't happened yet.
And I've already left them behind several times as I take to the deep woods, weaving between the trees.
Cheers
