ATVs, Do YOU own one?

I was just wondering if anyone other than me owns an ATV... If so, what type is it?

I own a Predator 500.

Are you serious? I bet that is one KICKASS bike. Right now im thinkin about buying myself a Yamaha Banshee, maybe next spring. I was actually going to get it this summer, but i decided to give it a year, because there is so many new ones coming out and i might change my mind, Although i will PROBABLY still get a banshee. DAMN those things are fast.

Why dont you just get a car... its kinda a waste of money for an ATV; I belieave.

Well, my dreams of getting one. It's not coming out until 2003. I currently have a Polaris Trail Blazer (2002 edition). But as soon as the Predator 500 comes out I'm getting it! These are some other ATVs I'm looking forward to:

Trail Boss 330
Magnum
Mossy Oak Camo Series
Scrambler

If you want the features for the Predator 500 then I'll have to find the magazine I saw it in.

I want to add this to my Christmas list. Lol.

I had a sucky Suzuki Condor III (it has 14 yrs right now) 49cc and i boosted it up to 80cc with a competition Exhaust by Yasuni and performed transmission, also I've a trial motorbike Merlin 370(old as hell too) that my aunt gave me and a 100% tweaked by me piaggio typhoon (evry piece changed to polini) but that was the one i used to move in city and i crashed with it, and i don't feel like repairing it...Anyways i'll stay away from motorbikes 4 a long long time (But i still dream on purchasing a SUZUKI GSX600R or a Honda CBR 600f or Yamaha YZF R6...Only time can tell...)

you can do that with cars, just not very well.....

yup, we did it 4 or 5 times... Once we lost the exhaust...also we fucked up the handbrake in another car doing U turns, so i reccomend do it only with a worthless car.

You want to e careful on a bike, you make mistake when you're coming down then you'll brake something I'm sure of it. I one broke my arm and my ribs were bruised when I messed up on my dirt bike.

Well, all the times i crashed doing dirt wasn't really nothing serious (hurt 2 or 3 day but only contusions), but the serious accident i had it in town against a car that made a forbidden turn...
