Had a little minibike when I was a kid... no idea of the size...
Rode lots of go carts, ranging from real "store made ones" to home made ones powered with lawn mower engines...
Rode a dirt bike maybe a dozen times, like maybe a 80 or 90cc....
Putted around my friends yard with a kawasaki 125, dual shock (late 70's bike)
Then rode a Suzuki 91 LT160 Quad for a weekend and had a blast....
Decided it was time to buy a quad... started looking...
Rode a 94 Kawasaki Mojave 250... (test ride) - walked away.. big knock lots of potential issues..
Rode a 93 Yamaha Warrior... (test ride) seemed great, more money than I wanted to spend...
Rode a 96 Yamaha Warrior....bought it on the spot....

I may not have a lot of experience, but so far it's been a blast!

here we go

wanted to get into motocross and atvs since i was like 8
begged and cryed and tryed to get one.......didnt happen
it is a dream
i was like 12 and my cousin got a dirtbike that he let me ride wit him
it broke so his daddy bought him a bayou
my dad made a dream come true and bought a warrior (im payin part of the monthly)
dreams can really come true
my cousin sold the bayou and bought a 400ex
and here i am now

just remember dreams can really come true if u stick to them and just keep trying
 
i rode quads and dirtbikes here and there then i ride a snomobile for a while. Went and bought a Polaris 300 4x4 was 2 stroke and bored .30 over. Sold that then bought my Rappy and its been great and runs fast everytime i start her up lol
 
1. Bigfoot power wheels
2. 5 horsepower go-cart
3. 1978 yz80 (not the best but it was good for the year)
4. 1986 yz80 (god i still miss this thing, fast too for only an 80, yes it would have beat my warrior when stock, even with some mild mods maybe)
5. 2001 warrior ( my pride and joy, bought when it was nearly new, had douglas wheels and a billet aluminum axle carrier when i bought it paid 2800 in 2001 and the little tire hairs were still on the tires hahaha, modded it and about 2100 dollars later we have what you see now)

6. Plans are for a banshee next summer, but dont worry the warrior will not be sold, im too far in to get rid of it now, wouldnt get back 1/2 of what i invested. But a banshee is what im in the market for next summer.
 
5hp 2wd go cart(crashed 1st day got it when i was 8 still have)
