I started out on a 1985 LT230GE GE stands for Gangster Edition.

yes it was realy slow and I got it brand new when i was 5. I wrecked it 3 times..maybe 4...I would take it to my grandads shop when i was like 8 or 9 and drill holes in the exhuast and take my grandmas rubbing alcohol and pour in the tank to make it go (probably blow) faster. Then the horses ate the seat, the rear end went out and i forget but my dad ended up selling it for 200 dollars in 94. You can't even find pictures of them on the net..just the ghey ones with the racks or the sport editions..mine was orange with gangsta gold wheels.

REPRESENT THE ATC 70 BOYS. Graduated to a Yami YT125 tri moto and it was all up hill from there. Three wheelers were the S#!% back in the day but eh not so much anymore

as for BSCOTT i just restored one of those GANSTA EDITION suzukis for the fun of it, it sits collecting dust only to be started about once a month to keep the rings from sticking. RIDE ON

I also started out on a 400ex. I bought it new and built it for mx. Its now owned proudly by my brother which is also a member of this site, and I now own an 06 yfz. Maybe I can get him to post some pics sometime.

i started out on a 200es atc, w/ welded front forks and solid rear. talk about a ruff ride.

Finally i got an 87 250X then had another 88 and a 92 250x, I swapped a 350X motor in my old 87, talk about a bad *** quad. then i ended up blowing the 87 up and i didn't ride again for 3 or 4 years

then i stumbled across an 86 honda 250R then i bought an 88 250R with a 295 big bore about a year later, now i got 330 now and a 06 YFZ now

I started out on a '03 warrior, then I just got a 2005 YFZ450 SE today.
Warriors are reliable
