ATC Walk Around Video

Posted some new vids of D on the 250R Astro Conv

D's vid of the 250R just hit over 100 hits (today is 09 Jan 2010).

There are a couple of vids of D because I feel his nasty Honda 250R ATC Astro Conversion is a little piece of ATV history. It is super unique and something that will probably be of value to a collector someday. We'll see. I am trying to convince the wife that in March 2010 we should make a run to Coral Pink Sand Dunes, we'll see if she bites.

Sand is still better than Snow.

These are some more pics from Cherry Creek 2008.



The Scrambler 50 is an excellent bike for the kids (and adults even enjoy it). It is comfortable, quiet and 2 stroke so it has more power than you would think.



The Honda 300 is now long gone, sold.

Big Red with Chains

:)

I had to put some pics of the Big Red with the chains on. I modded them so they fit really nice and tight, and they work great! I plowed today and it was great. The Big Red even drives pretty good in the snow, kind of floats on the snow (I only got stuck once). The only negative is it is a little bumpy when you get going. I love it, this is the most fun I have had in the snow in years.

Snow again soon, please!


Now I need a wind shield and a front tire.

Trying to Trade For a New Front Tire

D gave me this nice Kenda Front tire and rim, but it won't fit my Big Red, so I am trying to trade it for a good tire to replace my badly cracked and slow leaking no tread tire.

Plowing with the ATC

Some video of me plowing. It took some getting used to but I think I have almost figured it out.

Christmas eve I took back the chains that were the wrong size and got the right ones from Cabelas. After a little modification I got them on and took them out to try. They help so much! Now I won't get stuck, well at least I will be able to back up when I do. Pretty cool! I think this is my best Christmas present ever!

Hope it snows again soon!!!!

Big Red Christmas Plow!!!!

I got it!!!!

Took a little work (2hrs) to get the plow all hooked up then I took it out to see if it would do the job. Oh yeah, it will, it works it is awesome!!!

The picture is post digging around in the yard. I have a lot to learn about how to drive and push the snow, but it will be fun learning.

I found my 1984 Honda Big Red 200ES!!!

Last night and this morning I posted a WTB add in a couple spots on KSL's classifieds. Response was limited but successful. And I got a little note from KSL for posting my ad in the wrong place. It was worth it I had an older gentleman in my same town call and express interest, but he wanted to work some kind of joint-ownership timeshare thing, so I went to look. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, it had the busted front shocks. Another fellow down in Payson had one that was in good mechanical condition but really ugly, so of course I was interested. I am heading down in a few minutes to see if it is all he says it is, and I am excited!

Here are a couple of the pictures he sent of this almost 26 year old classic.


No rear fender, ripped seat, almost bald front tire, yep this the one.

My favorite part is it is already tagged and good till next year!
