I am always looking for a new story. If you have a story that you would like to be told or if you have a concern that needs to be addressed in the public media ... by all means ... let me know!

For the types of stories I usually write you can check out my website. I try to do stories that will benefit the ATV community in some way! But am open to any story, interview or issue that others might find interesting!

How about something along the lines of ATVing becoming a more mature sport. I like to compare ATVs to Harleys. 30-40 years ago everyone assumed a Harley rider was an outlaw, today everyone rides Harleys, and their fundraising efforts are heralded all over. 20 years ago, ATVs were most commonly associated with a rowdy neighborhood kid, tearing up the neighbor's yard. Today we have people from all walks of life enjoying a nice trail ride on big luxury monster quads. As with any type of news story, boring doesn't sell, so only bad things make the press. The non-riding community for the most part sees ATVing as a problem because they only hear about crashes, trespassing and whatnot. Are there ATV riders that cause peoblems? Sure there are, but that's all anyone ever hears about. Outside of ATV Magazines and forums, there is never any articles about the enjoyment of the sport, the cleanup efforts of clubs or the fundraisers. I could rant on all day, but I'll get off my soapbox now.

      As the title says I am on the search for a used OEM 1995 King Quad Carb. I believe it says Mikuni on the side. If you could even help me find info on which carb it is exactly that would be helpful too, or motorcycles/other quads that use the same carb. Thanks!

      Hi everyone,
       I often work on both ATVs and larger construction equipment, and I’m always on the hunt for solid OEM manuals—service, repair, and parts. The usual searches give a lot of random PDFs or unofficial scans that aren’t very trustworthy.
      What online sources do you all use when you need a factory manual quickly? Are there sites you’ve found that consistently provide genuine OEM content for ATVs or heavy machinery?
      I recently came across Heavy Equipment Manual, which claims to provide verified OEM service and parts manuals (covering brands like Caterpillar, Komatsu, Kubota, etc.). Has anyone here tried it, or do you have other go-to resources you’d recommend?
      I’m interested in options that are:
      ·        Fast to download
      ·        Cover both heavy equipment and ATV models
      ·        Clear on licensing and safety
      Thanks for sharing your experiences and any recommendations!

      Hello my name is David, I have been riding for over 30 years ATV, dirt bikes, S x S you name it. I ride with a small group off and on though out the years. Currently, we have only three of us that have been riding this year and we are looking for more people to join us!
      If you're in the Northern California area and looking for people to join on weekend and day trip rides send me an email: [email protected]! We have been to many OHV sites all over the state and we usually try to meet up for a ride once a month. 
      I look forward to hearing from you!

      The family has two quads and have been asking where to ride around here- we are about 70 miles north of spokane and looking for places that are nice to go visit for beginners.
      We have a 2003 Polaris sportsman, and a 2004 Artic Cat 2-up (I forget the size)

      I have an older 2000 Honda 450 ES which has been a tremendous workhorse since owning it new.  I'm now looking to update neglected maintenance on the machine, looking for advice initially on brake work?
