Looks like a cool place to ride. Heres some Oreon pics.

I have heard Laker is better quality. You can get it through these guys. Laker Custom Plastics - ATV Accessories | Lonestar Racing

Same age I started ridding at. 44. Everyone else started when the were much younger.

Trucks? I love that show. Crazy Horse was Bad a$$.

Dont have these anymore. My 78 1/2 Ton Short Box And my 73 3/4 Ton Factory High-Boy (I miss that truck.

Yeah, me too. But both those are well over 5 grand. I like 67 or 68 Shelby GT-500 like Elinore in Gone in 60 seconds. I think they were taking 68 Fastbacks and making them look like 67 GT-500s for the movie. I've alway been a Ford guy. Mostly 4x4s. 73-79s. But, recently been considering either a 73 or 74 Chevy 3/4 ton short bed for my next toy. Now, I gotta see if I can find some pix of some of my old Fords.

It was $5000. I think it was a '73. Its a V8. 351. Count the plug wires. If I would have bought the Stang I probably wouldnt have a drivers license anymore. LOL. My Dream car is a 68 Fastback. Shelby would be nice, but pretty much unaffordable for me. Not to mention gas is over $4 a gal now.

Heres my story. Kinda long. I guess I was a late bloomer when it comes to quads. I had never ridden a quad in my life. Rode Dirt Bikes as a kid growing up. Back in Oct of '06 I found a Mustang on craigslist. Took it for a test drive one morning before work. Fast car. 351 Cleveland. I had planned on meeting the guy again after work. For some strange reason thats still to this day beyond me, I stopped in Hillsboro MotoSports on the way home from work. I had 6 Grand on me. There was a left over '05 sitting by the front door. It was on sale for $4999. It was $5499 OTD. I didnt even look at anything else. I knew nothing about quads accept I thought it really looked coool and I had the money in my pocket to buy it. I was sitting on it when the salesman walked up and asked... "Can I help you?" Without hestitation I pulled 60 Ben Franklins outta my front pocket and said "I want this Quad. Load it up in my truck." It was just about dark by the time I drove away from the shop. BTW, I didnt bother to ask my ol lady if I could buy it. LOL. Anyway, I took it by the house and showed her. She was kinda stunned but not mad. We drove over to a friend of mines house and unloaded it. I took it to the field across the street from his house. HOLY CHIT!!!!! I was surprised by the power. I had it for about 2 weeks and took it to Sand Lake. I was there a few hours and rolled it on a banked turn at the top of the bowl right before you get to the one-ways. When it rolled, I flew off and landed on my belly. The quad came bouncing and landed on my back. For a month I couldnt even walk. I was scared of it. I considered trading it for a 250EX. Went back to the shop. The salesman said..."Dude!!! You dont want a 250EX!!! Trust me. Just get used to it" I still wasnt convinced. I put it on craigslist for $4000. Calls were coming in. I had a guy that wanted to come look at it that evening. I decided to take it for one last ride at Browns Camp before I sold it. I was still afraid of it. After about 5 minutes I started feeling comfortable on it again. I decided right then, I loved my Honda 450 and would learn how to ride it instead of selling it. That was late Nov of '06. Work was slow for a Painter in Oregon. My new job everyday? Going to Browns Camp and ridding my Quad. I bought my Girl Friend an '02 Blaster. I rode my 450 for 4-6 hours almost every single day for 3 months. And yes, I know my way around Browns Camp pretty well. LOL. In March I bought her an '06 TRX250EX (Thank God I didnt trade my 450 for one of those) LOL Since then, I have become totally addicted to quads. I love them. Couldnt imagine not owning at least one quad. Luckily I have two. My "07 was $6500 OTD in July of '07. Bought it for my Girlfriend. Traded in her 250 EX. A month later we broke up. So, I wound up with two Honda 450's.

This gives me an idea for a new thread. I got a deal on my '05 at $4999back in Oct of '06. It was $5499 OTD. I had never ridden a quad in my life. I had 6 grand on me that day and was planning on buying a Mustang. For some strange reason thats beyond me, I stopped in Hillsboro MotoSports on the way home from work. I was sitting on an '05 when the salesman walked up and asked... "Can I help you?" Without hestitation I pulled 60 Ben Franklins outta my front pocket and said load it up in my truck. Since then, I have become totally addicted to quads. I love them. Couldnt imagine not owning at least one. Luckily I have two. My "07 was $6500 OTD in July of '07.Here is the Mustang I was going to buy instead.

Anybody wanna car pool with me to Eddieville on June 7th? Welcome to Over The Bars Gang's Website - Homepage On the 8th I was going to do the Poker Run at Browns Camp.
