  1. very cool! Those things are hard to hurt, these just keep going...I LOVE Ebay- there's all kinds of stuff out there!!! I'm working on a 90 and a 110 right now. those old guys are starting to get snatched up and fortunately for us, most owners don't think they're worth much. with a littlke work.....the atc110 just needed a carb kit, $13 on ebay w/freight, it runs like new! they're so simple you cant hurt them. Hey if anyone needs an atc90 engine, a guy up the street from me has TWO, both running. wantsn like$50 each I think, I'll have to nail him down on that. He GAVE me a good atc90 tank that was laying under a tree! and I bot a clarke plastic tank from arkansas for a really good price. chvylvr on ebay has a BUNCH of stuff and he's treated me really nice! I recommend him. Let me know if you find another 70- - the neighbors grandkids are that age and it would be a great start
  2. yeah man it does happen! years ago was atv connection and bluetraxx, I still visit, people migrating is a good thing since they know what NOT to do to a site hehe. Plus people's tastes change too.....as long as you have a cool, polite site, it's gonna grow. and for that you need creative, empowered moderators, not powerless targets and 'bots' checking up on you. In five years there I never banned one single person and neither did Roody. We made a pretty good team. all for naught it would seem. Once again, HAPPY to be here! will have some videos when I figure out how the wireless works on this laptop...
  3. TBlazer I think yer prob right! I think BuckBilly is right too. IMHO I think theyre trying to sell atvfan. perhaps theyll sell it to can-am. and that's a shame, cuz we started out at 120 members there and took it to nearly 6,000 and suddenly they don't care what we think. Oh well, their loss, I'm pleased with the reception I have received here to be sure!
  4. Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Admin, by the way, you now have atvfan's last 2 and longest serving moderators, Roody and me. I wish atvfan luck.
  5. Winchester Bay is too expensive from here, plus all I have right now for 3 wheelers is a 81 atc110, nearly complete, and a 69 atc90 in factory green! was in a barn in prineville... lots of work to do to it......it'll have to be red now of course... one of these days we'll make it over, after I knock off a gas station perhaps hahaha.....
  6. Well Thanks man! I don't think much of that other character either IMHO. Happy to be friends! Modding for 5 years is a lot of stress! It's time for me to have some fun! thanks again!
  7. Mine is a BulletCam, had it about 3 years now, it's the one NASA uses on the space shuttle. It too has a 'place it anywhere' mic with wind noise reduction. You have to carry a camcorder with this one but they keep getting smaller... UNIQUE feature: if you have a SONY camcorder that has a LANC connector on it, most do, they sell a LED equipped switch that plugs in there. So instead of just starting the camcorder and going for a ride, I have a waterproof button in the corner of my visor with red and green LEDs. Pushing the button turns the camera on and off when you want, which saves editing time and the LED blinks for things like low battery, low tape, malfunction so I know what is going on inside the backpack. I KNOW I got the shot this way. Plus it comes with Lexan lenses that cover the genuine SONY camera lens. I can wipe off the lexan lens or replace it on the trail as needed. :rolleyes: altogether very pleased. Helmet Cameras from Bullet Cam. Helmet Cams for motorcycles, boating, hunting and virtually any activity
  8. I'm surprised the patrol car didn't run over the guy to make sure he didn't attempt an escape on foot! hahaha HOLY COW! you sure this isn't prineville oregon?
  9. SandWizards Racing? cool! those guys always come over to our annual race at Bend. the JokerPokerRun. I'm a member of COMAC, the sponsors. I always try and talk with our buddies from the wet side of the mountains. We've probably met... small world!
  10. I noticed BB cuz I wondered where he went and said HI to everyone. Why would someone be jumping boat? If you have a bone to pick, have at it. I used to work for atvfan as a moderator that's all. For FIVE YEARS. I saw a lot of people come and go. I never banned anyone cuz only the two owners could do that. Your problem may be with them, not me. Dustin Tenney and Jerry Nowell. I just wanna make friends and have fun OK?
  11. I meant HELLO for EVERYBODY! I don't have a problem with anyone.....this is just internet hehe. As I mentioned, there was a lot of pressure there and a break from that was needed. No reason we can't be friends.....
  12. hey there's Billy- I wondered where you went! too much stress at the other place for me. Actually I'm a retired firefighter.....easy to hold two careers when youre in that business... Now with the heart and the hernia and gut it is strictly easy stuff so I tinker a lot and do maintenance for some govt agencies and SAR. It's fun mostly. Hey I found a 69 Honda atc90 in factory green in a barn in Prineville! so am restoring that now- most parts here- red tho THANK YOU for the warm welcome. seems there are many friends here from that other site.
  13. old fart for others haha. atv connection, bluetraxx, atvsource, atvfan. I think I'll like it here, it comes highly recommended by quadcrazy and stoopidbot. Raptor8, Bend Oregon. old honda/Yamaha mechanic, retired now, I do restos for fun and routine maintenance and several others to keep me busy... happy to help anyone if I can. No baloney- if I don't know I got no problem saying so. Currently recovering from hernia surgery and a bowel resection so am not very active for another month or so
