winters comin around and i know i cant be the only one on here that has been praying for some snow. and i know i am not the only one on here into powersports so list up your rides, post pics, let everyone know where you like to ride.

I have an 04 rancher es, and i ride in a private development where my dad owns 6 or 7 lots, i think 4 back up to woods and i ride all through out there.

lets see what everyones got!

[Proven]

When ever I have a quad over the winter it doesn't snow, when I don't have one we get bombed. It never fails..

Bikes/quads I've had in descending order -

-87' Trx250r (wasn't finished with ground up build when it snowed last winter)
-88' Trx250r (sold previous summer)
-86 350x (road over my leg first day, trikes are dangerous ha!, sold)
-03 Z400 (440 kit, ran great, never snowed)
-03 ktm125 (not a snow machine)
-00 RM125 ( " " )
-87 Tecate 4 (snowed but was by myself all night = beat)
-89 500 quad racer (Literally sold 3 days before a big snow storm)
-90 250x (snowed, but friend wrecked bad about 20 mins into riding, went to hospital instead)

If you want it to snow this season you better hope I don't get one soon . The time I did get to ride in the snow were incredible no doubt. Riding on public roads, highschools, etc etc.

that 86 350x is sick my dad had one a while back, last year i rode all over when we had that big storm. i got chinese food, went thru mcdonalds drive thru on my rancher haha also went to the grocery store numerous times haha it was great i wish you could ride them around all the time

[RSX Type-Slow]

Although I dont personally own any, I do go quadding, jetskiing, and snowmobiling a few times a year. Thank God I have friend with multiple machines. Great times to be had on anything with a motor!

I did have a showroom fresh KLX110 I dicked around on in the neighborhood and such, but sold it a few years ago. I miss that little thing

ATVs Polaris Sportsman 700, Blaster, and a Kubota RTV
Dirtbikes, YZ80 with a 125 motor in it

00 RM 125
And a chinese XR50 with a 128cc Lifan motor (4 speed w/ clutch!) Thing rips!

I rarely get to ride the 125 because I live on an acre of land, but the pitbike is perfect for those days where I want to putz around they yard a bit. Really fun to wheelie.

I got the RM125 about 6 months ago, it still had its original piston in it! And the rings had almost no blowby! I still put a top end in it anyway, but needless to say, I was pretty pleased to see that.

Picking up a new Sled in January State Forrest trails start directly across the street from my house. My neighbors have them and ride all the way to Montreal from here.

[RWDTurbo149]

My main ride:

ktm 350

[jesse096]

I've got my Polaris Outlaw 500, and Suzuki Eiger 400 to play with, the Outlaw is a mean ass machine in the snow...

If it snows, we should all have a TST quad/bike meet to ride.

i been riding/racing for some time....had ktm50, rm65s, rm85s, and then yz250s...sold them this year dont ride anymore but eh i miss it.
the day i sold my last bike (few months ago) i cried as the guy pulled outta the driveway.
my dad has 2 sleds but i barly get to ride them.....remember with big storms though we rode to the mall hahaha everything was closed

[xarchiex]

i reaced motocross since i was about 13 but stopped a couple years ago.had fully built rm85. a thumpstar pit bike man i miss that and i still have my rmz250f sittin in my garage with all motorwork.it never gets ridden though.

[300zx_tt]

i havent ridden in a while either, my rancher has about 160 miles on it, i had a big bear 250 before that and i beat the **** out of the thing haha rode it a ton then bought the rancher and sold the big bear but i fell out of my groove during the transition. I miss my dirtbikes too but they were only good to ride in the spring summer and fall and my dad and brothers would be out in the snow and id be inside so i decided to make the switch and havent looked back since haha

[mx931]

yeaa i miss my 2 strokes....literally beat the piss out of them and they were so great to me, literally the transfermation from 2 stroke to 4 stroke sucked.
2 stroke ftw.....oh and yea i had 2 yz250fs too bring um backk!!!!

[xarchiex]

i like 2strokes but for the hardcore racin the 4stroke was the way to go.now if i was to get back into ridin id prob just pit ride and would love a nice 250 2stroke to rip.but the pure power of the 4strokes is amazing compaired to clutchin a 2stroke for power

[300zx_tt]

i started ( at the age of 7) on a 4 stroke then as i got more into it i went back and forth three or four times from 2 stroke back to 4 stroke. the 2 stokes were fun but like you said the power of a 4 stroke was amazing. i will always be into powersports and when i have kids ill buy them dirtbikes before i buy myself a better car because theres something about the fun times and memories with them, ill always remember the times me and my family went riding as a kid. and for anyone that has never ridden i highly suggest geting into it, its a great time for everyone even if your a beginner

[RWDTurbo149]

the 2 stroke vs 4 stroke thing isnt really a matter of power, but more of traction. The 4stroke hits so much smoother than a 2stroke.


I'm actually AA (pro), and i've been racing off-road for 10 years now.

Here is an old video from last year (i was still A class back then, surprisingly i can ride a lot faster than this now )

yes rwd you are correct i raced motocross in classb all over.when younger was one the 2strokes then when moved up made the switch but i personally prefer the 4strokes.when i was younger i wish the honda 150r was out because seein that puts the 85s to shame.

haha i wish the same thing too!!! those 150's are badass!!! i feel like they could have hauled my butt around a lot faster than my 85's did hahah

[420sx]

Ive wanted a 250f for the LONGEST time. Still outta my pricerange. The ones that are in my pricerange are beat to piss. Im alright on a 125, but I can RIP on a 250f... I guess everyones like that though.

Totally down for a TST snow ride though! Or any ride, really- if anyones got a place to ride around here, Im down. We could also hit the coal mines in Hazleton- 2 hrs from me, but you can ride all day for free, and hit many different terrains. Hillclimbs, trails, silt dunes.. its a blast.
