As a kid some of my friends had dirt bikes or four wheelers. I never did. Begged my parents for one.
Took me until after college to get my first. Then I got involved with an ATV forum through a car friend. Was a pretty popular site for a while, then the creators lost interest. I was starting to take over until the person that first registered the domain didn't renew it. I had been asking him to transfer it to me. He didn't know much about it and just let it expire thinking I could just easily buy it after, but it got sniped. But that's another story.
Pretty much had an ATV or two since that time. Right now have a 2005 Kawasaki Brute Force 750 I picked up from one of my ATV friends after he had problem with it then let it sit a couple years. Still kinda piecing it back together.
