The snowmobileworld admin has the rights to the domain atvworld.net.....therefore, hopefully they will create a sister site for the subject of atvs...

I think that it would be a good idea to have an ATV section on this site. That way they are keeping thair members loged on to this site. The web site atvtimes.com looks preaty established and would be hard to compete with, just like if they started up an sled site they would have a hard time getting members because they are all here. My main intrest is sledding but would like to see the odd ATV post when I log in here.

I would love to see a ATV board that had the same quality as this board. *I've visited many of them, and don't think the are anywhere near this board.

I would certainly frequent it.

P.S. But my posts have to count here too, or I'll never get to be the Supreme Fishing God.

I have an 83 Honda ATC 200X that I ride a couple of times a year. I don't get really excited about riding it like I do when I'm waiting for the snowmobile season to start.

If the ATV riders want a site they should let their feelings be known and a separate site can be started.

Doesn't matter to me.Whats the big deal if they start it on this forum.Just another catagory,don't click on it if you don't want anything to do with it.It might be a long off season if we don't spark up something new. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sleepy.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sleepy.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sleeping.gif

http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif I do not mind a catagory for atv. *I ride both. *if you are not interested don't click on it
it would be better to have a link to the atv site at the top of the page
if cory can make a profit then I think it is a good idea *don't know where I would get the time *I barely have enough time to check the posts on this site. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif *oh yes *if there is snow on the trail I do not *take my wheeler on the trail but would like to be able to use them *when the snow is off.
if atver and snowmobilers do not work together it is harder for each group to fight the tree huggers who want to keep motorized recreation out of the areas we like to ride.

I'd be in for an atv site. I got my first atc ('85 Honda 200x), which my father gave me last summer (because it had a flat tire and he didn't use it anymore) that I immediately took apart the engine, did a little porting, bought a DG pipe with adjustable backpressure (discs), added a K&N air filter, jetted up, and installed two new rear tires. What I would like to learn from other atver's, would be how to ride without getting hurt. On my third ride with the bike (in a sand pit), my right foot hooked a piece of steel strapping which also caught my rear wheel and tore my foot off (95% amputated) and wrapped it around the rear axle. I've since made a good recovery (thankfully with my own foot and not a prosthetic) and plan on driving the bike in the same sandpit this summer. Would be good to read about tips, tricks and habits other atver's have for riding safely.

What I do with any ATV with open foot wells, is install Nerf Bars! Most are under $140. Most people are hurt when a leg comes off the peg, then when it gets near the rear tire it pulls you off.
It's a good idea to have them, if you can't buy them, make something to block a leg or foot from going past the rear fenders.

i had a 200x also. You probably have the rubber foot pegs ? the problem is the end part breaks and you foot always falls of the peg! Listen to toydoc, he knows what he is taking about. Only bad thing about that atv is the fact that there is no suspension. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I have since replaced my bent foot peg (it is all steel on mine), and made myself a small brush guard in front of my feet (see pic.). It looks a little funny, but not as funny as when my foot was just hanging there by a little skin. I did check around online for a nerf bar, but couldn't find any for a 200X. I never really thought about behind my foot, which is actually what did the damage. I will try and make something for that. I will also be using motocross boots this summer instead of just work boots. The best thing would be to buy a 4-wheeler, but money is a problem there. Thanks for the info. guys !

Well it sorta looks like this poll is turning into a ATV forum. *I agree with the others had to say. If you dont like it dont click it. Gives us a place to go in the off season, and a chance for Mr. Yarek to get some more posts.,lol
