Hello,

Just wanted to introduce myself and start the 10 Post counter. I"m new to the forum but not new to the world of ATC's. My first ATC was a 1979 110 that was a complete and total POS but it was my POS. As an adult, I've returned to the world of ATC's and now have a 1983 110 that is in my mind pretty much awesome. I'm an avid Duner and always take my 110 with me. Below is a shot from this past Halloween:

Thanks! That picture was taken at the pole near Oglby. My buddy had his 125 with him so we figured we needed to make a cocktail run on the ATC's. :)

Bombing thru the dunes on non suspended trikes is definitely going back in time. The first trike I rode in Oregon dunes back in 1984 was a 185s with front suspension, then I got ride an 85 250r. I can tell you with certainty that I did not want to get back on the 185. :D

x2 I had an 82 185s and a couple of 250 Odysseys. The 185s was eventually fully suspended but totally outclassed when the 200X came out. Sold it and never looked back. Until now. I wouldn't mind having a nice stock 82 185s again.

I wouldn't really say we were "Bombing" :lol: by any means but it was fun. Quads are the lazy way to get around in the dunes but the ATC always manages to make it's way into the trailer. I remember my first trip to the dunes in 1984 (Yikes!) and I rode a 1983 185s with the front suspension. Of course at age 14 and maybe 100 pounds soaking wet, the 185 pulled me around pretty easy.

Truth be told, I registered with 3 wheelerworld because myself and two friends are racing a 1985 250r in the 2015 NORRA Mexican 1000. I haven't posted in the racing section because I"m still shy of the 10 post minimum.

We'll be racing that bad boy 1,200 miles from Ensenada to Cabo on April 25-29. Our facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/DynamicallyUnstableRacing) has most of the details.

And yes, "Dynamically Unstable" comes from the 1987 Honda Motor company lawsuit that ultimately killed our ATC's. It's a public page so feel free to like and poke around.

Wow Odysseys.. Now we're really heading down memory lane. :) If you ever get the chance to ride the dunes in CA, take it. It's well worth the time and effort to get there.
