Greetings,
Hopefully I'm not too late to the party? I've been a forum fan for many years now but I see them slowly dying due to facebook..... Bla.... Real forums are one of the best sources of good quality information available. Happy to be here.
About myself: I've been upsessed with offroad vehicles since I was 7 or 8 but my parents couldn't afford to buy me anything. One day, when I was about 10, my dad's buddy gave him his kids "junk". This was a ATC70 3 speed that wouldn't run. My cousin and I, with ZERO mechanical knowledge, cleaned out the gas tank and carb and it ran - push start only. Those were some of the most memorable days of my childhood.
Fast forward 25 years to today, after owning various Banshees, 400ex's, too many dirtbikes, I'm back to the ATC. I regularly ride my KTM500xcf-w, but I came across a atc70 for a few hundred bucks. Non stop fun. After riding it around with my 2yr old son, I decided I needed another and I managed to find a near mint 1984 ATC110. WHAT A FUN UNIT!!!
Anyways, thanks for having me! Look forwarding to learning and sharing!
