Who on this forum has been riding ATV's the longest in Florida.

[Pastense]

I am curious as to who has been riding the longest only within the state.  If you started somewhere else let me know where.  I myself started riding in 1980 on a Honda 90 trike at Holiday Park.

Anyone else?

Well, I started on a honda mini trail 50 (with the fat tires) in 1975 and rode that for several years. I then got an xr 100 in about 1980 or 81, over the next 5 yrs I moved to a cr125 and then a cr250. In 1983 (I think) I got a 250sx and in 1985 I got a Yamaha Tri-Z 250. After that I graduated high school and faded away from riding for several years and then started again in the late 90's. I don't plan on quiting again for a long time.

started at the age of 5 which would be 1982 with a Honda 50(2-wheeler and 4-wheeler later) but they were owned by some friends of the family,,,later we finally got a Honda Fourtrax 200(1988).

All in the Orlando area except when we went to Big Scrub or Croom(when they were great places)

[foreman1]

Started ridin' atc's in 1977 . My first was a 90 as well then maybe a 2 years later Honda put out the 185 with the round head light . This was the predicessor to the 200 big red .
We rode all over south florida , West Hollywood Blvd when pines blvd was 2 lanes from University drive to US 27 by Holly Lake . Also rode by the old Hollywood sportatorium before Chapel trail was built , Willy's bar on the south side of the the Blvd all the way to Snake Creek canal.
Holiday Park was another good spot by the FPL substation /power lines .
8 st to the Chickeeka bordering the Everglades National Park Boundary.
Put a lot miles on them Hondas .

When ever i remember those times when one could ride for what seemed liked an eternity to what kids go through nowadays , its depressing .
Not as much fun as it used tobe .
