2 yrs for us !
Hubby and I grew up with dirt bikes so it was a mutual decesion!

Got my first one in 95 then had to take a sebaticle from riding.  I've been actively riding now for 3 years.  I've loved motorcycles since birth.  No b/f, hubby, or parents to get me interrested or buy me one.  So I finally broke down and did it myself.  Love to ride it's the best hobby.

 5 years here, daughter got a quad for her b-day from grandparents (she let us ride) so now we are all into it...tho hubby has yet to get his quad...still riding the buggy with us.......and hopefully won't be long!

Been riding for about 2years have always been into bikes tried to buy a dirtbike when I was 16 and dad was great cool but mom said no way.  Then about 5 years ago we got into Harleys then 3 years ago we got into ATVs I still have the Harley won't get rid of that

Been riding for about 4 years. My 1st quad was a 300ex, which was ok to learn on! After that I got a 2004 Z400, and a 2001 Yamaha R6...Unfortunatly I had to sell both of them, but have just recently gotten a 2002 400ex. I actually met my boyfriend at Croom, almost 2 years ago! [smiley=Smile.gif]
It's great to have something that is so much fun to do with your other half!

I have only been riding since August of last year.  I bought mine a few days before the group ride on the 14th.  First time riding it was on the Rodman group group.  

My husband got me interested after he bought his.

I have noticed the same thing most of us can blame our husbands.  And you will notice that they will not complain if we spend money on our quads but will complain if we spend money any where else.

Yep my husband is definately the one to blame.  Had he not bought his we would not have 3 right now.  Because after I got mine, we had to buy Caitlin one.

Been riding since I was 5. Brother got a 200 sx we rolled it and moved to the country got into 4 wheelers and had them off and on for 7 yrs, Kinda like the thrill  ;D But back to the same thing my Hubby got him one and I told him either I get one too or he was riding on the back! Needless to say I now have a 99 Blaster with a few mods and in the process of stripping it down and re doing the plastics and graphix. Blaster blue with Pink Graphix  ;D Anyone takes this quad it'll be noticeable!

Hmmm...just realized this section was on the forum  8)

My husband and I purchased our first ATV 4 years ago...I quickly decided I wanted one of my own...now we both race Hare Scrambles - it is addicting.

I started racing 3 years ago...I won the Women's Championship my first and second year which brings me to this current racing season....against the guys in the Quad B class  ;) I received my new YFZ from my Hubby on Valentine's Day and we just finished modifying it...

I have started racing the GNCC races...finishing 4th in my first 2...and in my 3rd race I got stuck in the mud  >:( My goal is to be able to race the full GNCC series next year and years to follow!!

Here is a pic of me at the North Carolina GNCC...from http://www.quadzoneforums.com/forum...read.php?t=3154

Congrats on the move up to GNCC Jen [smiley=ThumbsUp.gif] You go Girl  ;D

Thanks Girl!!!!

How have you guys been???

Jen

Great! Very Busy riding/camping every weekend ;D
We are home this weekend :P
Are you guys going to the S/K Easter Party?

Nah...we haven't been involved with them since way back when...lately it seems that we are traveling "somewhere" every weekend. It is crazy trying to race 2 series...LoL!!!!!!  ;D

RacerGirl, that'a awesome.  It's so great to see so many women riding.  I love hearing about woman that compete and out ride the guys.

  My name is Tiffany and i have been riding since i was 18 i am now 24 ... i  have my fiance into this and he wants to get one . That will be nice all of us riding together .  [smiley=Clap.gif]

I have been riding for 5 years. I started wanting an ATV when I first went camping and than I got my first bike: Honda 400EX. No offense, but I do not like sport bikes and dad didn't know any better! Well now in 3 weeks I am getting an Arctic Cat 400 Auto. I am excited!

WHAT????? You don't like sport bikes??? :o JUST kidding...have fun on your new quad!!!

Dont worry... I like them. But with my sport bike I put it through hell, I treated it as a mud quad! But I can't help but love the mud!

Hi, my name is Lourdes, been riding for the past 6 yearsgot hooked by some friends. My first bike was a honda atc 3 wheeler... know i have a 400cc with 589's and i love it...love the mud....  :)

Always riding as a kid with my uncles on a Honda 110.  Then quit when I finally noticed they were just trying to kill me!!  My hubby only wanted fast quads so I refused to ride, now that Nena helped me get a Rancher I love to ride again.  Only had it 2 months. ;)

I'd been wanting to ride after moving upstate...looked like so much FUN! Got my first 14 months ago...a 2002 Kawasaki Mojave...traded it in 2 months later for a 2004 Honda 250 EX Sportrax...I hated the darn kick start.

I'm the only one in my family that rides...hubby don't ride..my son stopped after he fractured his elbow

I wanna get my 10 year old one so I'll have SOMEone to ride with  ;)

    I rode a friends quad twice at the beginning of last year. I told my husband "Remember you said I need to find a hobby? Well I want a 4 wheeler." I thought he was going to fall out of his chair LOL. So at income tax in Feb 04 he got me a 250R. It was interesting to learn to ride a quad on a two stroke... I couldn't even start it on my own for a month. Of course it didn't take long for my husband to have to get one too.
    Now here I am 15 months later ...racing MX. Go figure :P    
    AND... I won my first moto yesterday!!!!!! I got the holeshot and stayed in front the whole race!!!!! ;D ;D I got stuck in some mud off the gate in the 1st moto and got 3rd :-/ Then came back in the 2nd moto and  got 1st!
I ended up 2nd out of 4 for the day.

Congrats  ;)

Been riding for about a year.  Boyfriend rode dirtbikes when he was younger and I think he was the one that started looking at four-wheelers.  Didn't take long to get me interested and buy one...now we're working on getting a second!  

I'm envious of those of you who have more than one bike.  Ideally someday we'll have two utility quads, a sport bike and a dirt bike for him, two harley's....an RV...a boat...when does it end!?

It never ends.... ;D

HAHAHA

Even if you get done with the quads there is always a next toy and they never end......


In 8 years Mike has gone from a sand rail blower car
to mud truck to drag car to street bike to RC cars and now quads....

what's next? jet skis ::)

The boys grow up but the toys just get bigger and more expensive ;D

I'm right there with you.  I have my wish list that includes those toys as well.  Good luck finding the second quad.

Only since October, 2004. My husband has been riding dirt bikes/four wheelers since a little kid and we bought two new LTZ 400 in October. i am loving it and wish to find some girls willing to ride.  

 [smiley=drive.gif]
Laurie,
   There are a whole lot of us willing and able to ride!!!!

Hey ladies I've Only been riding for about 1 1/2 years but in that time I have managed to have a 2003 660 Raptor, a 2003, Suzuki Z400, a 2004 660 Raptor, and a 2004 KFX 400, but now I just have my favorite one the '04 Raptor.  All of the others have found new loving homes.  I'm hoping some of you ladies will join me this weekend on the speed ride at Big Scrub.

Hey, looks like you're just north of me.  I ride all the time and am always looking for people to ride with.  Kind of busy w/ my business the next few weeks.  Most of the time I ride every weekend I camp any chance I get but at the very least I ride one day.

ATV4ME, I know there are plenty of girls who like to ride, just gotta find them. Some of the girls around here are interested, but dont really like to ride if ya know what I mean.

Raptorbabe82, you sure have had a lot of bikes!

so much to buy, so little money :):)

        I hear that! Well have loved speed and getting down and dirty for over 30 years now and i aint stopping now !! See ya'll on the trails!!!

i've been riding for 2 years &  i'm only six yrs old!!!!!!  

I have seen your pics, you make me very jealous. By the time your 12 It will be unreal on your skills:o

Jenn congrats on you D/L... We know youve been righting before you got out of diapers.

I wish I was riding that young!  Now I just have to make enough money so that my kids can start riding at that age!  

I want to get y'alls opinion.  I want to get a new bike but not sure what to get.  Bobby's been doing all the research so I'm not really very educated on all the bikes out there right now.  I see that some of you have driven a few different ones.  The boys can tell me one thing, but I want to see what bikes the ladies like the best.  I'm looking for a utility quad (no sports bikes for me) and I'm mostly in the mud.  

Any suggestions?  

bump

my mom hase bine ridng atc  all her life and then she had a recon when i was 5 and my dad said sell it but know that i ride she loves riding but she manges to crash every thing lol and she hase gotin my lil sis in to it and her sister in to the sport

I refuse to say just how long I have been riding.  But let me put it this way.  I remember taking my 22 yr old out on the three wheelers when she was 4-5 yrs old.....  using the same math that one should use when determining my age, well that would make it, oh about 6 or 7 years.

          I like you way of not telling age........... [smiley=Approve.gif]

well ive been riding a good 30 years from
dirt bikes,3-wheelers and finally 4 wheelers
(my balance is better on 4 tires)
i'm in my late 40's and dont mind admitting it.
age is mind over matter ... if you dont mind it it
dont matter..

I like your way of thinking!
