Title: How about a blast from the past? 56k its worth it Post by: LakeMaryKid on July 29, 2005, 06:43:56 PM The great LMK Ride on 6-12 of last year. Wow the way time has flew. This was one of the best times i think i have ever had in my life to this day. Nothing but great people doing what they love together. Still can't thank the Mike's enough to this day and all the people that contributed. Still yet to thank some in person that contributed which i hope to get a chance to do so. The ride was held at Ida_Manns cabin.
Now for you newbies who are wondering why it was called the LMK Ride. This thread was lost not long ago and many wish it wasnt. The reason it was called the LMK Ride was because my name is LakeMaryKid changed for the mean time for giggles. ATVFL members got together and raised money to help me get the bike that i have today. A 2000 400ex that was in rough shape that was bought for 1000 dollars in Louisiana. I had 500 dollars and this site (ATVFLORIDA) raised 500 dollars for me by people chipping in. When this bike got here it was in some ROUGH shape. And trust me it was. You will see later on in pictures of the restoration process. This restoration project was taken on by one of the members on this site that goes by the name Nightbreed who today formally owns All Terrain Performance. This bike was a miracle bike. When we got it the thing would not start. It would only turn over. And it looked hideous, the pipe was gutted and rusty the frame was chipped and rusty and the engine and head pipe was CAKED in clay and mud. The bike was torn down and the engine was repaired by Mike (Nightbreed) and Bobby (TripleRCycleSki). I also got some powdercoating work done by Hash1250r. He was kind enough to donate some of his business to help me like others. Now mind you the first time i met this guy who called him self "Nightbreed" I handed him an envelope of 500 dollars. My dad was leery at the time and well today far from it. The whole idea of this project was brought about by Mike #2 (Da_Mtg_Man) They got together and discussed it all and how they would get it down here. They decided on getting it shipped and it was transported by semi. Now this was one of the "Extreme Makeover ATV Edition" Now onto the pictures. Well.....now onto the pictures of no not the ride yet but the bike and its restoration. How my baby arrived.
