I started out riding mini bikes at about age 5, then a honda 100 enduro, then a 125 elsinore 2 stroke, then rode yamaha 225 trimoto 3 wheelers, then stepped up to the ATC250R in 1986 at age 20. Bought it brand new at the dealer for $1850. Then purchased a 1987 250R fourtrax. Kept the ATC250R and 250 Fourtrax untill 1991 and sold due to kids etc... I have always had friends with ATV's throughout the years and have kept riding a few times a year. My mom and dad recently purchased a cabin in Cloudcroft,NM and I go up there several times a year to visit. All their neighbors up in Cloudcroft have ATV's and there are several trails in the Lincoln national forest that can be ridden on right from their cabin. So needless to say I had to purchase a 4 wheeler so that I could ride up thier. 2 years ago I bought a 2004 Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O. and had a blast up thier riding in the cool mountain air during the summer. I then bought a 2005 Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O. and then a 2007 Sportsman 700 EFI earlier this year. I have previously sold the 2004 Polaris, and just sold the 2005 Polaris last week to purchase the 700XX. I live in Highland Village, TX just north of the DFW area and am 47 years old.
