I never did an introduction post but this seems like a good place to start--with the past.
The day after I moved my oldest daughter into a dorm for her freshman year I was shopping at Sam's Club and saw my first mini-buggy--A 2004 Yerfdog 3206 with 150cc scooter-type engine. I bought it on the spot. It was my first offroad machine and gave me years of fairly trouble-free fun. My daughter gave me plenty of grief for getting into this the day after she left :lol:
Almost everything I know about engines, carburetion, suspension, welding...and helpful forums...I learned from owning that $1300 buggy.
Of course I also learned plenty about the limitations of a 500 pound buggy with a 10HP motor and that's what eventually led me here.
