New Toy

Postby bdosborn » Fri Sep 28, 2012 4:04 pm

We have a new toy to play with, a Chinese Yamaha ATV clone . My brother-in-law gave it to us to get it away from his sons and their friends (they hit a tree and dunked it in a pond). I sure get a lot of looks going down the highway with this setup.

Kind of scary getting it up there but the truck rode surprisingly well. It's definitely a lot of weight up higher than I would like but it works.

Looks like you need to build a new boxcar... a toy hauler! :lol:

Congrats!
I'll bet that people give you a wide berth on the road! It makes you look like you are not to be toyed with.

We stashed the ATV up at the in-laws cabin. I don't think we'll be moving till next spring...

12' long ramps that fold in half. They're in the bed under the cover. Kinda scary getting the ATV on and off...

The company my wife worked for before her stroke ate building 8 & 12 passenger ATVs. Kinda neat to see what they can do with
the imagination they have down there. They also make rescue and fire fighting ATVs.

The big ones are for the oil well rigs in western North Dakota.
