does he still have a quad?

and if yes what kind?:confused:

[Rip_Tear]

He had a 400ex, but I remember he was trying to sell it on here, don't know what happened.

I miss the old days, I'd get home from high school and log on and keep checking the forums till I went to bed.

in 2000 i just found out what a 4 wheeler was :p

[250rmike]

yea thats why i started this thread so some of us long time members could find each other and talk alittle bit. i used to log onto this site every day also during school after school. if i wasnt riding i was on here

[300exrider99]

i've been around since '01 and only have about 75 posts. I still miss the black background and now that i think about it, didnt the forum crash or lose all of its info during an update back in 2001 and everyone had to re register?? if so than i was around before that too.

[SRH]

june 01 right here

[gncc025]

July 02



i have went prolly a year and a half before logging back on. just recently started visiting again bout 2 months ago.

[Toadz400]

I used to be Flyin#3-1/2. I joined in 2002 I believe but I always hung around and read things on this site since the beginning. I remember the old black and red colors, I think it should go back to the way it was...looked so much cooler.

Oh, and this is still EXRiders to me...I don't think I've ever typed in "ATVRiders". And I always have to think for a second when I see people posting about "ATVRiders" on different forums, I sometimes think that they made a new site that I haven't seen before:o .

[firefighterjosh]

When I was 17 I got on here all the time during school. I forget what my name was I think Yamaha_Banshee_Rider. All I did was talk about how awesome Yamaha was and how honda sucked. Then I never got on for like 3 years, But Now I am 21 and have lost the Yamaha is the only good thing around.
I still type in exriders.com

[flyin#5]

i was flyin_400ex back in the day... when you had to go up hill on the internet both ways in fourty five feet of snow for 23 miles just to get to this site.

:D funny ^

[bradley300]

i'm nt sure when i signed on, but i've been here since a least early 02. i miss the good ole days too!

i just sa my first post was 4-6-02, so i'm sure thats my join date too

[bwamos]

I was around back then. Under a different user name. bamos I beleive, who knows, was too long ago. But, I left for acouple years, and lost my password so i just created a new account when i came back.. lol.

[trx440]

I never knew I was #3 on the list ?!

I've always thought of myself as 'Old School' and this proves it.

I remember coming over here from ATVConnection, with Gabe and Cory, I didn't post as much here as much as I sold ALOT of parts here. I went back and deleted those old posts / replies. Must of wiped out over a thousand of them. I would get 10 PM's a day about stuff that was sold over a year ago.

This site is still listed as EXRiders in my Favorites in the second position behind ATVConn. [though I never go there any more.]

My atv'ing has slowed down alot. I still go to the dunes @ 6 times a year, including the week between Christmas ans New Years. I sold the mighty trx440 3 years ago for $6500. Only lost $8000 on that deal.:eek:
But it was worth every penny of it. I remember getting my Houser suspension back in '99 and everybody telling me, "Get LSR or Laeger!" I bet I made John alot of money over the years, ALL of my IL-IN-MI buddies ran his stuff.

I've had a couple of 250R 3 wheelers and a couple of 450R's since moving to AZ from IL. Still think about getting an EX and making a Sparks 465 alky just for giggles.

I am waiting to see what the Kawasaki is like before buying a quad in November. I still had my Tecate4 when I first started hanging out on ATV websites and have always had a thing for Team Green even though the logical side of me says buy a Honda.

I may even give the Zuk a shot this year, my how things have changed.

I've spent alot of time here and have enjoyed reading your guys contributions, I still shout at Gabe every 6 months or so, when I run into him @ 450R.org. Anyways, I raise a cold one to all the 'Old Schoolers'. SALUTE!

[dober250R]

I was always on RRiders.com. Owning a 250R, that was the place for information. Then when that website closed down, I turned to the dark side, exriders.com.:devil: :macho
