OZ ATV :: The Australian ATV Forum

Hey Everyone

I thought I would join up to meet some like minded people who are into ATV's. I use to be right into my motocross etc when I was younger and bikes in general.

My kids are getting to the age there getting into bikes with there friends which is great and quads seem to be all the rage these days. My young bloke enjoys getting out with his mates but after seeing him out there and wondering how he would go with his own, I decided it would be cool to get him a buggy instead something different.

With this in mind I went back to my youth for some reason and found a 1984 Honda Odyssey FL250. It was a bit of a wreck when I got it but it was complete so that was a bonus. I stripped it to a bare chassis and rebuilt it ground up doing everything myself as I'm a mechanic and pretty handy at painting also. Took me 3 months and was a labour of love for my boy, not sure if anyone else would have been as crazy as me and gone as far as I have with it but I enjoyed it.

Look forward to looking around the site and chatting to people.

Sounds great, I would love to see some pics of your rebuild or at least the end result?

Hi Racerstu

Sorry for the delay, had to try and figure out how to add pic's on here. I have heaps of photos of the whole rebuild but will just put up
A few to show how far I went with it.
