Hey All,
I am about to buy my first ATV: 2008 Kawasaki KXF450R. Any comments? (Never owned an atv)
I am wondering if anyone has any guff on building your own mx track? I live on 42 acres with a front yard about 20 acres in size begging to be turned into a atv heaven! Its great loamy soil all cleared. I also have about 20 acres of bush out the back of the house which has a bit of a track. Any tips on building a track in the front paddok would be great.

I also wanna get into ATV racing. I live in the East Gippsland area in Victoria and was wondering if any body new of any folks who race around my area?

Cheers

Welcome to the site Lugz. Good choice with the ride, they're a spiffy looking machine and we should be seeing more of them with the new team racing this year. What type of track are you loking at building. MX or enduro?

a quaker mmmm
welcome to quadin
If you like green I wont hold it against you

We have done a fair amount of traveling in the last 18 month and seen many tracks. The most important thing I think is to have a nice flow.... perhaps we need a poll as to what makes a good track
