EC2 17 Jun 2006 Auction Over Everest Climber
The auction is over and I think I am going to use this site as a chronicle of my four-wheel ATV adventures. What could be closer to climbing Mount Everest than my soon to be more frequent journeys up the mountains of North Idaho on four wheels?
The four wheeler I use is nothing special but it gets me where I want to go. It is a 2002 Yamaha Bear Tracker 4x2 with a 250cc four-stroke engine. I picked it up a couple months ago from an elderly man who is a client. His son gave him a new Suzuki 500 and he gave me a good deal on his old one. Up to today, I have clocked a whopping 3.5 hours on this machine. Pretty much have the hang of the lean and shifting is pretty simple on these machines -- no clutch, even though I'm used to shifting without one anyway!
My son has a lot more time on these machines than I do. Last year he picked up a new Honda 500 4x4 with winch and plow. Fine machine and he rides well. These things come pretty easy for him, he's been operating heavy equipment since he was thirteen or fourteen and he's a great soccer player and a second degree green belt in karate. He took me on a trip up to the top of Canfield mountain last month. Tomorrow, we ride the mountain again.
Random Humor: Attorney Joke
Last night I slept like an attorney.
I lied on side and then the other.
