While at the camp this weekend, my dad and I decided that we need means of transportation. I talked him out of getting a gas golf cart that would break eventually, and He didn't want to buy side by side just yet (lease isn't that big). So we came up with the idea to get some Honda Big Reds.

While searching for some hunting load outs for the Big Red, I found this awesome GOAT. Once I get my rig set up Ill post some photos. Gonna try to dazzle it up a bit like the one in the photo.

Anyone else would like to share pics of their rigs? I'm planning on getting a Yamaha Grizzly if we end up getting into the 3,000 acre lease we want in on.

That thing is a crème puff. It may look a little better up front once the winch tears off the mudflap.

Id be afraid to scratch that thing and get her covered in blood. Sweet bike tho, brings back some childhood memories.

Careful inspection of that rear rack shows no paint scraped off so this owner definately does not do wheelies on this wheeler.

My pawpaw gave me his dads Big Red. I bought new plastics, got someone to go through the engine and bought a new metal gas tank to replace the plastic one. Still need to get new tires on it, but it's a work in progress. I grew up on that thing, probably the best thing I own.



When I got it, it was looking rough.

Looks sweet, but why a winch? I have never been on a BR and thought I needed a winch.

That's bad arse!!!

I had a big red back it the day when I was a dumbass kid. Pretty much nothing I wouldn't do or any mud hole I would hit with that thing.

I used to burn my inner leg all the time on the engine block as a kid! I was so little I had to reach down with my hand to pull up the clutch every time to shift

Best ATV ever made IMO. That's a cool ride you got there. I think it was '86 when they came out with reverse and also front and rear shocks. Soon after that they all went to four wheels.

.

My mom tells a story about around when I was just born my dad bought a ATC 250R. She says she walked outside and saw him driving down the road with the front wheel up and sparks flying behind him.

I wish that was my rig. I was searching for hunting set ups on the Big Red and found that beast. We are just now working on getting some trikes.

I remember when I was about 4 or 5 dad and I went for a drive and came home with a brand new big red.........mom was pissed.

I also recall one of the first things we did was stand it up on the back rack in the front yard.
