    I broadcast, by hand, ant granules around my stacks, tossing some into voids. I've not had problems with ants or bees, since doing that.

    After a bit of research...Suzuki actually started with the LT125 in 1982.

    Yamaha also 1984 with the YFM200

    Kawasaki was 1985 with the 185 Bayou

    Polaris got into the game then too later on...took them quite a while to come up with something worth owning IMO.
    I'll stop with the derail now...:whistle:

    No derail. Great info and fun to talk about. Love this stuff. Our old place was only thirty acres and we had over 3 miles of trails on it plus the race track with jumps and 3 wide banked turns. The boys and I had lots of fun there although I'm sure the neighbors would cuss us on a dry dusty day when we would run the track. After the boys left home, I let the track grow grass so it wouldn't be so dusty when riding on it. I had a dogleg around the big jump for the fient of heart also.

    I used to ride with some guys that had 400EX, 660 Raptors, and the KawSuk 400s. They could pull away from me a little but on the track nobody could pass anybody else. However, one of the guys got one of the Yamaha 450s soon after they came out and after riding with him, I gave up trying to be fast... Those were a game changer for stock machines. The only time I ever got to ride with a Banshee was one year at the fair they had quad dirt drags and since only six of us showed up with 2-stroke quads, they put us all in one class. First round I drew the piped up Banshee to run against... end of my drag career... LOL but it was fun. I also ran in the senior class and first round there I drew the guy that had won the unlimited open class earlier. Can't remeber what it was, 750cc monster 4 wheel drive that had a flippin' turbo on it... I remember his tail lights... They got dim real quick!!! Money talks...

    Aahhh, fun times...

    I dont find many ants in my stacks. Mostly spiders. And knats when i bring wood in. Sometimes I'll plug in a bug light in the stove room to thin the herd.
