So to all you fellow aatv owners out there i own a 1969 kid hints the screen name and when i was towing it home i got some of the strangest looks (almost as if i was towing a space ship) so my question is what do people do when they look at your atv?

Last Christmas, McCoy, Lewis and I rode up the the mid atlantic headquaters of Attex (Don's house) to pick up McCoy's superchief. at a fuel stop on the way back we were all in the gas station getting snacks and walked back out to find a small crowd gathered around the trailerA well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. -

I like it when I'm towing and girls pass me and smile. I make believe it's me and not the aatv they admire.
A couple of really cute girls pulled up and frantically gestured to me one time.. but it was all about a shredded trailer tire.. sigh.

LTV KID, that is a pretty mean looking machine you have there. I like it.
Does it run . . . or, will it take some work first???
But, as far as getting funny looks when you are hauling an AATV . . . I bought my Max IV from a guy in eastern Ohio. So, I hauled it from there in eastern Ohio to central Pennsylvania--a 400 highway mile trip--the looks I got from virtually every vehicle that past were priceless.

Can't say that Whipper & I get too many strange looks when we're trailing the cars. There are just so many different toys out here that people have pretty much tunnel vision about anything that you tow. The shocker probably is when they see Whipper & I (2 dirty fossils) sitting in the truck after a day of riding. There has never been a time when we've gone riding where someone hasn't stopped to gawk & talk.

Its my story and im sticken to it
Was going to go 6x6ing after work had a bent axle i was going to fix quick before we went . Got home wife hadYES GUYS SHE WAS DIRTY BUT HAD THE AXLE OUT i hurried up changed IT. My 7 year SON gets in says it better not break again. I Squeezed the throttle and the plastic broke around the throttle cable ball 
My kid was getting mad so thinking quick i took his thumb throttle brake 1 piece setup off of his 4 wheeler and put it on the attex. IT WORKED. We get to the gas station and were inside getting hoagies and drink to ride and picnic that day. I noticed a boy and his father who are on a four wheeler beside bruiser. The father is real puzzled and finally ask how the thing works and i explained how. 
: He looked really cluless and asked again in further detail. And then i realized the whole brake thumb throttle 4 wheeler gas setup is what really had him confused. He did not understand it had nothing to do with anything but the gas. FUNNY 4 us confusing for him. There has never been a time we went riding somebody has not showed intrest in are 6x6 Wait till the see 4 coming at once HEHE HEHE xxx :

The best is when you drive them in a
parade with a herd of Quads. You can pick out faces as you're coming up the street and just see their thoughts kinda like:
: Quad... Quad with big tires... Quad with big tires and snorkel kit ... Little Quad
... then they see you coming and you can just see it: HOLY COW WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING!!! all pointing fingers and stuff -I'm tellin' ya' it's priceless !!!
DESTRUCTION is just a couple of vowels down the street from DISTRACTIONComment

After all the years I kinda forget about what I'm towing and looking for reactions from people who pass.. I end up towing mostly at night. A lot of times cars and trucks will come up on me fast, then suddenly slow down and hang out for a while back there wondering what that olive drab mud covered thing with 8 wheels is..To Invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.

yep
havnt towed mine anywhere but home for now but just wanted to see what to expect. Believe it or not i was one of those bright eyes kid not to long ago and that is how i found out about aatvs. But here in the south its not like in alaska and canada not too many people have aatvs just four wheelers. And Rolling X 6 check out the other aatvs section and you can find a thread that me and some other kid owners use alot to find about about my machine and some way better ones that are goals for mine. 8x8 twice as good as 4x4Comment

What is that?
Always get a crowd when i take the machine to the lake in the summer time. I have a 9.9 Mariner outboard for more propulsion. As the wife drives it into the water and i run the outboard it is always a crowd pleaser. People run out to the end of their docks on our water trip, jet ski's come close and pontoon boats slow down to discuss what it is. The wife and i and the dogs just keep moving. We have always had a lot of question upon our return seems like they wait to see it come out of the water.Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"Comment

Last time I had one of my Tracksters on the trailer, I pulled into Walmart on the way home, a guy pulls in behind me, asks if I want another one. We talkes, exchanged info, I went to his place a couple weeks later ands bought his Marsh model. Was trailering that home, stopped for gas, another guy comes over, says he has one that hasn't ran for years, I bought and picked that one up the next weekend. Towing them around works for me
