I’m nearly 70 (still can’t believe it!) but decided to get my first ATV. I’ve been riding motorcycles for about 40 years, but the idea of a 4 wheeler appealed to me. I plan using it for tasks around the house, mainly moving my motorcycle trailer from area to area in the back yard so the grass won’t get too long or die underneath it.

I also want to try to find areas where I can ride…but I am not interested in "mud riding" or in any sort of aggressive riding. I just would like to plug along some scenic areas, preferably in the woods. I don’t hunt at present, but that’s always an option…..I do NOT like squirrels! <g> I’m hoping to get some recommendations from folks on this forum as far as where to go riding. I am retired so I have time on my hands.

Also, since I have only ridden one ATV in my life, and that was around the block a few times, I need to get educated on how to ride this thing. I found an online ATV Safety Institute class that I will start this week before I pick up the Rancher in a few days. Any other suggestions for learning how to ride these beasts?

Thanks.
