Angus,the mother in me says DON'T get one....but if you really,really want one...PLEASE be careful and make sure you know what your doing when you get on it! Greg and his brother were married and in thier twenties when they had bikes,....they rode like idiots and Greg was right they were lucky they didn't get more hurt then they did :?

The yamaha is a good bike, I still have the IT 175 that I bought back in 1980, needs some carb work but still runs.
2 things to have before you ride is the full face motocross style helmet and boots for the feet.
Don't know if they still have that cross bar on the handlebars but I hit that so hard one time that I bent a V in it. If I hadn't been wearing that full face helmet that bar probably would have went half way through my head.(and they had a foam pad on it :shock: )
I used to ride with sneakers or sometimes barefoot, but one day I was checking the cows and going hell bent across a empty pasture when I kicked up a electric fence wire. It looped over both my feet and then wrapped up tight in the rear tire. It pulled that wire so tight that it pulled me up on the gas tank, if I hadn't been wearing my boots that day I know it would have cut my feet off. I don't think I have worn anything but boots since that day.
One main thing to remember is that you should always assume the gate is CLOSED!!!
A friend and I were riding one day and his father drove by and saw the gate was open so he closed it. My friends bike was faster so he was way out front, at the last second he saw the gate was shut and layed the bike down and slid under the gate just catching the bottom barbwire with his arm sliceing it up real good. might have taken his head off if he had hit it straight on.
other than that have fun!! :twisted: 8) I always used mine to move cows, worked good when we had to move them next to a planted field cause I could drive down the rows and keep them pushed out without doing a lot of damage to the crop.

They can be dangerous, even when you're being careful. :nod:
My dad had one back right after we got married, and I was riding the 4 wheeler, and Hubby was riding the Yamaha. We crossed the cement crossing on the creek, and it had that green slimey moss on it. I made it fine on my ride, but Hubby's motorbike went out from under him, and they both skidded across the crossing. He wasn't hurt, the bike wasn't hurt, but both could have been real easily.
Ya gotta be careful on them.............
