ATV - Make it a Perfect Fit

There are about six sizes of ATV's, and it's important to choose the right size for each individual. It reminds me of the nursery story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. You remember that when the bears went for a walk to let their porridge cool, a little girl named Goldilocks entered the house. The father's porridge was too hot, the mother's was too cold, but the baby's porridge was just right, so she ate it all. Then she tried the rocking chairs. The father's chair was too big, mother's didn't fit, but the baby's chair was just right. Same thing with the beds; father's too hard, mother's too soft, and the baby's bed was just right, and she fell asleep in the baby bear's bed.

Enough about nursery stories! But the same thing is true of ATV's. If it doesn't fit, it's no fun, and it could be very dangerous. No child under the age of sixteen should be allowed to ride a full sized ATV. Oh, they may be tall enough and strong enough, but they do not have the maturity to handle the power of a full sized ATV. These machines are not toys, and the first mistake in learning could be fatal.

Get the proper size if the youth wants to drive. The 110B ATV is about two feet tall, it fits a very young child, and is not too powerful for them to control. The next size is about three feet tall and can be 110 or 125cc. The next size is 150B, then the 125L, which may be four feet tall. The largest is from 42 inches to 46 inches tall and is a powerful 250D.

For a lot of fun and safety first, make sure you get the perfect fit. As proficiency grows in the child, and stature grows, the choice of the ATV can be bigger. It is not fun to fight the machine, so it is important to get the right size for fun and safety - a perfect fit.

Safety first is one of my greatest concerns when riding these machines, and I believe everyone who plans to ride motorcycles, ATV's, dirt bikes, etc., no matter what age, should take a course in that particular genre.
