For the kids who like to play in the dirt and get dirty the ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) is the ultimate off road experience. While they can be taken for distance or they can be taken for utility, typically an ATV is just meant for running up and down the sand dunes or getting down and dirty at the beach with a whole lot of yelling and screaming.

While there seems to be a whole lot of myth to the ATV legend there really shouldn’t be too much confusion; ATV’s in a real broad way are thought of as small, open motored buggies that travel and are used for off road business. The rider sits on the vehicle, straddling it, and gripping the handlebars, operates the ATV like a motorcycle. However an ATV has got three or four wheels which gives it greater stability at slower speeds, which is the primary thing which separates an ATV from an off road motorcycle.

Cheap ATV’s happen to be a tough thing to come by. Since ATV’s are dealt with at a retail level on mostly a ‘new’ basis and because the ATV rider puts so much of their heart, soul, and character into their ATV, they are often reticent to let an old ATV go in lieu of letting it sit in their basement or garage and elapse in it’s own slow manner.

But if you can find a cheap ATV probably the first place to look would be at a dealer; they may be selling a swath of new bikes to some folks and he may be able to persuade them to sell off their old vehicles to you, through the dealer. It is probably customary for some kind of gratis in a situation like that. The ATV dealer really has no need to involve you in any of their customers’ personal lives nor do they have the obligation to upset their customer and run the risk of losing a sale for you. So I’d consult with your Ms. Manners book at home, but I’m sure some kind of generosity on your part would be welcome.

Cheap ATV tires are something that a dealer is a lot more likely to have ready supply of. All their customers have need for tires so if you need to purge this supply of tires; you can no doubt pillage a few for relatively cheap price.
